Hi there! Nice to meet you

Tanivet

I am a lifelong Oaxacan with deep roots in the city, and I am passionate about sharing my enthusiasm about this place I love and know so well!

My father was an architect and historian, so since childhood, I've been immersed in all that makes Oaxaca unique. As an artist and a longtime teacher, I want others to see Oaxaca as I do and gain an appreciation of its crafts, its culinary traditions, and its rich mix of cultures.

There is nothing I enjoy more than introducing others to all Oaxaca has to offer! I will share with you those places Oaxacans love most.

Tanivet was a great guide for us to do the highlights and hidden gems walking tour. She pointed out a lot of places for us to consider during the rest of our trip, and was a wealth of knowledge about Oaxaca, its cultures, customs, celebrations, neighborhoods, and history. She was so warm and welcoming and was a great way for us to kick off our time in Oaxaca. Highly recommend.Tanivet is one of the highlights!

We had an excellent time and a very full day on our tour with Tanivet and Enrique. They were both full of very fun facts and we learned a lot about the region. They were flexible to add in stops and change up the itinerary. They also answered a lot of questions for us about navigating Oaxaca. We felt very comfortable in their care!Tanivet is an excellent tour guide!

We used Tanivet for the night tour and the a few days later for the tour of Jalatlaco. She was terrific! She was on time, responded to questions easily, and overall very friendly. Tanivet is very knowledgeable and shared so much of the history of the city and surrounding area. We learned a lot. It is apparent that she has a passion for what she does. I highly recommend her as a guide. Make sure you've got good walking shoes because she will take you everywhere!

We spent the better part of the day with Tanivet and a driver. She was knowledgeable and friendly. She checked in with how we were doing and if she was meeting our expectations throughout the day .Sheba’s extensive knowledge of Mexican history, particularly that of Oaxaca. We could not recommend her more highly !!Great guide in oaxaca

We enjoyed one and a half days with Tanivet guiding us around Oaxaca. She is very knowledgeable about the city and the small villages and artisans. She knew just where to take us based on our interests and was a delight to be with! The best guide in Oaxaca!

Okay with all the guiding services available you got to pick one. We are so happy we picked with locals in Tanivet. From pickup at our lodging location through touring artisan villages and craft shops through a wonderful Empanada lunch and then the ride home could not have been better. We have been there and done that. This tour exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend.That was FUN!
