        BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER! Do not hesitate to book! :) Amazing
        Oscar Jimenez from Top Tours is amazing. We wish we would have known him to transfer us to and from the Airport. For our waterfalls tour, He picked us up at our hotel in his air-conditioned van and he explained so much about the area on our way to the Waterfalls. Such a memorable experience and the waterfalls were Amazing! We always felt safe and he took care of us like family. We also did a boat cruise with him with fishing , snorkeling, lunch and saw turtles, caught fish that the restaurant made into our delicious lunch. Jose our boat Captain was such a great navigator to the different Bays & Beaches. Do not hesitate to book with Oscar for any tours in Huatulco, he does it all! We only wish we would have booked our trip to include November 2nd as they truly celebrate Day of the Dead. Next time! Kathy & Dan from San Diego, CA date of visit October 18-November 1. Thank You for your Hospitality !

        Waterfall experience!
        The tour started off by driving through a beautiful green and lusious forest! Oscar is very knowledgeable about this area, he pointed out special plants along the way, then we took a 2 min walk to the water falls and enjoyed beutiful scenery along with a mud mask facial! After the waterfalls Oscar took us to a wonderful restaurant located a few minutes away from the waterfall, where we experienced a wonderful traditional buffet style of oaxacan food! Overall this tour was wonderful! You get to experience beutiful scenery Along with waterfalls and great food! Highly recommend this tour with Oscar!

        Exceptional
        Amazing day with our family of 8 and Oscar as our guide. Learning the history of the area, visiting villages and experiencing the water falls was truly a highlight of our vacation. Oscar was more than professional and now consider him a part of our family trip. Highly recommend and will use again on our next trip to Huatulco.

        The TOP choice!
        My mom was visiting us in Huatulco and we wanted to show her something different from the beaches and chose a day in and around the Magic Waterfalls. Oscar was our first contact as he is not only local to Huatulco but he lives in the communities around the falls. His experiences and knowledge of the plants and animals of the area, along with being a part of the community you are exploring make him the TOP choice for experiencing the Waterfalls. On the day of our activity, Oscar himself was booked (we booked last minute) but he ensured that we had an excellent guide to drive us and provide the full experience of the day. The driver was safe and courteous and FUN! He stopped or slowed down during the drive to point out different trees, animals or to tell us about some of the history and interesting facts; to pick some fresh fruit so we could try it (Mangoes, plums and star fruit are all in season right now). Approximately 2/3 of the way to the falls, we stopped in a small village to learn about some of the ways in which plants are used for medicinal purposes and to sample some local made chocolate, mezcal, lotions and even honey! The Waterfalls part of the day is spectacular. You hike a beautiful trail along the river side (not strenuous but has some large "Steps" and uneven ground to navigate) and stop at a couple of different spots along the way to cool down and try different activities like rope swings, water massages etc. At the end of the trail you reach "Magic Falls" where we were safely guided through the cave and to the different pools. When we had had our share of fun and relaxation, we made our way to another small town to have a delicious meal and learn about the coffee production in the area. This is a spectacular day and with the road in to the falls mostly being paved, it is a much quicker trip in which allows for more time exploring the different falls and the communities. Also, I feel it is important to note that another reason we chose Oscar for this activity is that we have witnessed how he 'Gives Back' to the community. He donates his services for fundraisers like the Huatulco Foodbanks Giving from the Heart fundraiser and also donated his time and supplies to helping get the recent forest fires under control. Oscar is a wonderful person and an excellent tour operator! There is a reason he is Huatulco Top Tours!

        Amazing Tour and Tour guide
        Oscar truly made our trip to the cascadas mágicas unforgettable! From the delicious coffee, mouthwatering black mole, to the succulent pork in tamarindo sauce prepared by local culinary gurus, every moment was a delight. Can not forget the Mezcal tasting. But the hospitality of the locals was indeed the cherry on top! Oscar's hospitality and attention to detail, like fetching mangoes from his own tree and safeguarding my fake lashes from the strong waterfall mist 😂 just shows his dedication to our comfort. A big thank you to Oscar for an amazing experience!

