“Experience was amazing! Tasted over 10 Mezcals. We got a chance to walk where they plant the mezcals.

All in all worth every second”
Review of Oaxaca’s full-day tour to Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Teotitlán, Tule, and a mezcal distillery, with tips on value and timing.
“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…”

Visit Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Tule, a Zapotec weaving workshop, and a mezcal palenque on an affordable full-day trip from Oaxaca.
“Wouldn't recommend. Organisation not great as meeting point unclear and despite arriving early my partner and I were separated on the very cramped minibus and in the worst seats with no chance to sit together over the course of a very long day. The tour tries to fit in too much and some stops are too long e.g. lunch, Tule tree and Hierve el Agua. Didn't get to mezcal tasting til after 6 by which point most just wanted to get back. Lunch buffet was also very poor quality. I'd suggest doing a shorter tour to make it more enjoyable. The tour guide himself was very good though but was…”
