Monterrey Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I'm very happy I booked this excursion. The tour guide was great and showed up right on time at my hotel There was only two people on the tour which was really nice. Emmauel was a good driver and a good tour guide. He also had many great tips on things to do in Monterrey and even things to do in other places all over Mexico. Highly Recommended

Grutas experience is a MUST ! Our guide was so kind and very informative. safe & fun! We had a nice quick breakfast then headed straight to mountain .

Emilio and Carlos made sure this excursion went swimmingly. They picked us up on time, gave us a thorough overview of Monterrey, and communicated clearly. Great experience!

Camila was wonderful! She provided a lot of information about history, cool places to visit, cool facts! The pictures she had really helped explain and visualize what she was saying!Highly recommend

My tour guide Mike was incredible and well prepared

Excellent experience, it is the second time I have done it and I loved it

I loved it, the team of Lily and Lily are incredible people, I love them so much. Attn: Worth it 🫶

I really enjoyed the tour and Vicente’s excellent guidance. He took us to the cave and García, and while driving, he explained the history of Monterrey and shared his own views and perspectives.This was our family’s first trip to Mexico, and his descriptions of the cities and life in Monterrey were very helpful as we explored the city on our own in the following days. Our whole family really appreciated it.The cave tour was amazing! We don’t speak Spanish, but Vicente explained everything to us in English, which made the experience much more enjoyable. We made some wonderful memories, and we are very grateful to Vicente for making our first trip to Mexico so special.

This is a great tour for getting out of Monterrey city and seeing the beautiful mountains around the region.Jonathan was our guide. He contacted me via WhatsApp the day before giving pick up instructions and advising on attire. He was on time the next day, and the whole experience was very easy and smooth.The drive to the cable car is a bit over an hour. Jonathan had a good patter about the areas that we passed as well as typical Monterrey foods and recommended restaurants. It was easy and fun to talk with him (he speaks excellent English, and his tourist Spanish is great too, if you need the practice!).We had a short wait between our arrival and our turn to take the cable car. There are clean bathrooms and a few shops. Jonathan bought us a drink that was like Mexican Gatorade (salted pineapple juice with some Sprite and chunks of pineapple topped with Tajin). Delicious!The cable car ride is short, maybe five minutes. The car will be packed, but there are windows at the top of the car, so it doesn't get too stuffy.The tour of the cave was very good. There were enough breaks that it was not very strenuous. I will say that I was glad that my kids don't ask me to carry them any longer as some of the steps are uneven, and I imagine it'd be difficult to carry a squirmy toddler down them. Jonathan took pictures of us the whole time and sent them all to me at the end of the day so I didn't have to take them (and so that I'd appear in them!). It made everything so easy.After our cave visit, we went to the small town of Garcia for some more pictures and walking and also some ice cream. Then it was time to return to Monterrey/San Pedro Garza.Would happily recommend this tour to anyone wanting to get out of the city and see some cool caves.

We had an amazing tour of downtown area and park. My partner wasn't feeling well so we had to skip the last part. Our guide was very kind and we t out of his way to ensure our comfort. He went back to his vehicle to get umbrellas. He was knowledgeable about the area and was born and raised in Monterrey. Thank you so much for a great experience

It was a very good tour; I loved the view, the general's house, but above all the slides. It was a great experience, and the guide, besides knowing a lot, has a great personality.

Our Night Tour of Monterrey was an excellent experience, and Emilio made it unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the city's history while showing us some of Monterrey's most iconic spots. His pop-up quizzes kept the tour interactive, and his great sense of humor made it even more enjoyable. He was also incredibly patient and thoughtful, taking photos for everyone and making sure we all had a wonderful experience.We were fortunate to have Emilio as our guide on all three tours we booked in Monterrey, and he consistently exceeded our expectations.The only downside was that we paid for hotel transfers, but they weren't provided as expected. We had to take Ubers to the meeting locations instead. Aside from that inconvenience, the tour was fantastic, and I would definitely recommend it—especially if you get Emilio as your guide!

The trip absolutely hit the right spot. It was a really enjoyable hike and easy enough for both my 16-year-old son and me. A few tips: bring a waterproof bag for your phone and any valuables, and wear off-terrain or water shoes with good drainage, as you'll be walking through water in certain sections. Don't forget sunblock, plenty of hydration, and a small plastic bag for your trash. We had perfect weather, and jumping into the cool water along the way felt amazing. We didn't even need towels since we dried off pretty quickly in the warm air. Our guide was fantastic. She knew the route inside out, kept us moving at a good pace, and showed us some great spots to jump into the water. Her local knowledge really added to the experience. Good job! All in all, it was a great day out for anyone who enjoys being outdoors and around water but doesn't necessarily want to spend 8–9 hours grinding up a mountain. Highly recommended 😀

Ruth was awesome. Her son was the translator and both were so kind. They shared so much about Monterrey and about themselves and we really enjoyed their authenticity.

Unique experience, great food tastings! Prompt, great communication prior, and could not have been better with Caesar

Exceptional hike, but relatively difficult. Reserved for regular hikers in the mountains. Amazing view, guide The Outlands very friendly. Allow plenty of water and electrolytes to hydrate. During our stay it was almost 45 degrees Celsius.
