Great tour!! Our guide Raul Valencia was wonderful. He took us away from the typical tourist areas to smaller interesting points of interest in Oaxaca including great food and bakery options. Raul shared points of history and culture that added to the enjoyment of this worthwhile tour.

Highly recommend Really good tour with Dijon. Highly recommended during your first day to get the history of Oaxaca and recommended places which will help you as you explore Oaxaca during the rest of your trip. Dijon is very knowledgeable and discussed a lot of history of Oaxaca so that we understand the present.

Food tour - come with an empty belly! We had such a great time with Raul on our food tour of Oaxaca. Raul was so incredibly kind, easy going and my husband and I really enjoyed spending the afternoon with him. We visited lots of different markets and stores to try the local cuisine, with Raul being very flexible to see what we had not tried since arriving here and what we liked. He also explained a lot about the food while we were eating as well as the history of those dishes or food groups. Just when we didn’t think we could fit another single thing in, we finished our tour at the Smoke Alley which was such a fantastic experience. Our Spanish is very limited so it was so great to have Raul order and show us this!Overall, we recommend this tour and thank you so much Raul!
