The perfect mix of nature and culture - Pavel is a very knowledgeable guide on all the different topics covered throughout this trip. He enjoys his work every minute, which makes it fun. Oscar is a very safe driver, this makes this experience one to relax and enjoy. The van was new and in excellent condition. The timing of the stops is perfect and leaves enough time also to explore by yourself. It was the perfect tour!

Great way to see all of the local sites in one day - We loved this tour as we saw so much in one day. We also really enjoyed the guides that they had organized at each location and the amount of time we had at each location. Our guide was also very sweet and our driver felt very safe. Keep in mind it was a LONG tour and we were gone from 8 a.m. until almost 8 at night.

Wonderful tour of variety of sites outside city of Oaxaca - We had a wonderful time on the tour. We got to do a lot but never felt rushed. Our guide, Pavel, was knowledgeable about a wide variety of things, from the Zapotec culture to the process of making Mezcal. He did a great job of giving us free time and building a great deal of comradie among a group of 12 absolute strangers. Given how many things we did on the tour, it was a great value. We would highly recommend to anyone who is traveling in Oaxaca.

A must! Excellent touring Co.! - Zapotec Tours were fantastic! We enjoyed their tour to Hierva de Agua, Mitla, Tule and Mezcal and we can’t recommend it enough! The group size of 12 was just right. Their van was very comfortable and well ventilated and they played lovely Mexican music throughout the trip that was not too loud. They were right on time departing from their very centrally located center to the time we were dropped off back in the Zocalo center. Their guide, Liz was wonderful providing information both in English and Spanish. She was very informative setting the history and expectations of what we were to see and do at each of the places. I particularly appreciated that she stayed with us throughout the day vs just dropping us off at each site to fend for ourselves! They also allowed a reasonable time for solo sightseeing and/or shopping at each location. Another highlight was the restaurant they picked for lunch. These are usually a hit and miss, but this one provided a very tasty buffet menu of wonderful Mexican fare! I highly recommend this tour and look forward to taking another tour with this excellent company!

Owen’s on tour - It’s a long day. Early start late finish. Just about sums it up. That’s all you really need to know that they may not explain fully.
