We Loved our Food Tour with Betsy!

Published on Feb, 2024

I was part of a ladies trip to Oaxaca in early February. Our food tour with Betsy was clearly the highlight of our time in the city. She speaks excellent English, is quite knowledgeable and led us on a wonderful foodie adventure for almost 4 hours. We all loved our time with Betsy! We cannot recommend her more highly!

Oaxaca Street Food Tour

Published on Mar, 2020

Elizabeth was a fantasic host and very knowledgeable about the food and history of the area. I would definately recommed this tour

Very good affordable tour.

Published on Feb, 2020

Elizabeth spoke very good English and gave us a lot of information about culture and food in Oaxaca. We were given the opportunity at our cost to try any of the food and drink she discussed. The two markets we visited were close together. We also visited a Mezcal shop and a chocolate shop. We recommend this tour.

AMAZING! Good value for money

Published on Jan, 2020

We booked this tour literally on the morning through email, very quick response time! Elizabeth our guide spoke PERFECT english & explained all the food and its preparation clearly to us and was patient as we asked questions and took notes... the tour ended up as a private tour and went onto 2.5h instead of the 1.5h. We stoped at 2 food markets & ate soooo much food! Definately go without eating breakfast... the flame cooked meat was my favourite & we will go back to eat there again during our stay. We brought our baby in her buggy which was not ideal for the narrow crouded market streets but we managed, i would suggest a baby carrier would be easier... Absolutely would reccomend to friends and family!

Great in-depth tour with Itzl!

Published on Dec, 2019

We booked a street food tour with low expectations. We were lucky that we were the only 2 booked on the tour. We are one vegetarian and one pescatarian. Our guide, Itzl, did not know our food preferences ahead of time, but quickly adapted the tour to suit us. She is a local woman and took us to spots that we wouldn’t have known about via online blogs/guides- including long-standing institutions with history. She gave us information about the history of Oaxaca in relation to food and was a wealth of knowledge about culture. She seems very happy to answer questions- and we had many. She gave us ideas for future places to eat in Oaxaca, too. She was so smart and friendly- she spent extra time with us, past the official end of the tour, answering questions and talking. We were very pleased with our experience and highly recommend Itzl as a guide!
