"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 hope to see you again in the future! "
"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!
