A guided small-group day trip from Oaxaca to El Tule, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, weaving in Teotitlán, and a mezcal tasting, with AC transport.
“This was a great way to explore a few of the towns and sites near Oaxaca in a short amount of time. Our guide and driver David and Roberto were prompt and friendly - they explained all the sites we visited but also gave us time to explore on our own. We were even able to tailor the day somewhat since we were the only group on the tour. It felt like a good amount of time at each stop, and it was very interesting and enjoyable to learn about the towns and communities we visited. Great day!”

Full-day Oaxaca tour from the Zócalo to Santa María del Tule, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Teotitlán crafts, and mezcal tasting.
“What let this experience down was the buffet at the Roadhouse diner near Mitla. Food was terrible. The guide was great, but didn’t join us at Mitla ruins to explain the history and construction. If he doesn’t know this information, he should learn it.”
A full-day Sierra Norte hike from Oaxaca to a cloud forest village, with memelas breakfast, indigenous culture, and homemade mountain lunch.

“First day Herve el Agua whole day was great. Second day Monte Alban was great but the rest was a bit empty. But the guide Ede had done a good job to explain all the history.”
Hike the Sierra Norte from Oaxaca City to Cuajimoloyas with included breakfast and lunch, pine forest trails, and an optional suspension bridge.
“Highly recommend this hiking excursion! Ivan is deeply knowledgeable about Oaxacan culture/surrounding nature, native plants, and his passion for the outdoors is contagious. He’s extremely organized and was very attentive to all the details to ensure we had a special experience. The sweet little comedor he took us to for breakfast and lunch before/after the hike was the perfect way to start and end our day in Cuajimoloyas. The hike itself was great — the views were excellent and Ivan identified noteworthy plants and birds!”

“Wow. What a magical day! It ended up just being me and one other person on the tour and we got to see and do so much. Our guide knew so much history of Monte Alban and brought us to the most amazing Artisans in villages near Oaxaca city. 10/10 would do this tour again.”
Full-day bromeliad forest tour from Oaxaca: chocolate tastings, a pine–oak hike with waterfall, Ixtlán crystal viewpoint, and Juárez sites.

“This tour was a waste. We paid over $500, US dollars, for the two of us. All we got was a driver. He told us he was not hired to give us a tour of Monte Alban or anywhere else. He said he was just hired to drive. And that's all he did. He drove us to Mont Alban, where we had to pay over $60 US for a different guide to take us around and explain what we were seeing there. Then the driver took us a few other places, but it was clear that he was not especially interested. I have never heard the word "tour" mean just…”
