Hola! Me llamo Gabriel Sanchez AKA "Gabo" Coming from an Indigenous village in the state of Oaxaca, motivated me to choose and study history in a foreign country in this case the U. S. I chose history because I wanted to know my roots better, my language and more... I have also led tours in Central and South America which has helped me built my guiding experience in the last 12 years. I chose to be a Certified Tour guide in Mexico in order to share my knowledge with travelers interested in the Mexican history and ancient cultures. I currently live in Oaxaca because this is home, there is so much to share about Oaxaca, I never get fatigue sharing my culture with travelers from around the world. My personal experiences from traveling has made me become a better guide and also has motivated me to go deeper academically in other cultures. Being able to guide in about 20 states in Mexico has giving me more knowledge about my country, working with travelers from all over the world has made me realize how much of the world México has. I am truly in love with what I have been doing for 10+ years, there might be other guides with more years of experience than me, but there will never be someone that will out prepare me for every tour. I wake up everyday with 100% energy to give it all to travelers!!! Traveling is not just a vacation is about creating memories and that is what I do with travelers, make memorable experiences. Allow me to make your trip into a memorable cultural experience with your friends and family. As Ibn Battuta once said "Traveling- it leaves you speechless, then turns you in a storyteller" I promise to give the BEST QUALITY service, you and your family or friends deserve!!! #05244 Federal Guide license Diplomas from Courses in Archeology, history and Art.

    We love food and our food tour with Gabo was a great way to really get into the food of Oaxaca! He came on time to our Airbnb and we walked to five different places to get a wide variety of drinks, food & experiences: atole tasting at a fine restaurant, tasty empanadas at a street stand, ice cream/nieves at a market, more food at a fine restaurant and a coffee...

    Dear Ivan It is always my honor to make sure every experience becomes unique, I make sure to give my best in every experience, Oaxaca is a city that has much to offer, it is my "job" to make sure I transmit all the information to travelers, to make sure everyone tries what Oaxaca locals eat, drink and do... Thank you for your kind words Ivan, it was my deepest honor!...

    Gabriel is simply the best! Engaging and fluent. In 2 days, wecovered the Monte Alban archeological site, "black pottery" studio in San Bartolo and the artisans creating "Alberijes" in San Martin Tilcajete. We also enjoyed our hands-on cooking experience with Julitza, after shopping in the indigenous local market of Teotitlan del Valle. Julitza's family also creates...

The woman who began making the pottery is no...
