Great personalized tour of Oaxaca!
Our guide was charming and thoroughly familiar with Oaxaca and its fascinating history and extremely varied cultural background. My husband and I really enjoyed our tour.

Not worth the time
Our guide was a nice woman. She took us to the markets which were interesting. However her English was limited so difficult to get much information about culture, history and the area.
Response from the operator: Dear Traveller, We regret to learn about your experience. While we endeavour to employ the most qualified guides, we acknowledge that this instance did not meet your expectations. Rest assured that we are committed to ensuring that such an incident does not recur in the future.

Definite Recommend
Had a great time with Oscar! He customised the tours as we wanted to, and his knowledge of Oaxaca central eateries was commendable.

Great introduction to Oaxaca with Oscar.
Unlike a lot of other tours, this one is totally customizable. This was our first visit to Oaxaca city and our first day. We asked Oscar to give us an introduction to the city highlights and help us get oriented. That is exactly what he did and did it well. We got culture, history, and excellent food and drink recommendations, and highlights of shopping. Oscar was awesome! He grew up here and isVery knowledgeable and anxious to share the beauty of the area. He was patient and very interested in what was important to us. The price of the tour is very reasonable, indeed even too reasonable, for three hours with a private guide. Oscar’s time and knowledge is worth much more than that! It was a great experience and we would not hesitate to do it again.

The best food tour in Oaxaca
We had the absolute best experience with Ruth as our food tour guide in Oaxaca! She was kind, sweet, and incredibly knowledgeable. Not only did she share fascinating historical information about the city, but she also made sure to take us to the spots we requested to try. On top of that, she introduced us to some hidden food gems we never would have discovered on our own. Her English was excellent, which made everything so easy and enjoyable. Ruth truly went above and beyond to make the tour both fun and memorable — highly recommend booking with her!

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oaxaca City is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oaxaca City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour Oaxaca Private Tour, 100% customisable - Best Rated start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oaxaca City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oaxaca City?
+
On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oaxaca City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oaxaca City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
