Wonderful genuine tour - We absolutely loved our time with Vero. She is very knowledgeable about history and culture, is very kind and fun, and was flexible towards our interests. We tried many different classic Oaxacan tastes, she took us all over to different areas we hadn’t visited yet, it was so fun!

Don’t Miss this Culinary Odyssey! - I truly found this food tour was excellent! Perhaps the best of this type I ever participated in. Papi was terrific - knowledgeable, interesting accessible and patient. He brought me to many wonderful food stations and I sampled a wide variety of delicious Mexican food. He also shared important information about the history, culture and trends in Oaxaca throughout our time together. I highly recommend him and this tour to all travelers seeking Oaxaca culinary experiences (and much more…)

Private food tour - Yes, our tour guide, was excellent. We tried champurrado, atole, hot chocolate and mole tamales. Every stop was full of history and foods to try. I would totally recommend this tour.

Oscar is a very... - Oscar is a very passionate guy full of knowledge. He was flexible and adjusted the guided tour based on what we said we’re interested in. His English is great! We did this on our very first day in Mexico and now we know what to do with the next days we have here in Oaxaca. Would really recommend!

Fantastic tour with Oscar! - Oscar was the perfect guide for our Oaxaca food and city tour—incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. What made the experience truly special was his flexibility; he tailored the entire three hours to our interests, taking us to hidden markets we never would have discovered on our own. His insights into the local food scene and culture made everything come alive, and he struck the perfect balance between being informative and letting us explore at our own pace.

Girls Trip - I booked this tour for my daughter and I during Dia de Los Muertos weekend. So glad we did this tour. Our guide, Oscar, was great! He picked us up at our hotel, we walked to downtown and basically took a circle around the town. We stopped to eat and would have been hesitant to wait in the lines, it seemed a bit overwhelming due to the crowds, but I am grateful he convinced us to wait it out. It was actually not a long wait at all and he helped to pass the time with details of the shops around us. This is the best part of tours such a this. We would’ve missed out on so much of the history, which we love, and knowledge of the town without the help of a guide. Oscar even took our pics at some of the stops around town. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and Oscar!
