This tour is worth it! Very organized and professional communication. Antonio is a knowledgeable and experienced guide. I was impressed with his back to back translations from Spanish to English. This tour covered a lot of territory in Oaxaca for our short weekend trip.
Make sure to bring sunscreen and water, especially if you choose to hike. Our guide was great, very knowledgeable.
It can get very hot out at Mitla and Hierve el Agua. Wear hats and take plenty of water. The tour was amazing! Very educational, interesting and beautiful!
A long day but very pleasant. The pick up went smoothly, and the guide was charming, friendly, and well-informed. The time at the sites was just right, as was the time on our own. Altogether a fascinating tour that was well worth taking
Very good value for my neu and a great way to spend the day. Comfortable transportation, very good guide. Both Hierva del Agua and Mitla are quite interesting and rhe textile and mezcal factory too. Tule tree is ok, its on the way, but a quick stop
Tour was prompt and the driver was excellent. You see a lot but it is obviously very touristy. Overall a good time.
