Excellent tour - Danny was a great guide. He took us to the biggest market in Oaxaca (central de abasto) which had everything. He brought a great sense of calm to a busy and bustling market. Great knowledge. Tried some great local foods and even skipped a queue for a really popular one 😂. Without a decent grasp of Spanish I would think it would be very hard to navigate the market so I would highly recommend. Starve yourself from the night before! Take care during the hot months. Prepare to walk around a lot but at a gentle pace with breaks. Take the opportunity to buy souvenirs along the way. Look for inspiration and enjoy it!

An absolute highlight of Oaxaca, don't miss it! - Fascinating tour. We absolutely could not have accessed this enormous and culturally rich market without a guide. Daniel was so knowledgeable and generous with his information. His English was perfect. The company, and Daniel specifically, have clearly created important relationships with the vendors so, not only do you get delicious food to try, but you get the story of the people who make it and the food's cultural significance in Oaxaca. There were 5 people on our tour, so we were able to weave our way deeper into the market. Be prepared to walk a lot and to fo all your senses to be inundated with Oaxacan flavours.

Oaxaca’s Most Extensive Market Tour - This was our second good tour with Daniel and it was amazing. He’s so knowledgeable and made the tour so enjoyable. We learned many new things this time around and got to try different vendors and foods so it was like a completely different experience. Make sure to bring your appetite because it’s a ton of food. Also the tour says 2.5 hours but because Daniel is so thorough it was more like 4 hours, so be prepared for that as well. Highly recommend and would do it again!

Great cultural experience - Daniel was a wonderful guide. It was obvious how much everyone in the market loves him. He is passionate about Oaxaca and wants to share his love of Oaxaca, it's people and culture with everyone. This tour was recommended to us by friends and we will definitely recommend it to anyone we know that comes to Oaxaca.

Food and market tour - Our tour guide Daniel was very knowledgeable. He shared a passion for preserving traditional Oaxacan customs and cuisine. The food we ate was exceptionally good especially the memals. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone coming to Oaxaca who loves food tours. We have been to at least five world wide and this was one of the best.

A must do tour in Oaxaca. - I am so glad we went on this tour. Our guid was well informed and energetic about his work introducing us to the second largest market in Mexico. The group was the perfect size and we got to taste so many delicious foods from Molés to white Cacau to world famous salsas and quesilla cheese famous to Oaxaca. My daughter couldn’t have dairy or meat and was accommodated.
