Amazing Tour with Alex to Cola de Caballo - Our tour to Cola de Caballo with Alex was fantastic! He picked us up right on time with cold drinks and welcomed us with a wonderful conversation about Monterrey’s history and culture. His knowledge of Santiago and the surrounding areas made the experience even more enriching.
Alex answered all our questions about Monterrey’s education system, industries, and daily life, sharing insightful details with enthusiasm. He spoke perfect English, making everything easy to follow. Lunch at a small local spot was a great touch delicious food and an authentic experience.
This was the perfect time of year to visit, as there weren’t many tourists, making the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour and Alex as a guide!

Cola de Caballo - A nice walk in nature to see a unique waterfall. It was an overcast misty day which made the walk and waterfall even nicer. Had a nice lunch in Santiago along with a nice tour of town. Really enjoyed the whole trip.

Getting out of Monterrey City - Excellent guide. Alex was knowledgable and friendly. It was a pleasure to visit the waterfall. I’d personally prefer a more natural environment but it makes it accessible to family with small children’s and elderly family members.

Excellent time with Polo at the waterfalls and Santiago - This was a wonderful half day experience. We saw a lot of local things and really enjoyed Polo as our guide. The waterfalls were beautiful. Going in the morning was great as there was no one else there when we arrived! The visit to Santiago was special and we loved our meal at Las Palomas. The portions are huge! If you are considering this outing you must do it!!!

Beautiful Falls and Charming city - This is a nice relaxing experience. The falls themselves are beautiful and its an easy hike to the top. Definitely recommend seeing this place. The santiago city is charming, and please try the Elotes in santiago. Also, Polo was amazing for us. He is an amazing guide and highly recommend booking with him.

Polo is a great tour guide. - This wasn't the experience that i initially signed up for, but due to unexpected circumstances they had to cancel our first experience, and changed to the Cola de Caballo. It was a great experience primarily due to having Polo as our tour guide. Not only was he a tour guide, but also our driver. He provided very great information about Monterrey and the Magical town of Santiago, and was very friendly. He made us very comfortable in our tour that it seemed that he was a friend who was showing us around. He even provided us with great recommendations on our trip in Monterrey. None the less this experience is worth doing when you visit Monterrey.

10/10 experience - Wonderful experience! Perfect way to explore beautiful nature of Monterrey.
And the tour guide Alex is very passionate about Monterrey - its history and nature.
Plus - incredible service (they had some cold drinks, also offered an umbrella during rain) so you don’t have to worry about anything. Would definitely recommend!

Beatiful parts of Monterrey - Glad to have visited the waterfall when there are lots of rain this year. Our guide, Polo, was friendly and knowledgeable. We throughly enjoyed our walks and learning a bit about history at each part of the tour.
