Experience Off the Beaten Track in Oaxaca with Withlocals

"Tanivet, Thank you very much for the very interesting tour of Jalatlaco! Your knowledge of the barrio and your family background really made the tour great Tim, Connie and Sara Tempel "

"We had such a great tour with Tanivet and so appreciated her sharing her passion for Oaxaca. It was our first time there and we were able to discover places we would have never found on our own! Totally recommend this tour especially with Tanivet."

"Tanavet was amazing! Great communication even after we returned home! She has great historical knowledge and we enjoyed her local walks! We would definitely tour with her again!!"

"Tanivet was incredibly adaptable to our interests and her explanations were always interesting. Her good humour is a real pleasure. Thanks also to Daphné, our driver, for her communicative joy."

"We thoroughly enjoyed our walking tour of the Jalatlaco area in Oaxaca. We had been up really early to get to Oaxaca from Mexico City, but as soon as we met Tanivet, her energy and enthusiasm gave me a second wind! The booking process and communication was excellent, and it was an easy spot to meet. The content of the tour was excellent, Tanivet has a wealth of knowledge of the area and culture which she very clearly communicated to us as she told stories about Oaxaca's history right through to the more recent street art. I can highly recommend this tour and I'm really pleased we did it at the start of our time in Oaxaca as it gave us a really good grounding and background. "

"Tanivet was a knowledgeable guide who gave us historic and cultural context for our trip."

"We spent our last afternoon in Oaxaca with Tanivet, who customized our tour so that we could explore both the Jalatlaco and Xicholmilco neighborhoods before we left. We appreciated that she was especially patient and easygoing given we had our two small children with us in a stroller. She led us to so many beautiful murals and peaceful corners and shared about her personal experience growing up in the neighborhood. We got to drop in a couple of hidden artisan workshops, that we never would have found on our own and try the local beverage tejate. We'd highly recommend Tanivet's tours!"

"It was a pleasure to have Tanivet as our guide for a walking tour of the Jalatlaco barrio this week. We explored the neighbourhood and its street art in a way that we never could have on our own. She was exceptionally knowledgeable about the neighbourhood and it's history, all delivered in a warm and friendly manner. I highly recommend her tour for anyone who wants to get off of the regular tourist haunts of Oaxaca."

"Tanivet was a wonderful guide, sharing history of Oaxaca and the barrio - and the murals! This is our fourth time to Oaxaca and we’ve never ventured here so it was a treat— including the cemetery where we learned more about the day of the dead rituals.Highly recommend Tanivet and this tour! "

"Tanivet took me on a very interesting informative walking tour of places that I would have likely not discovered on my own: park Canteras—what a gem, the impressive building of the archivo histórico del estado de Oaxaca, Jalatlaco—the streets and cemetery. She is very friendly, proud and eager to share the history of her beautiful city. I also appreciated the Spanish tutoring. Muchas Gracias. "
