Overview

Discover the real Oaxaca through authentic cultural experiences and visits to master artisans, family workshops, and hidden gems beyond the typical tourist route.

With more than 30 years of experience in Oaxaca tourism, Roberto offers personalized private tours designed around your interests. After booking, simply choose one of three authentic routes featuring artisan villages, weaving traditions, mezcal production, Monte Albán, pottery workshops, local art, and cultural landmarks.

Unlike many standard tours, Roberto takes guests to genuine artisan studios and family-run workshops where generations of craftsmen continue their traditions. Whether you purchase something or simply observe, you will experience exceptional craftsmanship and what many travelers describe as "the real thing."

Travel comfortably in a private air-conditioned Chevrolet Suburban with passenger insurance and a flexible itinerary that allows you to explore at your own pace.

Passenger insurance, in an SUV Chevrolet Suburban or Audi sedan with A/C , cold purified water, ice, etc. In case that you want to stop to eat something, I know the best spots. Give you explanations interacting with locals, history, etc. When tourists ask me to stop by the houses of the artisans, I steer away from the most touristy places and stop with true artists and Masters; buying something or not, you can be sure that you will be looking at high-quality craftsmanship or as people say; "the real thing".

You can "play it by ear" and stop or skip some places. Normally takes seven hours each route at your own pace.

  1. Teotitlan del Valle
  2. Exconvento de San Jeronimo
  3. San Martin Tilcajete
  4. Zona Arqueologica de Monte Alban
  5. San Pablo Villa de Mitla
  6. Zona Arqueologica de Mitla
