A great day exploring a beautiful part of Oaxaca - My partner and I had a fantastic day exploring Hierve de Agua and all other places on this trip. A lot of fun, adventure and learning! Beautiful scenery, food and people! It’s a long day, so be prepared with snacks and plenty of water, however there are plenty of opportunities to pick up food, deinks and other articles throughout the day. Our guide did an incredible job in both English, Spanish and even some Zapotec, making for a very immersive experience

Wonderful day in the countryside of Oaxaca! - It was a long day, but a wonderful experience. We got to see the beautiful countryside of the Oaxaca area, hike at the Hierve del Agua for a couple of hours, visiting Mitla historical site, and see the local culture (weaving and Mezcal). Zenon, our guide, was awesome and provided so much interesting information about the ancient cultures and current village life. Super informative and just an all around great day.

Wow!! What a Tour!!! - This was the most inclusive trip in Oaxaca! We saw so many interesting things in 1 day! Loved the falls...they are so cool ...it's quite a trek out to them, but well worth it! Our guide was excellent (Zenon ?) giving us so much information about everything we did! It is a full 12 hours...so be prepared. But everything we saw was awesome!!! Thank you!!

Great tour around Oaxaca. - I really enjoyed the ride. Well organized. Many sites to visit. The only negative was transportation. The minivan was very uncomfortable. My husband was in the back very stuck with 3 other people. All the other tours I did in Mexico had better transport.

Amazing Tour - This is one of the best tours we have taken in Mexico. Our friendly tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed the scenic sights and interesting places that we visited. A delicious lunch at a Mexican restaurant was included. Wear comfortable shoes and don't forget to bring a hat, sunscreen and a bathing suit. It is a very long day though so be prepared for that.
