What a wonderful tour! The itinerary is well done where you have enough time to enjoy each location and not feel rushed. The tour guide, Antonio, was fabulous! He was informative, organized, and funny.

A complete day

JeffreyAnthony_A, Apr 2024

This is the same as the other tour except that the entrance fees are included in this one. The day could have gone better had the guide exerted more effort. We could barely hear him, most of the time he was just mumbling to himself.

Wonderful Tour

Denesia_L, Apr 2024

Wonderful time, very informative, Great time!

Andrew_P, Apr 2024

We had a great time with Miguel, was a full day of a lot of the sites we wanted to see. Started with El Tule, then the Weaving place, The Zapotec Ruins in Mitla, stopped for 1 hour lunch, the Hierve El Agua.

A Perfect Full-Day Oaxaca Experience

Caleb_H, Mar 2024

The meet up hotel is easy to find downtown. We left on time. The group was small and that made it more fun. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the locations and a really nice guy. We spent plenty of time at all the locations to enjoy what we were seeing. Absolutely loved each destination. 10/10 would highly recommend. Bring your swimsuit!

Fun and comprehensive tour, not too touristy

Pia_R, Feb 2024

The tour was well managed and organized— stops were not too long nor too short. We were told we’d be back by 7pm but thankfully we were back by 5:30pm. I really liked Mitla and Teotitlan. Buy souvenirs and ice cream/juice at Mitla, the prices are pretty good. For Hierve el Agua, it’s easy to get lost and accidentally hike too far, I think it would’ve been better if the guide joined us all the way in. It’s very very hot this time of year so make sure you have water! Food at the buffet restaurant was around MXN198 and it tasted okay, but there are definitey better Mexican meals around.

A must experience for first timers!

Mila_S, Feb 2024

The whole trip was a great experience! From the Tule,and the rug making process wow a learning experience. And the mezcal was amazing,and tasty! The highlight of the trip was the Hierve el Agua(boiling water) is breath taking! Is a must while visiting Oaxaca and I’m so impressed with our tour guides . Making everyone feel very comfortable and accommodating to each persons needs.

Best experience

Karen_M, Jan 2024

It was incredible, the staff was super knowledgeable and helpful. They kept the entire group on time but also gave enough time to enjoy every experience

Amazing tour!

Ceren_C, Jan 2024

It was a nice organized trip with lovely people. Mezcal tasting was the highlight. Clementine did an amazing job. Thank you!

The tour was really nice....

Katarzyna_W, Nov 2023

The tour was really nice. With tight schedule and in a bit rush but very pleasant. The tour guide was awesome!

Spectacular!!

Bianca_M, May 2023

I really enjoyed all of it, but my favorite part of the experience was the tour of ancient Mitla and the natural pools at the hierve el agua. Definitely bring a bathing suit. It is a legit pool! I wished the mezcal portion was more interactive. Maybe we could’ve taken a tour of the agave farm, but I enjoyed the mezcal tasting. I gave an excellent review because the travel service was great (picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel), friendly, and on time.

Loved it

Wendy_T, May 2023

Lovely tour with the guide Antonio. We saw quite a bit and I was grateful for the experience and for our guide.

Good if you want the full cultural experience - but skip it if you only want the main event!

Madie_G, Mar 2023

Firstly our guide was absolutely lovely. He was patient, kind and a wealth of information. The best part of the tour is El Tule and Hierve el Agua (for us anyway). We would have rather skipped the mezcal and wool making part (but someone people might really enjoy this). Unfortunately lunch was not great and we didn’t enjoy the restaurant. Personally I would recommend seeing the tree and waterfall on your own as you don’t need a guide for either BUT if you want to be more cultural then I recommend doing this tour as it packs a lot in and ticks a lot of boxes in that regard

Average

Sarah_C, Mar 2023

The tour seemed pretty average to me, we made all the stops, but nothing about our guide and the information he gave to us wasn't truly exceptional. It was difficult to hear or understand him over the muffled microphone from the back of the bus, so we missed out on a lot of information. At the sites, we were left to explore on our own. I suppose I was hoping for a more engaging and personal experience, but the stop at Teotitlan was definitely a highlight.

Saw a lot in a day

Jon_C, Mar 2023

It was a long day but we’ll worth the time. Very good tour and water at Hierve el Agua felt very good.

Enjoyable day

Unnati_P, Mar 2023

Antonio was an incredibly knowledgable tour guide and made the day really interesting and enjoyable. He knew so much about all the sites and was happy to answer questions. The day ran smoothly.

Beautiful sites

Miranda_B, Feb 2023

The organization is a bit funny. They were super clear on timing for pickup but then we drove around 30 minutes in the center picking others up to end up in a meeting point with other vans. 5/10 people in our van were on the wrong tour and got moved. This was a long seemingly unnecessary start to the day. The little stops are fun and not too long or too short however the guide really didn’t seem interested in the day or answering people’s questions. The guide also wasn’t in our van so presumably the van he was In got lots more Info than us. We thought it was smaller groups but our whole group was about 23 people so listening to the guide at Mitla was also tough. Hierve el agua is beautiful but do your research before as he gave us no info on what we were seeing

Sight Seeing In Oaxaca Mexico!

Gayle_M, Feb 2023

I really enjoyed all of our stops. I never could have done this on my own. There is so much to see and our tour guides were wonderful. We were taken to a buffet for lunch the food was excellent! The only thing is be prepared for a long day .

Highlights for me were...

Anne_M, Feb 2023

Highlights for me were Teotiltlan and the petrified waterfalls - my husband really enjoyed being able swim in the pools.

Mitla was our fav!

Beatriz_H, Jan 2023

Really enjoyed Mitla, and hearing about all its history the tour guide is very knowledgeable and was very friendly

Definitely worth doing!

Chris_Q, Jan 2023

Good tour, worth doing to see lots of the main attractions outside of Oaxaca. Cost was fairly reasonable given how much you see and the guide is quite good. I think we spent enough time in each place, so not too rushed. Only downside was that we were picked up first, very early, but then proceeded to go to a number of hotels to pick up others, all within a 10minute walk of each other, but this process took almost an hour (and the final stop was about 5 minutes walk from our pick up) which was a total waste of our time sat in a mini van.
