Excellent way to start your stay

Our tour with Zaid was so informative. I wouldn’t say there was a huge emphasis on food, we didn’t eat much, but we got such a great historical tour of Oaxaca, covered so much ground, saw so much architecture, and got so many great tips, that I’m very glad we did this at the start of our trip. Zaid is also planning to send me a customized list of places to hit on our subsequent days.

Fantastic culture and food tour at our own pace

Vero was fantastic, super patient with my 83-year-old woman and we edited the tour to fit her tolerance.Vero gave us a lot of history and information, Saw a lot of art and galleries and learned a lot about the Oaxacan history. I wish it was a bit more food focused with trying different foods but we did run out of time. Overall an excellent tour!

Highly recommend!

Great tour. We were 2 families, with 4 kids between 11 and 13, and it was great. Never too much walking between stops, a great mix of food and history/information, and a great tour guide. Zaid was the best - great energy and soul.

We had a great time with our guide Diego. He showed us around the city and did a wonderful job explaining and pointing out different buildings, art, and plazas. We enjoyed going to his favorite spots at the market as well.

Our guide Martin was very friendly and accommodating. This tour is stated as a historical tour but not too much history was provided. He took us to his favorite eating spots and all were very good. He did tell us we were his first tour.

Operator response

Dear Traveller, Thank you for your feedback and sincere words. We have an intensive training session with all new guides before we assign them to work. In this case, as this guide’s first tour, he may have been a bit inexperienced. Please do not be discouraged, as we will add training sessions with him. Thank you again, and have a pleasant trip!
