Excellent tour! - Clay drove us directly to the waterfall site. Beautiful mountains all around. The two hours he allowed there were just right amount of time to take the hike to the foot of the fall and take a dip in the pool. Then lunch at a small place close to the Falls was excellent. The weaving demo was fascinating on how they made the dyes and spun the wall and woven the rugs. On the way back, he stopped at the Tule tree on our request since we were the only two on the tour. Excellent tour.

Petrified waterfall tour - My sister and I booked this tour and absolutely loved it. It was our favorite part of our trip to Oaxaca. Arriving early before all the other tourists was amazing, because we got to experience it all to ourselves which was so special. Our driver was great and the whole experience was very rich and fulfilling. Highly recommend this tour!

Early visit to Hierve el Agua - Very pleasant trip by van with 4 other people. Javier was a great driver and host, and was very attentive to our needs. We had ample time at Hierve el Agua, a good lunch stop, a local weaver, and an additional visit to a Mezcal place. And still got back to Oaxaca by mid afternoon.

A fabulous 15th birthday present for my daughter! - We had a wonderful day with a good amount of time to spend at Hierve de Agua which was stunning, not to be missed. We did the hike and got very hot and sweaty which made the pools blissful to plunge into when we got back to the top. Could have spent another hour there at least. The lunch was lovely and we really enjoyed the textiles visit, both family run places with very friendly people. Our driver was friendly and patient and seemed to get us to each place before the crowds arrived. Thanks for everything.

Great day trip! - We booked the day trip to Hierve el Agua and Teotitlán. Enjoy Oaxaca was very communicative and provided just enough information to make our reservation easy. Kley was our driver for the day, and he arrived right on time at 7am in a nice Mercedes van and spoke great English. The views of the countryside outside Oaxaca were beautiful and the trip was just wonderful! I don’t enjoy hiking but that hike was perfect as it had lots of great stops for photos of amazing views and ended with a refreshing dip in the mineral pools. The stop at the Zapotec weavers’ studio was very cool and we loved the demonstration of the weaving process. It was a great trip!

Not really a guided tour - Not really a tour but more a drive in what seemed like a safe comfortable vehicle. I liked that we left early (7a) so we had Hierve el Agua to ourselves for about an hour. The weaving shop in Teotitlan del Valle was interesting but I would have liked to visit a few different shops. Our small group opted to skip lunch and head back to town. The only "guiding" that took place was when the driver pull to the side of the road to point out some petroglyphs. For a solo traveler it seems like an OK deal but if you're with a group I would look at renting a car or hiring a driver instead.
