Rebecca_P, Jul 2026

An Unforgettable Experience with Wonderful People

We had an amazing experience with this tour company! The team was incredibly personable, friendly, and made us feel welcome from the very beginning. They went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful time, and their knowledge and enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. Every detail was well organized, and it was clear they genuinely cared about providing a memorable experience. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing, and exceptional tour!

Paint your Alebrije with the Jimenez family.

Delna_S, Jul 2026

Learning Alebrijes from the Family Who Lives the Tradition

We had such a wonderful morning with the Jimenez family. If you spend any time in Oaxaca or know the history of alebrijes, you quickly realize you’re learning from the descendants of the original artists who helped shape this incredible art form. What impressed us most is that they don’t gatekeep the tradition, they generously share its history, teach the techniques, and encourage everyone to create something uniquely their own. Our kids were completely engaged from start to finish, and watching them paint while learning about the cultural significance behind the art made the experience even more meaningful. Cesar was an excellent host and translator, making everyone feel welcome and ensuring nothing was lost in translation. He brought us water, drinks and a light snack. Coordination was very easy. Just 30 minutes from Oaxaca City, this is a relaxing and memorable way to spend a few hours. We left with beautiful pieces we painted ourselves, a much deeper appreciation for alebrijes, and memories we’ll keep for years. Highly recommended.

Oaxacan Vegetarian Cooking Class

Karen_K, Jun 2026

Fantastic Experience for Vegetarians

This is a brilliant way to learn how to cook a traditional Oaxacan meal with a vegetarian twist. Victor made us feel included, and happily shared his knowledge -: from going to the local market to select ingredients, to making and eating a wonderful meal including mole, rice, guacamole, tortillas, empanadas and fruit. Drinks included traditional chocolate, mezcal and Jamaica juice. Highly recommended.

Monte Alban Guided Half Day Tour

Linda_G, Jun 2026

You will meet in center...

You will meet in center of Oaxaca and travel in bus to Monte Albán. Our guide (Miguel) did such a good job of making the ruins come to life by providing more context and even highlighting additional artifacts with use of magazines. We would never have gotten as much from our tour without Miguel's expertise. We really enjoyed his approach! We had about 45min of "free time" after the guided tour finished to look at the ruins in closer detail and visit the indoor museum. Go early because it will be hot! Bring water. There is a small restaurant along with the museum for drinks and snacks. We then traveled back to the city center on the bus.

Ruta mágica de las artesanías

Ailish_D, May 2026

10/10 tour!

This was an exceptional tour! My friend and I were the only people who booked on so we ended up getting a private tour (we were very impressed that they didn’t cancel!) Francisco was an incredible and very attentive guide! He answered all of our questions, offered to adapt the tour to best suit our preferences and gave us time to explore each of the workshops ourselves. We really appreciated the time he spent in the market with us highlighting different local foods - my friend loved the enchilada he recommended! All of the workshops we visited were amazing, and we were grateful to all of the artisans for sharing their skills and expertise with us. We’re backpacking for a few months with limited bag space/budget so we took the tour to learn more about the local artistic traditions rather than to buy souvenirs from the workshops (as much as we would have loved to!). We were initially a little nervous when we were the only two who showed up that we might seem rude if we didn’t make purchases, but we needn’t have worried as there was absolutely no pressure to buy from any of the workshops. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Best Tour!

This was the best tour! A wonderful experience seeing all of the amazing sights! Miguel was an incredible guide as he was very knowledgeable and patient, we could not have asked for better, make sure you ask for him! A full day but time flew by as the experiences unfolded. I especially enjoyed Monte Alban! When visiting Oaxaca I highly recommend this tour with Miguel, you will have an opportunity to see and experience some of the best Oaxaca has to offer! Thanks for a wonderful day Miguel.

Private Tour to Monte Alban Half Day

gtalbott3, May 2026

Perfect putting to Monte Alban

Monte Alban is spectacular! We chose a private tour because the history of the site is complicated and wanted a more in-depth guide experience to better understand the history and archeology of the site. Our guide Fernando was outstanding and he was expert in all things Monte Alban. He was patient with all of our questions and led a well paced tour based on our interests. Pickup at our private accommodations was on time and he was an excellent guide/driver with perfect English skills and great preteip communication via the app. This was one of the highlights of our trip. General advice- go early in the morning before it gets too hot, take water and wear sturdy shoes.

AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local.

Sarah_P, Apr 2026

Do this tour BEFORE you do you anything else in Oaxaca! 😊

Do not hesitate to book this tour early in your stay in Oaxaca! I was quite overwhelmed when I first walked around Oaxaca on my own. There were so many food options, and quite a few vendors selling the same things. This walking tour definitely gave me the confidence to know what and where to find foods I wanted to try (and didn't even know i wanted to try! I was introduced to things I've never even heard of). The 6 hour time span may seem a little daunting, but it flies by so quick and you won't even notice the time. We were able to try different drinks, snacks, fruits, types of meals, and dessert. Definitely don't eat before hand so you can experience the tour to it's fullest!

Horseback Riding Tour to Natural Hot Springs in Puerto Escondido

Rosario_M, Mar 2026

Best Horseback Riding

An extraordinary experience. Make sure you wear sunblock and if you forget a hat, they have some there you can use. Make sure you pack water and snacks because none is provided. Be aware that if you dye your hair and you dip your head in the water it does strip your color. It also tarnishes some silver. My stainless steel & gold did fine tho.

Private Historic City Tour + Street Food of Oaxaca - Best Rated

Thomas_G, Jan 2026

Don’t Miss this Culinary Odyssey!

I truly found this food tour was excellent! Perhaps the best of this type I ever participated in. Papi was terrific - knowledgeable, interesting accessible and patient. He brought me to many wonderful food stations and I sampled a wide variety of delicious Mexican food. He also shared important information about the history, culture and trends in Oaxaca throughout our time together. I highly recommend him and this tour to all travelers seeking Oaxaca culinary experiences (and much more…)

Transfer Huatulco Airport to Huatulco Hotels

IngridBrand, Nov 2025

Transportation as Promised

Our flight arrived early - but by the time we collected our luggage and got through customs - our driver was waiting with a sign with our name on it. We were 4 adults with 5 pieces of luggage. Van was as promised and clean and comfortable. Our driver even stopped at a local gas station store so I could pick up some beers. Driver was a great driver and got us to our location in a timely manner. Would highly recommend

Imperio Monte Albán, Ex Convento de Cuilapan y Artesanías locales

Trevor_L, Sep 2025

Lovely, informative tour...

Lovely, informative tour that makes a great day trip from Oaxaca. We left promptly at 8:30 and returned to Oaxaca City a bit after 5 pm. We particularly loved Monte Alban and the pottery demonstration. Lunch was ~300 pesos apiece (buffet + one beer) + Monte Alban/monastery entrances (175 pesos apiece) + tip.
