5.00our driver was very sweet and informative. The private ride was better than going with the group because we had more control of when to leave!
Just what we were looking for

5.00The whole experience was great. We’re not tour people but needed a way to get to Tolantongo for the day. The car was comfortable and our driver, Alejandro, was extremely kind and reliable. He was there to help if we needed him but otherwise we were able to enjoy a nice day at the hot springs.
Carlos was the best!

5.00We hired a private car for our Viator tour, and Carlos was fantastic. He communicated clearly, explained everything at each stop, and was extremely patient while we took our time. He even took a shortcut that got us to and from Grutas Tolantongo Hot Springs faster than expected. One of the biggest perks of the private car is that you can go directly into the park without waiting for the tram to move between areas. It made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend this private car service and especially Carlos—excellent service from start to finish.
Wonderful Transportation Experience

The trip itself was incredible, and the place is simply breathtaking. This is an absolute must‑see when visiting Mexico. Highly recommended!
