It was a nice overview of the area. Visiting beach’s, scenic overlooks with a stop for shopping. Our guide was very helpful and courteous.
Our guide, Alex, was great. He is very knowledgeable about the area. We visited the lighthouse, an area high up on the cliffs where we could see our ship, the church, and several stores. The tour is heavy on shopping experiences. The mezcal tasting is part of the shopping experience as opposed to a sit down mezcal tasting event. Because we were less interested in this, the tour lasted two hours. Alex made the tour very interesting and is definitely a great guide.

The lighthouse story and the view were beautiful. The best part of the tour. Then we went to town for the mezcal tasting. We tasted 4 items. Once more customers came in the host ignored us. Then driver took us to specific shops that he probably gets a commission off of. After 4 shops we said “no more”. We can shop where we want on our own time. In one of the shops the power went out. Then the driver walked us to the local church in town. Beautiful but just a church. At that point he took us back to the ship. We understood the tour was for 3 hours but we only spent 90 minutes touring. Next time I would rent a taxi. To take us to town and we could do the “tour” on our own. Huatulco is a cute town but not much of interest to see or do.

This personal half-day tour of Huatulco was the best! The Huatulco Travel Experience organization was on top of every logistic and clearly communicated via WhatsApp and email on all particulars. We were met at the dock by an Experience member bearing a sign with our name -- nice! Our tour was led by Fermin who is excellent – it was like being with a long-time friend who is local to the area and proudly sharing and explaining all about the town, taking us to here-and-there, exactly as described in the tour write-up, in a very comfortable car. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, articulate, flexible and friendly. We cannot praise him enough – he made the tour so memorable. Our bottom line: we will use Huatulco Travel Experience, and Fermin if he is available, again and highly recommend them. Bravo – thanks for the wonderful memory!

We had a group of 8 and each of us loved this tour. Our guide Oscar and driver Herminio (?) were fantastic, fun, knowledgeable and helpful. We were able to adjust our tour to our wants and also took their advise on some things we did not know about. Mezcal tasting with Alex was great, cathedral beautiful and photo stops/stories were very interesting. Thanks for a great time!
