Amazingly organized full...

Amazingly organized full day. Our tour had 4 Spanish speakers and us 2 English speakers and our guide did an excellent job switching back and forth for all of us, all very understandably.

Viator and tour companies need to lift their game in communication to

Terrible communication by Viator and Enjoy Oaxaca tour company. Ok, so I booked about 5 pm the night before, because Viator showed there was availability ! It can be tricky for some to navigate these websites & I’m potentially one of them. Any company using a third party needs to be more vigilant and Viator should be as well for taking last minute bookings. At 6.30 am the next morning I still hadn’t received a message via WhatsApp from Enjoy Oaxaca, so tried calling and left numerous voice messages, sent a heap of messages via WhatsApp and got an apologetic AI conversation. Waited an hour and a half at pickup, whilst continuing messaging, finally at 9am the office called, the gentleman was apologetic, but naturally we were too late, the bus had already left. He offered choices, which were, we could go on a different tour the next day, take the same tour 2 days later or be given a refund. Chose refund, because we were leaving next day, the refund process will have to go back through Viator & take up to ten days. Be careful booking through a third party, there can be hiccups. Am sure Enjoy Oaxaca are a fantastic company to book tours with, their reviews are great, this is why I booked. When googling tours, all these third party companies come up first and it can be quite confusing. Don’t forget to try booking directly as well.

Fascinating Tours

It was a fascinating tour, they arrived on time for us, and were very friendly. Our Guide Edelmira told us many stories, she made it very entertaining and fun. They took us to many places with all the explanations. We had an incredible time. Hope to see them soon, all our family loved it.

Jam Packed Day in Oaxaca

The tour was jam packed. We were a group of 4 (35-60) and enjoyed every single stop-full of knowledge, photo ops and enjoyment. Our guide Ede was so nice, knowledgeable and eager to share that knowledge with us. The only fault I would find with the tour is that we felt very rushed at every stop. If tour was a couple hours longer or one stop shorter, might help. But definitely recommended to friends visiting Oaxaca!

A really great trip outside the city of Oaxaca

I really enjoyed the day trip outside the city of Oaxaca. We visited the petrified waterfall which was very cool to see, learning about how they dye and make yarn from sheep’s wool to make the beautiful rugs and other things at the textile experience was interesting, I actually thought they were very recently priced. The buffet lunch place was delicious and the countryside drive was great. Everything about the trip was awesome so yes DO IT. Our guide did a fantastic job explaining everything and the montezuma cypress tree crazy amazing.

Highly recommend this...

Highly recommend this tour that takes you outside city center to see and learn about Oaxaca. Edi is very knowledgeable and switched between English and Spanish to accommodate everyone. You have to listen carefully because she has a subtle sense of humor that brings a smile to your face. She did not rush us and was extremely patient with all our questions. She gave clear instructions and communicated each step of the way. Edi is very thoughtful and made sure we did not hit our heads on low clearance and gave us a hand if we needed help on the steps. She is always ready to take your picture if needed. Christian, our driver, kept us safe and was ready with our transportation when needed. He helped the women off the van and was very professional. Edi and Christian did everything possible to make our day enjoyable and ensure we were all taken care of as needed. The places we saw are amazing and the day was beautiful.

Wow! What a tour!

This all day long tour is the best! You see all of the sites in one day. We were not at any one place for more than an hour / hour and a half, but that seemed the like the right time for me. BRING Water and maybe a snack. You get to leave your stuff on the bus, so don't worry about over packing. I found the reservation process confusing because my hotel wasn't listed, but I was contacted the night before and gave them my hotel. They arrived just on time! Super simple. Wear tennis shoes or hiking boots. I saw people in sandals who struggled at Hierve el Agua. We loved it all -- and I'm 60.

Great tour!

Great way to see several important sites and towns in one day! We had a 6 person group ranging in ages from 40s to 60s. Our guide Edelmira was very knowledgeable and very patient with the oldest in our group. If you have mobility issues this is not for you. There is a lot of walking throughout the tour and Hierve El Agua even has a moderate hike with over 100 stairs.

Operator response

Thank you! Edelmira will be very happy to read this. We pride ourselves on being patient and accommodating so everyone, regardless of age, can enjoy the beauty of Hierve el Agua. Best regards!
