Artisans in their creative space
It was a great experience to see up close the artisans who make their crafts in their own space. David was a great tour guide very knowledgeable and friendly. We wouldn’t have enjoyed the tour as much if we had another guide. He picked us up from our airbnb in Centro and took us to the black pottery artist shop first and all the stops were all very engaging and amazing. We enjoyed the Oaxacan lunch too!

Best private tour
If you only do one tour while in Oaxaca, I recommend this one. Ricardo and David were excellent hosts, very knowledgeable and by the end like old friends. It never felt touristy. Highly recommended.

Fantastic day visiting very talented Oaxacan Artisans
Our group consisted of two couples who were very interested in better understanding some of the renowned artwork found in the towns of Oaxaca. Our tour guide, Filiph (aka Fili) did an incredible job throughout the day in providing us with very engaging opportunities to see the artists up close and to really understand not only how they produce their art, but the history concerning how their form of art was created. Fili is a native of the area and his English was great. He was very passionate and very thorough in providing us with an in depth understanding of the artisan towns and local artists that we visited. We went to San Bartolo Coyotepec to spent time with a black pottery artist and after that we went to San Martin Tilcajet where we visited an art studio/school where there were many artists involved with making incredibly colorful hand painted alebrije pieces. We also went to Santa Tomas Jalieza where they hand make many textile products. Our last two stops included a great lunch stop where we all enjoyed excellent local Oaxacan dishes and we then visited a family run Mezcal producing distillery and we got a great appreciation of how this famous product was produced. It was a long day, but it was well worth every second and the four of us would highly recommend this tour.

An extraordinary and intimate glimpse into the magic of the artisan villages in the Oaxacan valley
Ricardo is the perfect tour guide. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Oaxaca's rich cultural history, he is also a great conversationalist and I enjoyed our drive almost as much as the destinations. From the moment he picked me up at the hotel, I felt like I was on an adventure with a friend which, as a solo traveler, I deeply appreciated. The experience was also beautifully curated. From Maestro Matias' intimate home studio in San Bartolo Coyotepec where I watched him mold a pot from clay to the colorful alebrijes workshop in San Martin Tilcajete to the women-run market in Santo Tomás Jalieza, I was mesmerized by the talent and spirituality of the ancestral practices. We stopped for lunch at the market in Ocotlán de Morelos and I had the most amazing mole enchiladas at "La Frida Oaxaqueña", and then ended the tour with a visit to a palenque where Maestro Alexis explained the techniques he learned from his elders (passed down through several generations) to make his signature ancestral mezcal. Not only did I taste several of his mezcal variations, his adorable little brother Victor served me sliced oranges sprinkled with the delicious salt of the agave worm (gusanos de maguey). I will certainly go back to Oaxaca, and look forward to another tour with Ricardo. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Great day!
We had a wonderful guide who took us to some great places and a great lunch spot. As an additional treat the countryside was gorgeous. Great demonstrations of how the crafts are made.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st. cost?
+
Prices start at $3600 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 Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st. take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st. 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 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 Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st.?
+
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 Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st. suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st.?
+
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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day of the Dead Tour. Only October 31st. 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.
