100% Approval Rating! - We spent the entire day at a beautiful beach that was literally just perfect. In the evening, we celebrated the Fourth of July away from home on the Sips and Smiles Mexican/ devine cocktail tour. This tour is very well thought out and very unique. New drink experiences ( created by a mixologist from Oaxaca just for our tour) varied locations, trivia pursuit questions (fun and educational information about Oaxaca and Mexico), gift bags with cocktail recipes from the tour. Each cocktails is named after a famous Spanish singer Luis Miguel. There is an QR code with the recipe. Each drink is named after a famous song by Luis Miguel .( Luis Miguel is the most famous Spanish-speaking singer in the world.). Our guide knew how to entertain and she did not rush us to complete the tour exactly on time. We all would all nominate Sips and Smiles for an out of the ordinary tour!

Very good atmosphere, excellent place, I will definitely return. - Excellent tour! Mary Rosse, an excellent guide who is always attentive We walked around the very quiet center of Huatulco. The drinks are great and the snacks are 10 out of 10. We traveled from Guanajuato to Bahías de Huatulco and were very satisfied. We will definitely return and shop at Next Stop Huatulco.

Bridal Party Success - My daughter is getting married next month and she wanted one last blow out with her besties in Mexico. Once we decided our destination would be Huatulco I did some research and found a tour called Sips and Smiles(a cocktail tour). When I read the name of the tour, I was sure it was what I wanted as it was completely different from all the other tours on offer. I hit a home run!!!!! Literally, everything was taken care of by Maryrose (our guide). She was there to ensure a memorable night for one and all. The cocktails were created exclusively for Sips and Smiles by a mixologist from Oaxaca city. They cocktails were tasty and the destinations varied which made the evening even more fun. One stop was a mezcal bar. None of us had ever tasted mezcal. (Take baby sips - trust me.) At the end of the tour Maryrose gave each of us a custom mesh bags and recipe cards tied together for the cocktails we taste tested to recreate at home. We had so much fun without being overserved! The consensus of each person in the party is that we would highly recommend this tour and want to go on it again.

We sipped, we smiled, we walked 😃 - We had an amazing time with our very charming and lovely guide MaryRose. Delicious cocktails, tasty snacks and an informative tour of the town all in one, highly recommend for a great evening out!

Absolutely loved it!! - From the beverages, to the knowledge of the area, to the wonderful conversation Maryrose made this tour such a wonderful part of my trip to Huatulco. I highly recommend it to anyone that’s looking for a fantastic experience

Cocktail lovers 2025 - What a better way to end the year than on a Sips and Smiles cocktail tour! We had such a great time. Everything was first class at the same time eclectic. Highly recommended for ALL cocktail lovers.

A cocktail lovers dream! - We are a cocktail-loving family, so when we heard about the Sips and Smiles tour, we knew we had to sign up. Each stop on the tour was unique, and the cocktails we tasted were nothing short of spectacular! Maryrose, our amazing guide, even gifted us the recipes for the drinks we enjoyed, so we could recreate the experience at home. We've already decided that once we're back, we'll throw a cocktail party featuring the delicious drinks we tried in Mexico with Maryrose. It was truly a memorable experience that we’ll cherish – highly recommend for anyone who loves great drinks, fun, and discovering local flavors!

Just great 😃 - Great experience, Maryrose is a beautiful person and lead me to the best places, nice shots an tacos, delicious food and flavors

Must do tour to enjoy real local food and drinks !! - We live in Monterey and know very little about the south of Mexico. We heard there is a new up-and-coming beach area called Huatulco on the coast of Oaxaca. We booked our tickets and off we went and did we make a good decision. We had fun from the minute we landed. To get things off to a roaring start our first night we booked a tour called Sips and Smiles. Each cocktail was created by a mixologist from Oaxaca. There was also an excellent mezcal tasting. The variety of locations made the tour so interesting. The staff at each stop were more than accommodating which made us feel so special. Maryrose our wonderful guide looked after our every need and she was SO much fun. The cocktails were half pours so not only did we thoroughly enjoy ourselves, we were rested to explore our second day in Huatulco. Maryrose was forthcoming with her inside information and this significantly contributed to our wonderful holiday!

Great drinks and food, guide was questionable. - We had done a similar tour in PVR and were excited to try this tour. Unfortunately it fell a bit flat. We waited at the meeting place for a while, the guide didn’t have a sign stating the tour, Viator doesn’t have her business name. We walked around and were asking people. Finally met her and she expected us to be men. We were told that the recipe cards would reflect the drinks we tried, there was only one. Mary Rose didn’t explain the drinks nor did she know what was in some of them. We felt she was a bit rude to some of the staff. She also seemed inebriated and wanted to take a cab 2 blocks to the next restaurant. The restaurants, drinks, and food were great, but the experience wasn’t what we expected. Definitely a good way to try some of the many restaurants. We did go back to a few of the restaurants during our stay.
