"Raquel will not disappoint. Book this tour early in your trip if possible bc doing so will help orient and guide you towards the culinary, artistic and cultural gems of the city. Raquel wants to help you explore your own specific interests and has the education, experience and relationships to help you do just that. The best day of our trip was the one that followed my tour with her. I was able to take what I learned and experienced with Raquel and apply it the very next day towards a much richer experience of the city. ❤️"

The best guide you could hope for
"I'd give Sofia 10 stars if I could. My husband and I truly had an incredible time with her. She is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about her beautiful city. She was flexible, gave us lots of options and recommendations suited for our preferences during the tour. We tasted some of the best food we both loved, and learned so much about Oaxaca's cuisine, tradition and culture. And she's an amazing photographer! When we come back to Oaxaca, we'll not hesitate to book her again. "
"We were blessed to have Tanivet show us around her beautiful city. We got a great sense of the area's history as well as a solid understanding of how a local lives in Oaxaca."

The perfect tour!
"We had a great time with Carlos, he gave us so much background on the city and the culture and the food! He took us to lovely spots run by locals and everything was unbelievable. Some truly unique and special spots. Carlos made sure there were vegetarian options for those of us that had dietary restrictions. We had a really great time and Carlos even went above and beyond and gave us recommendations for the rest of our trip as well. One person in our group has family in Oaxaca and even she learned and tasted new things! Highly recommend!"

A Perfect Introduction to Oaxaca
"Tanivet was incredibly knowledgeable, warm, and patient with us and our two kids (7 and 10). We learned about the city's history, art, and culture. We toured through the city, had great drinking chocolate, visited the local landmarks, and she kept us rapt the whole time. She was very attentive to the kids and made sure we all had a great experience. We would book her again next time we come back!"
"What a delightful and delicious first morning in Oaxaca. Carlos shared his passion for Oaxacan cuisine with our family and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We loved the street tacos, small local market where we ate tamales, tlayudas and drank tajete. We sampled exotic local fruit, sweets and even purchased mole to take home. We finished the tour with full tummies and lots of stories and knowledge about Oaxacan cuisine. It was perfect for us and our boys (12 and 10), the youngest who’s a little picky tried so many new flavours under Carlos gentle encouragement. We highly recommend Carlos and this tour!"

Female Solo Trip
"Hi! I recently went on a last minute trip to Oaxaca to meet up with artisans and makers. Tanivet was very helpful and knowledgeable. She had brought Enrique with her as a driver, and he was very friendly and kind. I felt safe and met some amazing contacts."
"My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of touring with Rolando on our last day in Oaxaca after spending a week in Puerto Escondido. Without being superlative, Rolando's incredible knowledge of the city of Oaxaca, Mesoamerican history and culture, and architecture, made our time with him not only the best part of our trip, but an experience we will remember forever. Rolando's personality, masterful English, and attention to detail make his city tour an absolute must for anyone planning on visiting this profoundly important place in Mexico. We look forward to visiting this incredible city again - and can gurantee we will be planning our trip around his availability! Muchos, muchos gracias!! "
