"We had a fantastic tour with Rachel today. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable not only about the Oaxacan food but also about the culture and history of the area. We tried lots of different foods we hadn’t tried before and learnt so much about the area too . Rachel has a very engaging persona and the time flew by. We would highly recommend taking this tour with Rachel "
"Raquel is passionate about the culture and walked us through every taste perfectly. "

Best tasting tour Oaxaca has to offer!
"We had such a lovely evening with Raquel who showed us all the delicious food and drink around Oaxaca. Her knowledge was exceptional and she knew so much about the culture as well! We felt very educated and well looked after, would highly recommend! "
"Raquel was an ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL guide.
This was our first time in Oaxaca and we really wanted to experience both the food and the culture. Raquel took the time to take us around the city centre and explained many historical and cultural aspects of the city that we never would have known without a guide like her.
Raquel took into account what foods we really wanted to try, but also made sure that we tried foods we would only get in Oaxaca. She also broke up the tour between eating non-stop (which was fantastic), but also showing us the areas in the city and describing their cultural significance. She also taught us about the way food and the preparation methods of food have influenced the culture and habits of the people of Oaxaca.
The tour felt like a walk with a good friend, and I would recommend it to anyone who is going on their first trip to Oaxaca!"
"Wonderful tour guide! Informative about local history and the food vendors."

Authentic Oaxacan Experience!
"Carlos took us on a wonderful food tour experience of Oaxaca. He was kind, jovial, and answered all our question. We tasted a traditonal mole breakfast with coffee and hot chocolate (what a treat!) and sampled traditional food from the market, street tacos and so much more! Carlos was generous with his time and shared his love of his city and food. It was the perfect start to our trip"

Amazing and accessible tour
"We had a great time with Carlos, including my 6 year old daughter who liked learning about all the food and trying bits and pieces. Carlos took us to parts of the city we probably wouldn't have seen otherwise which was lovely. I loved that he told us about the families and the women making the food. We ate loads and definitely didn't need anything more until late that day! From the moment of booking, Carlos was attentive and responsive. He was so lovely and really well organised. 100% recommend a tour with Carlos. "

Wonderful food tour with Carlos!!
"We had a perfect food tour with Carlos. He brought us to local markets and offered us great version of some basics and so many wonderful new tastes that we would never have found without him. He is a warm, pleasant and wonderfully communicative guide for this English-speaking couple!! Couldn’t rate him higher. "

Fun and knowledgable!
"We enjoyed the tour very much! Sofia was very knowledgeable and took us to several interesting places. We definitely wouldn't have found these places on our own. My favorite part was seeing the old aqueduct. "
