Wonderful and memorable! A must do Puerto Escondido! - An incredible visit in Puerto Escondido, which I highly recommend. It's a fun experience, but also very interesting and informative, which I really enjoyed! I appreciate the clear and pleasant explanations of our excellent guide Jazmín, who, in addition to being extremely warm and friendly, allowed us to know, value and appreciate this agave elixir in a different way! I loved that they continue to carry out a traditional-artisanal production process, and the respect and pride they show for it. Don't worry if you are a mezcal amateur or if you don't consume a lot of alcohol like me, the team will help you step by step to taste it correctly, and perhaps it will awaken in you, as it did in me, a taste and love that you didn't know about for mezcal. ! Many thanks to the entire team for this memorable experience. Keep going!!

Amazing tour and tasting of authentic artisanal mezcals - Excellent visit. There were three of us with the guide, Jasmine. All the explanations are very clear and the visit is extremely interesting, I would even say necessary before you can really appreciate mezcal at its true value. The tasting takes place in a very family atmosphere, like an aperitif with friends if I dare say so. To be completely honest, I had already tasted mezcal before without really liking it. But it was during this tasting that I was able to taste very good mezcal and even ask for more. I highly recommend it, it’s a must.

Perfect Experience! Great Mezcal and Outstanding Tour Guides! - Absolute MUST if visiting Oaxaca! The mezcal was absolutely outstanding and our tour guides Rodolfo and Tamara were so fantastic. Transformed the tour from just a touristy visit to a truly memorable and fun time! Will absolutely go again when back in the area and cannot recommend this tour enough! Request Rodolfo and Tamara for an exceptional experience and be sure to snag a bottle (or 3) of RuuPiiil mezcal for the beach later! Salud y hasta la cruz! :)

Comfortable, Fun, and Educational - This tour was awesome! I learned a lot about the history, making, and cultural significance of Mezcal. Our guides, Rodolfo and Tamara made the experience comfortable, fun, and educational! We tasted I think 10? unique mezcals. They all rated a little differently on the strong/smoky/sweet/fruity rating. Our tour with Ruu Piiil - which has been in the same family for generations - offered some tastings of mezcal only available in the area. Mezcal, much like champagne, can only be labeled as such when it is produced in a certain region. We were provided with a rating chart for our own use to help us better distinguish the flavor, discuss the mezcals, and keep track of our favorites. My personal favorite was the Especial! During the tour of the distillery, we were offered the opportunity to use some of the traditional tools to break up the agave plant. We were able to taste the agave/mezcal at different stages in the process which was pretty cool and helped inform the rest of the tasting. Learning the more authentic ways to drink mezcal, the traditional pairings, and the lore behind the common “cheers” special to mezcal has made me excited to pass that knowledge on to my friends and family back home! Our guide Rodolfo was a delight! He was a great teacher and companion for the tour! Very knowledgeable, personable, and easy to talk to. He was able to match our energy and be fun while also staying professional and informative. He was happy to answer our questions and offer his insight on both the mezcal and the area overall. Tamara was friendly, sweet, and made sure we were all comfortable and taken care of. There were fans available - both electric and handheld. She was the one pouring the mezcal and bringing our pairings like the sal de gusano, salt, citrus, nuts, etc. Tamara also made the guacamole for the table which - just as an aside - was absolutely delicious! We were picked up and dropped off at the place we are staying in Puerto Escondido. It was very nice not having to worry about transportation - especially after the tour. My group booked online ahead of time for our friend’s birthday. Their communication following the booking was enthusiastic and consistent which helped us relax and get excited for the tour. All of this made it even easier to have fun and enjoy the experience. A delightful surprise to me was the lack of hangover! Our guide said that because of the purity of the mezcal and its distillation, our bodies are able to process the alcohol in it more easily than in other drinks. I was skeptical at first but still felt great the next day! I am new to drinking mezcal and this tour was perfect for me. I absolutely recommend the experience!

Great time and lovely setting - Would recommend to everyone visiting Puerto Escondido who wants to learn a little about mezcal after a morning at the beach. The entire team was incredible and we had a hard time deciding which of the 10 mezcals we tried was our favorite. We booked last minute on our last day in town and Antoine and Jazmin kindly made quick adjustments so we could make it. Perfect afternoon.
