A great tour guide - We went on an all day prearranged tour with Emillio who went above and beyond to show us a good time in comfort. He speaks perfect English knows the history and the areas surrounding Oaxaca, Hierve de Agua, restaurants, weavers Mezcal making, etc. It was a perfect day. I highly recommend him.

Excellent visit to Zapotec weavers and Hierve el Agua - The first and most memorable stop on our tour was to the workshop of the Vasquez family of master weavers in Teotitlan del Valle. We were treated to a thorough tour of the entire process of weaving, from carding and spinning the wool, through the dyeing process, and finally weaving rugs and other items using the same ancient patterns and dyes the Zapotec people originated thousands of years ago. Everyone was so welcoming and eager to share their expertise with us. Next, our excellent guide, Jeshua, took us to Hierve el Agua, to see the fascinating petrified waterfalls and wander around the pools, although we didn't go swimming. Since Jeshua wasn't allowed to accompany us to the waterfalls, it would have been nice if there had been someone else there to tell us more about the origin and the stories surrounding these interesting mineral formations, but we enjoyed seeing them nonetheless. We then made a brief stop at a mezcal distillery for an interesting tour and tasting. Overall this was a great day trip and we enjoyed spending time with our very personable and knowledgeable guide, although there was one brief hiccup at the start of the day, when a non-English-speaking guide showed up at our airbnb to pick us up. The confusion was quickly resolved when Jeshua called us and arranged to meet at a nearby pickup location.

A fabulous tour of Oaxaca - Today we toured the petrified water fall, weaving village and had lunch. What a fantastic tour! Our guide, Alberto Teton was amazing. He shared so much information about the area, its history, and happily attended to our every need. We were extremely happy with our guide, his company and our tour. I highly recommend them.

Awesome Experience Throughout - We had a great experience on this tour. We took our 4 years old and 20 months old with us and we all enjoyed the adventure. Bathing in the natural pools was awesome, we skipped the hike to accommodate for our grumpy toddler and it was the right call as we could still get a good view of the waterfall and get some awesome pics .This was the kiddos favorite by far. The drive is epic (great views and dirt roads) but our van was super comfy and Javier is a master driver in bustling Oaxacan traffic and on mountain roads. The mezcal tour at Don Agave was great too with a delicious lunch and a very knowledgeable guide and this was my husband's favorite. My personal favorite was touring the gallery of Isaac Vasquez, a master in traditional textile making who was so welcoming and took great pride in his art. So a bit of fun for everyone on this day trip. And finally, thank you to our very patient driver and excellent guide Javier and Ariana at Enjoy Oaxaca who was very helpful with setting up pick up and sending reminders ahead of the trip.

Wonderful Experience fun filled day. Great scenic drive and learning about Oaxaca - My wife and I really enjoyed our tour. It was wonderful learning about the handmade rugs and other products at Teotilan. We enjoyed our hike and chilling at the pools afterwards at Hierve el Agua which is a beautiful sight and the mezcal tasting was perfect to end off the tour. 5/5 definitely worth it. Javier was an excellent tour guide and driver.

Disappointing experience - This tour was disappointing. They switched out the driver/tour guide last minute without telling us, and the whole experience was not very good. He provided little to no direction, dropping us off at the first stop and even letting us walk in the wrong direction until another tour guide kindly pointed out the way. He also was not waiting for us in or anywhere near the van after that stop and said he had gone to lunch - at 11 am when lunch in Mexico is usually at 2pm and with no warning. The whole day was like that. Little information on where he was taking us and what to expect. Our first experience with Viator that has not been positive.
