Monte Alban Guided Half Day Tour

michelle_t, Nov 2026

Best Tourguide ever!!

We booked this tour and were so pleased we did. Our tour guide had a knowledge of the ruins that was so impressive. He has a passion for the history of his people and we could feel it in his presentations. We learned a ton and loved every minute. My suggestions would be to book the early tour. We did 8 am. It was not very busy at this time of day and not so hot. It warms up quickly after that tour. When we returned to the bus at our agreed upon time, The parking lot was packed. Also some sunscreen and a hat would be good.

Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes

Charis_B, Nov 2026

I had a wonderful time...

I had a wonderful time cooking with Chef Adhey in her home and learning about some of the Oaxacan traditions! All of the food was delicious, the experience was informative and a lot of fun. Chef Adhey and her family were very warm and inviting. I’m looking forward to recreating some of the dishes at home to the best of my abilities! I’d highly recommend this class to anyone looking for an authentic Oaxacan food experience

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

Alex_K, Oct 2026

Amazing tour with Pavel...

Amazing tour with Pavel (our guide) and Danil (our driver)! The tour is such a good value for money! You will cover so much stuff in a day it is unbelievable. The food / lunch has been changed from the previous badly reviewed buffet - it's now a 7 course Oaxacan tasting menu in a newly built restaurant. It's $420 currently but it's well worth the money as you get to try a bunch of different dishes. They were happy to adjust to both Vegetarian and Vegan members in our group. They took card when we went too. We didn't feel pressured to buy from the Rug place at all but it was a great experience and many people from our group did get something just because they were so cool. All in all, great your. Would recommend.

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.

The Mezcal Journey

Marcia_S, Oct 2026

Excellent!

Our guide Alfredo was excellent, very knowledgeable, definitely enjoys his job. The content and the experience was excellent and I highly recommend it. Just a note to the planners, the end of the day kind of dragged on with multiple repetitive toasts, too much standing around, and waiting for the bus to leave. The tour could be about an hour shorter. Also something to nosh on while we are tasting the many mezcals would be great, instead of a huge heavy meal at the end of the day. The tour company surprised us with a band during our lunch, which was so lovely and special, but they played so loud none of us could have any conversation. I was sad I could not hear what people were saying could not continue speaking with the people at my table.

Hierve el Agua,Arbol Del Tule,Mitla,Mezcal and Teotitlan del valle

Dakota_S, Oct 2026

Amazing Tour and Guide

This is a very long but very eventful tour! Our tour guide Rodrigo is a native Oaxacan and is very knowledgeable about all the locations and history! He gave the tour in Spanish and English without skipping any details. At this time the tour does not include the entrance fees and toll fees to the sites but they clearly let you know how kuch each is before your tour which I appreciated! Even with those fees this tour was still a great deal compared to others! The restaurant that they take you too for lunch was also absolutely delicious! Highly recommend!

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

Sarah_P, Oct 2026

Best Tour Ever

We had an amazing time learning about Oaxaca with our incredible tour guide Daniel. From the historical tour of Monte Albán to swimming in the pools at Hierve el Agua to learning about textiles and mezcal, we did it all. This was an excellent way to take in a number of sights in a relatively short trip. I highly recommend. Daniel and team were kind, thoughtful, and keen on providing a great experience. 10 out of 10... No notes!

Monte Alban Full Experience for 3 Hours with Admission Included

ANINI_D, Oct 2026

Excellent, highly qualified guide & tour!

We had a great experience with this tour company and guide! We arrived to a nice seating area with drink and snack while we waited, and the tour was top quality. Pavel was a great guide--patient, extremely informative, responsive to our environment (waited for us to sort out our needs with a little bit of rain, standing under trees for shade) and such a great speaker. We fully enjoyed the tour, which he led in 2 languages. When it went over time he didn't rush, just kept up with the full details. We would definitely do a tour with this company on our next visit to Oaxaca. Thank you!

Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour

Rebecca_B, Oct 2026

Amazing time

An amazing all encompassing experience! If you have limited time in Oaxaca, or if you’re there for a few days, you have to do this tour. It has a little bit of everything for everyone, and seeing the Mitla archaeological site was super cool. The pools at hierve del agua were a bit cool in October but still manageable. Kevin was also a really great tour guide. 10/10 would recommend!

Oaxacan Cooking Class with Local Chef

Kelsi_N, Sept 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, Sept 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.
