All Oaxaca Tours & Excursions in 2026

We had an amazing day on this tour, and the tour guide Pavel was the reason it stood out. His knowledge went far beyond the sites themselves. He connected everything to the history, the people, and the languages and cultures that shaped the region, so every stop felt meaningful. The pacing was excellent, too. We had plenty of time to learn at each location and still wander and explore on our own without ever feeling rushed. Hierve el Agua was especially amazing to visit. The views are stunning and it is a perfect place for pictures. The restaurant stop was also a real highlight: course after course of different Oaxacan dishes, and a genuinely fun way to taste the region. Highly recommend this tour, especially if you get Pavel as your guide!

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!

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!
