Our guide Carlos was very knowledgeable and funny as he took us round the main streets and sites of the Centro district of Oaxaca. He has excellent English and a passion for his city and gave us a lot of tips and will also send you a what to do list by WhatsApp if you want. Armed with this knowledge we explored over the city over the next few days in a much more structured fashion.

Fabulous Street Art

January 28, 2026

Our guide, Fer, was engaging and well informed about the art, history and artists who created the murals. The small group made it easy to see and hear about the abundant art in this district. Don’t hesitate to take this tour. This charming area is filled not only with murals but also galleries and restaurants. One of the best things we’ve done so far!
