We learned a lot and enjoyed Diego’s company! - Diego was knowledgeable about Oaxaca and was able to explain things related to the Oaxacan culture extremely well. He tailored the tour to meet our interests. We ordered some fruit smoothies at the market, but otherwise we mostly walked to many historical sites. It was an enjoyable afternoon and an excellent learning experience.

Best short tour covering essential Oaxacan City history & street food! - Ruth was very knowledgeable & tailored tour to our needs. I was traveling with 2 seniors & she accommodated frequent breaks & shopping stops. Food she chose was representative of Oaxacan street food. Her recommendation of La Red was the culinary highlight of our trip!

The best walking tour in Oaxaca - The tour was incredible. Oscar, my tour guide, was so friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about Oaxacan art and culture. He was also very funny :). This is a great tour for anyone who’s interested in exploring the parts of Oaxaca that appeal the most to them.

Fabulous Private Food Tour with Oscar - Oscar was engaging, friendly, informative & his English is excellent. Doing it at 4pm was perfect for a happy hour timing with a meal followed by dessert with ice cream. Picked up some mole to take home too.

Must book Intro Oaxaca food tour - We booked this tour as a group tour but we got lucky since we were the only ones in the group therefore turned into a private tour. Our guide Pepe was fantastic ! He was knowledgeable, informative and most importantly passionate about sharing his knowledge and love for Oaxaca. It was far beyond the food tour - As we booked him on early part of our stay, we can take our knowledge and really enjoy what Oaxaca offers ! Strongly recommend requesting Pepe for the guide !

We Loved our Food Tour with Betsy! - I was part of a ladies trip to Oaxaca in early February. Our food tour with Betsy was clearly the highlight of our time in the city. She speaks excellent English, is quite knowledgeable and led us on a wonderful foodie adventure for almost 4 hours. We all loved our time with Betsy! We cannot recommend her more highly!

Enjoyable food tour of Oaxaca market - We had a good tour with Pepe. He was very knowledgeable about all the Oaxacan foods and expertly led us through the Nov 21st market and through mezcal tastings. There was zero pressure to buy anything which was appreciated. The only reason for 4 not 5 stars was we were clear about having a vegetarian in the group but everything came with meat. Would definitely recommend.
