A small-group day trip from Oaxaca to Monte Albán, Arrazola alebrijes, and San Bartolo Coyotepec black clay pottery.
“It covered many highlights in Oaxaca, Monte Alban on its own is breathtaking but the additional stops made this a very complete tour!”
Half-day Hierve el Agua from Oaxaca: small group hike to petrified waterfalls, mineral pools, lunch stop, AC transport.
“Really great guided hike with insight into the local plants. It's quite steep but not horrendous. David was a great guide and really supportive when I needed to take extra time to walk back up. Cooling off in the pools at the end was a great way to close out the hike (don't be tricked into thinking it's warm though!). Going early makes a huge difference to the crowds, so this is a great choice for a more relaxed experience.”
Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido in one long day by air-conditioned van plus a boat tour for turtles and dolphins, with Zicatela views.
“This was a great experience. The tour guide had a different itinerary than what we signed up for. This is mostlikely due to it being a Sunday. But we were able to add the two things that meant the most to us and had a great time. The guide was new but did his best to translate for us.”
Oaxaca day trip: Teotitlán wool carpets, Tlacolula market bites, Mezcal samples, and an ATV ride in Mitla. Pickup and English.
“This was my favorite tour in Oaxaca! Irvin’s passion is contagious and it was so much fun experiencing food, mezcal and cultural traditions with his friends and family. So enjoyable I booked a follow-up tour with his cousin Cesar to visit caves near Mitla.”
Bike through Oaxacan villages, ride down into Santiago Apoala, then swim in cascading natural pools and chase Snake Tail Waterfall.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable Bike and Hike tour! I cannot recommend this guided hiking experience enough! From start to finish, it was perfectly organized and exceeded all my expectations. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and deeply passionate about the local ecology and history, which added a whole new layer of depth to the hike. The trail itself was breathtaking—lush forest paths, panoramic mountain views, and even a hidden waterfall that we never would have found on our own. Pedro kept a pace that was comfortable for me and my sister and made sure to take plenty of breaks for water, photos, and nature talks. He even brought refreshments and fruit, which…”
Private day trip to Zipolite and Mazunte: Mirador views, turtle conservation at Centro Mexicano, and Punta Cometa with a bilingual guide.
“Danny the Guide is knowledgeable, personable and very flexible. Whatever you are looking for, Danny will find it and make it happen!! Absolutely the best personalized tour out there!”
