The tour of chocolates and galleries was a fantastic experience. We were guided through the streets of Oaxaca by knowledgeable, passional individuals. They made extra effort to tailor to time and plan to our specific tastes and interests. We visited several excellent chocolate shops and several printmaking studios. In each, the work and craftsmanship were outstanding. There was no pressure to buy anything, and we were urged to return on our own time if we wanted to experience more. We received as much or as little explanation and background as we wanted in each location. Etnofood (and Teolab) are staffed with amazing, caring, dedicated individuals. They are guided by passion for sharing and promoting their culture, and they go out of their way to help visitors hear, see, smell, feel, touch, and -- most importantly -- taste what is most genuine and significant about Oaxaca's culture. I took several classes and tours with this organization, and each one was excellent -- entertaining, enlightening, fun, and educational. In my opinion, there is no better way to learn about and begin to truly appreciate Oaxaca's culture than through Etnofood.
