“We were lucky to have Stef as a guide and Rodrigo as our driver. Both were very professional, yet relaxed and fun. Stef explained to us the history of the Oaxaca region and its traditions. Hierve el agua was breathtaking (in every sense-I don’t reccomend doing the hike if you are not in good shape) and the visit to the Mezcal distillery was great- we leaned all about the distillation process and the various kinds of agave and mezcal. Our group was small (just 7 of us) which made for a great experience as well. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour if you’re coming to Oaxaca.”

“I rarely leave a bad review but this one is warranted and I would hate for you to waste your money. The minibus driver is essentially the tour guide. However someone did meet us briefly at Tule Tree, Teotitlan del Valle and Mitla. who spoken very broken English. And unfortunately for me, the driving did not speak a word of English so half the time I had no clue where i was, what the next stop was or what was happening. This was frustrating as I did select that I wanted the english tour guide. AT Teotitlan del Valle the presenter/ weaver explained the whole process in her native tongue,…”

He was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. The ruins at Mitla were very interesting and the Tule Tree with its surrounding gardens was spectacular. Mario’s explanation and demonstration of Zapotec weaving was one of the best we have heard about dying wool. Over the years, we have had tours by many guides, Kevin’s accomplishment this early in his career is amazing.”
