Experience tomorrow the best of
Oaxaca with Withlocals

"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! "

"Spent an amazing day with Sofia touring beautiful natural scapes, visiting a one of a kind Sunday market, visiting an incredible local mezcal distillery and spending time in an artisan village. Oh, and did I mention the incredible tree that we saw? Largest (squat”ish”) tree in the world. Loved visiting the Oaxaca area with Sofia and glimpsing the culture through her eyes. Amazing day! Amazing guide! She started our day as a guide. She ended our day as a friend! "

"Cristina did a wonderful job not just introducing us to the foods of Oaxaca, but also explaining the historical and cultural context. She was an invaluable source of tips for sightseeing, shopping and day trips. We greatly enjoyed our time with Cristina and would be happy to recommend her."

"We spent three days with Tanivet. First day was her Oaxaca Gems Tours and the next two days were the Artisan Wonders of Oaxaca. She was absolutely terrific. Knowledgeable, personable and a great sense of humor. Just a lot of fun to be with. While the Gems Tour was great her Artisans tour is extraordinary. Oaxaca is famous for its arts and crafts but you won’t even begin to appreciate this unless you take the Artisans tour. The true artisan families in weaving, pottery, alibrijes ( famous carved Oaxacan animal figures), and jewelry are found outside of central Oaxaco. If you appreciate the beauty and skill of true hand made crafts you must take the Artisans tour. Tanivet will take you to only the finest and most skilled artisans in their crafts. It was the absolute highlight of the time we spent in Oaxaco. DO NOT MISS IT!! Really— DO NOT MISS IT!"

"Tank vet was a wonderful guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our tour with her. Everything was very professional and enjoyable. We are a couple traveling with our 10 month old daughter. Tanivet was very patient and welcoming. She even held the baby a few times so that we could enjoy some views of monte alban and mezcal tasting unencumbered. We loved this tour!"

"Carlos was really fantastic. He's a a very lovely guy, and tailored everything to what we asked for as a group of three, including one 11 year old and one vegetarian. Would highly recommend you book with him. "

"Alejandro is very organized and knowledgeable. We relied on his tour selections which were packed together neatly. Great way to start a trip to Oaxaca. Thanks for the Experience and information. ✌️"

"I highly recommend booking Carlos for this tour! He took us to some great places for traditional and tasty Oaxaca treats. We had actually already spent 3 days in Oaxaca before we did this trip and we were a little worried we’d already tried the food and wouldn’t experience anything new, but we were so wrong! There were so many hidden places we wouldn’t have known about and luckily Carlos was there to show them to us. He was extremely knowledgeable about all everything Oaxaca, both food and culture. Really enjoyed this experience and would 100% do it again. "

"We were very interested in a foodie tour, but not the usual standard “agenda”. We gave our specific requests to Carlos and he took them and crafted a customized tasting that was spot on. From the small (quiet) local Mercado to an authentic restaurant and ending with a unique chocolatier, we felt taken care of and our requests were respected and honored. Carlos also shared historical, cultural and artistic tidbits as we walked around."

"Our tour with Tanivet was amazing! She is very nice, knowledge and funny. We were even able to personalize the tour and add a quick stop to the Tule tree, which was the perfect way to see it all in one day! A huge advantage of this private tour was that we were also able to beat the crowds and got to see Hierve el Agua with little to no people around. The whole tour was perfect! Thanks, Tanivet!"
