Experience Day Trips in Oaxaca with Withlocals

"Hi! I recently went on a last minute trip to Oaxaca to meet up with artisans and makers. Tanivet was very helpful and knowledgeable. She had brought Enrique with her as a driver, and he was very friendly and kind. I felt safe and met some amazing contacts."

"Had a great time with Tanivet. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us as much as she could about Oaxaca. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to getting her as a guide in the future"

"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! "

"Sofia was a wonderful guide and we had a great time. The weather was terrible and still we had so much fun. She was amazing! Highly recommend "

"We scheduled three tours with Sofia and maybe the best way to describe in a few words the exceptional experience we had with her is that “she was simply fantastic, an extraordinary guide”. She is excellent in many ways, energetic, passionate, flexible, patient, helpful, knowledgable and fun! Sofia is really “Superb” We highly recommend using her services. "

"We went to Hierve el Agua with Sofia and couldn‘t be happier to do so. She is a kind, fun and friendly person and a very competent guide as well. We saw so many beautiful and interesting spots, aditionally learned a lot about the local culture and had the best half day you could Imagine. Very happy that we did that, was totally worth the time and the money! "

"Sofia was great! We had an incredible street food tour. She took us to the market to start us off and we had delicious tamales that originated here in Oaxaca. Each stop was really well planned and you could the vendors were the best because they were packed with locals. Go with Sofia, you’ll have the best time!"

"Tanivet took my wife and I to Monte Alban, a place where she has played as a child as her fatehr worked there. That deep knowledge lead to a very informative and super enjoyable experience. She had wonderful insights and a warm personality. After the tour, and a trip to a mezcal distillery for an in depth description of how mezcal is made, she even made time for us to stop by a local market and grab some dried chiles so I can try my hand at mole making. A wonderful day and I would highly recommend her."

"We enjoyed one and a half days with Tanivet guiding us around Oaxaca. She is very knowledgeable about the city and the small villages and artisans. She knew just where to take us based on our interests and was a delight to be with! "

"Our guide, Sophia, and driver, Saul, were absolutely amazing!! They made the entire day so memorable, and were so accommodating in every way and really made this trip special. I highly recommend both of them for any tour. They really were the best. "
