A must do when visiting Oaxaca
An absolute highlight of our honeymoon in Mexico! Estefany was an incredible guide - so knowledgeable, attentive, and accommodating to everyone in the group. Ángel, our driver, was equally fantastic, keeping everything smooth and effortless. The entire experience was delivered perfectly in both English and Spanish, and it allowed us to pack in way more than we ever could have managed on our own. We can't recommend this team highly enough!

Amazing Day
The tour was amazing! Estephanie was our guide, and she was wonderful. The day is jam-packed with activities, but don’t worry, at no point did it feel rushed. We had “free time” at every stop, which is exactly my style of tour. We also got extremely lucky with the weather. It was cool and overcast, which was perfect for all the walking we did. Overall, it was an amazing experience and I would absolutely recommend this tour! Good weather not guaranteed ;)

Had an amazing time on...
Had an amazing time on our tour! Stephanie was a great tour guide and very insightful about all of the places we visited. She went out of her way to make sure everyone on the tour was having a good time. The tour was very diverse, there’s something for everyone. Historical sights, cultural & gastronomical experiences, outdoor activities, and a mezcal distillery tour and tasting to end. Don’t be afraid of the long tour time! At each stop there were plenty of opportunities to find water, a snack, or a toilet! Overall, a great well-rounded tour! We had so much fun!

Incredible cultural tour with the best guide!
An absolute must-do when visiting Oaxaca! The itinerary is packed with amazing sights. And then there was our guide, Estefany. Phenomenal, super knowledgeable, and super friendly. She made sure everyone had an amazing time from start to finish with her positive energy and great vibe. Five stars all around! Hierve el Agua: A giant speleothem-like calcified tower. At the top, you can swim in natural pools, and/or you can walk a circular path to the bottom of the tower and up again. The Tule Tree: A fascinatingly broad taxodium tree. A must-see even if you are not a dendroenthusiast. The rug workshop: Where you can see a family workshop, get insights into which dyes are used, and learn the technique of rug-making. Mitla: A fascinating archaeological site of the place that served as the main religious and spiritual center for the Zapotec civilization. There is also a stop for an optional lunch where you can taste many typical Oaxacan dishes. Mezcal distillery: At the end, you finish with a mezcal distillery visit where they explain the production from the plant to the bottle, and conclude the visit by tasting all the mezcales you learned about during the presentation.

Kevin was a great tour...
Kevin was a great tour guide! Very full (but not too taxing or difficult) day tour! Definitely recommend and not surprised it’s the top rated one of these for Oaxaca.

Why this scores 87
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $60 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 Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 87 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 1,166 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour?
+
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 Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour?
+
Around 408 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour 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.
