Great all day trip-lots to do see and learn

Deborah_A, Apr 2024

A really fun all day trip- we crammed a tons of fun things into this day- Zenon was a fantastic guide- fun and personable and so knowledgeable . We had my husband and I on crutches and some really cute little kids in our van and we all had a great time getting to know each other. The mezcal distillery was a great addition and the lunch we stopped for was fantastic too!

Hierva el Agua full day tour

Silvia_S, Apr 2024

This tour was worth every dollar. The sites we visited were breath taking and the Hierva El Agua was amazing. The tour guide Rocio was great!

Allison_K, Apr 2024

I have two main issues with this company. If your advertising says offered in English, then speak in English. If your tour has an itinerary, stick to it. Tourists rely on accuracy and truthfulness when signing up for tours. Tour began but only in Spanish. I felt uncomfortable for asking for English translations because I was the only non-speaking Spanish person on the tour. I signed up so I can understand the tour guide, not for a chauffeur to drive me around. Otherwise I would’ve hired a taxi driver to these locations. Luckily the driver spoke beautiful English and guided my husband and I while the actual tour guide did a separate tour with the others. You can tell the driver was annoyed and he was only supposed to be driving that day, not tour guiding. The listing is not as promised. I do not recommend. Both guides were nice but like I said, business is business. Offer what you are advertising. If I was a white American instead of colored, would it have been different?

Good tour with plenty of activities!

Ann_C, Apr 2024

We thought the tour was really good value for money and it was well thought out tour. The tour guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English to an international group. The only minor down point was that lunch was scheduled in later than expected, (at the start perhaps this should have been mentioned so that people were prepared at the start of the trip).

Excellent tour

richard_i, Apr 2024

Great guide, very informative, worth every dollar. Would recommend to any visitor to Oaxaca. History and descriptions top notch.

Great tour !

graciela_z, Mar 2024

Zenon and Rocio were very informative and helpful, they were great at time management. The tour was good my favorite part was the buffet!

Informative and enjoyable

Moses_D, Mar 2024

Highly recommended

lynne_s, Mar 2024

It was great fun from start to finish. Our guide was excellent with so much knowledge of the places we visited. He definitely made the whole day very interesting.

Faith in humanity

Cheryl_P, Feb 2024

The experience of swimming in the pools overlooking the valley and mountains was lovely. The hike to the petrified waterfalls was a good workout. We ran short of time and didn’t quite make it to the falls, but saw beautiful picture's. After we left one of our group left his wallet at a table. We collectively agreed to go back, a 45 min drive. He anxiously left the van to see if it was still there. When he returned he said his faith in humanity was restored! We all let out a cheer and we’re grateful the driver agreed to go back! Great experience 😊

Must do in Oaxaca

Nico_P, Dec 2023

Totally worth it, we basically spent the whole day with the tour but time flew sooo fast, every stop hides something amazing to discover and the two main ones (Hierve el Agua and Mitla) left us speechless and amazed. Strongly recommended when in Oaxaca

A very long day, very informative and well done. .

John_H, Dec 2023

The tour of Mitla and the petrified waterfall. Since I have to add more characters, it would have been nice to have water provided. There was no good place to get more before lunch.

All day tour that’s totally worth it!

Calvin_C, Nov 2023

This was a wonderful tour with multiple highlights, Hierve al Agua topping the list! The natural beauty of the site is amazing! All stops for the tour were highly engaging. Would definitely recommend!

It was amazing

Yeset_F, Nov 2023

Hierve El Agua was fantastic (bring a swimsuit or a change of clothes) and our tour guide was great he was very informative.

Great guide.

Pamela_G, Oct 2023

The Hierve el Agua and Mitla visits were great. Our guide was excellent. Out of his control was the fact we started with 17 people instead of the maximum 12. We seemed to wait for someone at the start and again new people at Hievre El Agua. So it was 3:30 before we got to lunch. The buffet was excellent except they stopped refilling bowls so they were empty or nearly empty. By the time we went to the mescaline and rug demonstration it was 8:30 when we left the bus. Far too long a day. The bus had poor air conditioning and my friends seat back was broken.

Was ok

Nejla_M, Oct 2023

Paid almost 30 dollars extra ( without lunch included ) when you have same tour at 45 dollars without entrance fees ( they cost total all together maybe max 10 $) Overpriced for what we did..

Tour highlight of our trip!!

Salina_F, Oct 2023

This tour was a highlight of our trip! Our tour guide arrived to our hotel on time to pick us up. They safely drove us to our destinations and told stories along the way about the Oaxacan culture and explained why we were going to each location thoroughly in English. There was so much we saw and learned. We also had a nice lunch and enjoyed getting to know the other people on our tour. It was a super fun and educational day. I high recommend!

Worth it

Jocelin_d, Oct 2023
