Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca

We booked the Mezcal Tour Journey with Ramy, which lasted 4.5 hours. We were picked up in Oaxaca, and on the way to the palenque, we were already given lots of interesting information about the history of mezcal. At the distillery, we learned more about the production process, the different types of mezcal, and what makes each one unique. Afterwards, Adriana took us on a wagon ride through the agave fields to a pulquería, where we got to try pulque as well. Along the way, we also enjoyed a typical Oaxacan specialty: memelas. At the end, we had the chance to taste 10 different mezcals. All in all, it was a wonderful and very informative day. Highly recommended!

Our experience was very fun and informative! Ramy was a great guide and made the mezcal demonstration and tasting very enjoyable. Pickup and drop off was also very convenient, especially after the generous amount of Mezcal they let you sample. Definitely worth the price!

Great day spent learning about mezcal with Ramy!! Lots of mezcal tasting and learnings (great to have English speaking guides as well)! Thank you!

Omg, what a fantastic tour it was!!! Four of us had this tour yesterday with Ramy. The pickup was on time and off we went to the distillery. On the way Ramy explained us a lot about not only mezcal but the history of Oaxaca and the area. When we arrived at the distillery, Ramy took his time to explain the whole process and gave us the opportunity to try ourselves as mezcal masters (we got to chop up the pinas) ;-). Afterwards we had a tour of the fields im a cool barrel vehicle and after that we got to try the mezcals. Now I’m absolutely not an expert and wasn’t even sure at first that i wanted to to this tour. But there wasn’t a moment where i regretted it!!! Informative and fantastic tour!!! Do not hesitate, it’s totally worth the money!!! Just do it and ask for Ramy if you can;-)!!!

It was very educational we had no idea the process to make ancestral mezcal. Our guide was amazing so knowledgeable. It was perfect

Excellent tour and Ramy was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and of Mezcal. I was not expecting to enjoy the tour as much as I did! You have ample opportunity to try various beverages or to not if you don't want to. Very low pressure tour that is just the right amount of time. I would recommend to a wide variety of people. The surrounding area is gorgeous and I would have been happy just taking in the scenery! Ramy thank you for a nice day, if you are even slightly interested do yourself a favor and book this tour you won't regret it!!!!

Our Guide was super. He is a former Spainish professor and you can tell his desire to educate comes naturally as he wanted you to learn all about Mexcal. We had a great time and would fully recommend this tour.

Our tour guide Ramy is well versed in the history, techniques, details of the mescal process from plant to bottling. He depth of knowledge and personality made the day! I loved it all - from the fields where he explained the difference between the types of agave all the way to our tasting at the end of the tour. It was perfect, thanks to him.

We recently took a mezcal tour with Mezcal Tour Experience, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our guide, Ramy, was exceptional—extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about mezcal and the local culture. The tour was incredibly educational, and we learned so much about the production process, traditions, and history behind mezcal. What really set this experience apart was how Ramy went beyond our expectations. In addition to the tastings and distillery visit, he took us to a local market to try authentic goat meat tacos, which was such a unique and delicious addition to the day. It felt immersive and personal rather than just a standard tour. I highly recommend Mezcal Tour Experience to anyone looking for a meaningful, authentic, and memorable mezcal experience. Thank you, Ramy, for an unforgettable day! If you are looking for an educational tour and not just a standard tour then this one is the best you can find in Oaxaca. There a couple of them but Ramy is a well-recognized host in Oaxaca due to his professionalism, education and experience. He also holds a master’s degree in education from the United States—which truly shows in the way he explains and structures the tour. He has a natural ability to make complex information clear, interesting, and memorable. Ramy truly goes the extra mile to make it special.

One of us took the tour in English and a few of us in Spanish. The host/drivers do not have any direct or exclusive relationship to the distilleries. One can stop by those distilleries by the highway and probably get a tour with samples for way less or who knows, maybe even for free if you show interest in buying a bottle of mezcal. We saw other tourists doing this. The first distillery tour felt rushed and had no structure (nor in English or Spanish). I had experience myself with many tequila tours so I was expecting a deep dive and professional mezcal tour since we were a small group and it was the main focus of the whole trip. Still, I had to push hard to get all details and make sense of the information in a coherent way. Finally the host/driver had no time management so we ended up spending way more time in total that messed up with our late afternoon plans. I’m talking about 2-3 hrs more than stated in the description. There was a lot of waiting, wondering around and a visit to a random food market to eat (completely unplanned). We were sad and disappointed of this tour :/
