A wonderful tour d’horizon of Oaxacan life

A warm and erudite evening with Raquel involving gastronomy, Oaxaca’s cultural traditions, anthropology and Mexican history. A wonderful window into the Oaxacan way of life. Raquel will be the first port of call when we inevitably come back.

Personalized, Insightful & Delicious!

We had a great time on the street food tour in Oaxaca! Raquel was super friendly and shared lots of interesting insights—not just about the food, but also about the city’s culture and history. She adapted the tour to our needs, which made it feel very personal. We also appreciated that she helped us find vegan tasting options. Highly recommended!

Tanivet is one of the highlights!

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.
