Experience tomorrow the best of
Oaxaca with Withlocals

"Hi! I recently went on a last minute trip to Oaxaca to meet up with artisans and makers. Tanivet was very helpful and knowledgeable. She had brought Enrique with her as a driver, and he was very friendly and kind. I felt safe and met some amazing contacts."

"My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of touring with Rolando on our last day in Oaxaca after spending a week in Puerto Escondido. Without being superlative, Rolando's incredible knowledge of the city of Oaxaca, Mesoamerican history and culture, and architecture, made our time with him not only the best part of our trip, but an experience we will remember forever. Rolando's personality, masterful English, and attention to detail make his city tour an absolute must for anyone planning on visiting this profoundly important place in Mexico. We look forward to visiting this incredible city again - and can gurantee we will be planning our trip around his availability! Muchos, muchos gracias!! "

"Had a great time with Tanivet. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us as much as she could about Oaxaca. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to getting her as a guide in the future"

"My experience was awesome! Sofia was very knowledgeable of the area and had a very friendly disposition that made the your unforgettable and very wholesome."

"We loved our tour with Tanivet yesterday. She was knowledgeable, patient, and shared fascinating facts with us. She speaks English perfectly well, and was patient with us trying to learn Spanish. I highly recommend her as a tour guide!"

"We used Tanivet for the night tour and the a few days later for the tour of Jalatlaco. She was terrific! She was on time, responded to questions easily, and overall very friendly. Tanivet is very knowledgeable and shared so much of the history of the city and surrounding area. We learned a lot. It is apparent that she has a passion for what she does. I highly recommend her as a guide. Make sure you've got good walking shoes because she will take you everywhere! "

"Rolando was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable, smart , interesting. He asked questions about us and our stories, but not too many. He shared stories about himself, but not too many. We travel all over the world. We especially like With Local guides. Rolando was one of the best guides we've had Excellent. He ended the evening by bringing to a restaurant that he suggested, and leaving us there. A wonderful introduction to Oaxaca. "

"We were enlightened and delighted with Tanivet’s knowledge and stories of her hometown, Oaxaca. With her well honed experience and insights, we enjoyed a new and interesting side to this amazing city. "

"We booked the Monte Albán excursion with Tanivet and she was amazing! Wow! Her personal history of spending so much time at the ruins as a child made our experience feel really special. It was like getting a personal tour with someone who knew the grounds intimately and had even been inside some of the tombs and tunnels where they no longer allow people to go. Tani even gave advice to other tourists there who had questions. She was so helpful! Tanivet let us customize our tour by offering a couple options for our last stop. Tanivet and Enrique made the entire day memorable. Enrique is an excellent driver and the ride was very comfortable. It was a truly enjoyable and educational day - we learned SO much from Tanivet! "

"We did the Culinary Experience with Raquel and we absolutely loved it. Not only does Raquel know a lot about the foods that are an important part of the Oaxacan culture but she has relationships with many of the vendors. She chatted with them as friends and treated everyone with respect. We tried crickets (not required!) and mole sauces plus so many delicious dishes I can’t remember the names of them all. Raquel was easy to talk to, and loves the culture and people of Oaxaca. Her enthusiasm was infectious and made us want to know more. She also gave us great recommendations on restaurants and other must-see cultural sites. Book this tour early in your Oaxacan visit so you can take advantage of all the other places Raquel recommends!"
