    Female Solo Trip

    Hi! I recently went on a last minute trip to Oaxaca to meet up with artisans and makers. Tanivet was very helpful and knowledgeable. She had brought Enrique with her as a driver, and he was very friendly and kind. I felt safe and met some amazing contacts.

    Awesome experience

    Had a great time with Tanivet. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared with us as much as she could about Oaxaca. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to getting her as a guide in the future

    Thanks a Lot Sofia !

    We scheduled three tours with Sofia and maybe the best way to describe in a few words the exceptional experience we had with her is that “she was simply fantastic, an extraordinary guide”. She is excellent in many ways, energetic, passionate, flexible, patient, helpful, knowledgable and fun! Sofia is really “Superb” We highly recommend using her services.

    Awesome experience with the best guide

    We went to Hierve el Agua with Sofia and couldn‘t be happier to do so. She is a kind, fun and friendly person and a very competent guide as well. We saw so many beautiful and interesting spots, aditionally learned a lot about the local culture and had the best half day you could Imagine. Very happy that we did that, was totally worth the time and the money!

    Best tour guide ever

    Sofia was great! We had an incredible street food tour. She took us to the market to start us off and we had delicious tamales that originated here in Oaxaca. Each stop was really well planned and you could the vendors were the best because they were packed with locals. Go with Sofia, you’ll have the best time!

    The best 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!

    10 out of 10!

    Our guide, Sophia, and driver, Saul, were absolutely amazing!! They made the entire day so memorable, and were so accommodating in every way and really made this trip special. I highly recommend both of them for any tour. They really were the best.

    That was FUN!

    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.

    Tanivet is a marvelous guide!

    We are so fortunate to have chosen Tanivet to guide us on our tour of Monte Albán. Not only is she personable and an excellent English speaker, she has a truly unique perspective as a result of her father’s work—helping to preserve the natural treasure that is Monte Albán. Tanivet is highly recommended.
