    Lau fue una embajadora increíble para Oaxaca, ¡llena de amor, orgullo y conocimiento de su ciudad! Pudimos aprender y experimentar una variedad de historia, arquitectura, cultura, arte, comida y política. Me encantan los tours a pie, pero este fue verdaderamente uno de los mejores, ¡todo gracias a la gran personalidad y espíritu de generosidad de Lau! Recomiendo encarecidamente esto para vuestro primer día en Oaxaca para obtener toda la inspiración que necesitéis para el resto de vuestra estancia.

    Tuvimos un fabuloso recorrido a pie hoy con Raúl. Él es súper conocedor de Oaxaca y la historia de México. Claramente es un apasionado de lo que hace, lo cual fue evidente en todos los aspectos de la gira. También es bastante divertido. Recomendaría encarecidamente el tour a pie de Raúl a cualquiera que desee una comprensión más profunda y experiencia de Oaxaca.

    No puedo recomendar lo suficiente! Hicimos el recorrido con Miguel y nos llevó por toda la ciudad, parando en negocios y museos de propiedad oaxaqueña, destacando la importancia de apoyar la economía local. Miguel era muy conocedor y era genial para compartir la historia de México y Oaxaca. Recomiendo encarecidamente su tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Miguel who was very kind, passionate and knowledgable! We learnt a lot about the history of Oaxaca as well as where to go and how to explore the city best. It ended up being a great day out and we would recommend doing this on your first day to get you aware of your surroundings.

A guided walking tour is a great way to spend your first day in Oaxaca. Our guide, Raul, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the local history and culture. The tour lasted a little over two hours, winding through the city center and stopping at key historical points of interest. Raul did an excellent job bringing the background of each site to life. We wrapped up the tour at a vibrant local market with delicious tamales for lunch. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and Raul was an incredibly insightful guide.

This was an excellent introduction to Oaxaca. Raul (sorry if I spelt this incorrectly!) was an excellent tour guide. Incredibly informative and what a delightful sense of humour. He was patient as we took photos and guided us to some memorable spots around the city. We finished at a food market that had a fantastic range of local delicacies.
