An Incredible Cultural Cooking Experience
My Sister and I had the pleasure of an incredible farm-to-table Oaxacan cooking experience with José as our instructor today. We were picked up in Oaxaca Central in a van and driven out to a smaller more laid back area outside of town where there was an outdoor cooking experience with José showing us the old traditional methods of making foods such as corn tortillas made from scratch, moles, salsas, empanadas and more.. We were given a tour of their large fruit and vegetable garden and their goats, chickens and such. Then we walked to the local market to shop for additional fresh ingredients. We arrived back and José put us to work, showing us the authentic cooking techniques over fire, using all the freshest ingredients. We enjoyed several dishes and it was a wonderful experience in a laid back large back yard setting. They have a great set up there for a truly memorable day. Oh, and we enjoyed the cocktails too!!

Brilliant day out!
Fantastic day out! It was a full on day from 8am-7pm but it never once felt dull! We had a brilliant guide, Christian, who was patient, interesting & happy to answer any questions! Would highly recommend to anyone considering this. Everything was seamless and so well thought out. Enjoyed the hike too - definitely bring trainers!

Fun, insightful, and truly unforgettable experience
This was easily one of the best tours I had during my stay in Oaxaca. From start to finish, everything was well organized, enjoyable, and full of meaningful moments. Our driver, Mr. Jose, was professional and made the journey smooth and comfortable, and our tour guide, Adriel, was absolutely outstanding. Adriel was honestly the best guide I had during my entire trip. He struck the perfect balance between being fun, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. What I appreciated most was how much depth he brought to the experience—he didn’t just explain the history of mezcal, but also shared insights about current events, culture, and the realities of life in the region. As someone who is curious and well-traveled, I really value learning in this way—not to judge or criticize, but to better understand a place, its people, and how history shapes the present. Adriel created that kind of thoughtful and open environment, which made the tour feel much more meaningful. The group itself was also amazing—small, friendly, and full of positive energy. Everyone was engaged, and that energy matched perfectly with the guide, which made the experience feel even more special and connected. We had plenty of time to explore Hierve el Agua, and the views were absolutely breathtaking. You don’t necessarily need a separate guide to walk down, as you can explore on your own at your own pace, which I personally enjoyed. It gave me time to really take in the scenery, appreciate the uniqueness of the place, and just be present in the moment. The mezcal tasting was another highlight. It was both fun and educational, and I learned so much—not just about how mezcal is made, but also about its cultural significance and the differences you might not notice on your own. On top of that, I ended up winning a bottle by answering a question, which was such a fun and memorable bonus! Overall, this tour was the perfect mix of adventure, culture, learning, and fun. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oaxaca. It’s not just a tour—it’s an experience that stays with you.

We had an amazing...
We had an amazing afternoon on the Mezcal and countryside tour. The first stop to the textile factory was very informative and interactive. Alvaro was a great guide with tons of knowledge about Mezcal and Oaxaca. We toured the beautiful agave fields, practiced using a machete, and learned the entire Mezcal production process from the field to the bottle. The Mezcal tasting was fun and informative, and the Mezcal all tasted great! Finally we shared a traditional Oaxacan lunch at a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend this tour for a wonderful experience, and thank you so much Alvaro!

Many travelers agree that if you only have time to visit one place in Mexico, it should be Oaxaca. The state has some of the country’s most iconic food—from its seven types of mole to flaky tlayudas (stuffed tortillas)—plus inspiring natural beauty and colorful architecture. Oaxaca tours let you explore like an expert, whether tasting street food in Oaxaca City or discovering the Monte Albán ruins. You can also learn to make mezcal on a plantation, marvel at a petrified waterfall, or head to the coast for surfing lessons.
