Essential Free walking tours of Oaxaca

Brilliant and insightful tour. The perfect way to start our day in Oaxaca. Muchos gracias Carlos!

5 stars!!! Julio is a great guide and has a wealth of knowledge of Oaxacan history

Carlos was passionate about his city and provided a comprehensive list of places to eat and visit at the end of the tour.

Noel provided an informative tour of Oaxaca's historical centre. We visited a a few different places, some which I definitely would've missed if walking around alone.

Such a great tour! We loved it all!

Noel was a great guide (and good person). Took us to some nice spots. Randomly ran into some great happenings in the streets. Even when it started pouring rain, we were still occupied. Was great talking with Noel and very much appreciate the information he shared with us!

A great tour and overall introduction to Oaxaca. Carlos was an excellent guide, spoke perfect English and was incredibly knowledgeable with all the questions we had. I’d definitely recommend!

Abel made the tour to something special, he has a great knowledge and is very passionate about his home oaxaca. Was a pleasure to spend the walk with him.

Ich haette mir mehr Tiefgang erhofft.

I am really sad to say this is the only walking tour I've ever taken that I wouldn't recommend - this is only due to the guide, not the company, which I've done lots of walking tours with in lots of different countries. To me, a great walking tour is really a storytelling tour; our guide merely named places and the people who lived there and gave us some basic facts about Oaxaca - she missed so many opportunities for anecdotes! She didn't understand our questions and struggled to communicate fluently in English. While I would never expect someone in a restaurant or shop in Mexico to speak English, it's kind of important for a guide who specifically gives tours in English. I would do the tour again, but with a different guide.

I had a great time on this tour and learned a lot about Oaxaca. The guide was friendly, professional and informative. Would recommend!!

Fernanda was our fantastic tour guide. Amazing job! Full of information & tips for Oaxaca

Abel was great! There was a large group, but it was all Spanish-speaking so he did a separate tour for another person and myself in English. The information he gave us as we walked and sat was wonderful. I always love doing these chores because I learned so much about the cities that I wouldn’t have known otherwise. Highly recommend.

Excelente

11/10!! Great way to orientate to the city… especially when there are so many hidden treasures not visible from the roadside.

Noel took us into buildings we wouldn’t have thought we were allowed into such as the convent now a hotel. He showed us culinary specialities of the region in the markets encouraging us to try different things.

Fernanda did an excellent job and was very informative about the city of Oaxaca. She also answered all my questions and gave me additional information.

It was a wonderful tour...just the right length, lots of interesting information, great places.

Carlos gave us a wonderful introduction to the beautiful city of Oaxaca. He highly recommend the tour with him.

Noel was really good guide.

We had a great time ! We learned a lot about the culture and the food of Oaxaca. Thank to our local guide !

April was a fantastic guide that was incredible knowledgeable. She was very personable and happy to answer lots of questions. Thank you so much, April!

I basically had a private Tour with Abel because I was the only one speaking english, so it was pretty great! Abel asked Me what my Wishes for the Tour were and adapted it. I liked the Tour of the galleries in the cultural Center of San Pablo the most. He had a lot of Knowledge about the artists and expositions, ist was great!

This tour was excellent and Noel was a fantastic guide! He knew so much about Oaxaca's landmarks, history and culture and shared many interesting stories about the city's significant people and events, which really brought the city to life. Since the tour, we've been enjoying his recommended restaurants and markets, which have all been great additions to our trip. I would highly recommend this tour! 

Carlos is an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, personable, and friendly. I would recommend Carlos to anyone.
