Regional Wonders of Oaxaca - Be prepared for a long day tour. However, I think you will be rewarded in the end. The tree is impressive, the mountain scenery is beautiful, Hierve el agua is breathtaking and unique. Yes the water is cold but go for it. A once in a lifetime experience. Although nowhere near as spectacular as Monte Alban, the archaeological site at Mitla beautiful and intriguing. The Palenque de mezcal was fascinating and will make you a feel good! The artisanal wool presentation and store was interesting and beautifully crafted.

You must take this tour, adventure and fun - This is a full day tour, close to 11 hours. It is packed with adventure and fun times. Every stop was interesting. We truly enjoyed the waterfalls hike and extra time to take a break afterwards and enjoy a drink. The city of Tule was stunning and visiting the old and huge tree was worthwhile. The ruins at Mitla were impressive. The only item of the entire day I would recommend Viator find a better partner was the lunch stop. The buffet was weak and pretty bare by the time we arrived 2:45pm. The textile stop was impressive, we learned so much and purchased a small rug to take home. Our tour guide and driver Xenon, was the best!!!!

A great day exploring a beautiful part of Oaxaca - My partner and I had a fantastic day exploring Hierve de Agua and all other places on this trip. A lot of fun, adventure and learning! Beautiful scenery, food and people! It’s a long day, so be prepared with snacks and plenty of water, however there are plenty of opportunities to pick up food, deinks and other articles throughout the day. Our guide did an incredible job in both English, Spanish and even some Zapotec, making for a very immersive experience

Wonderful day in the countryside of Oaxaca! - It was a long day, but a wonderful experience. We got to see the beautiful countryside of the Oaxaca area, hike at the Hierve del Agua for a couple of hours, visiting Mitla historical site, and see the local culture (weaving and Mezcal). Zenon, our guide, was awesome and provided so much interesting information about the ancient cultures and current village life. Super informative and just an all around great day.

Great tour around Oaxaca. - I really enjoyed the ride. Well organized. Many sites to visit. The only negative was transportation. The minivan was very uncomfortable. My husband was in the back very stuck with 3 other people. All the other tours I did in Mexico had better transport.
