This ingrained respect for both the land and the plants being used is a safeguard for not only quality but also emblematic of resistance to the overwhelming pressure on small producers to industrialize production to meet demand, or sell out to large corporations.

Great!
My boyfriend and I loved this tour; we wanted to know more about the cultural heritage of Oaxaca, we were served! The visit to the pottery studios run by local families was exceptional: we were able to observe them and learn more about the different processes and motivations when it comes to creating. Lunch was delicious, and the visit to alebrijes studio was magical. After this rich day of sharing and learning, we had the opportunity to taste Mezcal in a distillery, what better way to end such a beautiful day! The tour was very well organized and the guide punctual, very pleasant and full of knowledge!
Response from the operator: Merci beaucoup pour votre retour si enthousiaste ! Nous sommes ravis d’apprendre que vous et votre copain avez passé un excellent moment lors de ce tour et que vous avez pu explorer la richesse culturelle d’Oaxaca de manière aussi immersive. La visite des ateliers de poterie tenus par des familles locales est en effet une expérience authentique, et nous sommes heureux que vous ayez pris plaisir à découvrir les secrets de leur savoir-faire. Terminer la journée par une dégustation de Mezcal dans une distillerie était sans doute la touche parfaite pour conclure cette belle immersion. Nous espérons vous revoir très bientôt pour d’autres découvertes !

Great food tour
This was a great tour where we experienced lots of great, local food but also learned so much about the city and Oaxacan culture. The tour was very well paced where we didn't feel uncomfortably full or that there was too much eating. I highly recommend it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words! We're so glad you enjoyed the balance of delicious local food and cultural insights on the tour. Oaxaca has such a rich culinary and historical heritage, and it's wonderful to hear that you had a great experience without feeling overwhelmed. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another tour from Oaxaca someday!

A Dream Tour!
Our awesome guide, Jorge, immersed us in some of the very best of Oaxacan culture! We visited the studios of clay and pottery artisans who are not only masters of their crafts but also part of the origination and history of these art forms! A delicious group lunch followed by a masterclass-level mezcal farm/distillery tour completed a perfect day.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that you had an incredible experience with Jorge in Oaxaca. It sounds like you truly immersed yourself in the local culture, art, and flavors. Come back soon !

Worth every penny- the highlight of my time in Oaxaca.
This experience was beyond great. The guide, Jorge was informed, respectful, attentive, and lots of fun. He set a positive vibe for the whole trip. The tour encompassed too many highlights for me to even begin to describe! There were only one couple besides myself, so it was essentially a private tour. Everyone had such a fantastic time. It was like old friends getting together. Jorge chose amazing representatives of different crafts and artisans. This all day tour changed itinerary slightly, due to unexpected closures, but Jorge knew the area and the people so well that it went off seamlessly. I can wholeheartedly endorse this tour for those interested in seeing beautiful areas in and around Oaxaca, and authentic craftsmen and women.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your glowing review! We're thrilled that Jorge's expertise, respectfulness, attentiveness, and fun personality made your experience beyond great. The personalized feel of the tour, the amazing craftspeople you met, and the seamless adjustments to the itinerary all contributed to a fantastic day. We're happy to have your wholehearted endorsement! Take care.

Why this scores 74
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca?
+
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 Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca?
+
Around 5 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Crafts & Cuisine All Included Guided Day Tour from Oaxaca 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.
