Great day all around! - I really enjoyed the tour. Rocio, our guide, set a great mood from the start, and provided us with lots of details of the various sites. Hierve el Agua was beautiful, Mitla was interesting to see...and the Mezcal tasting a nice finish.

Great way to spend a day! - The pools and petrified waterfalls were incredible. Loved the buffet lunch and mexcal tasting. Mitla was beautiful and historic. An incredible way to spend a day in Oaxaca taking in so many sites and food and culture.

A great range of places visited. - Many places visited on this excursion - all fascinating in their own way. Guide was great. Punctual pick up and kept to good timing during the day. We had lunch included which was a variety of traditional dishes buffet style. The only disappointment was a waterless waterfall! It’s a bit of a trek to go down and coming back up in heat is harder! Had a great day.

Definitely will go again! - The tour was very well organized, everything was on time, no delays. Our guides Homero and Rocío are the best, you can see how well prepared they are and their excellent sense of humor is a plus.

A great exposure to indigenous culture and capabilities. - Visits to Hierve de Agua, Tule Tree and Mizla, and visit to the weaving factory were all excellent, as was tour guides discussions of independently-administered towns & cities, and indigenous cultures that long preceded the Spanish. Think tour could be shortened to omit mezcal stop.

For those who likes hikes and nature scenery - Our guide, Zenón, was very patient and drove us all the way to Hierve de agua while explaining the trip itinerary and the formation of hierve de agua and its cultural significance. He speaks both Spanish and English fluently and is an incredible tour guide. Definitely go here if you’re up for a hike and amazing scenery.

ENGLISH TOUR WAS IN SPANISH - The tour was supposed to be in English, but ended up being in Spanish. The tour guide was good, but didn’t know any English. I was only able to understand about 50% of what was being said so I missed out on a lot of the tour. I would recommend finding a tour with a different company if you want a tour in English. It is possible that this was a mistake, but I never heard back from the company. I will update this review if anything changes.
