Excellent

Lissette_O, Nov 2021

Tour with enough time to get to enjoy Hierve el Agua. Marcos was an excellent tour guide who not only explained the history of the place visited but gave us a gastronomic tour where we got to learn about the typical food of Oaxaca.

A worthwhile trip!

This was really a great experience! Hierve el Agua is beautiful. Lots of hiking to be done and the water is beautiful. We picked this tour because it allowed more time to enjoy Hierve el Agua than any other of the tours. Our guide, Marco was super. The mezcal factory was really cool and visiting the weaver and seeing that process was so interesting. The woven rugs are wonderful! I highly recommend this trip!

A great half day experience at Hierve el Agua

This tour fitted our preferences, because we wanted to reach Hierve el Aqua early in the morning before it gets crowded. That is why we selected it. The schedule of this tour brings you there around 8ish am and you have 3.5-4 hours to stay and enjoy all area around Hierve el Agua. You have enough time for trekking, to swim and take lots of pictures. if you do not want to spend much time at Hierve el Agua, you may need to consider an alternative tour. Then you are visiting an indigenous community where you learn how the local populations use the plants and nature to create the colors for their textiles. Last but not least, there is a last stop at a Mescal factory where you learn about the different types of Agave plant and its distillery process to produce Mescal. We have to mention that our driver & tour guide was amazing. He tried to answer any question we had and provide us with information about Oaxaca area, local crafting techniques and local culture. If we have to mention something that it can be done to improve this tour even more, here is our 2 cents: 1) The food stop may need to come earlier in the tour and not at the end before Mescal testing. 2) Oaxaca is famous for the good food and we think that Viator's tours have to find better spots for their food stop. Oaxaca dining deserves better representation than average buffets / restaurants. 3) We bought stuff both during textiles stop at the indigenous village and of course during Mescal stop at the Mescal Factory. However, we found both places a bit pricey. Either negotiate the prices or you can find similar stuff at Oaxaca street markets.

Uziel was amazing

We loved the tour! Our guide Uziel was educated on all the sites and his English was really good. I highly recommend this company!!! Of all the companies that do Hierve el Agua, you get the most amount of time in nature with this one!
