Private historische Altstadttour von Oaxaca mit Mezcal-Verkostung

We enjoyed seeing colonial mansions, the flower market, traditional food stalls and more, during this walking tour. The Mezcal tasting was the highlight thoughtfully along with small food pairings.

We enjoyed all the stops at local artisan shops, sampling some authentic Oaxacan cuisine, which was tasty and also interacting with friendly locals who shared their traditions and crafts. Recommended walking tour for anyone wanting to explore Oaxaca.

I liked the way the tour guide shared fascinating stories about the significance of the Church and Convent of Santo Domingo. I enjoyed learning about the diverse heritage of Oaxaca and how it has shaped the region.

It was a pleasure joining this private guided walking tour in Oaxaca and to know about the rich history and culture of Oaxaca. I particularly enjoyed the interactive displays at the Museum of Cultures. Highly recommend walking tour in Oaxaca.

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, 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.

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.

1- website was unclear about per person prices. I bought a ticket and it was a group fee of 350. They would not help. Tasting was in a loud bar totally unpleasant.

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.

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.
