Really nice tour to Hierve El Agua been. Otherwise, looked at the famous tulle tree and a mezcal factory. Was really interesting and informative
Good day, we are glad to hear that you enjoyed your tour to Hierve el Agua. We hope to have you back for another adventure in Oaxaca.
Great tour. LONG day so make sure you are rested and fortified with a good breakfast. Terrific guide!

This tour is a great choise to see some of the sights around Oaxaca of you're short on time or don't have transportation. The destinations were very enjoyable. The entrance tickets were pair for, just had to pay for the Oaxacan buffet for lunch. The tour guide had to repeat the information in Spanish and English, which was impressive, but he seemed quite rushed and often did not translate some of the information spoken in one language. But of your focus it transport to these places to experience them, it's a great affordable option.
Hello, we appreciate your valuable comment. Unfortunately, since it is a shared tour, it is conducted in Spanish and English, which sometimes makes you feel that it is rushed. If anyone is interested in a pure tour in English, we have private services which adjust to your interest and time.
Take this tour with them and it was very good the attention and visiting times at each site. Our Pilar guide was very attentive and talked a lot about the customs of Oaxaca making the trip very entertaining and she and Uriel the driver were always attentive and gave us very good recommendations. The buffet that we were taken to was great moles and food in general
¡Gracias por elegirnos! Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste del tour. Nos encanta saber que nuestras recomendaciones fueron útiles y que los tiempos de visita estuvieron a la altura de tus expectativas. ¡Esperamos tener el placer de acompañarte en futuras aventuras!
For starters I think the visit to the bakery is completely over and is destined to end up paying for a few loaves. The view to the looms could also have been shortened and added that time and that of the bakery to boil the water since once there (for us it was the best of the excursion) they leave you 1h and 15 minutes, insufficient time to enjoy such natural wonder. Finally, we were unlucky to be put in a Guide who hurried us all the time. The visit to Mitla was very quick, and we did not have time to see the place quietly. The meal time was also scarce, even though we had not finished eating the guide began to hurry us to pay and put us on the bus to visit the mezcal factory in which we were a long hour, To finish I will say that we were asked 100 pesos to go to the boil water when on the ticket put 50 pesos. The entrance fee to Mitla was 95 pesos and all the couples on the bus paid with a 200 ticket and the Guide did not give anyone back their remaining 10 pesos, which I found quite ugly and Pro. Finally, I will say that the explanations in the guide were very quick and unclear, with zero enthusiasm.
Hola, buen dia antes que nada agradecemos nos haga llegar su inconformidad, atendiendo a su comentario solo quisieramos aclarar Hacemos una parada a panaderia tradicional de tlacolula, ya que al salir temprano muchas veces nuestros clientes no les da tiempo desayunar y esta parada es para quienes quieran comprar pan,chocolate y tamales (nada es obligatorio), al contratar el tour se mencionan los lugares a visitar en el caso de teotitlán del valle de los telares, y los tiempos en cada punto estan establecidos por lo tanto el guia se los tiene que ir marcando, si en otra ocasión quisieran visitar mas tiempo Hierve el agua y no visitar mas lugares contamos con servicios privados, las entradas a pagar no entiendo si usted dice que pago $100, cuando en esta plataforma ya esta incluida la entrada Por ultimo me gustaria que me indicará aqui a nombre de quien hizo su reservación y cuando viajo para verificar efecticamente lo compro por este medio con nosotros, ya que el costo de aqui ya incluye las entradas y si las demas personas tenian algun tema con sus cambios nos lo hubieran hecho saber, inclusive algunas veces si nuestros clientes no llevan efectivo con gusto se les ah apoyado.
Visiting Oaxaca from Colombia we did two tours with this agency, each of a day (Monte Albán / Mitla + Hierve el Agua) and had a spectacular time 💖 Highly recommended! We were picked up at our hotel very punctual, the guides and the driver were very friendly, gave us very good information, managed the perfect itinerary so that we could enjoy each place to the fullest and attended to our questions and needs all the time 🙏🏻 Highly recommended if you want to know very interesting and beautiful bits of the great Oaxaca in the beautiful Mexican land 🇲🇽 It is very worth the investment! 👍🏻 Thanks to all the staff for these beautiful experiences 💜
