"We thoroughly enjoyed Tanivet and her knowledge of Oaxaca City. She met us at our hotel and showed us areas we never would have seen otherwise. Our tour was three hours and because she said it’s impossible to cover everything in three hours, she pointed out areas for us to explore on our own time. We loved it!"

"We did a walking tour with Raquel around Jalatlaco, Oaxaca. She was brilliant, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, understood culture, people and the natural world. We learned so much and came away in awe of Raquel. She is also great company and very kind. Definitely recommend. "

"Our tour of Jalatlaco with Raquel was wonderful! It was an excessively hot day and my daughter wasn’t feeling well, so Raquel quickly adjusted our itinerary and yet still managed to show us the main areas of interest within Jalatlaco! She was easy to talk to and provided insight on historical, cultural and social levels. A 10/10 for sure! Would recommend Raquel to anyone! "

"Christina was an excellent guide. She tailored our afternoon to our interests, showed us many charming places we would not have known about, and even helped us arrange drivers for additional tours. She was pleasant to be with and even answered a couple text message questions after the fact "

"My friend and I booked a tour with Cris and could not recommend it enough! We sent her our interests and she created a custom route in Oaxaca Centro for us. She was very easy and responsive over messages and worked with us to meet us in a convenient location. She was very flexible in letting us stop at cafes, shops, etc and showed us spots we would have never found ourselves. We love art, pottery, and textiles and the knowledge she had on Oaxacan art was incredible. You can tell the love and admiration she has for this city, its people, culture and history. She asked about the rest of our travel plans and provided us with many recommendations in Oaxaca based on our interests. If you are looking for a more intimate and personable way to experience Oaxaca, you could not go wrong booking with Cris. If we are ever back in Oaxaca, I will be booking with Cris again! "

"Raquel is deeply passionate about her city, and her love for its art and local craftsmanship shines through in everything she shares. She is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough in her teaching, yet patient and adaptable — especially with our two kids along for the experience. She is wonderful with children; our girls, ages 6 and 9, absolutely adored her. Raquel guided both of our tours — the food tour and our time exploring Jalatlaco — and it was clear she is truly connected within the local community. The relationships she has built add such authenticity to the experience. I can’t say enough about her. She is unique, intelligent, kind, and effortlessly cool. I would recommend her to anyone. And her English is impeccable."

"Tanivet was an excellent tour guide. We enjoyed our day with her! "

"You've likely taken tours with guides where it seems like they are reading from a script....my experience with Tanivet WAS NOT THAT! I genuinely felt like I was getting the story of a people, of a community, of a city from someone who knows all of the aforementioned intimately and sincerely wanted to share her knowledge and passion with me. My time with Tanivet was beyond any expectations I could have had. The moment I set foot in Oaxaca I felt different. There is something about this city that really speaks to me and Tanivet helped deepen my experience and understanding of what I've been feeling while being in this magnificent, truly one of a kind city. Furthermore, Tanivet conducted the entire tour in Spanish (per my request) and guess what, she's been a teacher of Spanish for over 30 years! And while her English is fantastic, getting the tour in Spanish from a seasoned interpreter of language and culture...I mean it truly doesn't get any better than that. In addition, she's just a lovely human being to spend an afternoon with. "

"Can’t miss with Sofia. "

"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. "
