Good vibes and great experience! - Everything was amazing!!! Our driver Felix was on time and so very kind and informative! We initially had a different trip booked but the team accommodated a change in activities which we very much appreciated. When we got to Monte Albán Tony was our guide and he was so knowledgeable on it. Sharing so much background it really helped embrace the culture! Hierve el agua was my favorite! The views were immaculate!! Felix also took us to eat some traditional Oaxacan food. Afterward we took a tour to see how mezcal was made and got to try it! We then went to a textile shop it was amazing to hear the process of how the fabric is made! Overall great experience!!! Do not hesitate to book with them they treat you like family!

Great Full Day Hierve el Aqua Tour with Jesus as our driver - We had a wonderful day with our driver, Jesus. He was very knowledgeable, hospitable and has friends everywhere we went. Being a private tour, he was able to be flexible so we were never rushed and still had time to enjoy all the sites. He even went out of his way to return my glasses I left in his car to where were staying, which I'm certain was inconvenient. The service and communication from Oaxaca Conmigo Tours couldn't have been better.

We would definitely recommend con migo! They have a clear vision and mission. This was an exceptional experience! - We loved this tour! We had looked at other less expensive tours but appreciate that conmigo pays all the site hosts and guides fair wages. They took us to meet real people and not to the overcrowded tourist sites. We left early and were swimming at Hierve El Agua on our own. Seeing the place without any crowds was magical. Our guide, Jesus was super informative, fun, enthusiastic and personable. It was the best day of our trip. We saw so much and felt authentically immersed in the culture! Well worth the cost!!

Great Tour of Hierve El Aque, Mitla, Teotitlán del Valle and Tule Tree. - We organized a tour with Antonio from Oaxaca with Me Tours. Antonio was great. He was easy to communicate with and his english was excellent. The transportation (very new Ford SUV) was very comfortable. The tour went exactly as planned and he very strategically planned it to avoid the crowds. We learned a lot about the history of the area and enjoyed Antonio's insights and stories. I would highly recommend Antonio and "Oaxaca With Me Tours".

Full day tour with Ismael - I just got back from a full day tour with Ismael at conmigo. It was a great mix of activities: hiking, archeological site, mezcal pelanque, the great tree and natural Zapotec weavers. Ismael has been guiding tour groups for 5 years and is a native Oaxacan. He has a lot of knowledge about the area, and had good relationships with the tour guides at each site, making the experience richer. He can easily modify your trip on the fly and even knew the best coffee and lunch stops along the way. He picked me up at my place, and was a pleasure to hang out with all day. Super professional, and wonderful experience. Can't recommend him enough.
