Seamless and comfortable experience. Driver was very professional, showed up on time, was a great driver. Knew exactly where to stop / suggested where to take a break. Felt very safe and got from Oaxaca City to the beach super quick. Def recommend.
Driver was waiting with name sign. Comfortable vehicle and driver very nice. Can’t fault the experience at all. Would use again.
We booked the trip on line the day before the trip and included our pickup address and were given the dollar amount which we paid for an 11:00 am pick-up. The morning of the trip I got a Whats App message from Ariana from Oaxaca Travel. She said our pickup address was going to require and additional fee since we were not in Centro although our address said we were. We ended up taking a cab 5 blocks to a spot where she said we could meet our driver. The driver was there and was very professional getting us from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. The miscommunication over the fare was concerning.
Easy and comfortable transport from Oaxaca city to Puerto Escondido. Communication was clear and pro-active the day before departure. Driver was punctual and car was clean and comfortable.
Smooth car ride with new Volkswagen Jetta, air conditioning, and ability to connect phone to car to play music. Halfway stop for bathroom
Very comfortable drive from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. We were picked up on time and arrived ahead of schedule.
Excellent service, excellent driver Oscar Uriel. He was on time, safe driver and explaining things about Oaxaca on our drive to Puerto Escondido. We enjoyed the smooth drive.
Sebastian was a great driver. The highway between Oaxaca and Puerto Escondido still has some areas under construction so be prepared but overall a great trip. Nice car, air conditioned and awesome service.
Marcos was an excellent driver. He was professional and got us to our destination safely. This is a great service. Thank you!
This was a great way to travel privately from Oaxaca City to Puerto Escondido. Our driver, Ramses (no doubt spelled wrong) was a very pleasant young man, and he drove very safely. I would add that I can be nervous on Mexican highways, and I felt very comfortable the whole way. He delivered us to our door in Puerto Escondido with sketchy address/instructions. This was a great way to go!
Much more convenient than flying, a bit more expensive even factoring in the airport transfers. The van was clean and our driver spoke a little english.
Oscar was great. Arrived on time, drove us comfortably to our destination in PE. Couldn’t have been smoother. Took approximately 2h 45 min
It was a very clean brand new car. Our driver was very friendly and professional. Would highly recommend
Private car was right on time, very clean, driver friendly, and he even kindly allowed us a bathroom break halfway through. He drove us safely down to Puerto Escondido. Would recommend as a very easy and peaceful way to get to Puerto Escondido.
Our driver was 1.5 hours late from our scheduled pick up time. First he said a 30 minute delay due to road closures but how did it turn into 1.5? Not sure if the company was short staffed and had to send someone from a far distance but none of that was communicated to us. We asked for a discount and he offered to drive us to the airport but we wouldn’t chance it again. Luckily, our schedule was flexible but if you need a reliable car service, I cannot recommend this one.
Driver was timely, got us to Puerto nice and safe! Clean car and fast service. Very pretty views on the way.
Oscar was on time and very accommodating. The trip down to Puerto Escondido from Oaxaca was very scenic and enjoyable. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for safe and dependable transportation.
Our driver was good, always felt safe even considering the style of Mexican driving is kind of like Formula 1 when it comes to passing other vehicles. Not really any English and did not offer any Spotify use or even air conditioning adjustment when asked. I put that down to communication. Also, the new highway to PE had just opened and from pickup to drop off the trip was 2 1/2 hours. We booked about a month previously and paid about $540 CDN accepting it was a 6 hour drive. I see the price has been reduced by just over $100 CDN, probably to reflect competition for the shorter trip. All in all, we arrived safely and relatively comfortable. The convenience of being picked up at your Hotel and dropped off at your destination is worth something. Tipped the driver 200 Pesos as he did get us to our destination safely in a comfortable car in good condition. Just felt a little burned on the price for a 6 hour trip when it actually took 2 1/2 hours, but that’s what we signed up for and we made it to PE.
The new road to Puerto Escondido opened that morning, the journey took under 3 hours rather than the expected 6 1/2, knowledgeable driver added to the entertainment.
Was a good experience! Lovely views and driver knew what he was doing :) very windy roads but was ok!
It was a much better experience than taking the bus. Saved a huge amount of time, vehicle was clean, the tires however were completely bald, we didn’t find this out until we got a flat tire 2 hours into our 6.5 hour drive… we made it safely but that was a concern as we had to change the tire on the side of the VERY curvy road that’s when we realized all the tires were bald, the flat tire didn’t come from a nail legitimately the tire wore down so much it wouldn’t stay inflated. Highly suggest gravol for this drive as well that road is very curvy and you will most likely get car sick. 3+ hours straight of curvy. Door to door service was awesome. Would use the service again for sure but tires need to be checked
This was thee perfect way to travel. Great service. Awesome, friendly driver. We would highly recommend.
Sebastián was great , friendly and informative Highly recommended .scenic adventure made fun with good driver.
Our driver Sebastian made a memorable trip even more special. He was friendly and a really great driver. And also incredibly patient when it took us a very longtime to find our airbnb. I would 100% use them again
The driving through the mountain was awsome with beautiful views. The driver knew very well the road
If your driver gives you the option of taking the ‘new highway’ I recommend you decline. We agreed to this and regretted the decision. The new road will be great when complete, but as of Dec 2023 it is not ready, drivers should not be using it.
Nice, comfortable car and the driver was great. You could tell he knows the roads well and drove safely.
Our driver was fabulous. Very professional, safe and helpful. We would definitely recommend this private transfer option. It’s a long and windy drive to the coast and we were delighted to have someone else take the responsibility!
