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.

The city tour gets involved with a little bit of everything, however not to mention the history of one of the most colonial cities in México. We walk inside the churches, one of the most amazing churches we have in Oaxaca is Santo Domingo de Guzman and Cathedral. We also visit the most important museum in the State. We walk to markets, zocalo and some other small museums, we can also try some local food, the city tour is done by walking, does not require a vehicle. If you come to Oaxaca, a perfect way to start is with a city tour to know what you will be looking at.
Gabriel was truly incredible. Punctual, friendly, welcoming. He managed a lot a large group with a lot of personalities like he had known us for years. Wonderful sense of humor. We were so sad to see him go. I cannot recommend him enough.
We had a tour of Oaxaca given by Gabriel and CANNOT SAY ENOUGH ABOUT HIM He was SO knowledgeable about everything having to do with the history of Oaxaca, and took us to the original adobe homes, the beautiful cathedral, the zocalo, and took us to a Organic marketplace We created our own adventure and he was amenable to anything we wanted to We created our own adventure and he was amenable to anything we wanted to do-he was hands down the best tour guide we have had!! 5 Stars FOR SURE
Gabriel was an incredible guide - we had a fantastic day with him getting our bearings in Oaxaca. I could not recommend him highly enough!
Gabriel is an excellent tour guide that made our trip to Oaxaca a lot easier and fun. He is very professional, friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable.
Gabriel Knows the Mexican history pre-Hispanic, post- Hispanic including politics and his incredible positive attitude to personalize our tour to make the most of it, at the end we realized that really can't ask for any more that made the difference to our trip to Oaxaca.
Every once in a while we luck into that guide who is the "secret sauce" that makes a new place even more special and memorable ... and Gabriel is that person in Oaxaca! He was so knowledgeable but also such a microcosm of the area. He took us to some wonderful places (including amazing restaurants) and helped them to come alive for us. Due to closings, he even created a custom excursion for us that was the highlight of our entire trip! We would return to Oaxaca just for Gabriel!
