Great day - I had an excellent day. The tour was well organised and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, the driver was also lovely. The activities were all really worthwhile and interesting and hierve al agua was very beautiful. be prepared for a long day and bring your swimsuit and cash for the entrance fees, shopping and tips. The restaurant we stopped at was decent enough too. I definitely recommend this trip

Excellent tour! - Excellent tour, hitting lots of points but never felt rushed or overwhelming. Our guide, Moses, was awesome- his enthusiasm was contagious. The textile and weaving stop was incredible. The bus was small but comfortable enough. Highly recommend if you’re short on time and want to see lots of stuff!

A Variety of sites outside of the City - This is a good tour to get out of the city and see some of the environment. It is a mix of activities which I enjoyed, and we did not stay at any one too long. I found the Mezcal distillery a bit disappointing as it was a big tour bus stop. Fr a small group Viator could find something more authentic. The tour guide was fine, and had a good command of English as well, but ran out of steam after the Mitla stop, and did not have much to say after that. As a tour guide myself, I think he could have provided us with more information about the Oaxaca way of life on our return. But worth the cost for the day in my opinion.

We could experience many... - We could experience many things in one tour but having enough time at each stop. One thing I missed is that tour didn’t go up to the Teotitlan del Valley village but stops at roadside textile shop to see dying and weaving demo.
