Authentic Oaxaca - Long day, but totally worth it! I loved the variety of activities, the fun international group and the masterful tour guide. I felt that I got to SEE Oaxaca, from pre Columbia to modern times. The calcified waterfalls were better that any pictures I saw before hand and were the highlight of the day. There was a great balance of tour and solo time.

Angel was an Angel! - Our tour was absolutely fantastic and exceptionally well-planned. From start to finish, everything was seamless, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience. Our guide, Angel, was outstanding. His deep knowledge of each site, combined with his gift for storytelling, brought history to life in a way that was both engaging and informative. You could truly see his passion for his work, which made the tour even more special. Beyond just sharing facts, he made every moment captivating, and we thoroughly enjoyed our conversations with him. Our driver, Hector, was an absolute gem—kind, courteous, and always looking out for us. He ensured we traveled comfortably and safely, always ready to lend a hand as we got in and out of the vehicle. Together, Angel and Hector made this tour an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better team, and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an amazing journey!

Great tour if you want to cover a lot on one day. - Angel was a wonderful guide. We had a great trip! Tour is quite long but great option for someone who wants to cover many sights on one day. Herve del aqua is beautiful and it was interesting to see the mezcal distilling process too.

A piece of Heaven called Oaxaca - This is a great tour if you have limited time in Oaxaca, this day trip will give you the experience of true Oaxacan culture, my favorite was driving through the sierra madre mountains to see Hierve el agua (boil water) the amazing petrified waterfall, the view is amazing! The lunch buffet was great, got to taste a little bit of many traditional foods. Textile making was super interesting, talk about sustainability and using everything that nature gives you to create this amazing Art! And of course, Mezcal, Oaxaca water! Mezcal tasting in the palenque was amazing! Our guide was super nice and friendly and explain everything step by step. Our Oaxacan native guide spoke perfect English, I was blown away! I 100% recommend this trip.

I highly recommend this trip - I took the all-day tour that included the giant tree in Santa Maria Tule, the hand-dyed and hand-woven rug factory in Teotitlán, Hierve de Agua, the ruins in Mitla, and a mezcal factory in Tlacolula. Moses was our guide, and he was excellent. He had a lot of energy and had lots to say about every place we visited. He made the trip very interesting. I was blown away be the processes involved in making the rugs. From how the sheep’s wool is turned into yarn, to how it is dyed, and then woven – all was very interesting and impressive. Hieve de Agua was unique. I walked down to the third viewpoint and was impressed with this amazing, gigantic statue created by nature. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch had lots of different choices and everything I ate was delicious. The mezcal factory was a fun finale to the day. One word of advice – Bring a snack to eat along the way. We didn’t eat lunch until 3:30pm.
