Experience the best of
Oaxaca with Withlocals

"We had such a lovely evening with Raquel who showed us all the delicious food and drink around Oaxaca. Her knowledge was exceptional and she knew so much about the culture as well! We felt very educated and well looked after, would highly recommend! "

"Tanivet was a true local, born, bred and steeped in her community. After checking, she took us on a walk away from downtown into areas full local artisans pursuing their craft. Areas with interesting murals and stories of how the city was born and developed. History, archeology, architecture and social discourse. The fight for water and the environmental consequences. We came away knowing and respecting so much more of Oaxaca, its people and its environment. We also learnt a lot about downtown and had all of our questions answered. Three hours of fun. "

"Raquel was an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL guide. This was our first time in Oaxaca and we really wanted to experience both the food and the culture. Raquel took the time to take us around the city centre and explained many historical and cultural aspects of the city that we never would have known without a guide like her. Raquel took into account what foods we really wanted to try, but also made sure that we tried foods we would only get in Oaxaca. She also broke up the tour between eating non-stop (which was fantastic), but also showing us the areas in the city and describing their cultural significance. She also taught us about the way food and the preparation methods of food have influenced the culture and habits of the people of Oaxaca. The tour felt like a walk with a good friend, and I would recommend it to anyone who is going on their first trip to Oaxaca!"

"Tanivet is very knowledgeable. We very much enjoyed our tour with her. I eespically enjoyed leaning more about Jalatlaco and the cemetery. This is my 5th time in Oaxaca and she showed me a very cool place i have never seen before. What a wonderful surprise! Thank you Tanivet! "

"Our walking tour of Oaxaca with Tanivet was truly exceptional. Her deep knowledge and infectious passion for the city illuminated every step of our journey. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an insightful and immersive tour of this captivating city. She was very accommodating for our group throughout the tour!"

"During our first day in Oaxaca, my daughter and I were fortunate to have Tanivet as our guide as we explored the areas of Centro and Xochimilco. She led us to places that we would never have discovered on our own, and it is evident that she is deeply passionate about imparting the rich history of the city of Oaxaca to others. Without a doubt, the tour stood out as a highlight of our visit to Oaxaca. We highly recommend a tour with Tanivet to anyone seeking an enriching and memorable exploration of the city's history and culture!"

"Wow! What a great way to start our visit to Oaxaca. Tanivet was fun and very informative. A truly great way to start our time in this amazing city. "

"Hi enjoyed my private tour with Tanivet immensely. We covered a lot of ground as part of the Hidden Gems tour. We started in the Barrio of Jalatalco and just kept going. Her knowledge was priceless and she is very easy going. I speak Spanish with room for improvement and she teaches Spanish so it was fun chatting with her and getting some Spanish tips as well. I would highly recommend. "

"Tanivet guided us throughout the beautiful city of Oaxaca and its barrios last night. The amount of Oaxacan history and area knowledge Tanivet shared was priceless. We visited local artisans and hidden gems in the local areas. She’s a charming guide and person. A lovely way to begin our stay in Oaxaca. Highly recommend her as a guide, but also as a lovely human being."

"As advertised, a tour that is more off the beaten track. For pure history, there are museums and wikipedia, among others. This tour touched more on culture and life in Oaxaca, with dabs of history and socio-economics, and fun samples of food too. The aquaduct was fascinating. Thanks Tanivet!"
