I'm Manuel L., your private tour guide in Oaxaca

Guide #61313

Hello and welcome to one of the greatest places on earth, Oaxaca! My name is Mani and I'm a local artist, photographer, musician, and world traveler. I have been providing private tours in Oaxaca since 2020. Oaxaca is an enchanting and magical place where as a local artist I have immersed myself in its Art, Culture, History, Traditions, Architecture, Nature and so much more, giving me an extensive knowledge of what I believe makes Oaxaca unique and magical, with all its incredible little secrets. My intimate and unique tours include various Archeological and Historical sites, workshops where weaving is being done and graphic arts are being made, traditional Tianguis (markets), art galleries. I will be more than happy to offer suggestions of things to do or events to attend during the rest of your stay! Specialized custom tours are also available. Specifically to cater to your taste and needs. Sharing my knowledge with others has always been my passion, providing unforgettable moments and creating memories for families and friends.

As a local, he knew the most charming, relaxing places to stop along the way for a...

    Mani was an excellent guide. We saw many things in Oaxaca that we would never have seen without him. He is obviously a very curious individual and that means he is always learning something new about the city, it's culture, and the people. We had an excellent time with him and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others.
