What are people saying about Oaxaca

AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local.

Yuna_W, Oct 2026

Best food tour, must do experience

Amazing food tour led by Eli. Learned about so many different foods but also culture and history of Oaxaca. My friends and I are big foodies and very knowledgeable about a lot of different foods and yet Eli showed us things we had never even heard of, and took us to spots we would have never found on our own. Food itself was of course amazing. Great pacing, you walk 10k steps but there are breaks to sit and eat. Tour takes about 6h but we could’ve kept going til dinner! My friend wanted to mention she especially loved the fruit tasting. They are super prepared and have hand sanitizer and wipes for everyone so you are comfortable and clean. We did it on our first day in Oaxaca which I highly recommend bc it helped us get situated in the city, learn about history and culture, see some major areas, and know what food to look for for the rest of our trip.

Horseback Riding Tour to Natural Hot Springs in Puerto Escondido

Alexander_M, Sept 2026

Great Time, But No Drinks

This was a great time, real adventure tourism, the horseback ride is great with calm, able horses. Hot springs, lovely and well maintained. Great views, through farms, jungle, and over some pretty rocky steep terrain. Making 6 river crossings as well! Weather will limit how much you can do, for our September tour, we did not visit the homes or have mezcal tasting. Our host did provide us bottled water, but no coffee tea or alcoholic drinks were available as advertised. Come prepared with water, and go to the restroom before the trip, there are extremely limited bathroom facilities as well.

Hierve el Agua, Tule Tree, Mitla and Mezcal Distillery Tour

Matt_C, Sept 2026

Outstanding but very long day trip

Adriel was our tour guide and David was a very capable driver. Adriel made everything very easy, his English was perfect and he was easy to understand because he spoke with a California accent! (Made us feel at home because we are from Sacramento/Lake Tahoe) Be aware that the Hierve El Agua Route is an 11.5 hour marathon tour and it's a wonderful excursion but it's a very long day! The highlights include a very extensive mezcal tasting at a local distillery. We ended the day with a very pleasant buzz (not staggering drunk). We highly recommend "Oaxaca By Locals" as one of the premier companies in the area. Our next trip will be their Jalatlaco Free Walking Tour.

Hierve el Agua HALF DAY trip.

Justin_S, Sept 2026

We had a fantastic...

We had a fantastic half-day trip to Hierve el Agua from Oaxaca! Our guide Luis was friendly and helpful from the very beginning, and he did a great job explaining the different sights and towns we passed along the drive. He and our naturalist guide were both extremely knowledgeable and made exploring Hierve el Agua even more interesting. Luis also gave us some great local food recommendations in Oaxaca, and one of the restaurants he suggested ended up being our favorite meal of the entire trip! Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we’d highly recommend Luis and the tour.

Monte Alban for 3hrs, Black Pottery and Alebrijes with Admissions

Leilani_A, Sept 2026

We had an amazing time on our tour of Monte Albán, the black pottery taller, and the alebrijes taller. Luis, our guide, was fantastic — knowledgeable, passionate about Oaxaca and its culture, and incredibly accommodating, especially since one of us didn’t speak much Spanish. He made sure everyone felt included the whole way through. Highly recommend booking with Luis and this tour company if you want a tour that’s both informative and genuinely fun!

Traditional Cooking Class with Minerva Lopez

Natalia_M, Sept 2026

Highlight of the trip

We had high expectations for this tour and they were absolutely exceeded. The market tour was very informational and we even got to see where maiz is processed. The cooking experience in Minerva Lopez’s home was absolutely incredible since she has so much knowledge to share. Overall a major highlight of our trip and we hope to return soon!
