About this experience
Tolantongo Grottoes: Live Paradise on Earth (Private Tour) The most relaxing and magical experience you can have in contact with nature. Tour designed for those who want to immerse themselves in a paradise of hot springs, caves and mountainous landscapes, with the comfort, security and personal attention that only an exclusive service can offer. Located north of Mexico City, in a mountainous region of the state of Hidalgo, the Tolantongo Grottoes make up a natural spa that has gained global fame thanks to its turquoise-blue hot springs, mystical caves, warm river, steam tunnels and a network of thermal pools carved on the mountain that seem to float in the sky. The sound of falling water, steam enveloping your body, the warmth of healing mineral waters and the direct connection to a vibrant, living nature make this place a sanctuary for body and soul.

Great place - disappointed with tour operator and driver.
Amazing place and worth the visit, if it hadn't been ruined by the driver. The driver showed up on time and the journey is 4hrs from Mex. City. The route includes an enormous amount of speed breakers in the middle of fast roads and also winding roads. This made the whole journey feel like a roller coaster because of his driving. We had to stop the car twice as one person was incredibly motion sick. This start stop went on for 2hours. The driver (called himself Richard) would drive at high speed (100kmh) and then suddenly break at a speed breaker. According to Viator, we were supposed to be given snacks and a head lamp. We didnt have these. I had also informed Nenemi tours that we have a speciali dietary requirements which was acknowledged. They did nothing with the snacks. The plastic bags were dirty and sticky - no sense of cleanliness or hygiene. The tour operator also started provided terms and conditions of their tour when I accidentally left something in the car. Should all Terms and conditions not be shared BEFORE the tour and not after?
Response from the operator: Hola, esta persona está mintiendo ya que pedía agendar por fuera y se le negó porque nos quería estafar pagando con tarjeta de crédito, fueron muy poco amables, estuvieron llamando a las 2 am para pedir una baja en el costo de su tour (ya tenía descuento) además que olvidaron un bloqueador casi vacío y avisaron 1 hora tarde como le pedimos que nos enviaran un coche de aplicación para devolver su producto (si es de valor nos hacemos responsables) pero su producto estaba terminado; querían la basura, nosotros manejamos diferentes bolsas de celular y también lámparas, estas personas son estafadoras, mucho cuidado! Chequen nuestros comentarios Richard está muy bien reseñado sin embargo como se les negó la devolución están criticándonos

Wonderful excursion!
Tolantongo is a really amazing experience. The pools and view are wonderful and the caves are such a fun and interesting section that I was not expecting and really enjoyed. Our driver was really kind and everyone was so nice it made the trip worth the drive.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for having scheduled with us, and we are very happy that you enjoyed your trip!

Awesome your with Ricardo
This was an amazing trip. Richard aka Ricardo was an incredible tour guide. We are so glad we opted for a private tour. He went with our pace and preferred timing. Thank you Ricardo!
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you very much for leaving us your comment, we do our best to make your experience the best, see you soon

Great tour, but not great transportation for 4
We booked this experience for our family of 4 directly through Viator but the only options online were for 2 people. They had us book two separate bookings for a private tour. You would think for 4 people there would be an adequate car supplied however the car that showed up was a compact car for our family of 4. It was very uncomfortable for a 8-9 hour roundtrip ride. Our driver Daniel was incredible though and completely not his fault that they sent him for this specific group since his car would have been fine for two people. The tour itself was really nice. The pools and cave/tunnel were a lot of fun and the kids loved it too.
Response from the operator: Hello, our tours are personalized for a maximum of 3 people (this is the maximum number we have for this tour). Tolantongo is an amazing destination and we are happy that you liked it.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs cost?
+
Prices start at $2500 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs take?
+
Plan for about 12 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs?
+
Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tolantongo Private Tour + Pastes + One Day at the Hot Springs start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
