Awesome day. The textile...
Awesome day. The textile experience was at a family operation and went through all the steps that were handed down from generation to generation.

Irwin is the guide and...
Irwin is the guide and organiser of this tour. As I was the only person - indeed he would go even if I was the only one in the tour - I had a lot of informative conversations with him while he drove us to all the points of interest. Compared to the other tours I feel this one has a high personal touch.
Response from the operator: Sid! Thnk you so much for all. I really enjoyed the adventure with you and I think now we are friends :)

One of the Best Tours Anywhere!
This was an excellent day trip! The entire day exceeded our expectations. Our guide Irvin was a knowledgeable local with perfect English. We started by visiting a traditional weaving family in Teotilán del Valle. As an avid knitter, I really enjoyed learning how the weaver went from taking raw wool from a nearby pueblo to washing it in a basket with a native root, carding it, dyeing it with natural plants and minerals, to weaving beautiful rugs and wall hangings. I tried my hand at spinning the wool into yarn and can really appreciate the skill and the expertise of the weaver! My non-knitting husband also found the whole process very engaging. Our next stop was a palenque, where we learned about the various types of agave plants used in making mezcal, to seeing the steps involved in the making the final product. Of course, we then tasted various blends and purchased some to take home. Afterwards, the tour included lunch at the pelanque. The third stop was at the market in Tlacolula de Matamoros. We tasted (and purchased) some Chapulines, then we moved on to a tasting of delicious Tejate. Afterwards, we had some local bread with cinnamon and raisins. We were there on a Thursday, and we appreciated that it wasn't as busy as it would be on a Sunday. Our final stop was Irvin's hometown of Mitla, where we met his delightful mother in her clothing store and had a tour of the town. It was such a great day...we highly recommend this day trip!
Response from the operator: Rachelle! Thank you so much for all. I really had a such day with great people like you and your husband ! I hope see you soon!

The Best Food & Culture Tour in Oaxaca
This was my favorite tour in Oaxaca! Irvin’s passion is contagious and it was so much fun experiencing food, mezcal and cultural traditions with his friends and family. So enjoyable I booked a follow-up tour with his cousin Cesar to visit caves near Mitla.
Response from the operator: Amiga! muchas gracias por visitarnos y hacer dos aventuras juntas! Nos vemos pronto!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles 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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles?
+
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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles 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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles?
+
Around 3 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 One Day Trip of Mezcal Tlayudas and Textiles 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.
