Affiliate Disclosure

When you book one of the tours or activities listed here through certain links, the booking partner pays us a commission. This page sets out which links earn that money, which earn nothing at all, and why the arrangement never shapes what gets recommended.

Where Our Commissions Come From

Most tour links here point to booking platforms that pay a commission on completed bookings. The comparisons cover 64 bookable tours across 10 categories: valley day trips, free walks, craft workshops, bike and hiking tours, mezcal tastings, Monte Albán, food and market tours, cooking classes, walking and history tours, and Día de Muertos experiences. Every one of the 64 publishes a from-price, running from $0 to $300. Booking partners also sit behind stays, car hire, transfers, flights, eSIM and transport tickets wherever those categories appear. No link anywhere on this site is paid placement.

Pages With No Paid Links

Not every page on oaxacatravel.guide carries affiliate links. Some articles, including background explainers on Monte Albán, the Valles Centrales and the Jardín Etnobotánico's free guided visits, contain no bookable products at all and earn the site nothing. Where a page does link to a bookable tour, stay, transfer or eSIM, it may earn a commission on qualifying bookings at no extra cost to you.

Our Editorial Line

The Oaxaca Travel Guide editorial team writes about the destination as a whole, not as a sales pitch for any single operator. Coverage spans 64 tours across 10 categories, from valley day trips and mezcal tastings to the 9 GuruWalk free walks, where guides are paid by tips alone. No operator can pay for placement or a better write-up; commissions never influence which tours are described or how.
