Description

Forget the typical tourist itinerary and discover the Oaxaca that we locals know and love!

Oaxaca is so much more than pretty buildings and historical dates. It’s a city of 18 cultures—16 indigenous cultures, Afro-descendant culture, and Aztec culture—full of stories, flavors, traditions, art, markets, music, and people. On this tour, we’ll explore the Historic Center together to discover what makes Oaxaca truly special.
We’ll stroll through colorful streets, admire beautiful colonial architecture, visit markets, explore traditional neighborhoods, and discover hidden corners while learning the stories behind each place.
You’ll learn about Oaxaca’s fascinating history and the living heritage of its Zapotec and Indigenous communities, as well as their traditions, cuisine, art, celebrations, and daily life.

But above all, this won’t be a tour where you simply listen to the guide. It will be an experience where you can ask questions, chat, laugh, discover, and get to know Oaxaca through the eyes of a local.

Oaxaca isn’t just a destination. It’s a story waiting to be walked.

Come walk with us, discover the stories behind its streets, and experience Oaxaca like a local.
