I took Gerardo’s taco and Mezcal tasting tour on my first night in Oaxaca, and it was the perfect introduction to the city. I happened to be the only guest that evening, which made it feel like a private experience. As a vegetarian, I really appreciated how he tailored the tour around my preferences. Every stop had delicious local dishes I could enjoy. Gerardo was incredibly knowledgeable about both Oaxacan cuisine and Mezcal, and he introduced me to some fantastic spots I never would’ve found on my own. At the final stop, he picked out some great Mezcals to try and shared stories about the local culture and traditions. He was warm, friendly, and full of great recommendations for the rest of my trip. So glad I started my week here. Highly recommended!

Gerardo was a fantastic and genuinely pleasant tour guide. He will drive you around town to have some delicious local taco shops and to check out local bars that you would miss if you stick to the tourist zone.

Take this tour if you want to have delicious food and drinks with a tour guide that makes you feel as if you were having a night out with a lifelong friend.

Geraldo is not only a very nice guy, but also knowledgeable about the area. He took us to taco places and bars that we would not have gone into as a tourist. It was a nice deviation from the fancy restaurants. We also enjoyed talking to him about his life In Oaxaca.

This is a must for anyone visiting Oaxaca City that is interested in learning about the food, restaurants and the bars/mezcalarias. Gerardo was an exceptional guide/host. He clearly improvised and adjusted to suit my questions and interests, which was so very appreciated. If I could give this 10 stars, I would. Thanks again, Gerardo, for the insightful tour, the delicious tacos, tasty mezcal and recommendations that will surely enhance my visit. Gracias mi amigo!
