A Lovely Walk with Lots to Eat! - Carlos was the best. A dedicated foodie who walked us through our neighborhood in Oaxaca stopping at a taco stand, a beautiful market for tamales (the best ever), a small restaurant for quesadillas (ditto), another taco stand, and an organic market. A wonderful, and satiating, morning of Oaxaca’s best food. Thanks to Carlos who takes his guests only to places he eats at.

Food Tour and more - Carlos was informative and cordial. We talked food but also many cultural aspects of Oaxaca and Mexico. I would definitely book Carlos again.
