Absolutely delightful!
"I had a wonderful time with Tanivet as we walked through the different neighborhoods of Oaxaca. She was knowledgeable, interesting, had a great sense of humor, and was really fun to spend time with. I highly recommend Withlocals. This is the third time that I’ve done a Withlocals tour and all of them have been amazing. "

Great tour
"Tanivet took us to an area of Oaxaca that we had not explored and showed us the hidden gems. She explained the history of the city and added her perspective. She also answered questions that we had and gave some great suggestions for restaurants. We were 2 adults with an infant and she was very accomodating. Highly recommend!"

Tanivet is a delight!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of Oaxaca with Tanivet! She is a sweetheart and gave us a lovely orientation to the city, and lots of helpful suggestions and advice. We stopped at a stand for a scrumptious lunch stop that we never would have known about or done on our own. We couldn’t have enjoyed our time with her more!"

An amazing guide!
"Tanivet was an exceptional guide for our tour in Oaxaca. She showed us wonderful sites, was extremely informative, and spoke beautiful English. Tanivet has a passion and very educated that made the tour so interesting and fun. She also made the tour based on our personal interest. Our friend had her as a guide a year ago and recommended her to us. I will make sure anyone who goes to Oaxaca knows about Tanivet and With Local tours. Thanks Bev Johl "

Great guide!
"Raquel is a great guide! She took us around Oaxaca giving us a lot of information about the city, its culture and people. We took the tour in Spanish and she made sure my mom felt included (my mom only speaks Portuguese). She made our experience in the city much more fun!"

A walk through Oxaca with Tanivet
"We were met at our Airbnb by Tanivet on November 1. Immediately I knew we were going to learn and have fun! She is kind, knowledgeable and has a good sense of humor. We spent 3 hours learning about History, Oaxaca, Dias de Muertos and our host. I highly recommend her. If I had time I’d book her again for another tour of anything!"

Off the beaten track in Oaxaca
"Tanivet was a true local, born, bred and steeped in her community. After checking, she took us on a walk away from downtown into areas full local artisans pursuing their craft. Areas with interesting murals and stories of how the city was born and developed. History, archeology, architecture and social discourse. The fight for water and the environmental consequences. We came away knowing and respecting so much more of Oaxaca, its people and its environment. We also learnt a lot about downtown and had all of our questions answered. Three hours of fun. "

Private & Personalized Tours in Oaxaca with a Local
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Oaxaca, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Oaxaca spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Oaxaca.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Oaxaca, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Oaxaca awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Oaxaca, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Oaxaca. Get ready to explore like a local!
