Ultimate Oaxaca: Hierve, Tule, Mitla & Mezcal Day Odyssey

The trip had something for everyone, which is both good and bad. Personally, Hierve el Agua and the mezcal distillery and tasting where definitely worth highlights, along with the weaving tour. On the other hand, Mitla, the pre-hispanic archeological site, and the all-you-can eat meal where run of the mill affairs. The archeological tour seemed rushed and the explanation not particularly engaging, and the lunch/dinner was as you might expect from all-you-can eat establishments.

Adriel was an amazing tour guide. Very friendly and informative. Met people from all over the world and everyone was friendly…. Except for one guy! Ridiculous. Kept telling me to move my shoulders so I wouldn’t touch him haha. The road is dirt and it’ll be a bumpy ride. Then he yelled at the rest of the group to “hurry the f up, I got s**t to do!” Haha Other than that, it was an amazing experience. When we come back to Oaxaca, we will definitely try to book Adriel to Monte Albán. And thank you to Don Jose for driving us. The mezcal tasting was a good experience, our bartender Santiago was very nice. Citlaly in Mitla was also a good hostess when showing the group the process of rug making.

This was a great experience. Miguel made it a great tour by explaining every stop in the tour. He created a great atmosphere with everyone in the tour making it really enjoyable.

Amazing experience. Every stop was worth visiting and inspiring.... The guide Adriel was outstanding and knowledgeable....

A fantastic option if you enjoy exploring new places, very nice places, specially Hierve el Agua where one can hike or enjoy the pools filled with mineral rich water. A great balance between activity and riding around. I believe it was a great investment of time at very fair cost. If you enjoy a little alcohol, then the Mezcal tasting at the end is really for you.

Miguel and Edu were really great. They kept the energy up and were awesome for a long day. Definitely bring water and extra cash.

Miguel was a great guide. We enjoyed the five different stops. It was so convenient to take a comfortable shuttle. I admit the Mezcal tasting at the end put everyone in a really good mood. I particularly enjoyed the petrified waterfall. Make sure to bring your swimsuit.

5 stars, would highly recommend this tour! We loved our tour guide, Adriel and our driver. He was full of knowledge and interesting facts, we particularly enjoyed topping off the day with a fun mezcal tasting!

Fantastic tour run by the brilliant Adriel and the indefatigable Jose that showed us the key highlights around Oaxaca. By far the most positive "organised tour" experience we have had anywhere abroad. Adriel never rushed us and was super attentive, always helping to answer questions and ensuring the non Spanish speakers could also understand the content conveyed. Who would have thought we ended the night bonding with fellow tour members turned friends over a few bottles of mescal! Highly recommend.

This tour was an incredible way to experience Oaxaca’s beauty and culture in one day. Hierve el Agua was breathtaking — the views and petrified waterfalls were unforgettable. The Tule Tree and Mitla ruins added so much history and meaning, with our guide explaining everything in a way that was engaging and easy to follow. The day ended with a fun and educational mezcal tasting, where we learned about the process and sampled different varieties. The pacing was great — enough time at each stop without feeling rushed — and I met wonderful fellow travelers that made the day even more memorable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Oaxaca! 🌿✨
