Itinerary
Wake up to a morning of relaxation and fun as you meet your guide at your accommodation or another convenient spot in Mexico. Get ready to be whisked away to the captivating Grutas de Tolantongo!
Immerse yourself in the soothing embrace of hot waters, ranging from 35º to 38º C (95-100° F), while feasting your eyes upon breathtaking views of one of Mexico’s finest natural wonders. Dive into a world of fun within a collection of hot spring pools, ingeniously carved into a cliff of a picturesque canyon, where towering walls reach up to 500 m high (1640 ft).
Marvel at the enchanting grottos, where a small volcanically-heated river meanders through the canyon floor. Picture yourself in the grand grotto chamber, stretching half the size of a tennis court, with a magnificent ceiling soaring up to 10 m high (32 ft). Above, a hidden gem awaits -a delightful “tunnel” where warm water showers those who dare venture inside, revealing a small cavern of wonders, 15 m deep (49 ft).

Reviews
From Travel Bloggers
"If you want my opinion, doing a private tour with Vibe Adventures is the way forward if you are a couple or can get a small group together to bring down the cost. I was with my partner and our guide gave us plenty of time and space to relax and enjoy the experience. We never felt rushed at all. It really was the perfect day."
"You have 4 options to get to Grutas Tolantongo from Mexico City – sign up for a private or a group tour, rent a car or take the bus. I opted for the private tour option with Vibe Adventures and that was really the best decision for me as a solo traveler. Silvia and Jorge, my Vibe Adventures guides scheduled the entire day according to what I wanted."
From Customers
We stayed in Mexico City for a week and had many tours but this was the best one! Yadira drove us and she played awesome music! She also gave us a recommendation for breakfast and the food was wonderful.
Roberto was our guide and he was such a wealth of knowledge. I learned so much and highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Grutas Tolantongo or to anyone visiting Mexico City. Hands down, the best tour offered in Mexico City thanks to the beauty of Grutas Tolantongo and the extraordinary tour guide and driver!
I recently went on a day trip from Mexico City to the Grutas de Tolantongo with Vibe. They called me the night before to confirm the pickup location and time and also ensured I knew what to bring and expect. Sal, my guide, arrived on the dot and was great company during the nearly 4 hour drive. He showed us to the best locations at the site and gave my daughter and me space and time to enjoy the location together. Because this was a private tour, our pick up and departure times were flexible which was really nice. On the way back, we stopped at a local shop to enjoy some pulque. Great experience.
Thank you Vibe Adventures, Ernesto, & Silvia for the fantastic tours.
We couldn't recommend Vibe Adventures highly enough for your next Mexico City excursion!
What an incredible experience!! Couldn't have spent a better day with Vibe Adventures at this magical place. Our driver Ulises and tour guide Sylvia were the nicest and friendliest guides I've ever met. They were super knowledgeable and took us to the best spots in the Grutas!
I can't wait to come back and do more tours with Vibe Adventures and am very grateful for this experience.
Totally worth the money and the long-ish drive there! Book your tour with Vibe now!!

awesome!
We went on a private tour with these guys to Grutas Tolantongo and it was the most fun experience we had in our whole stay in Mexico City. Our guide was Edgardo and the driver was George. They also took us to a bunch of local places (not tourist stops) and we had a great time trying out local flavors like tamales, pastes, pulque, xoconestle liquor, etc, and experienced the typical life of the locals. I highly recommend these guys for your tours. They are fun to talk to, great energy, and they speak Spanish and English.

great tour guide
Diana was a great tour guide! She was so accommodating & let us stop wherever we asked, even stopped for mangos on the car ride home! She knew excellent english & provided us with alot of information about the culture there. Beautiful place to visit & a must see if in Mexico City. We were hesitant about the long journey in one day but so worth it. The river and waterfalls were an even better experience then the hot springs but both were equally great. Highly recommend!
