We loved our day trip with Oaxaca by locals! Don’t let the long trip duration deter you from booking - yes it’s long but we loved all the stops, it’s super well organized and the day really does fly by. Our guide Pavel was fantastic - he gave us a lot of great information about all the sites and is very knowledgeable. Also for this price it’s pretty unbeatable, definitely recommend!

Our tour guide Rodrigo was incredible. So much information. The sights were beautiful! Food was great, breath taking views and experiences. 10/10!

The experience was amazing, definitely a must-do when in Oaxaca. The guide was friendly and funny with excellent English. You can wander Hierve el Agua without a local guide, but if you're fit and like to see more things, hiring the local guide is worth it. This tour is so many experiences in one day, that it's definitely worth it.

Very long tour, spent 2 hours at a carpet weaving place and then a candle making place which were obvious funnels to buy things. The tour ended up taking 12 hours which was far too long. Ideally find a different tour which spends less time doing things not on the itinerary. If it was more focussed could have been back much sooner.

Our tour guide Pavel was really excellent! He was very knowledgeable and provided interesting details (just the right amount) that made our experience richer. He was at all times, calm and very competent and kept everyone on track.
As for the tour itself it was a very long day 8am-8pm. I would suggest omitting the intent to marriage flower stop even though it was interesting. The lunch was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed all the activities. If it were possible to go to Hierve el Agua in the morning rather than the heat of the day that might also be a good idea. Thanks for a great experience.

This tour was an excellent experience. We got to see various aspects of the rich oaxacan culture and landscapes. Pavel is an excellent, knowledgeable and nice guide. I'm super happy I did this your. I highly recommend it. It's definitely worth the time and money.

This tour was pretty good value for money. Our guide Rodrigo was excellent. So many interesting facts about Oaxaca! His English was great, too.
It would have been helpful to have more information about the tour in advance, such as what to bring. You'll definitely need to bring at least 500 pesos in cash because you have to pay the entrance fees to Tule Tree, Mitla, & Hierve El Agua, and for the lunch (180 pesos). Ideally you'll want to bring more than that because you'll have plenty of opportunities to buy waters etc., as well as small souvenirs and things. Some of the bathrooms are 10 pesos as well.
You'll also want to bring sneakers (not sandals) for the hike to Hierve El Agua. Lots of walking. And bring a swimsuit for Hierve El Agua. There are changing stations at Hierve El Agua do you don't have to wear it all day.
The bus air conditioner didn't seem to be working, so the bus ride in the afternoon to Hierve El Agua was pretty miserable.
Otherwise, the tour was great & the stops exceeded expectations for me. Even the shorter stops like the textile factory were super cool & interesting.

Overall the tour was good and we really enjoyed our day. The stops were all good and interesting. We felt very rushed at a lot of the sites, especially as an additional stop was made to a candle making shop, which was not on the itinerary. We would rather have spent more time at hierve el agua.
The guide Pawel was very knowledgeable but we felt like he did not want to be there at all, and he was visibly angry and irritated when some people were a few minutes late to some of the spots (despite the addition of the candle part). If also felt like it would have made sense to go to hirve el agua first, as with all the other stops we reached there in the middle of the day when it was hottest and more difficult to hike.

The tour was fabulous and well worth it. Going with guides not only made reaching each destination more convenient but also enriched the cultural experience and learning we did about Oaxaca and the indigenous people and cultures present there today and historically. Rodrigo, our guide, was super knowledgeable and informative and integral to how much fun we had throughout the day. He had great energy, too, and an awesome playlist to end the day when we headed back to the city. The only negative is that we opted online to do the tour in Spanish and it ultimately was conducted in English. Because we all speak and understand English, this was fine; however, it was odd because the confirmation received was for a Spanish tour...

Pavel was a great guide! He was very punctual and gave very accurate descriptions of our itinerary. Definitely recommend booking this tour! You get to see many places in Oaxaca!
