All Oaxaca Tours & Excursions in 2026

This tour (on 20 OCT 2026) was amazing and our guide, Daniel, was fantastic! Daniel picked us up in an immaculate and comfortable SUV, with cold drinks packed for us. He was friendly, warm, polite and pleasant to talk to. Daniel was also a wealth of knowledge, which enriched our experience immensely. We visited spectacular Monte Alban where Daniel’s extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the people made it all seem to come to life. We visited the small village of Arrazola where we watched artisans creating hand-made copal wood carvings painted with colors made from plants and stones. We had a delicious lunch at a traditional Mexican restaurant and then visited the astounding Arbol del Tule (Tule tree). After that, Daniel drove us to San Jeronimo Tlacochahuaya for a tour of the traditional methods of producing mezcal and of course a mezcal tasting too, at the El Rey De Matalan Distillery. Our last stop was the weaver’s village, Teotitlan del Valle, known for its traditional Zapotec and Mixtec handmade textiles. We were shown how the wool is dyed with colors made from herbs, flowers and cochineal beetles, then spun on wooden spinning wheels and hand loomed to create beautiful rugs and other textiles. This was an awesome tour and we highly recommend it!

Paul was so incredible. It was an amazing tour of the waterfall and pools but also of the botany in Oaxaca and how the indigenous people lived in the area. The hike back up IS strenuous and I gave out at one point but he stayed with me and made sure I got back up safely in my own time which was greatly appreciated. He also found us an incredible place for lunch. I cannot recommend his tour enough. Of course, hierve de agua itself is incredible too - especially getting to see the waterfall from the bottom and cooling off by swimmers by in the pools after the arduous trek back up!

This is a wonderful experience, it was a full day but it did not feel like "too" much because it was so well planned out with adequate stops and just the right amount of time at each stop. The tour guides did such a great job at keeping things fun and engaging everyone. By the end of the tour everyone in the group had become fast friends! I would say this is a must!

They should know that there are dogs and other animals on the property just in case you do not like animals. Be ready for a very fun experience with Miguel and Jose. Be prepared to make and taste some of the most delicious moles you have probably ever had. The entire staff on site is friendly, funny and very accommodating. My heart stays in Oaxaca because of this fantastic space and the AMAZING…experience!

Migel was probably the best tour guide I have ever encountered. He was funny, warm and extremely informative. I only wish we got to say a proper goodbye to him a give him a tip! (he stayed behind after our tour was over as he had another tour for group to guide).

Joscelyn, our guide, for the hike. She was excellent and knowledgeable. She was also personable and accommodating; offering to take photos. She never left the slower ones in the group. The place is absolutely beautiful. The petrified waterfalls are worth seeing and swimming in the mineral pools.

I did this tour at the start of day of the dead in Oaxaca. So the group was large. And not for one second did this tour drop below a 4.9/5 rating was the experience I had. The main tour guide, I forget his name, from Oaxaca with family roots in the industry (from memory) but with a Californian accent, is AMAZING! Probably one of the best tour guides on the planet. Charismatic, extremely knowledgeable, completely engaging with his tour. Always checking there are no left unheard questions. Coached us through the entire experience seamlessly. We had endless amounts of tastings of the most amazing top tier Mezcal. And learnt everything there is to know. It was extremely welcoming and probably one of the best tours Ive been on in my life. And Ive travelled ALOT! Ive already told a out 10 new friend visiting Oaxaca, they HAVE to go on this tour. It’s a must.

Chef Oswaldo had a sweet set up. The walk was short from the meet up place. He is knowledgeable about his culture and food. He was so patient with everyone. My 4 and 5 year old was able to join, and they did when they felt like it. It felt like cooking with family. He made everyone feel right at home. What we created, we cooked, and we ate. What a cool and unforgettable experience. My family said this was the best part about their trip to Oaxaca and I agree 100%
