Excellent tour and guide (Reno)
Our original tour was undersubscribed and so we were contacted to see if we’d like to go on another tour which was cheaper (300 Pesos each) and visited more places. Reno our driver made good contact before arriving and was outstanding throughout the day. He spoke excellent English to translate for us and also was very good with the Spanish-speaking clients as well. This coupled with a lovely personality and a good sense of humour meant that the day with him was most enjoyable. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the mezcal tasting, rug making, the world’s largest tree and the petrified waterfalls. We also stopped on route for an all-inclusive buffet (I’m not normally a fan) which was quite outstanding for 200 Pesos pp with lots of variety and excellent quality. The entrance to places was on top, but I still felt that this was excellent value for money. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your experience with us! We are very happy to hear that, despite the change in the original itinerary, the proposed alternative exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the wide variety of wonders that Oaxaca has to offer. We are proud to have people like Reno on our team. We will pass on your compliments about his excellent command of the language, his sense of humor, and his ability to make all our visitors feel included and well cared for. We are delighted that you enjoyed the buffet selection and the visits to the Tule Tree, Teotitlán, and Hierve el Agua. We greatly appreciate your comments on the value for money, as we strive to offer authentic and complete experiences. It was a pleasure to accompany you and we look forward to welcoming you back on your next visit!

It was ok. There is...
It was ok. There is really no waterfalls because it is dry but the place is beautiful. We requested for English speaking but the driver doesn’t speak English at all.

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters cost?
+
Prices start at $1500 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 Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 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 Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters?
+
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 Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters?
+
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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Magic Experience in Oaxaca | Waterfalls & Turquoise Waters 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.
