Beautiful Oaxaca
I did the trip from Huatulco area, which is three and a half hours from Oaxaca, but it was well worthed. Monte Alban's pyramid ruins is one of the highlights of the trip, it seats on top of a mountain, overlooking at the city of Oaxaca. The many cathedrals, zocalo square, and authentic food was very nice as well. The only thing to be aware of, is the tour "hierve el agua", which was included in the package when I bought it but the tour company in Mexico claimed that they were not doing it anymore and that it was included by mistake because their website was not updated. Luckly my tour guide "Gonzalo Giovani" was an excellent guide and made it happen us. It is a magnificent place to observe nature, relax in the pools and do some hiking if times allows.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that your 2-day trip from Huatulco to Oaxaca was worthwhile and that you enjoyed Monte Albán, the city’s cathedrals, zócalo, and authentic food. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding Hierve el Agua, and we’re glad that Gonzalo Giovani was able to make it happen for you. It’s wonderful to know that he helped make your visit memorable and enjoyable. We hope to welcome you again for another amazing adventure with Lamby Tours!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Huatulco.
How much does 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide cost?
+
Prices start at $390 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Huatulco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Huatulco is not rushed.
Is 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Huatulco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Huatulco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Huatulco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Huatulco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Huatulco?
+
On Outty we rank every Huatulco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to Copalitilla Magical Waterfalls from Huatulco with admission included, Huatulco Ocean Eco Adventures, Huatulco: Waterfalls & Oaxacan Food. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Huatulco?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Huatulco?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide?
+
Included: 1 night accommodation in a 4-star hotel; Tickets to the archaeological sites; Certified guide in English and Spanish; 2-day tour in Oaxaca City; and Round transportation from Huatulco -Oaxaca-Huatulco. Not included: Food and drinks; tips; Cost of Admission to Hierve el Agua; and Tule Tree Admission Cost. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 70 listed pickup locations in and around Huatulco. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 2-Day Guided Tour in Oaxaca with a Certified Guide offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+

+
