A great educational experience with wonderful people. - We loved our experience in the communities and on the hike. Everyone was very friendly, kind, helpful. It would have been helpful to know what additional expenses were involved just so that we had been sure to carry enough cash. It was a great day.

Memorable - The views, the flowers, the stories. This was a wonderful tour. The bromeliads were amazing. Such a nice walk in the forest and perfect timing since it was 90 degrees F in the city and much cooler in the mountains. The hike was amazing (would not do this particular hike in the rainy season but there are choices). Our over all guide was so fun and full of information about the traditions of her people. The hiking guide had many stories about the land and of the history of his family on it. Very worthwhile tour

tour not included - It was only transportation. Tours are extra. At the end hike and utensil demonstration was told had to pay for the tour. Wasn't interested in paying for all the other offerings so had the driver takes us up to the town of Ixtlan and wandered around. I guess in their defense it says admission to Oaxaca is included not the "tours" to the places the van you get in goes to.
