is alot of things to do in 1 day. our experience was the guide repeating all information nonstop in spanish and english languages, talking fast therefore information was lost. sometimes the mike worked, sometimes not. schedule was very tight not allowing time to do all you want. There was no pick up at our air bnb, due to the festivities, departure time was changed about 12-14 hours prior to departure and drop off was not available at origination, had to make your own way back.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we sincerely apologize for the inconveniences you encountered during your tour. On October 30th, Oaxaca celebrated the Magna Comparsas, large traditional parades that significantly affected traffic throughout the city. Originally, only one parade was scheduled, but three additional ones were added at the last minute and started earlier, which forced us to adjust the departure time to ensure the tour could still operate. For the same reason, pick-ups and drop-offs in certain areas were not possible, as many streets were closed due to the festivities. We truly appreciate your understanding, especially during Día de Muertos, when Oaxaca comes alive with celebrations that can also bring unexpected logistical challenges. Your feedback regarding the guide’s pace and the microphone issues has been shared with our team to help us continue improving. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide a more comfortable experience next time you visit Oaxaca.

Lots of History at a slow pace.
This seems like a long day but it's great for people who don't want to do much climbing but want to hear about the history of the area. The textile shop was very informative and there was no pressure to buy. Mitla was in architectural historic restoration that was mostly on flat ground. We had time for a lunch that had various options for a nominal fee. The mezcal distillery was interesting and again no hard sell to buy anything. The tule tree was in a small town that was surrounded by a church and a beautiful garden area. Overall there's a lot packed in to this stretched out day but if you only have a short period of time it's a good overview of the city of Oaxaca surrounding area

Great tour.
This experience was amazing to he whole tour was great we got to experience so many things throughout the day. I will say I didn’t enjoy the buffet they have but there are other food stalls at stops before that are great. Although I didn’t like it my parents did enjoy it so I think it’s just my personal preference.

A Variety of sites outside of the City
This is a good tour to get out of the city and see some of the environment. It is a mix of activities which I enjoyed, and we did not stay at any one too long. I found the Mezcal distillery a bit disappointing as it was a big tour bus stop. Fr a small group Viator could find something more authentic. The tour guide was fine, and had a good command of English as well, but ran out of steam after the Mitla stop, and did not have much to say after that. As a tour guide myself, I think he could have provided us with more information about the Oaxaca way of life on our return. But worth the cost for the day in my opinion.

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla cost?
+
Prices start at $43 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 full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla take?
+
Plan for about 11 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 full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 231 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 full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla?
+
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 full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla?
+
Around 81 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 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does full day tour : Hierve el Agua, Teotitlan, Mezcal, el tule and Mitla 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.
