We have taken many tours with Viator around the world and this is one of the absolute best! Don't miss it.

Betsy was the most amazing tour guide. She really loves her city and is more like traveling around with a friend than a guide. The amount of historical information about the city in combination with the many locations and generous portions of foods to try is unbelievable. We have taken many tours with Viator around the world and this is one of the absolute best! Don't miss it.

Betsaida’s tour is a must when visiting Oaxaca!
Peter_B
, Apr 2022
Our tour with Betsaida was amazing. She brought us to many food vendors around Oaxaca and showed us how to visit the markets and find the best of what they have to offer. Everything was delicious. Everything was great quality, (No tummy troubles during or after). Betsaida/Betty is extremely personable and fun, and a very knowledgeable guide, both to the best food and about history of Oaxaca. We would absolutely join again and highly recommended this tour!

What a great 1st day intro to Oaxaca!

Betsaida did a wonderful job introducing us to the flavors of Oaxaca! We ate so many different things-many just tastes-and saw 3 key markets of Oaxaca. This was a terrific thing to do our 1st day to also get our bearings on the city and what we wanted to go back and see more of.

This was the best thing we have done in Oaxaca, hands down. You CAN’T miss this! So much delicious, authentic street/market food which you could easily miss if you weren’t guided by a local. Our guide was friendly, organised, accommodating, knowledgable and, most importantly, knows all the best spots for food in Oaxaca. This isn’t just a food tour, you get an in depth tour of the city in addition. Which is not only great for letting your food digest, but also for learning more about the culture and history of this amazing place. We actually did a walking tour of the city the day before and Betsy’s tour far exceeded it in terms of content and delivery. You try everything from traditional breakfasts, grilled meats, exotic local fruits, locally distilled mezcal, pastries, chocolate and insects! There is something for everyone to enjoy and if you can’t finish everything then Betsy has everything prepared for you to take any left overs back with you. It was genuinely one of the best things we have done since travelling and I can’t recommend this tour enough. My advice: do it at the beginning of your trip so you can scout out the foods you like the best and keep returning there!

Fabulous History of Oaxacan Culture in Food and Drinks
Kay_M

A Fabulous Tour with Betsaida who gives a full and rich history of the food and people that make Oaxaca. The food and drink samples at local markets and vendors are plentiful, and come with the history or source of each ingredient. Don't miss this tour. We loved it.

A Must do tour with the nicest guide
Alejandro_S
, Oct 2021
Betsy was an amazing tour all around. She began the tour with a small lecture on the history of Oaxaca and the origin of their food. We are 24 different foods ranging from: grilled meats, fruits, pastries, mezcal, mole, and grasshoppers. Everything was delicious. Throughout the tour, Betsy would stop and show us art/murals. She was engaging, knowledgeable, and has a great sense of humor. We all had a great time. We definitely recommend doing this tour with Betsy, you won’t be disappointed. P.S come hungry and ready to enjoy Oaxaca cuisine.
