Miguel was a fantastic guide. His English is great, and he has a wonderful sense of humor. Besides that, the four experiences were all unique. We couldn't decide which we liked best.

Caroline_G, Oct 2025

Lots of History at a slow pace.

This seems like a long day but it's great for people who don't want to do much climbing but want to hear about the history of the area. The textile shop was very informative and there was no pressure to buy. Mitla was in architectural historic restoration that was mostly on flat ground. We had time for a lunch that had various options for a nominal fee. The mezcal distillery was interesting and again no hard sell to buy anything. The tule tree was in a small town that was surrounded by a church and a beautiful garden area. Overall there's a lot packed in to this stretched out day but if you only have a short period of time it's a good overview of the city of Oaxaca surrounding area

Excellent tour!

Clay drove us directly to the waterfall site. Beautiful mountains all around. The two hours he allowed there were just right amount of time to take the hike to the foot of the fall and take a dip in the pool. Then lunch at a small place close to the Falls was excellent. The weaving demo was fascinating on how they made the dyes and spun the wall and woven the rugs. On the way back, he stopped at the Tule tree on our request since we were the only two on the tour. Excellent tour.
