Experience the best of
Oaxaca with Withlocals

"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 "

"Tanivet was an excellent tour guide. Our tour with herbgave us a great knowledge of the artisans of Oaxaca. Our visit to the blind ceramicist was the highlight of the tour. Tanivet was also very accommodative to my wife as she did not feel well during the tour. Enrique was a great partner and driver as well. We will definitely recommend Tanivet to our friends and family who plan to visit Oaxaca."

"Sofia was a great, informative, and fun guide! Not only did she take us to some fantastic spots outside the city, but she had a killer playlist going while we were in the car cruising. We throughly enjoyed her hosting us and sharing all the Oaxacan food, culture, and sights. The people, views, and mezcal she introduced will leave an indelible mark on our souls. We are very grateful and she even let us control the tunes at one point! What a fun day!!"

"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!"

"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 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! "
