Rock is a journey to the origin. A whisper of Oaxacan land that invites you to walk among ancient caves, where time left traces in stone and silence. It's learning to look at maguey as living history. Recognize your ways, your secrets, your patience. It is the fire lit under the ground, the slow transformation of the agave into a ritual that smells of smoke, tradition, waiting. A bake that you don't just observe... feels. It's the first sip of mezcal: deep, honest, ancestral. A language that reveals itself on the palate and connects with something older than words. And at the end, the table. An author's dinner that seeks not to impress, but to narrate. Every dish, a story. Every taste, a territory. Rock is not a tour. It's a return to earth. To the fire. To the essentials.

What are people saying about Oaxaca

Eileen_V, Nov 2026

A must

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!

Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes

Wow! Amazing experience

Simply the best experience I have ever done. It made our time in Oaxaca unforgettable. The kindest family, a well organised experience, incredible food and skills learnt for life. Thank you so so much. If youre thinking of booking this - please do. You will not regret it.

Private Tour: Monte Albán, Hierve el Agua, Teotitlán and Mezcal

Christine_O, Nov 2026

Great tour visiting the main sites in Oaxaca in one day!

Fantastic experience touring the main sites of Oaxaca. Our guide Soledad is very knowledgeable and explained the history of Monte Albán with great detail. She accommodated our preferences and allowed time to go at our own pace. We also visited a local tapestry workshop, the beautiful Hierve del Agua and Mezcal tasting and fitted in a great lunch (and probably some of the best local food we had while in Mexico). Overall a great tour and one not to miss if you’re visiting Oaxaca city and want to experience the surrounding sites with limited time.

Monte Alban Guided Half Day Tour

Sebastian_L, Nov 2026

The best tour ever!

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).

Monte Alban Full Experience for 3 Hours with Admission Included

Irene_M, Nov 2026

Monte Albán is a must-see...

Monte Albán is a must-see for anyone travelling to Oaxaca and our guide Fernando was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Israel, our driver, also did an amazing job getting us smoothly and safely to the site. Although at first we were wondering why we were spending so much time in front of Tomb 7 when there was not much to see, Fernando's explanation made it clear that it was very important and we are very grateful for his suggestion to visit the Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca as we thought it was fantastic. l would definitely book this tour again!

Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day

Alberto_G, Nov 2026

Once in a lifetime

Pavel and Israel were awesome. Pavel, the main guide was very knowledgeable and experience, he knew exactly where to take us and at the right times. There was a small setback, but he was able to adjust accordingly and keep us on track. The tour was great, each location was different and each location provided a unique experience. The 7 course meal and 2 my drinks were very unique and well worth the money. Israel the driver kept us safe and was nice to make small talk with. Would definitely book with Zapotecos again, and already planning it.

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.

Vacation

It was a long day, but absolutely worth it! There were so many activities, and we truly enjoyed the entire experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Our tour guide, Uriel, was excellent! He spoke fluent English and made the experience even more enjoyable. 👍

The Mezcal Journey

Mike, Nov 2026

The ONLY Mezcal tour you should book.

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.

Hierve el Agua Guided Full Day Tour in Oaxaca

LoriAnn_K, Oct 2026

Plan for a very long full...

Plan for a very long full day for this event. Herve el Agua is very beautiful in a serene setting with stunning views out across the valley. The hike can be challenging because of the steep descent (~1,000 stairs) but the way to the bottom of the formation is on secure steps and paths that are manageable. The cool mineral pools are very refreshing to swim on your return. Our guide was so knowledgeable and had very many cultural and archaeological insights.

Oaxacan Cooking Class with Local Chef

Kelsi_N, Sep 2026

Unforgettable experience

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%

Hierve el Agua HALF DAY trip.

Justin_S, Sep 2026

We had a fantastic...

We had a fantastic half-day trip to Hierve el Agua from Oaxaca! Our guide Luis was friendly and helpful from the very beginning, and he did a great job explaining the different sights and towns we passed along the drive. He and our naturalist guide were both extremely knowledgeable and made exploring Hierve el Agua even more interesting. Luis also gave us some great local food recommendations in Oaxaca, and one of the restaurants he suggested ended up being our favorite meal of the entire trip! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d highly recommend Luis and the tour.
