Monte Albán is one of the great archaeological sites of the ancient world — but most visitors walk through it without understanding what they're looking at. What makes this tour special is the guide. Our SECTUR-certified bilingual expert doesn't just point at pyramids : they tell you who built them, why they positioned the observatory the way they did, and what the carvings on the walls actually mean. Then, instead of heading back to the hotel, we take you deeper — into a 16th-century roofless convent that history forgot, into a workshop where a family has been carving fantastical wooden creatures for generations, and into a village where the black clay pottery tradition is so refined it has been declared a UNESCO Intangible Heritage. This is Oaxaca's ancient and living culture, side by side, in a single day.

The tour was great and we got to see so many wonderful parts of Oaxaca. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and translated everything to English which greatly helped. The buffet we stopped at for lunch had a lot of delicious food. Overall would recommend this tour!

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!

Monte Alban Guided Half Day Tour

Kristi_S, Oct 2026

Very interesting tour.

We had another guide have to cancel our original tour, so thankfully, we were able to book this one last minute. Our guide was very smart and knowledgeable. He Cf presented the information well and was easily able to answer everyone’s questions. I enjoyed the bit of free time before leaving Monte Albán.

Hierve el Agua Guided Full Day Tour in Oaxaca

Ramin_S, Oct 2026

This is how you do a full day tour! Absolutely jam-packed with activities that are just varied enough to not overwhelm. You get a decent workout (with an equally stunning view) with the Hierve el Agua, an unforgettable bonding experience with your fellow travellers at the mezcal distillery, an insightful history lesson at the Mitla site and textile workshop, and a nice lunch in-between. The Tree of Tule, unfortunately, had to be skipped because of heavy rain (they did try to get us a good view from the vehicle though). Also, huge props to the company for the van pick-up right outside my Airbnb.

The Mezcal Journey

biancabeee, Oct 2026

What an amazing experience!

Wow what an amazing experience! So beautiful, informative and fun! Alfredo was such an amazing tour guide! So knowledgeable, kind, friendly, fun and a true joy to be around! We loved our group too! Visiting the agave fields was truly breathtaking, learning all about the plants and how the agave is grown and how it finally becomes mezcal is fascinating! And trying true, artisanal mezcal was absolutely mind blowing! Nothing like you get back home! If you come to Oaxaca and you have the time definitely take this tour! You won’t regret it! Definitely one of the best things we did while we were visiting this beautiful place! Thank you Alfredo and all the people at the palenque!

OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local.

Yuna_W, Oct 2026

Best food tour, must do experience

Amazing food tour led by Eli. Learned about so many different foods but also culture and history of Oaxaca. My friends and I are big foodies and very knowledgeable about a lot of different foods and yet Eli showed us things we had never even heard of, and took us to spots we would have never found on our own. Food itself was of course amazing. Great pacing, you walk 10k steps but there are breaks to sit and eat. Tour takes about 6h but we could’ve kept going til dinner! My friend wanted to mention she especially loved the fruit tasting. They are super prepared and have hand sanitizer and wipes for everyone so you are comfortable and clean. We did it on our first day in Oaxaca which I highly recommend bc it helped us get situated in the city, learn about history and culture, see some major areas, and know what food to look for for the rest of our trip.

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.

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.

We had an amazing time on our tour of Monte Albán, the black pottery taller, and the alebrijes taller. Luis, our guide, was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate about Oaxaca and its culture, and incredibly accommodating, especially since one of us didn’t speak much Spanish. He made sure everyone felt included the whole way through. Highly recommend booking with Luis and this tour company if you want a tour that’s both informative and genuinely fun!

Mezcal & Mole by a Certified Sommelier

Hitomate_H, Mar 2026

The Perfect Introduction to Mezcal (and Mole!)

I had an absolutely fantastic experience with my guide, Ro. She was incredibly knowledgeable and answered my many questions in a way that was easy for a layperson to understand. We primarily spoke in Spanish, but whenever I struggled to follow, she seamlessly switched to English, which made the experience even more comfortable. While I originally came for the mezcal tasting, the mole pairing ended up being a huge highlight. I had never been much of a fan of mole before, probably because I’d only had mediocre versions, but this completely changed my perspective. I left a true fan and even brought some of my favorites home. Fair warning: you’ll likely leave with a few bottles of mezcal as well. Ro thoughtfully wrapped mine in bubble wrap so they made it home safely in my luggage. This tasting is a fantastic way to learn about and appreciate the nuances of mezcal before visiting the distilleries themselves. 10/10 experience, absolutely worth the price and highly recommended.
