“This tour was really fun to do and we learned a lot about the local area, it's people and it's history as well as the food itself which helped us put things in context. Our guide was fabulous and really knew what she was talking about with the foods that we tried and was able to explain all about them as well as getting us to try things. She navigated multiple markets really well and enabled us to try absolutely loads of things throughout our trip, way more than we expected.

Cycle through Oaxaca at night for eight portions of tacos, tlayudas and local specialties across six food stalls.
“This was a super fun tour that I highly recommend! Daniel was an excellent guide, we biked to several taco places and tried a wide variety of different types of tacos. We learned a lot about the history behind the taco types (e.g., what's a gringa taco?). The bikes were in excellent condition (we actually rented them again for our own bike tour), incl. safety equipment like helmets and lights. If you visit Oaxaca, make sure to do this tour!”
