The perfect way to see Hierve el Agua and a Mezcal plantation. - This was a blast. Our guide was super fun and very knowledgable. Hierve el Agua is a stunning formation you cannot miss while in Oaxaca, and the three-hours the tour leaves you there is more than enough time to do a quick hike, swim in the pools, and grab a bite to eat. The mezcal tasting and plantation tour was also fantastic with deeply enthusiastic, passionate staff that love what they do. Our tour, however, ran two hours over the allocated time. That was partially because our Mezcal tasing went over, and also because there were protests in the area that caused a traffic nightmare to no fault of the tour. We would highly recommend this experience.

Beautiful day - Love it ! Estefania was the perfect guide, funny and knowledgeable. The nature at the cascade is beautiful and the swim such a nice addition. The degustation of Mezcal was also such a fun moment. We leave this tour with a lot of precious memories.

Great trip; 100% recommend - Fabulous tour—Rodrigo was incredibly informative and interesting about Oaxaca and its history, as well as very funny and good-humored! We enjoyed everything we did and appreciated all the information and recommendations on food and mezcal, as well as the actual scheduled stops. I was a bit apprehensive about the hike as I hadn’t thought through shoes when I was packing, but the very gentle hike we did (around the side of the falls) was fine in decent, secure sandals. There are much more aggressive hikes available, I believe—next time! The mezcal distillery tour was also fascinating. I was really interested in the whole process and the different types of agave, and how wild agave differed from cultivated agave. They are very generous with the sample pours, so definitely have something to eat before you get there 😵‍💫 My Spanish isn’t up to following that much information, so if yours is the same you’ll be happy to know that Rodrigo is really bilingual.

Absolutely amazing experience!!! - Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide was Rodriquez and driver was Eduardo. They went every extra mile to make this experience memorable. From explaining the history in detail to ensuring we are really enjoying the experience, he left nothing on chance. Distillery experience followed by mezcal tasting was great too We probably tasted 10 different variants and learnt a lot about the drink. Highly recommend!

Great trip out of Oaxaca - Fantastic day trip from Oaxaca! Hierve el Agua was beautiful and we loved being able to swim in the pools. Hike down was a bit too steep for us so we stuck to the elevated portion via the stairs. Still had amazing views of the falls! Mezcal distillery was very interesting, delicious samples and well priced. Our guide Rodrigo and our driver Eduardo were fantastic! Would recommend!

The tour and the guide... - The tour and the guide was great. For sure worth the drive. So much information was given. The hike then the dip in the water was so rewarding. Then the mezcal factory and agave farm was a great way to end the day.
