The tour was amazing! Our guide, Ana, was very knowledgeable about the history of the grutas, and the towns we passed through along the way there/back. At the grutas, she took us to the pools, the cave/waterfall, and the river, and gave us plenty of time at each stop. Our favorite was the cave/waterfall- she took us deep into the cave which was an incredible adventure. The driver, Miguel, was also great- patient, kind, and a very safe driver. One of the best days we’ve had on our trip, highly recommend Ana and this tour!

It was beautiful. Weekend was crowded but it was alright. We got home super late, past 9pm because of an accident on the way to Mexico city. Transportation was like a roller coaster because of condition of the road but the van has great spring so we were bouncing around. Will recommend this to others.

It was so amazing, and if you’re a solo travel I highly recommend this trip. Everyone was amazing and the food was delicious. Just remember to bring water shoes and a water proof phone case
