We had an excellent tour with Santiago touching on many of the highlights of Oaxaca. The textile tour was really interesting explaining how they create the dyes and we even used the spinning wheel to create yarn. The whole day was informative and enjoyable.

The experience was good, but Jorge the guy at the Bitao mezcal factory told me I could take up to 1 litre of mezcal on my hand luggage in any size bottles without a problem, but that’s not true, still only 100ml bottles are allowed. I’m Spanish and I asked him many times in Spanish so there was no language misunderstandings, I thought it was strange but he insisted it would be fine, he just wants you to buy it and doesn’t care if you cannot take it onboard and have to leave it behind.

We spend an amazing day with Santiago the guide and Eddie the driver. We booked in short notice the “full Oaxaca experience” and it exceed our expectations. Santiago is really passionate, great storyteller with a wide range of knowledge on different topics, explained in great English. He always offered to take pictures of us and always willing to help with suggestions( from food to places) Together with him, Eddie has been a safe and very kind driver( willing to stop anytime for us to get picture) Really recommended experience!

Book this tour, I promise you will enjoy yourself and have a different appreciation for Oaxaca and its surrounding towns. First Santiago (guide) and Jerson (driver) were beyond professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Santiago made us feel like we were out on a day with a friend. The ride to all locations was comfortable, we got to learn about the areas we passed up along the way. The Tule tree was a pleasant sight in a small town with local shops, the textile workshop was thorough and informative. There are items for purchase. The Hierva el Agua was a sight to see. My partner and I went over the designated time frame, however Santiago and Jerson were patient. Bring extra clothes! Mitla was a cute place to visit and walk around, it’s filled with local shops and food stands. It rain on us for the Mezcal tour, nonetheless Santiago gave us a detail walk through the process of Mezcal making. The Mezcal tasting was fun, nothing but laughter and good Mezcal. Santiago has an amazing personality, great conversation. I would go on a tour again with him. “I’m on your time, this is your tour enjoy as much as you want” in Santiago’s words.

We had a great day! Our tour guide Alvaro was great, he was so polite and helpful..We will be recommending this tour to our family and friends!

We contacted Oaxacool tours in order to see if they could provide a private day tour seeing various attractions like Hierve el Agua and a Mezcal distillery. Our driver and guide were fantastic 10/10 - passionate and of course super knowledgeable of the area. Always made sure we felt safe and happy wherever we were. The car was comfortable and we fit in so many great activities for the day. It gave us a great local insight into Oaxaca and we can’t wait to come back. Thank you so much to Adriel and Oaxacool for organising a wonderful day for us!

Adriel is awesome and very knowledgeable. We honestly enjoyed the car ride with him where he teaches you about the history of Oaxaca along to way to every stop. Would definitely take the tour again. Marcos is a great driver, as well.

10 out of 10. Adriel and Marcos were awesome! Adriel is quite knowledgeable, and very welcoming. We had a blast! We highly recommend this tour.

Very interesting and informative tour with a fantastic guide who couldn’t have been more knowledgeable and helpful. Good value - would recommend.

Falls were great, fab swim. Rest was ok with usual pressure to buy mescal or carpets. But 5 pax jammed into a small ford with no a/c was hot, crowded and no fun. Especially for my wife who got stuck in middle back seat!!

We took a tour to Hieve del Agua which was perfectly planned. With a small stop at a bakery halfway there,. 21/5 hours stop atHieve del Agua which gives you plenty of time to do the hike, swim in the pools and eat lunch. On the way back there was a stop at a mescal distillery where we learned about the process and tasted lots of different mescals and mescal based drinks. The tour guide was knowledgeable and fun. All in all a fabulous day out.

Be ready to be overwhelmed! We arrived early so we enjoyed an hour or so of wandering among the locals and seeing the market set up. It's a market that caters largely to locals. Don't go with the goal of hunting for crafts and souvenirs or you'll be disappointed. By about 11 the market got crazy. It was so packed that we had to squeeze through the throng at a snails pace. I'm glad we went but we were relieved to leave.

This was an excellent way to immerse yourself in the Oaxacan culture. Keren was great and answered all her questions and shared her kitchen with us. She was patient and walked us through the cooking recipes. Going to the market was an experience like no other. The people were nice, the food was delicious.

This tour was amazing! We started in Teotitlan del Valle where we had a very detailed explanation about zapotec rugs, Oscar is a great artist, his desgins are breath taking. Kerenn was very friendly and provided many good recommendations to explore the city while we were going to the next spot, the mezcal distillery is a beautiful house and the mezcal was so good, this is the perfect tour to explore Oaxaca.
