Oaxaca: Personalized Private Mezcal, Mitla & Tule Immersion

Our guides were amazing, very sweet and catered to our interests! Would very much recommend them! They provided information in both English and Spanish.

Luis Jesus provided an excellent service and was on time, communicative, flexible, and shared a ton of knowledge while he shared his town with us. We enjoyed the whole tour and even extended it for a couple hours. Would be back in a second!

Lucas Guzman 52 951 111 0158 Lucas gave us an absolutely amazing tour!! He was fun, knowledgable, polite, helpful and proffesional. The car was very clean and new. We saw so much!! First stop was black Pottery. We saw a master Potter working on his huge vessels. We saw the kiln and watched him and his son work. The son makes modern wall tiles that are in homes, hotels and installations around the globe! We had a bite in the small local restaurant next door. Truly authentic experience. We had a chance to purchase some Black pottery and we were so grateful for the opportunity. Next we went to meet a woman who does embroidery. She learnt from her mother , and grandmother and has taught her daughter as well.She was in her seventies and continues to work on magnificent pieces. It was mind blowing to watch her sketch and sew her own designs onto fabric, clothing, and textiles. It can take hundreds of hours for her to complete the work. It is authentic and beginning to end all done by hand. She lives and sells from her small perfect store in a small town on the outskirts of Oaxaca. We were grateful to Lucas for finding this spot to share with us. We saw next a weaver and his family at their organic home/space. They buy the wool , card it, clean it, spin it, then,…. Create their own dye from nature. Using flowers, fruit and skin, turmeric, cactus bugs, bark, indigo etc…. The wool is boiled and dipped in the natural colors to create a variety of shades for weaving. He makes magnificent carpets on the seven foot looms in his studio. He was taught by his father, and he teaches his children too…. This was amazing!! We also went to a home to learn about blackstrap weaving. Three sisters who learned the skill from their mother and grandmother. They do all the patterning in their heads. They work tirelessly and produce amazing textiles. The back-strap weaving technique is unique. These women are masters and have won many awards , their photos and prizes are displayed in the yard. This day was a highlight of our trip. Lucas took us to see people and things we could not have found on our own. It was incredible. We learned so much and had never seen this quality of textile design. We are so grateful. We will recommend Lucas and the textile tour to everyone!! Soo lucky to have found this guide in Oaxaca. We will be back!!!

Our tour was a lot of fun! Our tour guide Luis picked us up from our hotel and took us to the different locations. Luis was very respectful, professional and courteous. It was only my daughter and I and we always felt safe. We appreciated Luis sharing his knowledge about the culture and history of the different locations we visited. We learned a lot and had a very fun time. I definitely recommend Luis and the tour was phenomenal.

I am rating this experience with 3 stars given the tour itself was what I expected but the communication with the tour operator was not the best. They are nice people but they lack communications skills. They never made contact until I called them 2 days before the trip. The information is not 100% accurate as the places in the description are a mix of 2 routes they have. The guide was young and knew a lot of information about the Zapotecas and you could see he enjoyed his job. If you book directly through their site they offer 8 hour tour instead 6 hour and is 10-20% cheaper. I understand that as Viator charges a commission but the make tour which the duration is 8 hours so you end up paying 300 MXN (15 USD) extra per hour. They "gave me for free" 1 hour so we only had to pay an extra of 300 MXN.

A unique and super immersive experience. Very good to see impressive places like Mitla and El Tule. The guide Luis gave us was super informative and attentive. The experiences to learn about the process of making mezcal, fabrics and chocolate are excellent. I would give them 6 stars if they let me put even more.

Luis (guide) was very attentive since he picked us up at the airport and then the next day we went to Monte Alban and Mitla, Luis did not stop talking throughout the tour with the history of each place we visited, very prepared in the history of Bello Oaxaca and its places of interest. Very flexible to our needs! Until more time

Excellent Service, and really Luis made us the trip! Very attentive, polite and friendly. Delighted with the whole walk. Super recommended!

100 percent recommended, excellent guides, excellent Service more than guides excellent company I loved sharing with you a detail for my partner

It was the best option we could hire! We chose the private tour for 8 hours. Luis was friendly and very professional. We toured all the places we wanted in our time, we had delicious breakfast on Luis' recommendation. I highly recommend hiring this Enterprise on your next visit!
