    So much fun
    Rachael_F, Apr 2024
    We had such a fun time. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the area and I really enjoyed listening to the stories and legends on the drive to Hierve el agua where the views are amazing. There were 4 of us in total on the trip. I recommend for hierve el agua to wearing swim wear underneath clothes and wearing trainers for the walk. We found it easy enough to find the waterfall and had enough time at the pools. I’d take flip flops in your bag and a towel as the ground gets very hot on the feet walking between the pools - I couldn’t be bothered putting trainers back on in between. There are changing rooms there. Afterwards we sat down for a beer and some fresh fruit. We headed on to the Mezcal tour and learned a lot about the process. The sampling was so much fun, I asked for smaller measurements and I’m glad I did as there is quite a selection to sample (recommend a large breakfast before you go!) and I know I’m a lightweight! We ended up going for drinks and food with the two other ladies in the group after.
    fun day

    the whole day was great our guide adreil knew the area very well, many stops lots of history, i would highly recommend the local tour guides iat hievre (now)they work for tips they know
    Fun and informative tour
    Debby_K, Apr 2024
    Great small group tour with a total of 7 guests, in a comfortable air-conditioned van. Excellent service by the team on WhatsApp prior to the tour, and Adriel the guide provided a lot of information on Oaxaca, the culture and history. The Hierve al Agua was pretty with several instragram spots if you bring your swimsuit. Good amount of time to enjoy and laze around before heading off to the mezcal distillery, where we learnt about the different agave and sampled 10 different types. Overall a fun day spent learning about Oaxaca and its people and practices.
    Great day trip!
    Laura_D, Apr 2024
    Great experience, knowledgable and passionate guide. The day wasn’t too long and flowed nicely. Hierve el Agua was the highlight, amazing day!
    Great day with a great tour guide
    Caitlyn_D, Apr 2024
    Adriel our guide was by far the best part of the trip! He was amazing and super knowledgeable. I would highly recommend a tour with him
    Don’t miss it!
    Edgar_A, Apr 2024
    Adriel was amazing, learnt so much about Oaxaca. Was one of the best tours we have done. Thanks for having us!
    Best Car Ride & Tour Guidep
    Rachel_J, Mar 2024
    Adriel was awesome. We honestly enjoyed the car ride where he provides history and stories around the Oaxacan culture on the way to all of the tours. Marcos, the driver is equally awesome. We truly enjoyed our time on the tour.
    Good combo - stunning views & Mezcal!
    Lorna_F, Mar 2024
    The views are stunning & getting into the pools was so nice after a bit of a hike (we didn’t go all the way down) Our guide Adriel gave us an interesting running commentary throughout the drive. Mezcal tour - v cool & fun with bartender Santiago! Would recommend!
    Fantastic

    Our tour guide Adrial & our driver Jorge were knowledgeable, kind & considerate they made our experience extra Special….
    Don't hesitate! Great tour of Hierve el Agua/Mezcal Tasting!
    KRISTINA_E, Mar 2024
    Words cannot describe how incredible this tour was, and it would not have been possible without our guide, Adriel! He was such a pleasure to talk to! Very informative and attentive. We learned a wealth of knowledge from him about everything from Oaxacan traditions to mezcal. He went above and beyond, showing us different sites and experiences. And, a big GRACÍAS to our mezcal expert, Santiago - porque algunas mezcales son para desayuno! 😉
    If you do one trip in Oaxaca, do this one.
    Natalie_R, Mar 2024
    If you are planning a trip to the petrified waterfalls and a mescal distillery tour, book this one! I cannot recommend it enough and if you can arrange for Adriel as your tour guide, then do. The trip was planned amazingly, not rushed and not too long. Adriel is the best tour guide we have ever met. His knowledge and enthusiasm is second to none. He made our day. So relaxed, kind, professional and so passionate about Oaxaca and the people. If you do one trip in Oaxaca, do this one. Thank you Adriel and of course our Oscar our driver.
    Fab day at Hierva del agua
    sonia_k, Mar 2024
    We had a great day with Adriel, and with a small group of 3 we got a real personalised experience. Adriel was very considerate, gave us a lot of info and answered our questions. We had just over 2 hours at Hierva which was enough time to hike to one of the viewpoints and then dip in all three pools. At our request, Adriel took us to a local cocina for some delicious quesadillas and juice. The mezcal tour was interesting, and Santiago, our barman was entertaining. Im not a huge mezcal fan but enjoyed the tour still and enjoyed sampling the cremas on offer. We were also lucky to fit in a trip to a rug maker - this wasnt on the itinerary but due to our interest Adriel made a special effort for us to see it. I recommend this tour as Adriel was great and we had a good amount of time at each place we visited.
    Amazing Day
    Thomas_K, Mar 2024
    We loved our guide. Juan spoke perfect English and educated us about the country and region. He also educated us about the history, significance and production of mezcal. The stops were well timed and the van was air conditioned and very comfortable. An amazing day!!
    Great guided tour, perfect for small groups or couples!
    Nathan_L, Mar 2024
    We were a group of 4, the van was pretty comfortable, and with a good air conditioner. The guide was bilingual so you can take the tour in English or Spanish. We stopped at a nice place for lunch. The tour was everything as described. The visit to the mezcal distillery was a lot of fun. Everything was 5 stars and felt like a personalized tour. Thank you for everything!
    The Perfect Tour
    Mj_C, Mar 2024
    An incredible time was had on this day trip with Adriel (Guide) & Marcos (Driver). I liked that it was a small group which made moving around & coordinating much simpler. Adriel is incredibly kind & knowledgeable about the various cultures within Oaxaca. They spoke passionately about Oxacan history & customs. They retold many stories and was incredibly attentive throughout the day. The day went perfectly and I’d like to take more tours with Adriel in the future. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us!
    A map would be helpful.
    Larry_I, Mar 2024
    It would have been nice to have a map of Hierve el agua because the tour guide could not get into the area with us (which I understand) and there were no clear signs in the area. I could not find the at way to the swimming pools and the water falls easily.
    Don’t miss this tour

    Karen was amazing. we are from the US and speak zero Spanish but she had perfect command of the English language, and made us feel very comfortable. All of our questions were answered and we would highly recommend this tour as we had a blast!
    Great tour!
    Michele_P, Feb 2024
    Adriel was an excellent tour guide. He spoke perfect English and gave us loads of information about our destinations. The waterfalls and pools were beautiful and Mezcal tasting was a lot of fun. Highly recommend
    Perfect!!
    Gabriel_V, Feb 2024
    This has been the most fun and memorable tours I have ever been on. Julio our tour guide was very professional and very informative. We always felt safe and knew ahead of time where we were going. During the trip there was plenty of options to choose from on how the trip would go. Julio knew everyone at every spot and it felt super friendly. He was even helping out at a restaurant we were at just to make sure we got our food on time. He speaks perfect English and Spanish! I could not recommend this trip more. It was a blast!!!
    Great trip
    Ursula_R, Feb 2024
