Excellent tour! Josa was our guide, and he was just AMAZING. We went with older adults and they were so accommodating. Highly recommended!!!

This was a great route from start to finish. The communication and coordination with Orlando beforehand was very quick, and they modified the tour to suit our agenda. They picked us up on time, the van had plenty of room for all of us. Our guide spoke perfect English, and was very knowledgeable about the culture, history, customs of Oaxaca, and made sure that we were happy with our experience, and catering to our desires. We will be touring with them again!!

Juan was an amazing tour guide for the Artisan Villages tour! He’s very knowledgeable about and familiar with the different artists in the area and he allowed us to tailor our stops to the ones we most wanted to see. His recommendations really made the tour exceptional! We started at the Workshop of Jacobo and Maria Angeles where artisans were working on colorful alebrijes, we saw beautiful ceramic ware and other art pieces. We were even shown how natural dyes are made, and our Protector animal and birth year animal were looked up from a chart. Next stop was another workshop - “An Inspiration of My Life” where artisan and proprietor, Victor Ortega, welcomed us with incense and a taste of his family’s mezcal. Here we saw alebrijes decorated with the natural dyes as well as more colorful alebrijes and other beautifully detailed painted pieces. After this, a stop at the workshop of Jose Garcia Antonio who is known around the world for his sculptures in spite of loosing his eyesight nearly 20 years ago. We were so fortunate to find the artist and his wife in the studio and they were very generous in taking time out to chat and take pictures with us. On to a community weaving center where local women and men were weaving their craft on blackstrap looms. Juan asked if I could give the loom a try and I was able to weave a couple rows myself - it is definitely not as easy as these professionals make it look! So much sightseeing needs replenishment so a delicious lunch at ‘la Cocina de Frida’ in Octolan de Morelos market where Dona Beatriz Vazquez graciously took pictures with us. The day was filled with many extraordinary moments for us and I can credit our guide Juan for these once in a lifetime opportunities. Thank you 😊.

This tour is a must! Alex was an amazing guide and showed us the best craft scenes Oaxaca had to offer.

Gregorio made our trip to Oaxaca so much more enjoyable. Besides being an outstanding individual, the day that we spent with him was something we will always remember. From his personal stories to his knowledge of the region, it was an action packed day beginning with an early morning visit to the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua about an hour outside of Oaxaca. Thanks to our 6 AM start, we beat all the crowds and even entrance fees. Afterwards, we stopped in the nearby village for a breakfast in a tiny place with excellent food at an unbelievably cheap price. Just to give you an Idea of how nice a guy Gregorio is, he brought a pair of shoes with him to give to someone in the village that was in need. Then off to Mitla to visit the ruins and to do a little shopping. Interesting ruins but they don't compare to Monte Albon. Next we visited a Mezcal distillery and a nearby rug weaver; both were amazing. We started to wind down in Tule where we visited the worlds oldest tree (supposedly). Our only regret is that we didn't spend a second day with Gregorio. Highly recommended.

Our guide Gregorio made our recent trip to Oaxaca a most wonderful experience. Well spoken, funny, down to earth and open hearted, he was simply the best possible guide imaginable. Five stars plus. He knew the valley, the mountains, the people, the places and took our party of four to see the artisans he knew and admired in the valley. These weavers, ceramacists, Alebrije carvers and paper makers are people he knows well. With humble pride, he spoke of his family and his country. The meals were the best and the artesanship the finest. We felt so lucky to have him at the helm of our trips outside the city. I highly recommend Gregorio to anyone who visits Oaxaca. My hope is I will be able to cruise the countryside with him again and again....

This was the tour of a lifetime. Our guide, Victor shared the history which was amazing. Visiting all of the artisans and watching them work was so very interesting. We were a group of 13 with 2 children and loved every minute. I would highly recommend this tour.

they switched the days at the last minute. hierve al agua became the first day, and i didn't have my swim clothes. :( the tour guide this day was great though. the second day was to monte alban, but the guide didn't speak english (english tour). he randomly found an english tour and told me to join. the people in the spanish group joined a spanish tour and there were at least 40 people in that group even though the description says it is semi-private with usually less than 14 people. i skipped the rest of the tour and just stayed at monte alban then took a cab back to oaxaca.

It was an awesome experience, our guide was so knowledgeable, we couldn’t be happier. I highly recommended
