Uncover the best of Sierra Norte Day Trip the local Way

"Enrique and Tani are a great couple, and we enjoyed a lovely day exploring the outskirts of Oaxaca. Tani was very communicative leading up to our pick up time. Enrique's 80's and 90's rockband playlist gave us carpool karaoke vibes. This was our last day on a 5 day trip, and we were very tired, yet wanted to visit both Teotitlan de Valle and the Hierva al Aqua without spending too much time sitting in the pueblos or swimming in the natural pools. Tani made us great reservations at a friend's award winning restaurant and we had a great send off back to the US. "

"We loved our tour of Monte Alban so much we booked a second tour with Tanivet and Enrique a few days after to tour Hierve El Agua. From start to finish, the tour was wonderful on both days. Everything is so well organized, passionately informative, and so interesting. We loved getting to learn more about the rich history and culture of Oaxaca. Tanivet was an incredible tour guide and we feel lucky and honored to have had a chance to learn the history through her perspective and lenses. Enrique was also wonderful as well, so attentive and incredible. We could not recommend this tour enough. The hospitality and generosity is one of a kind. Thank you so much, we will miss you! Until next time! "

"It was a very nice trip. Tanivet and her driver were very knowledgeable and accommodating. The vehicle was comfortable, and she was very flexible to accommodate our needs. We really loved our time with her, and cannot wait to come back and tour with her again."

"Wonderful human being, very knowledgable, kind, insightful, funny We had the best day touring all of the sights, the artisans, sharing a fantastic lunch. 10/10 is not a high enough rating. Thank you very much :)"

"We had an amazing time with Tanivet! She was excellent at communicating with us from the moment we made our booking, and once we met in person, she made us feel welcome right away. Our first stop was Monte Albán. Tanivet’s deep knowledge and fascinating stories made for a far richer experience than if we had visited on our own. Afterward, we visited the town of Arrazola, where we met the talented artisans behind the beautiful alebrijes. At our request, Tanivet took us to a wonderful family-owned restaurant for lunch. The spread of traditional dishes—including moles, memelas, sopas, postres and fresh tortillas—was absolutely delicious and did not disappoint! Our tour concluded at a mezcal distillery, which was the perfect way to end the day. Tanivet took such great care of us throughout the entire trip. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oaxaca! "

"I went on the artisan tour with Tanivet and her driver Enrique with my mom. We had an outstanding time learning about different artisan crafts of various towns, visiting small galleries, and markets. Tanivet is so knowledgeable and kind. She seamlessly switched between English and Spanish and answered all our questions. Highly recommend to get a rich and varied experience! "

"Our tour of Monte Alban with Tanivet was wonderful! She recommended that we start early to avoid the crowds and the heat which was a great idea! Her knowledge and passion for Monte Alban was palpable! She adjusted our itinerary to also include a beautiful convent on the outskirts of Oaxaca. Tanivet was easy to talk to and provided insight on historical, social and cultural levels, and had a great sense of humor. Definitely a 10/10! Would recommend Tanivet to anyone! "
