Petrified waterfall tour - My sister and I booked this tour and absolutely loved it. It was our favorite part of our trip to Oaxaca. Arriving early before all the other tourists was amazing, because we got to experience it all to ourselves which was so special. Our driver was great and the whole experience was very rich and fulfilling. Highly recommend this tour!

Early visit to Hierve el Agua - Very pleasant trip by van with 4 other people. Javier was a great driver and host, and was very attentive to our needs. We had ample time at Hierve el Agua, a good lunch stop, a local weaver, and an additional visit to a Mezcal place. And still got back to Oaxaca by mid afternoon.

A fabulous 15th birthday present for my daughter! - We had a wonderful day with a good amount of time to spend at Hierve de Agua which was stunning, not to be missed. We did the hike and got very hot and sweaty which made the pools blissful to plunge into when we got back to the top. Could have spent another hour there at least. The lunch was lovely and we really enjoyed the textiles visit, both family run places with very friendly people. Our driver was friendly and patient and seemed to get us to each place before the crowds arrived. Thanks for everything.

Great day trip! - We booked the day trip to Hierve el Agua and Teotitlán. Enjoy Oaxaca was very communicative and provided just enough information to make our reservation easy. Kley was our driver for the day, and he arrived right on time at 7am in a nice Mercedes van and spoke great English. The views of the countryside outside Oaxaca were beautiful and the trip was just wonderful! I don’t enjoy hiking but that hike was perfect as it had lots of great stops for photos of amazing views and ended with a refreshing dip in the mineral pools. The stop at the Zapotec weavers’ studio was very cool and we loved the demonstration of the weaving process. It was a great trip!

Great tour, Enjoy Oaxaca tour company gets kudos - Hierve el Agua was spectacular, and we especially enjoyed the visit to the weaving village. We were really surprised to see how much work went into making one of their woven rugs. They are incredibly talented artists. Javier our guide was top notch. A special shout out to our tour company, Enjoy Oaxaca. They had a vehicle problem the first day so we scheduled the tour. They treated us to lunch that day and paid for our taxi to the airport as a thank you for the inconvenience. They went above and beyond, but it was much appreciated.

Not really a guided tour - Not really a tour but more a drive in what seemed like a safe comfortable vehicle. I liked that we left early (7a) so we had Hierve el Agua to ourselves for about an hour. The weaving shop in Teotitlan del Valle was interesting but I would have liked to visit a few different shops. Our small group opted to skip lunch and head back to town. The only "guiding" that took place was when the driver pull to the side of the road to point out some petroglyphs. For a solo traveler it seems like an OK deal but if you're with a group I would look at renting a car or hiring a driver instead.

Trip to Hierve,Tule,Teotitlán and Mezcal tasting - Favourite leg of this Tour was Hierve el Agua.The tour also includes Tule which is impressive,Mitla ruins which are quite interesting but not as impressive as Monte Alban and a visit to carpet making in Teotitlán del Valle and a Mezcal tasting.
In the latter 2 stops the Demo on how the products are made is fascinating.
Driver was Isaias and Tour Guide was Edelmira.The guide was friendly but her English was only Fair and she was hard to understand at times.
I would have liked her to give better directions in Hierve so that I could figure out what option to choose.
So here is my version of what to choose…
There are 3 choices:
-To the left Down the path to the pools
-To the Right until fork in road gives several views not available the other way and only slightly challenging if you turn right at this fork.
-Also to the right but at fork,go left and it takes you to the base of Hierve.Definitely worth it for the views,but the way back is fairly challenging,especially for those not used to the Altitude.
Great views.
For the swimming I recommend water shoes or something for your feet to walk around in,unless you don’t mind getting your tennis shoes or sandals wet.
It can be very slippery in certain spots and Water shoes help.
Lunch was at a buffet style restaurant,which is not my Favourite style of food,but the selection was very extensive and easy to find enough for anyone to eat.
Lunch is Extra.
This is another good point.
Be sure to have sufficient cash for food,entrances to different options,tips for the Demos and even change for the Restrooms.
Also,tips for the Guides who I suspect make a good part of their salary from tips.
Overall it was a great trip and I definitely recommend.
