Traveler reviews
Great!
My boyfriend and I loved this tour; we wanted to know more about the cultural heritage of Oaxaca, we were served! The visit to the pottery studios run by local families was exceptional: we were able to observe them and learn more about the different processes and motivations when it comes to creating. Lunch was delicious, and the visit to alebrijes studio was magical. After this rich day of sharing and learning, we had the opportunity to taste Mezcal in a distillery, what better way to end such a beautiful day! The tour was very well organized and the guide punctual, very pleasant and full of knowledge!
Great food tour
This was a great tour where we experienced lots of great, local food but also learned so much about the city and Oaxacan culture. The tour was very well paced where we didn't feel uncomfortably full or that there was too much eating. I highly recommend it.
A Dream Tour!
Our awesome guide, Jorge, immersed us in some of the very best of Oaxacan culture! We visited the studios of clay and pottery artisans who are not only masters of their crafts but also part of the origination and history of these art forms! A delicious group lunch followed by a masterclass-level mezcal farm/distillery tour completed a perfect day.
Worth every penny- the highlight of my time in Oaxaca.
This experience was beyond great. The guide, Jorge was informed, respectful, attentive, and lots of fun. He set a positive vibe for the whole trip. The tour encompassed too many highlights for me to even begin to describe! There were only one couple besides myself, so it was essentially a private tour. Everyone had such a fantastic time. It was like old friends getting together. Jorge chose amazing representatives of different crafts and artisans. This all day tour changed itinerary slightly, due to unexpected closures, but Jorge knew the area and the people so well that it went off seamlessly. I can wholeheartedly endorse this tour for those interested in seeing beautiful areas in and around Oaxaca, and authentic craftsmen and women.
tons of information and fun
This tour opened my eyes to all the artisan variety of Oaxaca, all the information of the guide, the knowledge of the villages and the passion for Oaxaca is something that has no equal! Thank you very much Mexico Kan Tours for the best tour I could have taken!
