Wonderful tour with a wonderful guide!

We were blessed to have Tanivet show us around her beautiful city. We got a great sense of the area's history as well as a solid understanding of how a local lives in Oaxaca.

Enamorados de Oaxaca

With her energetic, life-affirming and positive manner, Raquel not only guided us competently through Oaxaca's culinary landscape, but what we experienced with her was more than just a mole and mezcal tasting: it was living history, identity and the rich heritage of indigenous communities.
