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!

Not bilingual, no guide - We had no guide that traveled to the sites with us (and no information at all given at the Tule tree or Hierve el agua), only a driver. The main problem is that this is advertised as a bilingual tour… I am glad I speak Spanish and English. When we boarded the van, nothing was said to us until we got to the Tule tree, and then it was just that we had 30 min to walk around. No information about the site or its significance. However what was said, was in Spanish only, so I translated for some of the non-Spanish speakers, who, bear in mind, thought they signed up for an English tour. When we got to the next stops, a Spanish/English speaking participant of the group had to translate the instructions that were given from the driver. It is not the fault of the participants for not knowing Spanish if they signed up for a tour that was advertised as being in English… and that was for the stops where we had a guide.