        Capt. Alex & Oscar’s Top Notch Fishing Experience
        Went on a 6 hr fishing trip on a panga boat. Had the experience of seeing sail fish jumping, tons of sea turtles and pods and pods of dolphins with some leaping 3 to 4 metres out of the water. Best of all, we got into some billfish starting with seeing a Marlin just floating on the surface. Following that, losing a leaping sailfish, then getting one to the boat. As we decided to make our way to deeper water, we hit a Marlin but as it jumped out of the water, it shook the hook. Oh well. Captain Alex’s natural fishfinding skills pointed us to birds and dolphins, which is where the yellowfin tuna were. Within minutes, my son reeled in a nice looking Tuna. While circling in the school, it was my turn as the rod went buzzing. After grabbing the rod, the Marlin jumped out of the water and we knew the fight was on. I was able to successfully bring aboard the Marlin after a hard fought battle between man and fish. What an experience! I have sore arms still a day later. Highly recommend!

        Oscar is the best - especially with kids!
        I went on the waterfall tour as well as a boat tour with Oscar - we were a group of 5 moms & 9 kids & Oscar went about & beyond to make sure everyone had a wonderful time. A tour with Oscar is well worth it!

        Oscar and Top Tours Hualtulco are the absolute best!
        An excellent full day tour from start to finish. Along the way we stopped at Santa Maria Hualtulco to take in the charming square and historic church and made our way to Pluma Hildalgo for coffee tasting and a tour of a 4th generation owned coffee finca. We saw the process of nurturing the seeds to plants and got to see other beautiful flora grown in amongst the coffee bushes. The lunch of sopes and hibiscus juice provided by the family was absolutely delicious and plentiful. Oscar is a wonderful tour guide and ambassador for the area and is happy to share his vast knowledge with guests. Last year we did a tour with him to the bays and it was equally amazing. We loved everything about both tours. Take one, or all, you will not be disappointed.

        Amazing! Highly, highly recommend. Oscar is your guy!
        We had the pleasure of touring beautiful Huatulco with Oscar and Top Tours Huatulco. From pre-planing communication, airport pick up/drop off, an amazing 7 Bay Yacht Tour (complete with our own snorkel guide), and an amazing day at the Cascadas Magicas de Copalitilla (Magic Falls), Oscar and his team were fantastic. Oscar is honest, reliable and very knowledgeable about the area and truly cares about the people and the environment. His van is comfortable, he’s an excellent driver and we felt safe at all times. Oscar speaks English perfectly and was so much fun to be around. You will not be disappointed when choosing Oscar as your guide to everything Huatulco!

        Oscar is a wonderful guide and will provide an amazing experience
        We are so glad we took this tour with Oscar. He is a great conversationalist (in both Spanish and English) that made the drive seem much shorter than it was from La Crucecita. Oscar was very accommodating of our family and gave the kids and us parents a great time. Highly recommended!

        Great day at magic falls.
        We had a fantastic day with Oscar on a tour to magic falls. He picked us up at our hotels front lobby and immediately started telling us all about the area. He took us to several beautiful spots along the falls where we were able to swim and jump in. He took lots of photos of us and sent them to us afterwards. We always felt safe and taken care of, and always had a place to stow our belongings. Oscar was honest and trustworthy. We would definitely recommend him to friends and return to take another tour on our next trip!

        Absolute fantastic day!
        This was the absolute most wonderful tour I have ever taken. Oscar was fantastic. He spoke perfect English, explained so much of the culture. I had a small fear inside the cave, but he had so much understanding, and patience, and guidance. Put me to ease. The falls are so beautiful, the food at the end of the tour was terrific. I didn't bring my phone to take pictures, but Oscar was more than happy to take for us. Sent us them by end of evening! Highly Recommend!! Thank you Oscar! Hope to see you next year!!

        Magical Waterfalls Tour
        Magical Waterfalls Tour We visited the waterfalls today with Oscar and were treated to many fantastic sights. The waterfalls were wonderful, the water is very refreshing, certainly not so cold that would stop you from going in for a splash. Oscar provided much commentary along the way, sharing his knowledge of the area. That being said, the icing on the top was lunch. Oscar took us to a restaurant to experience local cuisine, simple food, but prepared with care resulting in a culinary experience that few could duplicate. Wow, is really all I can say. Thank you Oscar for a great day!

        You can count on Oscar!!
        Oscar is THE BEST! We booked him for airport pickup where he greeted us warmly with cold beers and a big smile! We scheduled a bay tour by boat but due to rough waters had to get creative. He graciously helped us to come up with an alternative plan and took us into La Crucecita for some shopping, La Entrega for awesome snorkeling (he even went out with us to show us the best spots and pointed out the different fish!), Bahia Maguey for lunch and then Playa Bocana for mud baths. Oscar is so knowledgeable of the area and clearly has a passion for welcoming visitors. We will absolutely book through him again when we come back!
