What you'll see and do
Oaxaca
We will visit the most representative places of the City of Oaxaca by bicycle, in the picturesque streets of street art that this beautiful city offers, we will locate places of local preference and we will combine the tour with a lot of art and history! We will make multiple breaks to observe art and take photographs in the oldest neighborhoods of the City, Jalatlaco and Xochimilco, with alleys decorated by Oaxacan artists and emblematic architecture of Oaxaca.
30 minutes here
Templo de San Matias Jalatlaco
Located in one of the most popular neighborhoods of the City of Oaxaca, the Jalatlaco neighborhood, with its unique architecture within the area known for its colorful murals that evoke the Day of the Dead festivities and known for its traditional "comparsas", today it is a tourist and cultural reference that we will undoubtedly not miss to be able to take beautiful photographs and learn more about the urban planning and celebrations of Oaxaca!
20 minutes here
Los Arquitos De Xochimilco
With its colorful streets and old houses, the Xochimilco neighborhood stands out for being one of the oldest neighborhoods in this city founded in 1486 by Xochimilca - Aztec warriors where we will see old pre-colonial buildings. Right here are the arches of Xochimilco of colonial construction that were part of the San Felipe aqueduct built in the mid-eighteenth century to supply water to the population. A must-see when visiting Oaxaca!
20 minutes here
Cerro del Fortin
Depending on the physical condition of the group, we will be able to see the City from the viewpoint located on the highest hill near the center where we will have unique panoramic views of the city, excellent for photographs and sunsets! We will pass by the Oaxaca crafts house and the house of one of the most emblematic characters of Mexico, the former president and Oaxacan Don Benito Juárez García!
30 minutes here
Templo de Santo Domingo de Guzman
We will visit one of the most beautiful churches in all of Latin America, the Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán! Today it is a cultural center made up of the Ex-convent, the Museum of the Cultures of Oaxaca, the Ethnobotanical Garden, the Burgoa Library and the Public Newspaper Archive. This great enclosure had many uses throughout its history since the beginning of its construction in 1570. It really reflects much of the history of the Oaxacan population! We will observe the New Spain baroque architecture of the beautiful Temple of Santo Domingo de Guzmán, Cultural Heritage of Humanity and with luck we will see a "calenda" or "wedding" in the streets of the city, since the party never ends here!

Best guided tour in Oaxaca!
A very warm welcome to Oaxaca thanks to Daniel at Bike Road Trips. I knew very little about the city, its history, culture and way of life before joining him on a tour but am so glad I did! You feel like you are getting a real local insight to Oaxaca rather than just hitting all the tourist hotspots. He takes the time to explain in detail (either in English or Spanish, both are perfect) and ensures an authentic experience. Thank you Daniel for taking the time to show me around. I look forward to my return to Oaxaca and my next tour with you!

So much fun!
Daniel was awesome. Great personality. Very knowledgeable. Made the tour of the city so fun. Everything about the 2 hours spent with him was fantastic. Highly recommend.

Bumpy and not interesting enough
Bikes were in good share. The tour was short and really bumpy. He cut it short (1.5 hrs instead of 2) and he didn’t explain why. We didn’t see much. We don’t recommend it.

Urban Art and History Bicycle Tour in Oaxaca
We enjoyed a wonderful bicycle tour with a local tour who guided us safely through beautiful Oaxaca to view the amazing urban art and history painted on the walls and homes. It was a very enjoyable morning bike tour.

Worthwhile tour of murals and neighborhoods of Oaxaca
Nice tour of Jalatlaco and Xochimilco, got to see murals with a nice explanation of the different symbols and meanings of the artworks. Daniel was a good leader and overall very nice person.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History?
+
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 Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History?
+
Around 30 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bicycle Tour through Oaxaca learning about its Urban Art and History 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.
