I love walking tours as you get to learn a bit of history and check out cool spots you might not find on your own. And it’s a nice way to meet people if you’re travelling solo.
Did the tour on Sat 16/11/19 and our guide (Jacob?) was awesome. He said he tends to get carried away and his boss hates him cos he gives a longer tour than the standard 2 hours haha! He was very knowledgeable, I have no idea how you remember all that history! He checked in to see if we needed to leave at anytime, let us know where bathrooms were, made sure we didn’t get lost/left behind. And he didn’t push us to buy anything and gave us space to check out things that we were interested in, like stopping to watch a wedding callejoneada (parade). Our tour highlighted churches, museums, the theatre and food ranging from street to nice restaurants. I loved the organic market he took us to. I went back the next day.
I’d recommend this if you’re interested in learning about history/food/culture in Oaxaca any time during your stay! :)
