"Cristina was not only informative but also conversational and warm. She made what could feel like a daunting scheduled event so relaxing, it really felt like we met up with an old friend who knew our likes and knew exactly what to show us around this city. She incorporated storytelling, history, personal introductions, activities, and wit to keep the tour moving and engaging. Couldn't ask for more, honestly. Thank you so much, Cristina, for being the one of the highlights of our trip and for the guidance that made it a trip to remember!"

"Rolando adjusted to our pace (it was a very hot day so we needed to stop often or to take refuge in the shade). He made sure we had a good tour of the city that he clearly loves."

"Tanivet was fantastic! Her enthusiastic and deep knowledge of Oaxaca was a highlight of the trip. She is completely fluent in English. We were able to visit a couple of local artist in their home, which would not have happened on a group tour. We walked the city for several hours at night and it was very memorable. Highly recommended if I travel to Oaxaca again, I will use her for that type of tour and also the ruins."

"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!"

"We made a great decision in hiring Tanivet to help us explore a colorful neighborhood, Jalatlaco, near our first night in Oaxaca. After getting to our hotel from the airport, Tanivet met us at our hotel. We spent 2+ hours touring the Jatatlaco barrio. She shared with us her enthusiasm and love for Oaxaca City. Her English was excellent. She provided historical background information about her city. She suggested places to eat and foods along the way (at our request). She exhibited a friendly an warm personality. Her tour was first class in every respect. Our group of six adults recommend her 100% Thanks, Tanivet!!"

"Our group of 6 toured the Coyoacan neighborhood with Victor last Saturday. It was our first time in Mexico City and his suggestion to see this very cool and historic neighborhood. We loved the tour and thought he was awesome. I've been on many private tours that were loaded -- no overloaded -- with facts and historical data and info. But real storytelling and real insight into culture and vibe and what makes a place special and unique often goes missing. That's not the case with Victor. He was so real and relatable and gave us wonderful insight into what it was like to grow up and live in Mexico City and as an artist himself, what this unique part of the city really means to him and to others. Victor is a lovely human and was so much fun to be with. We really enjoyed him and were so happy with the tour. "

"My husband and I had a great tour of the historic district with Daniel. He was knowledgeable and happy to share his Mexican pride. We not only saw the key monuments but also a few hidden gems that made the tour really special. Three hours was the perfect length for us."

"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! "

"Spent a lovely morning with Nalleli who gave us detailed and interesting perspective of the history of Mexico City. She showed us some lovely hidden gem locations and was so positive and forward thinking in her outlook. Thank you! "

"We had a wonderful time with Carlos. He took us to a more quiet and local part of Oaxaca, which was great! We tasted really nice foods and even did a chocolate tasting. Highly recommend the tour and choose Carlos ! "
