Notified me about the hierve el agua being closed and substituted a mezcal tour, but didn't say anything about el tule being closed also until he was asked during the tour. Probably spent 2 hours at gift shops because there's nothing to do. I felt I was tricked into this tour. Tour guide had very poor English, he would spend 5 mins talking about something in spanish then speak English for 20 secs. Terrible experience.

My friend and I booked a tour to San Jose with Orlando. He told us that we would have a bilingual tour guide and we would have 2 excursions included. We were picked up for the tour on time. The tour guide barely spoke English but was very nice. We enjoyed the 3 hour ride to San Jose in a nice van. When we arrived we asked what time the first excursion began. At this point we were told that NO excursions were included. We called Orlando and the company directly, both were not cooperative. Orlando said if we wanted our money back we would have to return in the van right then. Obviously we weren't interested in turning around for another 3 hour ride. I have diligently tried since returning to communicate with the company so they would return some of the money that we paid them. Orlando required cash and collected 3500 pesos. Which is roughly $175. We paid $175 for a one way van ride. For comparison, if you ride in one of the local vans with other people it costs $7 per person. We were definitely scammed. And they promoted their great reviews on Tripadvisor.

On our trip to Oaxaca we we're very fortunate to find Balam and the Mexplorer Adventures! He really made our trip special! He took us to Monte Alban one day on a private tour. Balam's Depth of knowledge about history and culture and his ability to be genuine are un matched! By far the best tour guide We've ever had! We liked him so much we did a second tour to a Pulqueria! SO MUCH FUN! We HIGHLY recommend them and will be booking with them for Dia de Muertos in November! Thank you Balam for such a great time..... Annetta and Jim. :)

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....

Trip to Monte Alban, included stops at a historic church ruin, and a traditional food. While each stop was excellent in itself, the tour guide made this a wonderful experience. He is both knowledgeable and passionate about Oaxaca history and answered our endless question with enthusiasm.
