Great tour guide, honestly. Margarita was personable. friendly, and full of fun and interesting facts about Oaxaca and the site. The itinerary was well structured and it never felt as though you were on a tour with a million people, all on top of each other. The bakery was lovely, and getting to taste the different traditional breads added a friendly touch - really, it is just good business. Hierve el agua speaks for itself. You would be silly to visit Oaxaca and not visit the site. The cold pools were exactly what we needed after our 1 hour hike on that sweltering hot day! The views are spectacular and the petrified waterfalls are a beauty. I am not a mezcal fan, but I enjoyed learning about the production process. The traditional oaxaqueno ice cream was exactly what we need to end the tour - tuna fruit (prickly pear) and mango with chilli were my favourite flavours. I would recommend this tour.

Swimming in the pools, the falls, the views. It was very well organized and Stephanie aka Fanny was an amazing guide, Carlos was also a very good driver. We left on time, the pick up place was easy to find with clean restrooms and a coffee shop. Great group of travellers from all over the world. The mezcal distillery was also very interesting.

The tour was perfect! We had a wonderfull time, met nice people and had a lovely time discovering the panaderia, swiming and hicking at hierve al agua, and doing the mezcal tasting. The hike at hierve al agua is definetely worth it. It’s very short (about 1 hour), and quite easy, and the view is stunning. I suggest you do it before swimming, to refresh after the walk under the hot sun.
Definetely recommand!

Tour was great, didn’t feel rushed. Margarita was our tour guide and very informative, fun and friendly. Only locals are allowed to do tour guides at the waterfalls so Margarita couldn’t come round with us but it was Nice to do our own thing independently when there.

Amazing experiance!! We had Fannie as our tour guide and was great!! She was able to translate everything from spanish to english and touched on some historic points on our way to the Hierve el Agua. Great tour guide, thanks Fannie!!

Overall great experience. I went solo, but was in a group with 8 others. Meeting point was easy to get to and they have bathrooms there. Fany the tour guide was amazing, kind, patient and very informative. The driver was also very nice. The tour was accurate for the description with the stops. We stopped at the bakery where we sampled three different breads and then had 10-15 minutes to purchase breads, tamales or coffee (you can get it to go and eat on the ride to hierve el agua if you’re a slow eater). After arriving at Hierve El Agua (around 11am) we had three hours to hike, swim and eat. The hike is intense but you don’t have to hike if you don’t want to (there is a ramp you can walk down to get to the pools). I suggest bringing water or purchasing water there. There are tour guides you can hire to guide you through the hike (you tip them as much as you’d like), but most of them only speak Spanish. Pesos are the only form of money accepted at the stops so make sure you bring cash to buy food, drinks and souvenirs. You’ll also need 5 pesos each time you need to use the restroom anywhere (except the bakery). There are no lockers available at hierve el agua but you can leave unnecessary items in the van. I personally just left my items next to me at the pool. There are stalls to change in. The food available for purchase were tamales, quesadillas, tyludas, etc. There are snacks like chips, fresh fruit, soda, water, as well as alcohol available. They also had souvenirs, hats and clothes available. After the hike/pools, the mezcal distillery was informative and you are able to try multiple mezcals. You can purchase bottles to take with you. If you spend over 800 pesos you can use a credit or debit card. Anything under is pesos only. Definitely recommend!
