Start Here

Start on the homepage for a first read of the city, or go straight to the things to do page to compare 64 bookable Oaxaca tours, from free walks to full-day trips, before planning anything else.

Where To Begin

New to the city? Start with the overview of things to do, then the walkable historic core around the Zócalo, Santo Domingo de Guzmán and the Andador Macedonio Alcalá. After that, compare tours: 64 bookable options across 10 categories, from $0 free walks on GuruWalk to valley day trips. The editorial team also explains how affiliate links work, so you know exactly what a booking through this site means.

Leaving Oaxaca

Heading onward from the Valles Centrales? The site keeps the coast in perspective: Puerto Escondido, Mazunte and Huatulco sit hours away by road, so they are covered as extensions rather than day trips. Closer to town, the pages on getting to Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua and the craft villages of the eastern and southern valleys cover the realistic range for a single day, with tour options from $26.04 per guest.

Helpful Reading

Start with the things-to-do guide, then branch out: Monte Albán tours, valley day trips toward Mitla and Hierve el Agua, and food pages on markets, mole, mezcal and cooking classes. The 9 GuruWalk free walks are covered too, each pay what you want at the end. This site may earn from qualifying bookings at no extra cost to you.

The Fine Print

How this site works, in plain terms. Read who builds it, how the 64 tours earned a listing, and where the privacy, disclosure and contact details live. Nothing runs long.
