A Magical Way to Experience Oaxaca: History, Culture & Incredible Food with Yesi
AidaB 12,Jan 8, 2026

5.00We took a private historic food tour with Yesi, Yesi is an exceptional guide—she taught us so much about the history of Oaxaca, its regions, traditions, culture, and of course, its food. Her English is flawless, she’s charming and warm, and it was clear she has genuine relationships with the vendors she brought us to—everyone knew her and welcomed us like friends. And the food… wow. Every stop was delicious and memorable, with flavors we’re still talking about. This tour was absolutely worth the time and money and is one of the best ways to experience Oaxaca. If you’re even considering it, book with Yesi—you won’t regret it.
Another excellent tour

5.00We came actoss this company by chance and have nothing but praise for their kindness, professionalism and readiness to help. We had two tours so far (out of four booked) and they were really good. We had Papi in Oaxaca who amused us with stories about culture and food and history. A real gem. Thank you!

5.00We really enjoyed our Oaxaca City Tour with Monica. We saw several beautiful churches, parks, monuments and more. Monica was friendly, kind and knowledgeable about the many gems of Oaxaca. Also Monica spoke very good English and was able to answer our many questions. We hope to visit Oaxaca again and would be delighted to have Monica as our guide.
Well worth the time!

5.00I have been in Oaxaca for close to two months and did not get around to any walking tours. Had no plans so I showed up. I have walked around Oaxaca many times but the guide brought us to neighborhoods and galleries that I had not seen. (even they were just a block away from the streets I walked on many times)
Private Walking Tour of Oaxaca City Centro

5.00How amazing to have a private city tour with Elizabeth, a young English-speaking local that really knows her city. We walked around Centro the day before and were wowed by the Historico Centro but really didn’t know the details of what we were looking at. Elizabeth explained details very well and was patient with all the questions we asked. I would recommend this tour without any reservation.
