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%

Exceeded expectations - Angel was extremely knowledgeable and did a really nice job switching between Spanish and English. I especially liked the textile / rug making demonstration and being able to purchase a rug from the family.

An outstanding Day in Mitla - A great trip from Oaxaca to get insight into the countryside. Mitla ruins were interesting but smaller than Monte Alban. When you book be sure to request Ángel. Perfectly fluent in Spanish and English and his depth of knowledge was incredible.

An amazing day trip! - Mitla is charming and interesting archaeological center! You can be amazed by the precision of the intricate designs that can be found in the buildings. There is a market where you can find souvenirs and regional dresses, shirts and other clothing at amazing prices! Angel, our tour guide, is very passionate about Oaxaca, its history and culture. We enjoyed our tour very much.

Exceptional experience - The journey there is interesting as you pass through many acres of agave fields. Beautiful mountain scenery. The El Tule tree is magnificent. Know that you will have to pay MX$100 to actually get close to the tree. The gardens surrounding it are magnificent. Next stop Teotitlán de Valle for a presentation by the Gutierrez family (four generations) of how the beautiful hand spun and dyed wool is made into rugs, table runners , pillow covers, etc are made. Large gallery of beautiful items to buy. Next stop Mitla. Amazing place. Our guide, Angel, spoke great English and was very educated and knowledgeable about all aspects of the area. His father is a guide as well and he fell in love with sharing the history of the region. A Oaxacan lunch buffet, an extra MX$200, allows you to try local food. Well worth having a tour and guide. A truly enjoyable and amazing experience.

Great way to see Mitla - Wonderful guide. Loved visiting the town of El Tule, seeing and learning about the natural dyes and the making of the beautiful woven rugs, and experiencing Mitla. Our guide, Angel, greatly increased our enjoyment of every place we visited. Highly recommend.

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.
