Don’t miss this tour!!! - My boyfriend and I were the only two on this tour and it was amazing! Our guide was Clemente and Francisco was our driver. Our first stop was the black pottery which was family owned and we were shown how the pieces were made. Our next stop was the alebrijes and the owner looks up your birthday to tell you what what your spirit animals are. The next stop was the lady weavers and we learned how they used different colors and set their loom to make different patterns. After that we went to a store that sold embroidered shirts which can take up to 8 months to make just one shirt. Our last stop was a huge Mercado that we almost got lost in because it was enormous! You have the option to purchase items at each stop but you are not pressured to do so. The woven items and Mercado are cash only but the other 3 stops will take credit cards. This was a great experience to get outside Oaxaca city and learn about the artisans and their skills . We would 100% recommend this tour.

Watching the artists at work! - This tour gave an intimate and in-depth experience with three types of Oaxacan crafts. We watched hands-on creation of Black Clay Pottery, Alebrije Wood Carvings and Back-Strap Weaving. I can tell my friends all about the artists who actually created the little gifts I brought back to them.

Incredible morning of art - We were unsure what to expect from this three village tour, but our day exceeded expectations! We traveled to three villages to see how black pottery, alejibres, and back strap looming are all made-- and what an incredible, in depth look at these artisan crafts we saw. Truly a wonderful way to get out of the city and into the surrounding villages to learn about the rich history of these artists. Daniel, our tour guide, was wonderful as well-- just the right amount of information sharing and great personality. We didn't feel any pressure to buy anything (though we did-- how could you resist these beautiful works of art!?) and it didn't feel like a schlocky tour at all. definitely recommend.

Top Artisans - Tour takes you to three of the best artisans in alebrijes, back-strap weaving, and barro negro. Sites are off the beaten track, but judging by the awards these artists have received they are not unknown to collectors and high-end vendors. Guide was very friendly and easy to talk with. Same with the artists and staff in the studios. They show you everything about their work process and leave you alone to browse the pieces offered for sale.

Wonderful way to see local artisans at work. - The local company were not great with communication. The tour itself was lovely and the guide and driver excellent. Fantastic to see local artisans. Excellent quality products. Good to see the countryside around Oaxaca too.

Tour okay, but will try again after back to more 'normal' times! - Seeing the very rustic way they make Mezcal was super interesting and the guide was well informed about the process. I also very much enjoyed the tour of the family run alebrijas business. I felt this was thorough enough to get a good understanding of the process involved as well as all the zapotecan symbols used in the painting of these beautiful pieces of art! There were a couple of spots that unfortunately just felt like a cash grab although when I asked to see a little more of the process they were somewhat accommodating, so felt a little better about it. I did think that we were going to see how they make the berro negro that Oaxaca is famous for? But maybe this tour like many others right now have had to alter due to covid? I would recommend to friends but only after it has come back to more 'normal'. The tour guide was well informed and was helpful in answering questions, etc.
