1/2 Day Ideal Tour - Our 1/2 day tour was very informative about indigenous history, a great education about the native weaving process, and interesting architectural details about the ruins in the area. Angel provided the perfect amount of information without overwhelming everyone with details. He was very personable with a fun sense of humor. The 1/2 day trip is ideal for those who don’t want a long day of touring.

Mita, yes go - Angel was a wealth of information and was very enthusiastic about the sites. We loved the textile visit to someone's home.

MItla, Tule, rug weaving tour. - A great trip including the Tule Tree, MItla, rug-weaving and an excellent lunch. Our guide, Miguel, was knowledgeable and excited about Oaxaca’s history and people. He was very engaging and amazed us by switching between Spanish and English seamlessly!

No Regrets - Half day was the perfect amount for us. It was awesome to meet a family that weaved rugs and had a chance to buy directly from them. The Milta ruins were awesome because it was nice to have a tour guide, but then enough time to explore on our own. The buffet food at the end was amazing! Can’t recommend this tour enough.

The half-day group is indeed 5 people participated, but when visiting the attractions... - The half-day group is indeed 5 people to participate, but when visiting the attractions will join with another 30 people to participate in a day tour together
So I personally think this is not a small group. For the number of people I don't mean, this guide is clear English, delivery smooth, so give 5 points
We strongly recommend that you add this travel agency's WhatsApp (can be found online), you can stay in touch due to the delay in the scheduled time due to the traffic jams

Excellent Service. - I loved the experience, they were super punctual. The visit to the tule tree is short but very worthwhile, the place is beautiful and the tree is impressive.
I loved the activity of handmade fabrics.
And Mitla's tour was very nice. The Flor guide shared her personal experience as a person in the community and told us not only the story of books, but also of the community elders who have been passed down through generations.
The buffet lunch was spectacular and only we did the half day tour, the rest continued with other activities.
We had a very comfortable and clean transport and by 2:30 p.m. we were back at the hotel.
I would travel with them again 100%

Great way to see multiple sights in half a day. - This was a great way to see a few sights without spending the entire day. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that our van was older and our seats were dirty, and it seemed like there could have been more to see at Mitla ruins. It was a fairly quick stop given what seemed like there was to see. However, our guide was great!

Great Visit to Tule and Mitla - The tour to Mitla included a stop at Tule tree, to a family of weavers and a great buffet lunch. Overall it was very pleasant and informative. The only complaint is that the tour organizers did not communicate to confirm the time of the pick up (which other tour organizers did the day before for a different tour) so that we could plan and wait outside our hotel.

Disappointed - We purchased a half day to Mitla. But we only got 1.5 at best. The stops at tule and textile mill was wonderful. However, we really didn't get to fully enjoy Mitla as we anticipated. I would recommend you ask before you purchase. Our guides, Luis and Angel were great and very knowledgeable. Thank you
