Homero, the super guide!

Homero was an incredible driver/guide! He speaks little English, but I speak conversational Spanish [and understand plenty] so we all had a terrific time. He's an area native so pointed out numerous points of interest. We received great insights. Great experience!

More interesting and extensive than i expected. Hope you get Miguel as your guide since he was highly informative on history and culture— important. Suggest going to room III of the Oaxaca Museo de las Culturas beforehand. Ascending pyramids not difficult due to wide steps.

Truly authentic experience with a superb guide - and long established family run food providers.

Dora, Kia ora (que estés bien/con salud). Mel y yo disfrutamos muchísimo de todas las degustaciones en Oaxaca hoy. Tanto las bebidas como la comida resultaron verdaderamente auténticas y deliciosas. Y, por encima de todo, destacaron las fantásticas historias sobre la preparación, la extracción y la producción, así como el papel central de la familia, la gastronomía, la cultura y la política, tanto a nivel local como regional la historia y las costumbres aportaron una gran profundidad a la experiencia que nos ofreciste; fue realmente enriquecedora e inolvidable. También te agradecemos las recomendaciones para apoyar a los artesanos locales. Te dejaremos una reseña muy positiva - ¡de 5 estrellas Michelin! ************ Dora, Kia ora (may you be well/in good health). Mel and I thoroughly enjoyed all the tastings in Oaxaca today. Both the drinks and the food were truly authentic and delicious. And, above all, the fantastic stories about preparation, extraction, and production stood out, as well as the central role of family, gastronomy, culture, and politics, both locally and regionally. History and customs added great depth to the experience you offered us; it was truly enriching and unforgettable. We also appreciate the recommendations for supporting local artisans. We will leave you a very positive review—a 5-Michelin-star review! I hope Google Translate helps me express our gratitude! Nga mihi nui David and Melanee

Private Tour 9 Bays of Huatulco to San Agustin + SPORTS FISHING

FellowTraveler800687, Aug 2026

9 bays tour turns into epic blue marlin catch

We had a great time. Our Captain Marcos "Chuntaro" was great. To my surprise he brought a fishing pole and we hooked a 200+ lb blue marlin. It was the highlight of our 9 bays tour of Huatulco. We stopped to eat at a restaurant called el Chimeco that had fresh catch fish and lobster available. I highly recommend supporting local business and locally sourced food.

Flavors of Oaxaca: Cooking Class with No Set Menu and Local Market Tour

Alyssa_C, Jul 2026

Highly recommend!!!

We had an amazing tour with Oscar and his team! This was actually my second time — I had such a great experience the first time that I came back with my family. We learned so much about Oaxaca, the cuisine, and cooking, and a big bonus was how kind and welcoming everyone was. My father is elderly and uses a wheelchair, and the team made accommodations so he could still join us at the market. It meant so much to have him be part of the experience with us.

The destinations, the breathtaking landscapes, the comfortable transportation, and our certified guide all came together to create an experience I'll never forget.
