A Must See - Adriel is awesome and very knowledgeable. We honestly enjoyed the car ride with him where he teaches you about the history of Oaxaca along to way to every stop. Would definitely take the tour again. Marcos is a great driver, as well.

Must do when in Oaxaca! - Highly recommend this tour. Our guide and driver were so nice and it was great to have someone who could tell us about the places we passed on the drive. We had an explanation and demonstration of the rug making process which was really interesting, the weaver was very welcoming, he clearly loves his craft and his rugs are amazing. Hierve el Agua is beautiful and it was nice to have time for a swim. At the mezcal factory we had an explanation of the process and tried different kinds of mezcals, again the girl who showed us around was really friendly and welcoming. The Thule tree was great to see, there were lots of locals there too and it’s next to a nice church. A real highlight of our trip. Everyone we met from Oaxacool was great, a real highlight of our trip. Thanks guys!

Lovely experience in Oaxaca - This tour was amazing! We started in Teotitlan del Valle where we had a very detailed explanation about zapotec rugs, Oscar is a great artist, his desgins are breath taking. Kerenn was very friendly and provided many good recommendations to explore the city while we were going to the next spot, the mezcal distillery is a beautiful house and the mezcal was so good, this is the perfect tour to explore Oaxaca.

Bad transport, great petrified falls. 2 plus driver, guide and guides girlfriend jammed into ford fiesta with no a/c. - Falls were great, fab swim. Rest was ok with usual pressure to buy mescal or carpets. But 5 pax jammed into a small ford with no a/c was hot, crowded and no fun. Especially for my wife who got stuck in middle back seat!!
