We were able to see many churches in the area, get an overall sense of the city design, and a hear a little urban mythology. I was introduced to a fantastic place I otherwise would not have known about near the western edge of centro.

It was all very good and informative. We really enjoyed this tour with this guide (Vero). We liked visiting the churches and all the explanations that go along with each building and the different orders of the priests. It made us appreciate, the architecture, the decor and we learned the history and culture. The myths and legends were interesting. We want to return to Oaxaca and we would sign up to take this tour again.

Veronica was a knowledgeable and professional tour guide. We walked across the city to important historic tour points and learned a great deal more than if we had gone on our own. It was a pleasurable 3 hours with even a stop for local ice cream. Highly recommend. She is able to do her tour in both Spanish and English, which was great for us.
