Top Oaxaca Overnight Tours

What a tour! Our guide Jose V. was fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable about historical sights, sincere, and paid close attention to us.He paid attention to details which made our trip interesting and fun.Like sharing great photo opportunities, staying with us until we were checked in at our overnight hotel ( which was really nice- exceptional breakfast and pool) and helping us order at meals. We will treasure the memories we made on this tour always

Wonderful two days, getting to know the history and culture of Oaxaca. Our guide Edelmira gave us a lot of information about the Zapotec culture. She was also kind and caring as we are seniors and we had some mobility issues. Highly recommend this two day trip for first time visitors to Oaxaca.

Awesome time with Ivan - he really takes care of everything and provides a seamless experience. Our camp was set up, very comfortable, super clean, and had everything we needed. Having clean bathrooms right next to the campground was a huge plus. Fun hike with a rewarding swim to end (definitely bring your bathing suit even if you’re not typically a water person - you’ll want to jump in). Incredible home cooked meals and market experience as well - def a highlight. Highly recommend

This was a fantastic experience. Ivan made it easy from the pickup to drop off. We had great dinner at a local place, tents were comfortable and the sunrise experience with no other people around was just special. The hike, the trip back and the stop at the Sunday market made the visit even more fun. All in all, if you want to try a small group experience with very few to no people around and are excited to catch a sunrise, highly recommend this trip with Ivan.

Overnight tour The road from Huatulco to Escondido is under construction and not for the faint of heart but our guide Victor handled all driving like a pro safely and comfortably for tourist. Day one included a long drive a meal of local cuisine. Victor was a wealth of information and the tours to the ruins of mitla abejedes of St Martin. The mercado at Ocotlán were world class. As good as or better than any we did in Europe. We visited the tulle tree where for a small donation we were given a comprehensive tour by a young girl practicing her English We arrived at our hotel which was small but clean and friendly around 7 pm. We self explored the area which included cathedrals a few street markets. A long street of Christmas decorations and celebrations. This was about 1.5 hours then we went to sleep. We got up early the hotel had a nice breakfast menu and coffee. We then self explored the city Centro square more celebration settings up and a manado just opening. We met our guide victor at 9 am at the hotel and began day 2. We saw black clay pottery making. Mezcal making , Monte alban ruins Victor again was amazing in his knowledge and also in problem solving. The tours were well worth the trip. The new highway had many areas of one way traffic and land slides. Because it turned out that we were only two of us we were able to make choices on where we spent time at Victor gave many suggestions and other options of areas of interest as we went along. We ended up getting back to hotel in Huatulco later than expected due to the highway 200 construction

Our tour guide was Jose Ventura, he was so knowledgeable about the history of each town that we visited. He went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable! We ended our tour feeling like Jose was part of our family!

I did the trip from Huatulco area, which is three and a half hours from Oaxaca, but it was well worthed. Monte Alban's pyramid ruins is one of the highlights of the trip, it seats on top of a mountain, overlooking at the city of Oaxaca. The many cathedrals, zocalo square, and authentic food was very nice as well. The only thing to be aware of, is the tour "hierve el agua", which was included in the package when I bought it but the tour company in Mexico claimed that they were not doing it anymore and that it was included by mistake because their website was not updated. Luckly my tour guide "Gonzalo Giovani" was an excellent guide and made it happen us. It is a magnificent place to observe nature, relax in the pools and do some hiking if times allows.

I loved the tours, the guide Edelmira, and the drivers Ramses and Edi Garcia were very careful and friendly. For those who like to learn about history and walk, I highly recommend!

This was our 2nd time in Huatulco, Oaxaca & really wanted to visit the city. The drive is worth it! Be ready for a curvy drive through the mountains with beautiful views! The stop at San Jose de Pacifico was really a coffee stop but super cute! From there another 3 hours before arriving to the city. Oaxaca City is colorful, beautiful, & rich in history. Since it was only my husband and I , our time was flexible in regard to what we wanted to explore. The Hotel Helena was small but so nice & clean with friendly staff. Definitely take a stroll in the evening, enjoy a coffee, or dinner with mezcal drink! The archaeological sites are more than I could have expected! Rich in history and simply beautiful! Then, the Mezcal tasting was phenomenal! That’s a learn how it’s made and learned about quality. We also truly enjoyed the Artisanal shop. They were we had the opportunity to see how traditional craft is made and all the hard work put into their products. The family owned business was welcoming, kind, and did not pressure us into purchasing any items. However, I could not resist the beauty purchased a few souvenirs. El Tule is a majestic sight to see. Settled in a cute town with favorite flowers and wonderful people. Due to having to return to our hotel for Covid testing, we unfortunately had to cancel one stuff but hope to return and explore Hierve El Agua. Overall, despite loving the whole Experience, I would have appreciated an extra day in the city. The exploring Felt rushed and the reality is that the long drive can and very likely will tire anyone! But it is absolutely worth it! Our guide and Driver, Benjamin Castro, was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and flexible with any adjustments we needed to make. He has great driving skills and I had to go off to him for getting us there and back safely. He also made recommendations along the way for various stops, things to see, or food to try. We are very lucky to have him with us throughout our overnight stay. Altogether, I definitely recommend this trip and make sure to take your camera!

