Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Tanivet provided our family with an exceptional art tour of the Jalatlaco neighborhood. Although we had visited the neighborhood before, she introduced us to art that we had never encountered. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the history of Oaxaca and appreciating the beautiful art. "
"My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the hidden gems of Oaxaca with Tanivet. She was one of the most knowledgeable tour guides we’ve ever had! The tour was the right length with a flexible itinerary according to our interests. Tanivet is a true local, and provided us with an excellent overview of Oaxaca’s rich cultural heritage, along with some local insights. Highly recommended! "
"Despite coffee shop where I suggested meeting moving, Cristina found us on time. She is a very knowledgeable and likeable person who tweaked the tour to match our individual requirements. She also gave us good advice on how to spend time during the rest of our stay in Oaxaca. We have no hesitation in commending her professionalism, knowledge and clear delivery and recommend her unhesitatingly."
"Tanivet was delightful, knowledgable and really listened to what we wanted. I would highly recommend her for any of your tours!!!"

"Raquel took me through the best food and culture tour in Oaxaca market I've ever experienced in any country! She's extremely knowledgeable, if you're not only after eating, but about understanding the local varieties of fruit, Mole sauces, drinks, chocolates - look no further. After these experiences we also sat at a restaurant and had a varied meal. She's an extraordinarily warm and open person, and adapted spontaneously to my interests. "
"Sofia was a great guide of her home town of Oaxaca. We were fortunate to visit the city during Dia De Las Muertas and the decoration of the city were amazing. Sofia was very knowledgeable and I feel like we got a good feel for the city with her. I would highly recommend Sofia to guide you through Oaxaca."
"Tanviet was great, we were running late and she came to meet us at a different location instead. She had a ton of great information, and provided recommendations throughout. "
"We decided to organise this tour for our first evening in order to get to know the city and what it has to offer to make our stay more productive and enjoyable. Raquel was excellent, friendly and engaging. We learnt so much in our 3 hours and tasted some excellent local specialities including a Mescal tasting . Walking around the town Raquel was able to answer many of our questions and give us some great trips. The bonus was as we were doing our own trip in the surroundings with a hire car she was anle to recommend a great place for lunch en route and a wonderful homemade ice cream spot by the El Tule the widest tree in the world and possible the oldest ! Can’t thank Raquel enough. "
"The tour is so flexible. it starts as a walking tour but halfway through turns into a food tour! I really enjoyed the dishes and places we visited, many of which we wouldn’t have known to go to on our own. The whole tour felt like catching up with a friend. "
"We loved our time with Sofia. She was responsive in the app, helped tailor the tour to our preferences, and was a pleasure to be with! Her love for her city shines through and we had a great few hours while learning a lot."
