Top Oaxaca Walking Tours

"Our tour guide Gabriel, he was amazing!! Very acknowledged and patient with us The tour is very well put together We were able to see great places and at the same time do some shopping"

"Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! Got to try lots of different foods and drinks at two markers. The tour was the highlight of our trip to Oaxaca."

"Loved the tour. One of the best we’ve taken. Guide is so nice and knowledgeable. Food you can’t find on your own at traditional family businesses. Would definitely do again. We’ll done!"

"Margo is knowledgable and personable, a winning combination for a tour operator. The tour began with a visit to the print workshop of Abraham Torres, which opened my eyes to the intricacies of printing, and gave me an understanding of how widespread it is in Oaxaca. We walked and learnt the background of many of the works of street art - very interesting , and finished with a delicious surprise visit to Chimalapa Cacoa. I’d suggest that you bring a good snack if you think you may get hungry. Although we stopped at two places, the main offerings were drinks and sweets. My honey and I recommend the trilingual Margo and Vamos O Qué?!"

"Cesar picked us up at our hotel and drove us out to his community where he explained his culture and Zapotec way of life in a modern Mexico. This is not a mass-marketed, corporate brochure experience. Instead, we were introduced to Cesar's family, the women's co-op where shoes are made, a lady who sells and makes dresses for the community, and passersby in the community who at times joined us to see spectacular museum-worthy artifacts like an organ from the 1700s. This experience was like hanging out with a good friend at his house where we could talk and ask questions over freshly made food and drinks. When I expressed my interest in mezcal, Cesar took us out in his tuk-tuk to their land where his family grows, harvests, and distills artisanal mezcal. The ability to walk in the dirt fields next to years-old agave plants was truly special. Each time we thought we had had the greatest experience, Cesar would take us to see one more thing. We were so delighted at the end of our day to be gifted the chocolate we had made from roasting cacao beans, cracking them from their shells, grinding them on a metate and tasting all along to see how the flavors developed. The day with Cesar was the highlight of our trip to Oaxaca."

"The Zapotec village weavers were outstanding. Mitla was a wonder. Great tour, and wonderful guide. We had been to Hueve el Agua before but it is still impressive."

"The clapping and acoustic was so interesting. Antonio was great - so knowledgeable and respectful of the past."

"Our driver Miguel was fantastic! Excellent driver, saw what we wanted to see and connected us with nice people at the sites we visited. We booked a private tour for three - money well spent. Comfortable, air-conditioned, new van. Highly recommended."

"The site was amazing and our guide was very knowledgeable. It involved a lot of walking and the scenery from the Monte Albán site was amazing"

"This is great for the food lover, and the rest of us. One of us is a food nerd, the other not. We both had a fantastic day. Was incredibly enjoyable."

"Great class. Knowledgeable instructor. We made many traditional Oaxaca foods. Highly recommended. Not rushed and no preset menu."

"Tour and guide was superb. His background in archeology enhanced our experience. His knowledge and explanations were not notch. Don Rosalio Felix treated my family and myself with courtesy and a deep regard for someone seeking knowledge beyond cursory and superficial facts about the people, place and events at Monte Alban. Without reservation I recommend the operator of this tour. On a closing note, Mr. Felix even accommodated our need for cool refreshments on what was a hot and very sunny August day. Truly a scholar and a gentleman."

"Was the only one on the tour but still had a great time learning so much about the culture and origins of food! Definitely more immersive than a simple food tour- you learn about the history as well. My guide was awesome- really enjoyed spending the day with her !"

"We had an excellent afternoon with Alex!! This tour is well worth it if you want to see true Mexican food"

"Saul was a great guide, very knowledgeable, and speaks perfect English. The hot springs are situated on a scenic river, so you get a great view while you soak in the hot springs!"

"This was a nice tour of some highlights of Huatulco and Edwardo dropped us off at a nice restaurant for dinner."
