Experience City tours in 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!"

"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 made a great decision in hiring Tanivet to help us explore a colorful neighborhood, Jalatlaco, near our first night in Oaxaca. After getting to our hotel from the airport, Tanivet met us at our hotel. We spent 2+ hours touring the Jatatlaco barrio. She shared with us her enthusiasm and love for Oaxaca City. Her English was excellent. She provided historical background information about her city. She suggested places to eat and foods along the way (at our request). She exhibited a friendly an warm personality. Her tour was first class in every respect. Our group of six adults recommend her 100% Thanks, Tanivet!!"

"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 "
