Review of Oaxaca’s 12-hour tour to Tule, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Teotitlán del Valle, and a mezcal distillery.

“We booked this tour based on glowing reviews and recommendations—and wow, it absolutely did not disappoint. Adriel is truly one of a kind. His English is California-perfect, and his pride and passion for Oaxaca—its culture, history, and food—are unmatched. He brings BIG, contagious energy to the experience. My husband and I half-joked that we wanted to adopt him 😂. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and has an amazing ability to read the group’s vibe, sharing as much (or as little) depth as you want. We had a thousand questions, and he answered every one with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine joy. The tour itself is fantastic—visiting several historical sites with detailed, thoughtful explanation...”

“Awesome tour! Started the day with breakfast (not included) at the meeting point! Andrea was the best tour guide we could wish for! She explained a lot in the van on the way to the stops, recommended the best food from Oaxaca (also had good vegetarian/vegan recommendations!). It was a fun experience together with the other people who did the tour (we were with 16 in total) and we also got to know eachother during the mezcal tasting. Buffet was really good and the stops were nice. The bus ride did not feel long at all, time flew by! Afterwards Andrea texted us all some recommendations to eat/do/visit in Oaxaca.…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 174 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $49

Review of Oaxaca’s early Hierve el Agua tour, with quiet morning views, a smoke-kitchen meal, Zapotec weaving, transport, costs, and tips.

“The tour was great - I liked the small group. The tour to the rug making place was fantastic - the art of their craft was beautiful and i was so interesting to learn about the process. The Hierve del Agua was interesting to see, but the hike we took with our tour guide was definitely way more intense than what we had planned on. I wished I would've skipped that part. The dinner was good - pretty typical Oaxacan food that was good, but nothing compared to the food I've been eating all week in Centro. The mezcal factory was great - interesting to learn about the artesenal mezcal…”

Hike Hierve el Agua from Oaxaca, swim at quiet waterfalls, enjoy local food, and taste mezcal with a family distiller on this 13-hour adventure.

“All information provided for the trip by Viator (pickup location, contact info, ect.) was incorrect. The WhatsApp number I texted asking for the departure location was to a different tour company, who gave me their own pickup location. So when I showed up before 6 am, there was no one there. I attempted to email the operator through Viator but there was no response. I went over to the tour company office later to try to figure something out as a replacement. They offered to replace the trip with a much cheaper bike tour. They also refused to refund me, saying it was on Viator not them. Avoid this tour…”

Review of Oaxaca’s Hierve el Agua day tour, with Mitla, mezcal, weaving, Tule Tree, practical tips, costs, timing, and honest drawbacks.

“Be prepared for a long day tour. However, I think you will be rewarded in the end. The tree is impressive, the mountain scenery is beautiful, Hierve el agua is breathtaking and unique. Yes the water is cold but go for it. A once in a lifetime experience. Although nowhere near as spectacular as Monte Alban, the archaeological site at Mitla beautiful and intriguing. The Palenque de mezcal was fascinating and will make you a feel good! The artisanal wool presentation and store was interesting and beautifully crafted.”

Our tour group was a total of 10 adults in a very comfy tour van with AC/ plenty of leg/arm space. Each stop on the tour was full of archaeological sites, beautiful natural sights, origins and history of Zapotec textile and design, and a nice end with an intro of how Mezcal is made/ taste. We had an amazing time, our tour group was awesome and made great connections throughout day, and cannot express our gratitude for our tour…”

As we were quick with the rest of the trip, we asked Abraham to stop at Arbol de tule for 10min which he also did. Great flexing and very friendly”
