You'll feel safe with me
I have lived and traveled in many places in Mexico and the USA, and I speak fluent Spanish and English. I know very well all the tourist routes and exciting places around Oaxaca and I will make sure you are always provided with the best possible service.
You are in good hands
I am constantly looking for different places and new craftsmen to make my tours more interesting and unique. You will be traveling first class, since we have aquired a brand new van to move you around.
We've got some recognition
I am a certified tour guide from Oaxaca City. You can see my credentials below:
IMPORTANT:
Dear visitor:
- When you hire services of a tour guide, check that he/she carries his/her original license issued by the Ministry of Tourism of the Mexican government.
- Before you take a tour, check that the vehicle has license plates issued by the Federal Tourism Office.
- Do not hire services on the street. Informal trade does not guarantee a good service—only book tours at authorized travel agencies.
- Remember: Booking tours with authorized travel agencies, tour guides, and transportation protects you and ensures you receive quality service.
