Perfect way to start Day 1 trip

Published on Nov, 2024

Ricardo and Alejandro did a great job of mixing history, architecture, some anthropology and archeology as well. They invited questions and answered all of them. They had great personalities and were really fun to be with. We ended with a mezcal tasting and they passed on a great dinner idea to us and we went the next night, "Ancestral" was fantastic. So were the guys!

The local guide knew about mezcal inside and out

Published on Jun, 2024

The local guide knew about mezcal inside and out, and was bilingual, which made this tour educational and fun as well. We got to see and know how mezcal is made from start to finish, spanning many generations. We enjoyed the entire tour.

Got to see some wonderful parts of Oaxaca

Published on Feb, 2024

The tour guide showed us some wonderful parts of Oaxaca that we would not have known to visit on our own. We saw the old aqueduct, multiple artisan studios, and drank tejate in what had been the patio of an old house. All along the tour, the tour guide recounted the history of the city and of it's traditions. It was a great afternoon.

Preservation of cultural practices, was my highlight of this tour

Published on Aug, 2023

As I am from India, my tour of South America was something out of the world for me. In this tour, I saw how mezcal is produced and I tasted some varieties of this hand-crafted spirit. The traditional Oaxacan lunch was delicious. I feel that the Oaxacan cuisine has some aspects common with Indian cuisine. It was great to see so much of preservation of cultural practices, during this tour.

Great introduction to Oaxaca

Published on Apr, 2023

This was a wonderful introduction to the city of Oaxaca. We started with an overview of the people and cultures of the city followed by a walk to various sites. Highlights included the Church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, the textile museum, mercados and a mezcal tasting. Our guides also wrote down tips for additional things to do in Oaxaca. We took their advice and had a walk around the neighborhood of Jalatlaco which has delightful street art. Overall, a great start to our first day in Oaxaca.
