Definitely do the private tour - Gilberto was an excellent tour guide we had a blast definitely suggest the private tour we got to spend over an hour in the mud relaxing before the tour buses showed up. We were the first ones in the mud and i loved that. He was very informative and knowledgeable. The locals were also great.

Amazing tour! Private car was worth it - We had an incredible time! We opted for a 6:30 pickup on a Wednesday and were the first people there. We had the volcano all to ourselves for at least 30 minutes. The people who work there were super nice and friendly! They took great photos and looked after our belongings and were very respectful when doing the mud massage and bathing. Our driver was right on time, very respectful, and looked after us to make sure we were comfortable while we were at the volcano. Overall would definitely recommend! The private tour was worth it. Remember to bring a lot of smaller peso bills to make it easy to split tips to everyone involved in the experience.

Mud Bath - Gina and Carlos took real good care of us. They were punctual and very informative throughout the entirety of the trip. They had us at the volcano before the crowds got there. Thank you.

Visit to the mud volcano !! - We had a wonderful experience on this tour! Gilberto our driver picked us up on time and we got there in 45 mins. There was a person who carried our bags, one took our pictures, and then others who massaged us in the lava. The ladies who helped to wash the lava off were very nice too! The empanadas were delicious after we cleaned up! Everything was organized and lots of fun!

An experience was had! - This was definitely different and interesting to say the least! The pickup was smooth they came right to our air bnb, the driver Gilberto was very nice and answered any questions we had. On the ride their he gave a detailed explanation of the excursion. When we got there there were several locals waiting to be “at our service”. One held our bag so it wouldn’t get muddy, one took photos, one gave a massage in the mud if you opt in of course. I did get the massage it felt great. The mud is thick and tricky to balance in. Im not one for mud so wasn’t my thing but I’m sure others enjoy. We chose the private tour so we got their around 730am. We did this so that we can relax have time and space it was just the two of us. Later in the day bus full of tourists were coming who all got in together or waited in line for a short turn. Private tour and early way worth the $$. When the mud is done you have the option of cleaning off in the shower or a “lagoon” with the help of a local Colombian women. I chose the shower which was makeshift but did the job then changed. My partner chose the lagoon which then she was washed down like a baby by the locals. She said it was something to remember. If you like your privacy chose the shower. Then after all cleaned we had some food and drink that was provided it was actually very tasty. Lastly on the way out all the locals that helped along the way will come to retrieve their tips. Gilberto let us know what fair tips were on the way so we were prepared. They took pesos and US dollars. The experience overall was fun not something I would do again but I would recommend to people who haven’t done it yet!
