Mezcal Tour
We booked the Mezcal Tour Journey with Ramy, which lasted 4.5 hours. We were picked up in Oaxaca, and on the way to the palenque, we were already given lots of interesting information about the history of mezcal. At the distillery, we learned more about the production process, the different types of mezcal, and what makes each one unique. Afterwards, Adriana took us on a wagon ride through the agave fields to a pulquería, where we got to try pulque as well. Along the way, we also enjoyed a typical Oaxacan specialty: memelas. At the end, we had the chance to taste 10 different mezcals. All in all, it was a wonderful and very informative day. Highly recommended!

Our experience was very...
Our experience was very fun and informative! Ramy was a great guide and made the mezcal demonstration and tasting very enjoyable. Pickup and drop off was also very convenient, especially after the generous amount of Mezcal they let you sample. Definitely worth the price!

Exceptional
Omg, what a fantastic tour it was!!! Four of us had this tour yesterday with Ramy. The pickup was on time and off we went to the distillery. On the way Ramy explained us a lot about not only mezcal but the history of Oaxaca and the area. When we arrived at the distillery, Ramy took his time to explain the whole process and gave us the opportunity to try ourselves as mezcal masters (we got to chop up the pinas) ;-). Afterwards we had a tour of the fields im a cool barrel vehicle and after that we got to try the mezcals. Now I’m absolutely not an expert and wasn’t even sure at first that i wanted to to this tour. But there wasn’t a moment where i regretted it!!! Informative and fantastic tour!!! Do not hesitate, it’s totally worth the money!!! Just do it and ask for Ramy if you can;-)!!!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca cost?
+
Prices start at $1800 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 Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca take?
+
Plan for about 4.5 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 Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 41 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 Experience the Mezcal Tour in 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 Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Experience the Mezcal Tour in Oaxaca?
+
Around 14 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Experience the Mezcal Tour in 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.
