Foodie walking tours are my favorite in any part of the world and this one did not disappoint. It works because Betsy is an energetic bundle of information and kindness, and because the Oaxacan markets are fabulous. Come on an empty stomach, wear good walking shoes and prepare for a fabulous day. The other unexpected delight was that everyone in our group was so lovely. It made for fun chatting over ants and grasshoppers! There may be other foodie walking tours in Oaxaca but hard to image they can beat Betsy’s!

We explored three Oaxaca markets and they were all incredible! Camilla, our guide, was so knowledgeable about the food, its history and its preparation. We got to try things that we probably would never have experienced without the tour - it was truly excellent!

My husband and I love food tours, and this one was the best one we've ever been on. The variety of food that we tried was amazing...from traditional Oaxacan food to the various bugs found in the cuisine. The variety of food we had was far beyond any other food tour. We tried a lot of stuff! We went on this tour our first full day in town, which was perfect. After this tour, we could easily navigate the markets visiting every day during our trip.
Camilla was an amazing guide and exposed us to so many different types of foods that we never would have tried. The tour was so great that we'll probably go again the next time we are in Oaxaca.

The kids did a really good job trying new foods. We had a taco with a cricket sauce, corn in about a hundred different ways, drinks with viscosity that was a bit questionable and the kids tried it all!

Betsy was our guide, and she was great, friendly, knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour. The tour started on time and she was very organized.

This was one of the best things I did in Oaxaca. I ate food that I never would have known to try, and experienced the markets which can be overwhelming on your own. Our guide Mildred was amazing, fierce with a huge heart and incredibly knowledgable. Highly, highly recommend.

The guisado tacos and the carnes ahumadas are delicious. Betsy is a great human and takes to great places. I’d hit her up for recommendations. Support the cooperativas..

Loads of food included so go hungry and pace yourself. The guide was very knowledgeable and spoke very good English, explaining the origins of all the dishes. Would highly recommend.

Betsy was a great guide! We visited three markets sampled lots of traditional food from savoury to sweet with a side if grasshoppers and mezcal! What more could you want.
This was an excellent introduction to the local delicious food, I couldn't recommend it more highly!

Betsy is amazing!!! She has a real passion for what she does. You will receive a broad overview of Oaxacan cuisine along with some history of the food. She has such a warm personality that she makes you feel like family. This is a very authentic tour that is not touristy in the slightest. Book Betsy now!!
