Fantastic walk around town seeing art galleries and eating chocolates! Pablo was knowledge and worked hard to make sure the whole family mom, dad, and 2 teenagers really enjoyed the experience- definitely recommend!
This tour was more than I could ask for. Our tour guide Juan was amazing & very knowledgeable about the different workshops we visited. It was fun to also get chocolate breaks in between workshops. The workshop owners were super friendly & open to inviting you into their space. This tour is a lot of walking so go prepared but Juan was great with checking in on us & if we needed a break we got a break before continuing our walk. Have cash ready if you want to buy any art pieces.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that our Art Workshops and Chocolate Shops tour exceeded your expectations. We couldn’t agree more—Juan is truly amazing! He’ll be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated his knowledge and attentiveness throughout the tour. It’s fantastic that you enjoyed visiting the workshops and felt so welcomed by the artists. Sharing the vibrant art scene of Oaxaca with our guests is a real joy, and we’re so glad the chocolate breaks added an extra sweet touch! 🍫 Thank you for your recommendation. We hope the rest of your time in Oaxaca was just as memorable! Warm regards, The Etnofood Team
The Art Workshops and Chocolate Shops tour was a fantastic experience. We were guided through the streets of Oaxaca by knowledgeable, passional individuals. They made extra effort to tailor to time and plan to our specific tastes and interests. We visited several excellent chocolate shops and several printmaking studios. At each location, the work and craftsmanship were outstanding. Quite a bit of the tour was "behind the scenes" -- a chance to see artists at work, to see chocolate being made, and to meet the artists themselves. There was no pressure to buy anything, and we were urged to return on our own time if we wanted to experience more. We received as much or as little explanation and background as we wanted in each location. Etnofood (and Teolab) are staffed with amazing, caring, dedicated individuals. They are guided by passion for sharing and promoting their culture, and they go out of their way to help visitors hear, see, smell, feel, touch, and -- most importantly -- taste what is most genuine and significant about Oaxaca's culture. I took several classes and tours with this organization, and each one was excellent -- entertaining, enlightening, fun, and educational. In my opinion, there is no better way to learn about and begin to truly appreciate Oaxaca's culture than through Etnofood.
