      Amazing tour with Cristina!

      "Our tour with Cristina was the highlight of our trip. She took us to spots that felt true to the city and deepened our appreciation for it. Cristina took time to answer our questions, kindly engage with our toddler, and share her beautiful city with warmth. Our only regret is not taking this tour earlier on in our stay in Oaxaca to more fully enjoy our time there. Highly recommend!"

      A nice evening tour of Oaxaca

      "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!"

      Great local Oaxacan tourguide

      "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!"

      Felt Like Exploring With an Old Friend!

      "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!"

      Fantastic local tourguide

      "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."
