It was beautiful to experience the nature out in Oaxaca, plus the mezcal tasting! Leon was an excellent tour guide. Jose the driver was also great! With Leon's vibrant personality and insightful information, we were able to make lovely memories together but, also with our fun group. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oaxaca.

My time with Stephany was great, she was very kind and informative. She made us feel like family during our visit to Hierve de Agua, also the mizcal tasting was the best that I’ve been too. I definitely would highly recommend this tour and Stephany as your guide. Looking forward in all the recommendation she gave us around the city.

Well organized. Plenty of time at Hierve. Friendly tour guides. Comfortable minibus. We also stopped at a cempasuchil farm as it was week of Dua de Muertos

Fantastic tour. Everything worked to perfection. Great tips for the Hievre bike and ample time to complete the hike and enjoy the waters. Mezcal distillery tour was really informative and such nice staff at the distillery. Plenty of time to sample and enjoy the mezcal. Got to mention it guide Marguerite. She was fantastic. So full of life and enjoyment. Looked after everybody do well

This was a blast. Our guide was super fun and very knowledgable. Hierve el Agua is a stunning formation you cannot miss while in Oaxaca, and the three-hours the tour leaves you there is more than enough time to do a quick hike, swim in the pools, and grab a bite to eat. The mezcal tasting and plantation tour was also fantastic with deeply enthusiastic, passionate staff that love what they do. Our tour, however, ran two hours over the allocated time. That was partially because our Mezcal tasing went over, and also because there were protests in the area that caused a traffic nightmare to no fault of the tour. We would highly recommend this experience.

Love it ! Estefania was the perfect guide, funny and knowledgeable. The nature at the cascade is beautiful and the swim such a nice addition. The degustation of Mezcal was also such a fun moment. We leave this tour with a lot of precious memories.

Fabulous tour—Rodrigo was incredibly informative and interesting about Oaxaca and its history, as well as very funny and good-humored! We enjoyed everything we did and appreciated all the information and recommendations on food and mezcal, as well as the actual scheduled stops. I was a bit apprehensive about the hike as I hadn’t thought through shoes when I was packing, but the very gentle hike we did (around the side of the falls) was fine in decent, secure sandals. There are much more aggressive hikes available, I believe—next time! The mezcal distillery tour was also fascinating. I was really interested in the whole process and the different types of agave, and how wild agave differed from cultivated agave. They are very generous with the sample pours, so definitely have something to eat before you get there 😵💫 My Spanish isn’t up to following that much information, so if yours is the same you’ll be happy to know that Rodrigo is really bilingual.

Absolutely amazing experience. Our guide was Rodriquez and driver was Eduardo. They went every extra mile to make this experience memorable. From explaining the history in detail to ensuring we are really enjoying the experience, he left nothing on chance. Distillery experience followed by mezcal tasting was great too We probably tasted 10 different variants and learnt a lot about the drink. Highly recommend!
