Great tour. - This experience was amazing to he whole tour was great we got to experience so many things throughout the day. I will say I didn’t enjoy the buffet they have but there are other food stalls at stops before that are great. Although I didn’t like it my parents did enjoy it so I think it’s just my personal preference.

Great day - I had an excellent day. The tour was well organised and the tour guide was very informative and helpful, the driver was also lovely. The activities were all really worthwhile and interesting and hierve al agua was very beautiful. be prepared for a long day and bring your swimsuit and cash for the entrance fees, shopping and tips. The restaurant we stopped at was decent enough too. I definitely recommend this trip

If I would recommend it for the foreign tourist - The tour was fine in general, good guide, good driver, the road to Boil the water not in such good condition as it is the mountains, BUT in the center sell you everywhere the same tour for half the price.

A Variety of sites outside of the City - This is a good tour to get out of the city and see some of the environment. It is a mix of activities which I enjoyed, and we did not stay at any one too long. I found the Mezcal distillery a bit disappointing as it was a big tour bus stop. Fr a small group Viator could find something more authentic. The tour guide was fine, and had a good command of English as well, but ran out of steam after the Mitla stop, and did not have much to say after that. As a tour guide myself, I think he could have provided us with more information about the Oaxaca way of life on our return. But worth the cost for the day in my opinion.

We could experience many... - We could experience many things in one tour but having enough time at each stop. One thing I missed is that tour didn’t go up to the Teotitlan del Valley village but stops at roadside textile shop to see dying and weaving demo.

I don't know if I'll do this tour again. - Small group tour, many points were presented to us. The guide was very friendly as well as the driver. Food and entrance to the park not included, the additional cost is 800 Mexican dollars! Which is not nothing. The price paid at the start is only the payment of the driver and guide? It was a beautiful day but I knew better ..
