"We stayed at a hotel in this neighborhood, and this tour gave a great overview of restaurants, artist shops, street murals, and the history of the neighborhood. "
"We did a walking tour with Raquel around Jalatlaco, Oaxaca. She was brilliant, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, understood culture, people and the natural world. We learned so much and came away in awe of Raquel. She is also great company and very kind. Definitely recommend. "
"Our tour of Jalatlaco with Raquel was wonderful! It was an excessively hot day and my daughter wasn’t feeling well, so Raquel quickly adjusted our itinerary and yet still managed to show us the main areas of interest within Jalatlaco! She was easy to talk to and provided insight on historical, cultural and social levels. A 10/10 for sure! Would recommend Raquel to anyone! "

Beautiful tour of Jalatlaco
"Tanivet provided our family with an exceptional art tour of the Jalatlaco neighborhood. Although we had visited the neighborhood before, she introduced us to art that we had never encountered. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the history of Oaxaca and appreciating the beautiful art. "
"Tanivet was delightful, knowledgable and really listened to what we wanted. I would highly recommend her for any of your tours!!!"
