The best tour we’ve ever taken - 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.

The perfect mix of history and culture - Fernando’s tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and local flavor. We never felt rushed, and every stop felt intentional. His knowledge of Zapotec and Mixtec history is deep, and he explains it in a way anyone can understand. Don’t miss this experience if you come to Oaxaca.

A true cultural experience - 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.

Tour you must Do in Oaxaca - 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!
