Check off your Oaxaca City bucket list! - We recently enjoyed an incredible full-day tour with Ede as our guide, covering Tule, Hierve el Agua, Mitla, a textile factory, and a mezcal tour. Ede was knowledgeable and passionate, making each stop fascinating. From the awe-inspiring Tule tree to the breathtaking Hierve el Agua, her insights enriched our experience. The Mitla ruins and the textile factory visit were highlights, showcasing Zapotec culture and traditional weaving techniques. The mezcal tour was a perfect end, with a detailed explanation of the process and delightful tastings. was friendly, attentive, and organized, ensuring a comfortable and informative day. Highly recommended! Quick tip! Bring water, at least 500 in pesos, and (if you get car sick) anti nausea medicine. Also, plan for a FULL day tour (7:30am - at least 5:30pm)

A Full Day outside if Oaxaca - The itinerary encompasses many of the important sites and experiences outside of Oaxaca. It is a very long and exhausting day, but we are glad to have had the opportunity to visit them all. Our guide, Ede, was very pleasant and thoroughly explained each site. She was excellent.

Don't eat the worm! - Had a fantastic time with Ede as our tour guide. Sweet and funny and very careful that we were safe and comfortable. She answered all our questions and then some. It was a full day very well spent. Expected the waterfall to be the highlight but found the traditional rug making to be very interesting. Shout out to Alberto who kept us safe on these wild streets of Oaxaca!
