5.00This was 10/10. Irwin our driver and main tour guide was friendly, flexible, and knowledgeable. Each stop had an awesome guide and experience as well. We were comfortable, felt taken care of and was able to relax and enjoy while taking in the culture, the history, and the sites!
Perfect combination of archaeology, natural wonder, culture, and some mezcal fun!

5.00We had a fantastic day exploring the various places around Oaxaca, complementing perfectly our days in the city and fitting in just enough for one day, with not too much time on the road, a bit of walking (for all levels) and lots of interesting insights. We lucked out with Daniel who was not only extremely knowledgeable and a smooth driver but a wonderful companion for the whole day. Our highlight was probably Monte Alban because this was where his impact was most felt while he showed us around and explained everything so well. Highly recommended tour!
Amazing day

5.00Highly recommend. Ivan was a wonderful host that was incredibly helpful with our two children (1 and 3). He was engaging, knowledgable, and flexible. Given the overall price, I could not recommend the private tour enough as it truly allows you to enjoy the overall experience in a ways that is completely customized to your own tastes.
Jam packed day!