We were picked up from our Airbnb on time both days. We had a wonderful tour guide, Emeterio, who speaks English and Spanish. Emeterio explained the rich history of Monte Alban and always answered our questions. This 2 day tour was fun and we were able to buy Handmade crafts from the villages we stopped in. We recommend this tour and Emeterio as the tour guide.

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.

My husband and I went on this tour with another couple and we all enjoyed it immensely. While the drive is long, it's definitely worth it. Our tour guide, Karla, was fantastic. She spoke very good english and reviewed the rich history within the area. She took the time to translate for us and also took some wonderful photos of us during the tour. Our driver, Antonio, was also great and very friendly. He handled the drive wonderfully.It's important to note that the drive can induce motion sickness. I'm not particular prone to motion sickness, but elected to take a long acting Gravol prior to the trip and I'm glad I did. It's a very curvy, hilly road with a lot of hairpin turns so be prepared!Our first stop was at a restaurant in San Jose del Pacifico. The mountain view was breathtaking. We enjoyed a hot cup of coffee which I definitely needed to warm up. Ensure you take a light jacket/sweater for this tour as it is cooler in the mountains, especially in the morning (approximately 12 degrees Celsius).Next we visited San Bartolo for a brief lesson on how black clay pottery is made at Alfareria Dona Rosa. Very beautiful and detailed pottery pieces can be seen and purchased here. Following this, we headed to the ruins of Monte Alban which was the highlight of our visit. We spent approximately 90 minutes here which was an adequate amount of time. It's important to note that upon our arrival here it was quite hot and sunny so ensure you pack the sunscreen and a hat.Eventually we headed to Oaxaca City and checked into our hotel for the night. The hotel (Sta. Helena Plaza) was very nice, quiet, clean and comfortable. Once checked in, we began exploring the city. Karla led us through the busy downtown area where we did a lot of sightseeing, shopping and, of course, eating and drinking. Karla helped translate the food menu and even reviewed the type of cuisine that Oaxaca is famous for, such as the tlayuda (or as Karla nicknamed it, "Oaxacan Pizza").The next morning we visited El Tule -- the largest and oldest tree in Oaxaca City. And when they say large, they mean large! I was shocked by its size. We then drove to Teotitlan del Valle and visited Dixza Rugs and Organic Farm for a demonstration of the making of hand-woven wool rugs. The amount of work and talent that goes into making these beautiful rugs is outstanding.Our last stop before heading back to Huatulco was another ruins site called Mitla. While it is a fraction of the size of Monte Alban, it was still just as extraordinary.Overall, this excursion was remarkable and we are so glad we did it. Thanks so much for the great experience, Karla and Antonio!

Oaxaca is a wonderful City our tour guides Victor and Jose took us on a very speacial trip we saw tapestry , wood carvings,how Mezcal is made, did an amazing church tour and saw Mitla ruins very impressive and went to the incredible Monte Alban archeological site ( amazing) Such a colourful city Well worth the expertly guided tour Thank you

This two-day tour from Huatulco to Oaxaca was absolutely incredible and far exceeded our expectations! Our guide, José, was phenomenal — knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. He took the time to explain the history, culture, and traditions of every destination, giving us a deep appreciation for Oaxaca and its people.We explored archaeological sites, passed through breathtaking mountain scenery, and visited beautiful towns, each known for its own unique crafts and trades. Every stop was thoughtfully chosen, allowing us to truly experience the essence of the region rather than just sightseeing.The food was another highlight — authentic Oaxacan cuisine that gave us a real taste of local flavors. And just when we thought the trip couldn’t get any better, José surprised us with one of the most magical moments of our lives: witnessing hundreds, if not thousands, of sea turtles coming ashore at sunset to lay their eggs. It was absolutely mesmerizing and something we will never forget.This is not your typical resort excursion — it’s for travelers who want to immerse themselves in culture, history, and nature. Yes, the journey is long, but every mile is worth it. By the end, you’ll leave with a full heart and unforgettable memories.Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in Oaxaca!

I had gone to Hierve el agua before, but not like this! This was without a doubt a once in a lifetime experience! We got to do a night hike and swim, all by ourselves, in the natural pools (where the water was a very confortable temperature). The stars, the local dogs walking with us the whole way and the sound of nature all made it a wonderful night! However, the icing on the cake was definitely the sunrise! Again, the whole place to ourselves, and we got to see the sun giving its red and orange colors to the clear blue sky and reflecting them on the natural pools! Truly a unique experience, all thanks to our expert host Ivan! I would 100% recommend this tour!

I consider this experience unique since it never I had the opportunity before to meet Boil the water and even more, camping on the site. The truth all came out amazing, from the start with instructions clear which inputs to carry, schedules of activities, etc. Yeah. during the beginning of the experience transport perfect, much communication and trust; Get to the place have a place to camp, you They lend the tent and the excellent sleeping bags and of good quality, it was not cold or discomfort. The 10/10 night walk, have somewhere to dine and breakfast, personal spaces and services of the place, see an amazing sunrise, a walk with great scenery, a time in the pools to enjoy swimming and taking pictures, and a I'm back without a hitch. Recommended for who would like to live a better experience in Boil the water, Oaxaca. Thank you since I I encourage more trips like this.
