    2 days of fun and sight seeing

    We were picked up from our Airbnb on time both days. We had a wonderful tour guide, Emeterio, who speaks English and Spanish. Emeterio explained the rich history of Monte Alban and always answered our questions. This 2 day tour was fun and we were able to buy Handmade crafts from the villages we stopped in. We recommend this tour and Emeterio as the tour guide.

    Response from the operator: That is great knowing you enjoyed your tour. Hope you return soon to Oaxaca . Kind Regards.

    Oaxaca in February

    This was the tour of a lifetime. Our guide, Victor shared the history which was amazing. Visiting all of the artisans and watching them work was so very interesting. We were a group of 13 with 2 children and loved every minute. I would highly recommend this tour.

    it was ok

    they switched the days at the last minute. hierve al agua became the first day, and i didn't have my swim clothes. :( the tour guide this day was great though. the second day was to monte alban, but the guide didn't speak english (english tour). he randomly found an english tour and told me to join. the people in the spanish group joined a spanish tour and there were at least 40 people in that group even though the description says it is semi-private with usually less than 14 people. i skipped the rest of the tour and just stayed at monte alban then took a cab back to oaxaca.

    2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal 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 Oaxaca City is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal 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 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal?

    +

    Around 2 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Oaxaca visiting Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, Mezcal 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 Oaxaca City 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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. 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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    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 Oaxaca City?

    +

    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.
