Great for learning how to experience mezcal
Rodrigo was a great tour guide, as were the guys who explained the mezcal at each tasting room. I had some mezcal knowledge coming in, but I learned even more & had some excellent mezcals along the way
Response from the operator: Hi there, Thank you so much for your review! 🌿 We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the mezcal tour and had the chance to learn more about mezcal while tasting some excellent selections. 🥂 We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Oaxaca for another Etnofood experience soon! Warm regards, The Etnofood Team

Not what was advertised.
First, my guide was great. Knowledgeable and friendly. I don’t hold him responsible. The web site clearly states you will visit 3 mezcalerias. I know a fair amount about Mezcal and specifically signed up for this tour in order to try different brands in different locations. To my shock, the first two were closed and we ended up, after a very long walk, going to just the final one. We only tasted one brand (4 tastings) which just happened to be the brand of the company. At no time did I hear an apology or even acknowledgement that the tour had condensed dramatically. I would have thought they would have a back up plan of other mezcalerias or at least checked in advance that the places would be open. Very disappointing. Not at all what I paid for.

Must Do If You Love Mezcal
Fantastic tour and something you should really consider doing. They take the time to explain how the mescal is grown and distilled, and most importantly how best to drink it. you go to some really incredible Mezcal bars and we ended an incredible mezcal cocktail.
Response from the operator: Hi Héctor, Thank you so much for sharing your kind words with us! 🌿✨ We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed learning about the mezcal process and discovering some of Oaxaca’s incredible mezcal bars. It makes us very happy to know the cocktail at the end was the perfect closing touch. 🥂 We hope to welcome you again soon for another experience with Etnofood. Warm regards, The Etnofood Team

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour of Mezcalerias in the City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Tour of Mezcalerias in the City 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 Tour of Mezcalerias in the City take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Tour of Mezcalerias in the City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 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 Tour of Mezcalerias in the City?
+
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 Tour of Mezcalerias in the City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour of Mezcalerias in the City?
+
Around 1 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour of Mezcalerias in the City 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.
