Amazing time
Rebecca_B, October 2026
An amazing all encompassing experience! If you have limited time in Oaxaca, or if you’re there for a few days, you have to do this tour. It has a little bit of everything for everyone, and seeing the Mitla archaeological site was super cool. The pools at hierve del agua were a bit cool in October but still manageable. Kevin was also a really great tour guide. 10/10 would recommend!

Peter_B, October 2026
We traveled around 20% of Oaxaca and had a wonderful time seeing the sights with Kevin and Angel! We fortunately saw the tule tree during a festival in which we got to touch the tree, which was cool. Definitely recommend the tour!! The buffet was good too!

If I could give this 6/5 I would! Kevin's amazing
Arun_V, October 2026
This is an example of how a tour should be run - everything happened as described, on time and clearly explained along the way. Kevin made sure the group bonded as one cohesive unit we had a great time and the little surprises and touches Kevin layered on throughout the day was Great! Book this if you want to go to these Oaxacan sites!

Wonderful way to see so...
Chris_C, October 2026
Wonderful way to see so much of outside of Oaxaca! Each part of the tour had a very knowledgeable tour guide that brought new energy to the tour group. Mitla and Hierve el Agua are very special places and should not be missed on a visit to Oaxaca.

Outstanding but exhausting Day Trip from Oaxaca City
djemcee, September 2026
Our guide Adriel was incredible, outstanding, excellent, and he spoke English perfectly with a California accent. He made everyone feel welcomed (in 2 languages)! Even though it was a very long day, it's a very enjoyable trip and every stop was worthwhile. We learned, we laughed, and we really appreciate that they give you 2 hours at Hierve El Agua. We hiked the entire 3 km trail to the bottom of the petrified falls, about 1.25 hours. Only 3 out of 13 people in our group did the big hike, you need to be in good condition. The mezcal distillery tour at the end of the day was another highlight. We did a different mezcal tasting at another vendor, and we thought this one was superior. We have done tours like this all over the world and I would rate this in the top three. We booked it through Costco Travel and Viator.
