Experience the best of
Oaxaca with Withlocals

"My friend and I had a wonderful private evening walking tour with Tanivet. Tanivet met us at our hotel and began the tour explaining the history and culture of Oaxaca. We went to various neighborhoods within the city where she took more to time to share in detail the life of local Oaxacans. The pace was nice and time was spent in each neighborhood where you can see its uniqueness and vibe. Highly recommend Tanivet and this evening walking tour!"

"Tanivet was an amazing guide! we just came to Oaxaca from Japan and knew pretty much nothing about Oaxaca. First moment we met, she was so kind to my little kids, and 3 hour city tour we did, she told us history of oaxaca, church, where NOT to buy souveniors (very good point), and took us to two district just outside of centro. It was packed 3hours but went by so fast, and after the tour, we knew the size of oaxaca and basic knowledge of the town that are not on internet. I would highly recommend her to anybody who is first time in Oaxaca!"

"Our group loved the food tour we did with Raquel. She presented us with great historical and cultural information in addition to a well-paced and delicious food tour. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our time and plan to go back to many of the spots we visited on the tour. "

"Eat local foods and experience local markets on this incredible tour led by Carlos. Having already experienced larger markets and more central parts of Oaxaca City, Carlos took to local neighborhoods and vendors. Carlos was an incredibly gracious and fun guide. His enthusiasm for his local food and his hometown make for a most special experience "

"Sofia was a great, informative, and fun guide! Not only did she take us to some fantastic spots outside the city, but she had a killer playlist going while we were in the car cruising. We throughly enjoyed her hosting us and sharing all the Oaxacan food, culture, and sights. The people, views, and mezcal she introduced will leave an indelible mark on our souls. We are very grateful and she even let us control the tunes at one point! What a fun day!!"

"Carlos was a great and informative guide. We appreciated him tailoring the tour with a couple of requests we made. I felt like I was on a travel show experiencing the local foods and culture!"

"Cristina was not only informative but also conversational and warm. She made what could feel like a daunting scheduled event so relaxing, it really felt like we met up with an old friend who knew our likes and knew exactly what to show us around this city. She incorporated storytelling, history, personal introductions, activities, and wit to keep the tour moving and engaging. Couldn't ask for more, honestly. Thank you so much, Cristina, for being the one of the highlights of our trip and for the guidance that made it a trip to remember!"

"Rolando adjusted to our pace (it was a very hot day so we needed to stop often or to take refuge in the shade). He made sure we had a good tour of the city that he clearly loves."

"Tanivet was fantastic! Her enthusiastic and deep knowledge of Oaxaca was a highlight of the trip. She is completely fluent in English. We were able to visit a couple of local artist in their home, which would not have happened on a group tour. We walked the city for several hours at night and it was very memorable. Highly recommended if I travel to Oaxaca again, I will use her for that type of tour and also the ruins."

"We had a wonderful time with Cris! She was very knowledgeable, was able to adapt the tour to our needs, and fed us delicious food! She also gave us great recommendations for the rest of our time in Oaxaca. Highly recommend!"
