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.

Overview of your Oaxaca tour

Come and walk with me through "the city of many colors", with its beautiful colonial architecture, including its astonishing churches. Let's stroll along the cobblestone neighborhoods with their abundant cafes and restaurants, which are surrounded by magnificent street art. On this tour, we will have an experience of complete stimulation of all senses, while I tell you about the incredible history of Oaxaca. We'll see the famous Arquitos de Xochimilco where once upon a time, water ran through, and now the area is home to some of the most beautiful and expensive real state in the city. We will also discuss photography techniques and experiment with the different use of light and aperture. On a personal note, sharing all of this with you is the best way for me to show you what inspires my own art and contributes to my everyday happiness.

Your Oaxaca tour itinerary

We'll meet in the center of the city, specifically at Templo Santo Domingo de Guzman. After gathering, we will enter the Templo and discuss its history and its importance to the city. We'll then move along through the beautiful neighborhood of Xochimilco. Here we will meander through the labyrinth like streets and alleys, with its rich architecture and beautiful art. We will also visit an eight generation artesan family. If you're hungry close to the end of the tour, we could finalize going to one of the most magical and magnificent patio restaurants in the city in Xochimilco, my personal favorite and my best kept secret. This itinerary could be customized.
