Jorge and Yesenia (Jessie) made our tour come to life!

Our driver Jorge was a wealth of knowledge and also from Oaxaca. He was a great storyteller and made us feel at home. Yesenia (Jessie) provided us with so much history and cultural relevance throughout our tour. She allowed us to explore each stop to our liking and answered all 1,000 questions we had. I would highly recommend taking this tour and, if you can, get Jorge and Yesenia! They were an amazing team that allowed us a beautiful day!

Best Tour!

This was the absolute best thing we did in all of Mexico. We had the best day. Mizael was the best guide and Jorge was so helpful setting up the tour. We found the price perfect for the full day of activities and tours. We would do a tour with Mexico Kan tours again!

Misael was a fantastic guide, full of info and interested in chatting and answering our questions. The tour was a great way to see the sites and I would recommend it to anyone interested in an easy and enjoyable way to experience some highlights of Oaxaca. If you love nature you must visit the tule tree, it is incredible!
