If you want to truly understand Oaxaca , its people, history, and traditions, this is the perfect tour. Everything was tailored to what we wanted to see, and our guide made the experience unforgettable. We visited local artisans, tasted mezcal straight from the producer, and explored stunning landscapes. The flexibility and personal touch made all the difference.

Our tour with Fernando was fantastic! He picked us up right from our hotel and made everything so easy and comfortable. It was just my partner and me, and we always felt safe and well taken care of. Fernando was very professional, respectful, and friendly, and he shared so much knowledge about the culture and history of Oaxaca. We learned a lot while also having so much fun. I highly recommend Fernando, this tour was phenomenal!

One of the reasons why we picked it was both Monte Alban and Mitla on the same day. And the size of a group. It was day dedicated to the sight seeing and very private tour experience. Fernando was really attentive, did not rush us and answered all our questions.

We’ve been on many tours, but this one was exceptional. Fernando’s timing, organization, and passion for Oaxaca are unmatched. He shared history, legends, and even personal anecdotes that gave the sites more meaning. The visit to the rugs family was authentic and not touristy at all.
Great tour with a fantastic, passionate guide

This private tour was everything we hoped for and more. Fernando picked us up in a comfortable vehicle, provided water, and tailored the itinerary to our interests. His explanations at Monte Albán were fascinating, and we loved the stop in the weaving village. It felt like traveling with a friend who knows everyone in town.

Our private tour with Fernando was an unforgettable journey through the heart of Oaxacan history and culture. From the moment he picked us up right on time, we knew we were in for something special. Fernando guided us through Monte Albán and Mitla with deep knowledge and a genuine passion that brought each site to life. He explained the stories behind the ruins, the meaning of Zapotec symbols, and the cultural importance of each place with clarity and enthusiasm. We also stopped at a traditional mezcal distillery and an artisan workshop, where we met local families and learned firsthand about their crafts. The tour was well-paced, personal, and filled with insights we would have completely missed on our own. This experience gave us a true connection to Oaxaca. Absolutely recommended!
Excellent experience
