10/10 tour!
This was an exceptional tour! My friend and I were the only people who booked on so we ended up getting a private tour (we were very impressed that they didn’t cancel!) Francisco was an incredible and very attentive guide! He answered all of our questions, offered to adapt the tour to best suit our preferences and gave us time to explore each of the workshops ourselves. We really appreciated the time he spent in the market with us highlighting different local foods - my friend loved the enchilada he recommended! All of the workshops we visited were amazing, and we were grateful to all of the artisans for sharing their skills and expertise with us. We’re backpacking for a few months with limited bag space/budget so we took the tour to learn more about the local artistic traditions rather than to buy souvenirs from the workshops (as much as we would have loved to!). We were initially a little nervous when we were the only two who showed up that we might seem rude if we didn’t make purchases, but we needn’t have worried as there was absolutely no pressure to buy from any of the workshops. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!

Monte Alban tour
Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and funny. He also made sure we are shaded from the sun as much as possible when he was explaining everything there is to know about the archeological site and the Zapotecs who built and used the pyramids as places of worship and sacrifice. Overall a great experience. I highly recommend Miguel.

Educational. Fun. Very social experience.
Educational and fun.
Well organized.
Wonderful to meet art icons in person and learn from them.
Learning about the history of this unique family and their contribution to the establishment of Oaxaca folk art not only in the Mexico but also globally was a privilege.
The family art studio experience is great - and being able to ask questions and view their art made this very special.
We were also given permission to take photographs after receiving explanations of the family's style of patterns.
I loved that I could go home with my own painted piece of art that was carefully wrapped.
Highly recommend.

Daniel was an awesome guide!!
What an amazing experience! Daniel was professional, punctual, informative and tons of fun. He picked us up from our airbnb in a comfortable and clean suburban, plenty of room for the 7 of us. We toured Monte Alban, with details and insight from Daniel throughout the walk. Lots of steps up and down, with incredible views. The 2nd stop at Casa Ollin to learn about the multi-generational process of the artistry and craftsmanship involved in weaving was so much more than we expected, not to be missed. Then on to Hierve el Agua to see the natural pools and petrified waterfalls, spending a bit of time afterward for beverages and food. Then on to the mezcal tasting! After an informative tour to learn the lengthy process of making mezcal, we proceeded to taste, and taste, and taste some more. Throughout the day, Daniel remained fun and informative, never rushing us on to the next location. We returned after a full day, again right to our Airbnb. Overall, the tour was better than we expected. Thanks Daniel, as always, we are 'hopelessly devoted to you!' Debbie, Mary, Dena, Michelle, Scott, Dewayne and Jason
