If You Want to Try Some New and Different Mexican Cocktails - MaryRose is an amazing guide! I’ve never experienced a tour like this! She takes you to five different locales with five different specialty cocktails-all incredible! Mezcal, which seems to be the favorite local libation of Oaxaca, was nothing like I had experienced before. Earthy and delicious! Tip-these are not drinks to be thrown back but to be savored and enjoyed. The layers of flavors are delightful! And MaryRose is too! She is so open to helping first timers and is full of fun advice for the area and really all of Oaxaca and the region. Experience this! You won’t be disappointed!

Great experience - We had never been on an experience quite like Sips and Smiles. Our host Maryrose is one of the most personable people we have met. We visited 5 destinations which consisted of bars, restaurants and a mezcalaria and sipped six cocktails that a Oaxacan mixologist created just for this tour followed by a mezcal tasting. Our drinks were served in beautiful and colorful etched glasses made her in Mexico. Each drink was like receiving a little gift. Maryrose answered any questions that we had about the local area and shared great tips for the remainder of our stay. Maryrose gave a gift of the cocktail recipe cards to take home. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Huatulco.

Great experience in Huatulco - Great experience, especially if you consider yourself a bit a mixologist. If you like cocktails this is your tour. The mezcal tasting was a very enlightening experience as we never heard of this alcohol. Thankfully the drinks are served in half portions so you can keep sipping and smiling. Thank you MR.

I wish I could follow Siping & Smiling. - Whoever thought of the name "Sips and Smiles" had the perfect idea for this cocktail experience. I took a group of four and it was great. Of the drinks we tried, I knew only two of the most popular. (It is always good to try and develop your palate.) Maryrose, our Super Guide, welcomed us with gift bags in case we got hungry, and had trivia questions for us at each stop, which made the evening even more fun. And the drinks weren't bad either. Ha, ha, ha. If you want a different and pleasant experience from start to finish, this is the tour for you.

Have some fun - Maryrose was an excellent host! I felt like I was spending time with a friend. She knew the ins and outs of the area, the good restaurants, the unique cocktails, and had a good repore with locals. she took me to some unique places, a cool roof top cafe/bar, an off the beaten path bar that was completely unique, and to some of the popular restauranys as well. I had some really good guacamole and some tasty cocktails. Maryrose also helped me coordinate the rest of the time here and was willing to be a person of contact while I was there.
