Free tours a Oaxaca

Julio led us on a walking tour to see some of the fabulous street art in the Jalalatco neighborhood of Oaxaca. There were people from four different countries on the tour and five of them — including the guide — spoke English as a second language. Julio did a great job communicating in English with everyone. He was very knowledgeable about the murals, their historical, artistic and political significance, and even had personal connections to some of the artists. The tour is only two hours and is definitely worth your time!

Sehr schöne Tour durch Oaxaca. Unser Guide Julio gab uns eine perfekte Mischung aus Kultur, Geschichte, Informationen zu Street Art und kulinarischen Tips. Er war super freundlich und professionell und hatte auf jede Frage eine Antwort. Ich würde die Tour jederzeit wieder buchen und kann Julio nur wärmstens empfehlen.

Su is a great guide that knows a ton about the history of Oaxaca. I liked the fact that it wasn’t the typical guide that “forces” you to spend time at certain restaurants or places. She also shares a pdf document afterwards with the places she talked about a recommendations for the city. 100% would recommend!

Dulce was a great tour guide! We really enjoyed the tour and would 100% recommend. The art was very cool and it was super interesting to learn more about it. ¡Muchas gracias, Dulce!

Se nota que Su estudió los temas de los cuales nos habló; ella los presentó de manera matizada, lo qué los guías por lo general no se dan la pena proponer. Su es una guía muy profesional. Disfruté mucho del tour y hubiera perdido una comprensión más amplia de Oaxaca y de su historia de no haberlo hecho. ¡Mil gracias, Su!

Loved this tour and the energy of the guide! Would def recommend!

La visite était super, Dulce était une super guide et nous a expliqué beaucoup de choses intéressantes.

This was hands down the best walking tour I’ve ever done! Our guide was absolutely amazing — so passionate, knowledgeable, and engaging. She brought the street art of Jalatlaco to life, weaving in the cultural and historical context behind each mural with such depth and enthusiasm. You could really feel her love for Oaxaca and its artists. She answered all my (many!) questions about the symbolism in the artwork and helped me see how much meaning is layered into every piece. I walked away feeling inspired, informed, and completely in awe of the city’s creativity. If you’re in Oaxaca, do not miss this tour — she’s incredible!

We’ve been on many tours and this was one of the best. Just the right amount of stops and information. Was happy that we went to more than just the typical tourist places. Noel shared some interesting stories and history. Very good English. Thanks Noel.

Su was so lovely and welcoming.Her knowledge of all things Ozxaca was exceptional, and while the city is small, she brought us on such an interrsting and fun tour. Highly recommend

I loved this tour! Beautiful explanations, very friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. Combination of history, culture, politics in the tour. Great way to get to know Oaxaca and barrio de Jalatlaco.

Dulce was a very friendly and nice guide. We were the only ones taking the tour but I can recommend it to everybody. It is a very nice way to get to know the Jalatlaco area in the city.

We had a great tour with Dulce. She gave us a lot of background information and answered all of our questions.

Amazing walk this morning around Iaxaca. I saw neighborhoods i would not have known to visit. I would highly guru walk. And our guru Sulymen (Su) was wonderful.

Julio was fantastic! He tailored the tour to the group’s interests, making sure to go into depth into the history and food elements. We had a great time!

A wonderful tour with a knowledgeable, friendly & engaging guide. We learned a lot & have a new appreciation of the murals & art we saw. Highly recommend it. Thank you very much!

Si nunca has venido a Oaxaca, es una gran opción para conocer la ciudad en primera instancia.

Dulce fue nuestra guía y fue súper genial. Nos dio un poco de historia, recomendaciones, y contesto todas nuestras preguntas.

Well-paced and informative tour. Our guide was obviously enthusiastic about sharing the culture, food, and art of Oaxaca, even sharing with the group some of his favourite treats and spots to visit. This tour was much better than other GuruWalk experiences that I've tried elsewhere.

Definitely a great start to my stay in Oaxaca - lovely guide , great English and v knowledgable

I absolutely loved this tour. The art was incredible, and our host was perfect. Was an incredible experience

Had the most amazing tour with Charlie (Carlos)! His knowledge was incredible and was quick to share recommendations throughout the tour.

Wir hatten eine super Zeit mit Noel, er war sehr sympathisch und die Tour informativ. Können wir 100% empfehlen!

Muy buen tour, disfrutamos mucho de la tradición y de las comidas, así como de la historia. Entretenido y educativo. Recomendable 100%
