"Raquel was a fantastic guide and host. Her knowledge as a studying anthropologist allowed our tour to go beyond just the food. She was able to offer unique perspectives on the history of the area and the socio-economic factors that make Oaxaca what it is. Highly recommended!"
"We had a wonderful afternoon in Oaxaca with Cristina. She took us around and we tasted amazing food that we would never ordered ourselves. At the end of the tour she took us to a restaurant that served the best taco’s we had in Mexico. They were even better than the Michelin star ones in CMDX. Thank you Cristina!"
"We had a fantastic evening with Cristina. Super special food and drinks, and she knows a lot anout the culture and history of Oaxaca as well. Great company! Thanks, Cristina!"
"Our group loved the food tour we did with Raquel. She presented us with great historical and cultural information in addition to a well-paced and delicious food tour. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our time and plan to go back to many of the spots we visited on the tour. "
"Eat local foods and experience local markets on this incredible tour led by Carlos. Having already experienced larger markets and more central parts of Oaxaca City, Carlos took to local neighborhoods and vendors. Carlos was an incredibly gracious and fun guide. His enthusiasm for his local food and his hometown make for a most special experience "
"Carlos was a great and informative guide. We appreciated him tailoring the tour with a couple of requests we made. I felt like I was on a travel show experiencing the local foods and culture!"

Review about Cristina
"We had a wonderful time with Cris! She was very knowledgeable, was able to adapt the tour to our needs, and fed us delicious food! She also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time in Oaxaca. Highly recommend!"
"Our group of four spent two days with Sofia in and around Oaxaca. We started with a culinary walk through Oaxaca. Sofia introduced us to so many great food experiences, in the food capital of Mexico. She knew how to find the hidden gems and we loved every minute of it. She also gave us some restaurant and shopping recommendations, which we took advantage of. On the second day, she toured us through the region, and again showed us the personal side of things. We really enjoyed our hikes, talking about nature and the region’s history. We ended with a fun mezcal tasting at a distillery she had known since a kid because it was her grandparents’ favorite. We really appreciated the personal and friendly tour Sofia gave to us and highly recommend booking with her! "
