“Life changing” intro to Oaxaca city
Our tour guide Jorge was so great. He is originally from Oaxaca city and had lots of history to share. He had many ‘life changing’ flavors and ingredients to show us, and by the end of the tour we realized he was right. We did the shorter, 2 hour tour and it was a good length. 3 hours would be even more fun to maybe taste more items and squeeze in more stories, but the city is small and walkable so we covered a lot of ground. Bring money to purchase snacks at the places you stop, cash is best because they are small purchases.
Great introduction to Oaxaca
My guide was wonderful, taking my me to some interesting places and great food. I learned so much ch about the city
Wonderful tour and guide
Fabulous tour with Bruno. He is kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Oaxaca, it's people and culture. We hit all the highpoints of the central district. And he shared his recommendations for additional must see spots outside of the city.
Dia de Los Muertos Tours
Pablo was an excellent tour guide very knowledgeable about the history of the city and was very lively. Had great knowledge of food and places and recommendations for places for later in our trip.
Great Tour of Oaxaca City
I had a wonderful tour with Jorge. His knowledge of the city coupled with his warm personality made the walk of Central Oaxaca City really come alive. Jorge tailor made the walk specific to my wishes (I wanted to visit and photograph the cathedrals) and was knowledgeable about each church - the history, the architecture and the politics. We also visited several markets and museums and took the time to really explore each of them. Again, I can highly recommend the tour and if you’re interested in really learning about the unique character and culture of Oaxaca City, this is definitely the tour to take - I can recommend it emphatically.