We booked a transfer from Oaxaca city to Puerto Escondido that said it was a jungle road with a stop for lunch. Our driver asked us if we wanted to go on the route we booked, which takes 6 hours or another way that he said would take 3. I knew the Highway was unfinished and told him we did not think it was a good idea. He insisted because he said we would get car sick on the route we had booked. The highway is not finished! It is partially finished in spots but mostly not finished. It was a dirt road that stopped part way through. They were still bulldozing the road! We had to turn around and go down a extremely curvy jungle trail that wasn’t even a road. There was no bathrooms or lunch along this way. We didn’t stop from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido. If you book this transfer do not take the new route! It is still unfinished! The transfer we took was not the one advertised. It still took 4.5 hours and was a very unpleasant trip.
Sebastian was an awesome driver and so kind and patient with us. Pickup and drop off were super convenient and the views were lovely - the stop for breakfast / lunch was beautiful!
Sebastian was friendly, kind and a great driver. It’s a beautiful journey through the mountains and definitely doesn’t feel like 6 hours. The car was cool and comfortable with plenty of space.
We had a very good drive from Oaxaca to Puerto Escondido in about 6h30 including some stops for coffee, stretching legs and to go to the bathroom. Our driver Oscar was very courteous and very agile on the curvy roads. The car was a VW Caddy and was really comfortable. We are very happy to have chosen the private drive over the minibus colectivo and would certainly repeat at a next occasion.
Great service, highly recommend - roomy car for two people (with possibility of an extra person in the passenger seat). Lovely driver who stopped half way at a place with an amazing view and restaurant. The roads from Oaxaca city to Puerto are very windy so being in a car was much more preferable to a bus. It is the more expensive option but well worth it for a door to door quicker service.
There was a small delay in pick-up but apart from that the drive was mostly enjoyable. It does take quite a long time, and is very curvy but you see beautiful Mountain View’s. We also stopped for a nice lunch. The car was also in good shape and very spacious, which was nice. The driver spoke good English.
Our driver, Alan, was amazing! He was so helpful (and very kind when I was a little travel-sick on the windy roads to Puerto!) I think it's the best way to travel.
Our driver was FANTASTIC, he stopped whenever we wanted to , managed all the crazy curves with skill and got us to our destination in good time. Highly recommend Alan!
Driver was on time, car was clean and comfortable, and the drive through the mountains was scenic. He was a good driver, getting us to our destination in a safe and timely manner. Very professional.
Working with Viator was super easy. Good and fast communication. Our driver, Laurent, was an efficient and skillful driver. We made it from Oaxaca city to Puerto Escondido in about 7 hours with one stop about halfway for an early lunch. Definitely have dramamine. It's about 3 1/2 hours of hairpin curves.
Very friendly and professional driver Very clean car However a long way to go Took us 8 hours from Puerto Escondido
Great driver, he did a fantastic job navigating the roads. Much nicer way to travel to Puerto Escondido.
Communication with Viator was very difficult - we didn't know if our ride was confirmed until the last minute and only did so through our hotel manager who was able to assist. Our driver was very safe, although aggressive on the windy road, making my husband very sick. Also, there was very little communication during the drive - it would have been nice to know some info about the towns we went through on the 6.5 hour drive. We flew back and would recommend that.
Our driver, "Nacho", arrived perfectly on time and even came up to our hotel room to help bring our 3 suitcases down to load into the car. He was very professional and friendly. He was a gentleman who always opened the door for my wife, and he was courteous throughout our entire trip. The vehicle was very nice, extremely clean, and spacious, hand sanitizer was provided. Nacho was a very safe driver and made us feel comfortable throughout our long trip. He also was very knowledgeable of the surrounding areas, and it was obvious he had driven this trip many times and knew the roads and terrain very well. Never at any point did we feel unsafe. The drive was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. At one point, we were above the clouds! The mountains are stunning, lush and green, with gorgeous flora and fauna everywhere, and the air was crisp, clean, and cool. There was air condition used for most of the trip, but driving through the mountains, it was not necessary, and it was so nice to breathe the mountain air! We stopped for a coffee and pastry mid-way at a nice place with clean restrooms. Nacho really took the stress out of what could be a stressful trip due to the distance and winding roads. We arrived at the beach safe and sound with no issues and got to see a very beautiful part of Mexico driving from Oaxaca City through the jungle and mountains that not many people ever get to experience! I highly recommend this company for this drive!
We are from America and our driver was fluent in English, which helped. It wasn't necessary but it was a nice tough. He was on-time, easy to communicate with and overall very knowledgeable of the area and roads. The drive to Puerto Escondido is through the mountains so very windy but our driver did a superb job managing the roads and our needs. Highly recommend!
Estamos muy contentos con la atención de nuestro conductor Oscar quien llego por nosotros al hotel con toda puntualidad y el trayecto con toda seguridad y conocimiento del camino llegando en el tiempo estimado de camino Sin dudarlo lo buscaríamos en nuestro próximo viaje que seguro regresamos
De reis duurt nu nog vrij lang (ca 6-7 uur) en gaat over bochtige bergwegen met prachtige vergezichten. Voor Mexicaanse begrippen reed de chauffeur netjes en betrouwbaar. Ook werd de tijd genomen voor stops en een kop koffie samen onderweg, ondanks dat de chauffeur dezelfde dag deze weg nog terug moest rijden. Er wordt een nieuwe weg aangelegd (met tol) die de reistijd in de toekomst (vanaf herfts 2024) naar 2.5 uur terug brengt, dat is dan wel zeker aan te raden om die te nemen.
