Fascinating and tired tour to Hierve el Agua - Take this tour with them and it was very good the attention and visiting times at each site. Our Pilar guide was very attentive and talked a lot about the customs of Oaxaca making the trip very entertaining and she and Uriel the driver were always attentive and gave us very good recommendations. The buffet that we were taken to was great moles and food in general

Highly recommended tour with agency Oaxaca Dreams - Highly recommended agency. They were punctual, they were watching us. Very kind. Especially pleasant Angel, the Guide. The tour is very complete, long, but they manage not to get heavy because they alternate stops and visits. Very comfortable vehicle. From what we saw, good value for money.

Great destinations, OK Guide, Affordable and Convenient - This tour is a great choise to see some of the sights around Oaxaca of you're short on time or don't have transportation. The destinations were very enjoyable. The entrance tickets were pair for, just had to pay for the Oaxacan buffet for lunch. The tour guide had to repeat the information in Spanish and English, which was impressive, but he seemed quite rushed and often did not translate some of the information spoken in one language. But of your focus it transport to these places to experience them, it's a great affordable option.

Disappointing - For starters I think the visit to the bakery is completely over and is destined to end up paying for a few loaves. The view to the looms could also have been shortened and added that time and that of the bakery to boil the water since once there (for us it was the best of the excursion) they leave you 1h and 15 minutes, insufficient time to enjoy such natural wonder. Finally, we were unlucky to be put in a Guide who hurried us all the time. The visit to Mitla was very quick, and we did not have time to see the place quietly. The meal time was also scarce, even though we had not finished eating the guide began to hurry us to pay and put us on the bus to visit the mezcal factory in which we were a long hour, To finish I will say that we were asked 100 pesos to go to the boil water when on the ticket put 50 pesos. The entrance fee to Mitla was 95 pesos and all the couples on the bus paid with a 200 ticket and the Guide did not give anyone back their remaining 10 pesos, which I found quite ugly and Pro. Finally, I will say that the explanations in the guide were very quick and unclear, with zero enthusiasm.
