Oaxaca Conmigo Tours

My husband, parents and I did a full-day tour with Tony. It was by far our favorite part of the trip to Oaxaca. Tony is super knowledgeable and so enthusiastic about the culture he was sharing with us. Prior to the tour, Tony recommended our tour stops based on what we were looking for and it was spot on. We loved every stop and felt truly honored to visit each destination. I've done many private tours all over the world and this was the best I've been on. We can't say enough to thank Tony for showing us Oaxaca and will certainly book again next time we visit. We can't wait to see more!

Antonio (Tony) is a wonderful and knowledgeable tour guide, who customized our beautiful day trip. He took us to a small highly specialized woman/family run workshop in the village where arebrijes are made, a woman-owned mezcal distillery , and to Monte Alban to see the Zapotec ruins. We enjoyed learning and spending the day getting to know one another. It was a great experience , not just a tour.

Our guide File was great. He was very knowledgeable, but more importantly, he was very welcoming. We enjoyed the tour very much. Gracias File!

Tony was great! We have done different tours in different countries and cities and this has been the best one ever. Super knowledgeable, friendly and made the tour all about the client and what the client wanted to do and see.

The textile family in Teotitlan are fabulous! And File is a terrific guide. He was right on time and very accommodating to our wants and needs. Muchas gracias, File!!

Our guide Ricardo was warm, knowledgeable and provided us with a lovely day of touring. We had a rich experience, visiting beautiful sites of nature, ancient civilizations, artisans and food. We highly recommend this tour!

Our guide Tony was excellent. First he took us to Monte Alban. This is an expansive historical site with lots of history and a must see. Then, we went to eat lunch at a local Oaxacan restaurant, which had delicious, fresh food. Our second site was the prehistoric caves in Mitlan. A local guide took us on a tour of these caves that had paintings estimated from 10000 BC! Finally, we went to an authentic weaving house. The owner showed us the challenging process of making rugs. Great first day in Oaxaca and I definitely recommend it.

We were guided by Filomeno to Mitla, the Sunday market at Tlocoluca, and an on-site weaving demonstration at a family business making carpets. Our tour was taken over at Mitla by a gentleman acquainted with Filomeno named Eduardo (I think?.....eek!), whose enthusiasm for and willingness to educate about the pre-Spanish cultures of the Oaxaca Valley were fascinating and exciting. We loved every moment of our stay at Mitla and had it not been so hot (and I so sunburned), we'd have happily stayed several more hours. Filomeno took us to the Sunday market, which was both different from and similar to others I've been to in Mexico (most notably outside of Guadalajara at Tonala). Filomeno helped me identify hand-sewn, locally made items so that I could make educated purchases and graciously answered our countless questions. At the carpet weaving business, we learned a lot more about human and organic chemistry than I expected, and was delighted with the lovely carpet I expect any day now that I'm home. Filomeno's RAV4 was comfortable and the trip was perfect. It was a very memorable day and I can't recommend Oaxaca Conmigo strongly enough. An utter delight and one I will repeat next time I visit!
