Amazing tour!! Stephanie was the best guide and the tour was the perfect duration + locations - This tour was so fun! It was the perfect duration (I can't do group travel for too long) and Stephanie and her driver were excellent guides. Stephanie was a great storyteller when it came to the rich history of Oaxaca, Mitla (where you stop first at the bakery for bread and hot chocolate) and also the pools. You get a nice amount of time to explore the pools, get food or hike around. The sprinter van was nice with AC and they played fun music throughout and the Mezcal tasting tour was also exactly as we had hoped! All in all, I highly recommend this tour and especially Stephanie as your guide.

Magical experience - Highly recommend this tour. Great value for money. The bus was super comfortable and (very importantly) air conditioned. Stephanie (fanny) was very knowledgeable and infectiously passionate about oaxacan history and culture. The time spent at hierve al agua was magical. Hike was well worth it but bring plenty of water! One of the best experience of trip so far.

Highly worth it if you're in the area! Here's why: - Stephanie is the greatest guide! Gave us a very detailed overview of the bakery we stopped at, Hierve el Agua, and the mezcaleria. After the trip, she gave us a list of recommendations for mezcal bars, restaurants, and things to do in Oaxaca. The vibe in the van during trips was amazing with Stephanie asking us what music should be played. Definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Oaxaca.

Fantastic day - We had a fantastic day. The drive was beautiful and not too long with a stop at the bakery on the way. Fany was very informative and pointed out some highlights along the way. I can’t say enough great things about Hierve el Agua. Definitely a must see! It was nice to have 3 hours to explore on our own. The mezcal distillery stop on the way back was also memorable.

A perfectly paced tour with just enough to do - The tour was perfectly paced and didn’t overstuff the stops. Margarita was a joy of a tour guide, and the entire group had an excellent time together. I’d recommend this to anyone coming to Oaxaca!
