Great walking tour of Oaxaca - Excellent tour, Sylvia was very informative and shared many things we would not have been aware of about the museums and other points of interest. We would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn more about Oaxaca.

Excellent Introduction to Oaxaca - Gabriel gave a terrific walking tour of the history of Oaxaca and its people. He was well versed and engaging. I'd highly recommend this tour for a first day in the city as it helps orient you to the grid layout. It's also a great tour to have following a tour of Monte Alban. Got a couple of tailored recommendations from Gabriel based on my interest (Mixtec cuisine and gold filigree jewelry). Thanks for a great morning!

A walking tour of historical district - I had a little surprise as description didn't mention that excursion is all walking - that is 3,5 hours. Mostly because the areas that we visited aren't accessible by transport. I came prepared and I had good time. Our guide Antonio did great job managing a bi-lingual group.

Lots of walking but we saw a whole lot of Oaxaca and its people - We did the Oaxaca walking tour on a Sunday, which was great for us as we got to see what an old town in Mexico looks like during fiesta. Lots of families, and vendors selling all kinds of treasures, it was a great tour.

Inside tours - It is difficult when both languages have to be used as questions and conversations cannot be translated effectively and efficiently. Just be aware of this. Since I understand both languages I was aware of what was missed on both sides. Be ready to spend a lot of time inside.
