Amazing tour not to be missed - Amazing art tour not to be missed. Gabo and his colleague Maria are brilliant guides- if I’d had more time I’d have done the Oaxaca tour too

Gabi knows his art - We were the only ones on the tour which made it quite special. Our guide was Gabi and he was the best guide of all our 5 tours that we took while in Oaxaca. His knowledge of the art was incredible and the places he chose to take us to were really special

Informative, and fun! - Gabo is very informative and provides a fascinating insight into the history of Oaxaca! We saw some amazing things which we could not have appreciated without Gabo’s help. He is also really approachable and has amazing English. He was able to explain things very clearly and provides a wonderful context to Oaxaca!

Experienced art and culture. - The visits were amazing, the people in each place visited were experts in their area. Gabriel being a lover of Oaxaca and culture took us to places with soul that it is not common to go unless it is with a scholar and in love with art. We visited historical and artistic spaces in the company of Gabriel as a Friend rather than a Guide.

A unique arts tour for folks who want to go deeper than the status quo - We booked this tour after taking Gabriel’s 2-hour walking tour of Oaxaca. We loved him so much we decided to attend this experience too!m and it did not disappoint! This walking tour is a very thoughtful and unique way to experience Oaxacan art and the city as well. We loved that Gabriel focused entirely on Indigenous arts, with no attention on European influences or traditions. Gabriel made links between stone and clay sculptures of the Mixtec, Zapotec, and other cultures 1000s of years ago with today’s blossoming contemporary arts scene (printmaking, textiles, painting, sculpture). Gabriel is engaging and knowledgeable. Truly an exceptional experience!

JOURNEY INTO THE PAST THROUGH THE STREETS OF OAXACA TO CONNECT WITH OUR ROOTS - This wonderful tour allows you to connect and understand the roots and past of an ancient culture, such as Zapotec culture. Through pieces of pre-Hispanic art and wall painting, in private places or in public spaces, you understand the history and culture of Oaxaca. It’s certainly a tour I highly recommend, as those who accompany you in it have the energy, knowledge and passion to make you travel back in time to meet your ancestors and return to the present to recognize how they are still alive. It was a great experience.

Great experience - The tour was very pleasant. It was interesting to approach the city from a perspective that relates the current and the old. It was also a privilege to start the tour in a place that is closed to the public and that you can access thanks to the tour.
