5It is a must!
It was an amazing experience. We got there early to beat the crowd. Our tour guide Ricardo was very friendly and knowledgeable of the history of the grutas. 100% would recommend! Don't skip on this experience.
510/10 Experience!
It was an absolutely wonderful experience. The express version still gave us plenty of time to enjoy each part of the experience without being rushed. We got back to the city with plenty of time to change and still enjoy dinner. Our guide Eduardo was great. Each part gave us amazing views that were absolutely breathtaking. If you’re thinking about doing it, let this be your sign to book the excursion!
5Excellent Tour
Excellent trip. They are punctual, accommodating, our guide Abril was great. We travel quite a bit and this trip exceeded expectations compared to tour we’ve taken in Europe. Comfortable vehicle. We would 100% do it again. Don’t forget swim shoes, sunscreen and towels!
5Great day!
Gerry was the best guide we have EVER had on a tour. He was so attentive, brought water and snacks for the car ride, took photos all day, and even gave us Polaroids to take home. Mario got us to and from the hot springs safely and smoothly. They were so great, would recommend!

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
