This was a loooong day, but having an air conditioned van to be chauffeured in was clutch. I was a solo female who only spoke English, and while our guide Silver mostly spoke Spanish, it was no biggie. We had a great group (mostly Californians, they love Mexico!), and 2 sisters with their mom. The only activity included was Tule, so you’re basically just paying for transportation. Which was fine, cuz honestly the roads are a pita out by Hierve de Agua (high clearance is a plus), but just carry a bunch of pesos if you wanna buy stuff. Of course cards are accepted at the spots you stop at in Teotitlán. The mezcal stop was awesome too, seeing the equipment, fire pit & all the different plants, and we had a great guide. Of course ended up
buying a small bottle to take back home made in the clay pots. No veo por que no! I would probably take this your again, but hopefully the guide will know a bit more English. Muchas gracias!

Thank you so much, Erika! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time exploring the Oaxacan wilds with us and enjoyed the comfortable ride, the mezcal experience, and your small-batch clay pot mezcal souvenir!
We really appreciate your constructive feedback regarding language skills. We are constantly working with our local guides to improve their English proficiency so we can provide an even better experience for our English-speaking solo travelers. Thank you also for sharing that helpful tip about bringing cash for local vendors!
It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’d love to welcome you back to Oaxaca anytime. ¡Muchas gracias!

Great tour in the whole, but beware of the hidden costs
The tour was fun-packed and informative without a dull moment. Even though we were taken to some workshops with the idea that tourists would spend money, such as the agave/quartz place, the mezcal retail, the explanations of what Agave can produce and how mezcal is produced is detailed and fascinating, so a lot has been learned along the way. The buffet lunch was also better than expected, as the food was reasonably tasty. The only reason for giving it 9/10 is because there seemed to be costs that were imposed on us without us knowing. For example, the entry fee to Hierve el Agua was 50pesos, but the guide asked for 120. If you hadn't paid attention, you would know the extra you were paying for. When questioned, the guide said the extra was for the tolls etc, but that cost wasn't made explicit, ad I wondered why this cost was borne by the customers. Despite that it wasn't a lot of money, the lack of transparency had made me uncomfortable, and I wondered what hidden costs there had been, such as the entry fees to archeological site.

Thank you for your feedback, Fiona! We are glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and the buffet, and that you learned so much about our local mezcal and agave traditions.
We completely understand that the entrance fees might have seemed confusing, and we regret any lack of clarity at the site. To provide full transparency:
Tolls and Hierve el Agua entrance fees:
Hierve el Agua is managed by local indigenous communities (under the "uses and customs" system). To reach the site, a community access fee must be paid at the first checkpoint (where local authorities collect payment directly per person without issuing printed tickets), in addition to the site's own entrance fee (where physical tickets are issued). Agencies that charge this total amount are simply combining these mandatory local community fees.
Mitla entrance fees: Official fees for government archaeological sites like Mitla vary by nationality: 105 MXN for Mexican citizens and 210 MXN for international visitors (rates regulated by INAH and publicly verifiable online).
We sincerely value your feedback, as it helps us remind our guides to explain how these community charges work in greater detail and well in advance. We hope to welcome you back to Oaxaca!

Great tour to see Hierve el Agua and Mescal making
Excellent experience. It was fun and most importantly we felt safe. There was even an additional stop at the end to a Mexican bakery. This is a must do tour if you are in or around Oaxaca, Mexico. It takes an entire day. We visited a huge tree - one of the biggest in the world, a traditional rug making home business showing the use of natural dyes, a traditional chocolate making business with free samples, a great restaurant for lunch, the Hierve el Agua - the petrified waterfall, and a Mescal factory with free samples.

At Hierve el Agua you can tour the pools and waterfalls on horseback for an extra cost that is worth it. And you have time on the tour

Varied activities - long tour
The places we visited were amazing. The buffet had multiple options for all type of diets. Warning it is a very long tour - full day. Started around 9am, arrived to the hotel almost 12 hours later. We recommend it.
