I love walking tours as you get to learn a bit of history and check out cool spots you might not find on your own. And it’s a nice way to meet people if you’re travelling solo. Did the tour on Sat 16/11/19 and our guide (Jacob?) was awesome. He said he tends to get carried away and his boss hates him cos he gives a longer tour than the standard 2 hours haha! He was very knowledgeable, I have no idea how you remember all that history! He checked in to see if we needed to leave at anytime, let us know where bathrooms were, made sure we didn’t get lost/left behind. And he didn’t push us to buy anything and gave us space to check out things that we were interested in, like stopping to watch a wedding callejoneada (parade). Our tour highlighted churches, museums, the theatre and food ranging from street to nice restaurants. I loved the organic market he took us to. I went back the next day. I’d recommend this if you’re interested in learning about history/food/culture in Oaxaca any time during your stay! :)

We really enjoyed our two+ hour tour with our guide. She was so knowledgeable and shared information we wouldn’t have received elsewhere. We find that the young people that are the ‘free’ tour guides are the most passionate about their jobs and love sharing their city with tourists. I only would like to pass on to those that take these ‘free’ tours that tips are the way these young guides make money... I noticed so many people in my group just say thank you and walk away....please do not forget to say thank you with a tip. The tour you just took would cost a minimum of $10.00 per person if you paid upfront! If you don’t come from a tipping culture country then consider it a gift to the person that just spent over two hours with you filling you with information and watching out for your safety as well.

Really enjoyed this 2.5 hour experience. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and unlike many tour guides, he didn't have a script. Most of what he presented came from his own research and his natural curiosity about all things Oaxaca and Mexico. I plan on doing this walk again!

I had Gesenia as my guide - I was so lucky! Lovely person and a most knowledgeable guide. This was a great tour, seeing places and things I would never have found on my own. This is a ‘must do’ way to start your time in Oaxaca. I’ve been telling people who have already been in the city for two weeks about the off the beaten track places I was taken to. They were both surprised and impressed and now want to see them too.

I learned so much about the history of Oaxaca on this tour! I am a true "history buff" and have been conducting my own research on this city. The guide was very entertaining and easy to listen to. He was also very knowledgable about the best places to get traditional Oaxacan food and drink. After his tour, I checked them out and discovered some magical places I would have never found on my own.
