Immerse yourself in Oaxaca’s vibrant artistry. Witness black pottery crafted in San Bartolo Coyotepec, explore colorful textiles in Santo Tomás Jalieza, marvel at whimsical alebrijes in San Martín Tilcajete, and admire breathtaking clay sculptures by the legendary Maestro José García Antonio.
My wife and I had a terrific evening food tour with Raquel eating some wonderful local street food (the ice cream, mole and crickets were definite highlights), but more importantly meeting some amazing local folks and learning about Oxaxa from a different non-touristly perspective.
Spending time with Raquel was truly special as she not only is deeply immersed in the culure of Oaxaca but also leverages her global experiences that help create the space for stimulating and insightful conversations.
The night ended perfectly with an amazing mezcal in a cool local mezcaleria!
We would highly recommend a tour with Raquel - you will not be disappointed!

Really enjoyable, relaxed & informative
Carlos was really friendly and happy to tailor the tour to our requirements, notably that my wife is vegetarian (whilst I am not). She always had something to try, and I didn’t feel that I missed out on anything either. He was also very good at highlighting where something that looked vegetarian wasn’t technically, so that she could make her own decision depending on how strict she was (e.g. a tamales where the dough was made with lard).
He clearly has a lot of knowledge of the places to eat, and the shop / stall holders who seemed to know him, and we definitely ate in places and tried things that we wouldn’t have done without his guidance.
He was informative about so many things - not just the food we tried, but also about the city and wider food culture. He gave us several recommendations for some restaurants to try, as well as craft places to check out when we mentioned about some souvenirs / gifts we wanted to buy.
Something else that was very pleasant was that we didn’t leave the tour feeling completely stuffed - just nicely full. We have previously done a food tour in another country where we were struggling to manage some of the later tastings, as we were being given really big portions. Carlos managed to fit in more than 10 tastings, but several were small snacks, so it was never too much.

Our best food tour yet !
We had a fantastic tour with Rachel today. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable not only about the Oaxacan food but also about the culture and history of the area. We tried lots of different foods we hadn’t tried before and learnt so much about the area too . Rachel has a very engaging persona and the time flew by. We would highly recommend taking this tour with Rachel
