Experience Food Tours in Oaxaca with Withlocals

"Carlos was really fantastic. He's a a very lovely guy, and tailored everything to what we asked for as a group of three, including one 11 year old and one vegetarian. Would highly recommend you book with him. "

"Alejandro is very organized and knowledgeable. We relied on his tour selections which were packed together neatly. Great way to start a trip to Oaxaca. Thanks for the Experience and information. ✌️"

"I highly recommend booking Carlos for this tour! He took us to some great places for traditional and tasty Oaxaca treats. We had actually already spent 3 days in Oaxaca before we did this trip and we were a little worried we’d already tried the food and wouldn’t experience anything new, but we were so wrong! There were so many hidden places we wouldn’t have known about and luckily Carlos was there to show them to us. He was extremely knowledgeable about all everything Oaxaca, both food and culture. Really enjoyed this experience and would 100% do it again. "

"We were very interested in a foodie tour, but not the usual standard “agenda”. We gave our specific requests to Carlos and he took them and crafted a customized tasting that was spot on. From the small (quiet) local Mercado to an authentic restaurant and ending with a unique chocolatier, we felt taken care of and our requests were respected and honored. Carlos also shared historical, cultural and artistic tidbits as we walked around."

"We had an incredible experience on this street food tour. It was a private 1:1 tour. The food was outstanding: from classic tamales and tacos to a perfectly refreshing horchata, every bite was delicious. A real highlight was the stuffed chili tacos and the pumpkin blossom tacos, which were absolutely delectable. Beyond the food, the tour offered so much more. We explored vibrant street art, learned about the city’s history, and visited local markets where we sampled unique regional fruits and sweets. It was a wonderful balance of sweet and savory, culture and cuisine. Our guide clearly knew the locals well, which made the experience feel authentic and welcoming, and it showed in the quality of everything we tasted. If you’re looking for a personalized, flavorful, and culturally rich experience, then reach out to Carlos and do a tour."

"Despite coffee shop where I suggested meeting moving, Cristina found us on time. She is a very knowledgeable and likeable person who tweaked the tour to match our individual requirements. She also gave us good advice on how to spend time during the rest of our stay in Oaxaca. We have no hesitation in commending her professionalism, knowledge and clear delivery and recommend her unhesitatingly."

"Raquel took me through the best food and culture tour in Oaxaca market I've ever experienced in any country! She's extremely knowledgeable, if you're not only after eating, but about understanding the local varieties of fruit, Mole sauces, drinks, chocolates - look no further. After these experiences we also sat at a restaurant and had a varied meal. She's an extraordinarily warm and open person, and adapted spontaneously to my interests. "

"We decided to organise this tour for our first evening in order to get to know the city and what it has to offer to make our stay more productive and enjoyable. Raquel was excellent, friendly and engaging. We learnt so much in our 3 hours and tasted some excellent local specialities including a Mescal tasting . Walking around the town Raquel was able to answer many of our questions and give us some great trips. The bonus was as we were doing our own trip in the surroundings with a hire car she was anle to recommend a great place for lunch en route and a wonderful homemade ice cream spot by the El Tule the widest tree in the world and possible the oldest ! Can’t thank Raquel enough. "

"Raquel will not disappoint. Book this tour early in your trip if possible bc doing so will help orient and guide you towards the culinary, artistic and cultural gems of the city. Raquel wants to help you explore your own specific interests and has the education, experience and relationships to help you do just that. The best day of our trip was the one that followed my tour with her. I was able to take what I learned and experienced with Raquel and apply it the very next day towards a much richer experience of the city. ❤️"

"I'd give Sofia 10 stars if I could. My husband and I truly had an incredible time with her. She is friendly, knowledgeable and passionate about her beautiful city. She was flexible, gave us lots of options and recommendations suited for our preferences during the tour. We tasted some of the best food we both loved, and learned so much about Oaxaca's cuisine, tradition and culture. And she's an amazing photographer! When we come back to Oaxaca, we'll not hesitate to book her again. "
