Oaxaca tours

Oaxaca City has an otherworldly feel. There's a strong indigenous influence here, and the Zapotec and Mixtec tribal culture enriches the city's parks and public squares. Visitors to the historic centre will find colonial-era buildings, colorful markets and food stalls serving local delicacies. Take a private Oaxaca tour and explore southern Mexico with a local guide. Meet your guide at a cafe near the Zocolo for morning coffee and a history lesson. Amble along pedestrianized Andador Turistico to the Basilica of Our Lady of Solitude, Oaxaca's patron saint, then stop at a street stall to taste mole poblano, Oaxaca's signature dish. Hop in your guide's car and drive to Monte Alban, a pre-Colombian archeological site. Marvel at the massive terraces and carved stelae, then climb the platforms for stunning views over the valley. Our guides can create tailor-made trips to Guelatao, Benito Juarez's birthplace, or the Ocotlan valley to visit carvers and weavers.
