    Amazing Experience with Beautiful Views

    First, our guide Alejandro was fantastic and very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the indigenous people who live there. We had a great time visiting the ruins at Mitla, which are some of the best preserved I’ve seen. The intricate geometric patterns and placement of the structure will astound you. Weavers Town was so educational and entertaining. We learned so much about how natural dyes are made and then applied to yarns to create the plethora of colors used in their products. The painstaking process is very impressive and we purchased a few things at their shop that we will treasure forever. Hierve el Agua is an amazing sight to behold and there are so many photographic opportunities with tons of lookout points along the trials. Hint: Take the longer trail if you can. It’s difficult, but we’ll work the effort for the views you will be rewarded with. Cheers!

    Incredible local tour guide - made for female solo traveler

    I can’t recommend Kevin enough—truly the best guide a girl could ask for. From the moment we started, he was incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely hospitable. He constantly went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable, always asking if I wanted photos (and happily taking them), and even offering to hold my purse so I could fully enjoy the experience without worrying about anything. Beyond that, Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and brought Oaxaca to life in such an engaging, thoughtful way. As a solo female traveler, I felt completely safe and at ease the entire time, which meant a lot. His attention to detail and care didn’t go unnoticed—he was always one step ahead, making sure everything was smooth and enjoyable. I ended up booking him again for the following day, which says everything. If you’re looking for someone who is not only informative but also genuinely kind, attentive, and willing to go above and beyond, Kevin is your person.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for all the details you shared with us about the way you feel being a person who travel to many places and you feel comfortable here touring around, is important to know you had a great time being a solo traveler I hope you come back and we can help you again to discover other places

    Unforgettable Experience

    My friend and I had the pleasure of two amazing days with Kevin our tour guide. He isn't simply a driver to bring you from place to place. This amazing man took the time to help us connect with the people from various regions across Oaxaca. I feel like I have a grasp on what it means to be a Oaxaquena thanks to him. We had the pleasure of meeting multiple very small ancestral mezcal producers, finding out our spirit animals (chameleon/monkey), enjoying great bites, increase our knowledge of the area, practice our Spanish, and most importantly share great laughs along the way. Kevin didn't leave anything on the court and he deserves the best in life. I wouldn't think twice about booking tours with these guys. Definitely ask for Kevin though!

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your comments We make an effort to have an idea about what you are interested for and in the last moment when we can meet you we get the opportunity to personalize the tour according to your interest, I'm happy that you have had a great time with Kevin he is a Really nice Guy

    Exceptional tour!

    Our private tour with Kevin was outstanding. After he self-taught himself English, he started giving tours. For a guide in his first month, he provided us with an excellent tour. He was extremely knowledgeable and very attentive to our needs. The ruins at Mitla were very interesting and the Tule Tree with its surrounding gardens was spectacular. Mario’s explanation and demonstration of Zapotec weaving was one of the best we have heard about dying wool. Over the years, we have had tours by many guides, Kevin’s accomplishment this early in his career is amazing.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for your comments, it is important for us to know that you feel confortable with our guides/friends who make an effort to make your visit special. We hope to see you again soon

    The best tours I enjoy for my husband, we are from California. Thank you for the kindness and knowledge and availability of the guide Jairo Hurtado. Thank you.

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por su visita, el tiempo que compartieron con nosotros y la oportunidad de enseñarles parte de los atractivos de Oaxaca en un honor poder acompañarlos en este viaje. Nos vemos pronto

    Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5000 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 Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 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 Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua?

    +

    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 Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua?

    +

    Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private tour Mitla, Weavers town, Mezcal and Hierve el Agua 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.
