Inspiring Women, Authentic Oaxaca
It was my most amazing day so far in Oaxaca! I had the chance to meet truly inspiring women, and it was such a beautiful reminder that we, women, can do anything we set our minds to — and that incredible things happen when women lift each other up and create opportunities together. The host, Iveth, and the translator, Sofia, were absolutely incredible — so kind, fun, and inspiring to be around. I highly recommend this tour to anyone — man or woman — who wants to support small businesses and be part of something that truly empowers women.
Response from the operator: Muchísimas gracias por confiar en nuestro proyecto, por valorar el trabajo de las artesanas, y apoyar directamente la economía local de Familias Oaxaqueñas, ¡Siempre estaremos felices de recibirlos en Oaxaca!

Cultural Immersion You’ll Never Forget
I had the most incredible time with Oaxaca Women Private Tours. It was such an immersive experience, I got to visit many amazing women artisans who continue to practice their ancestral ways of creating art. From weavers to mezcal makers, every encounter was full of knowledge, beauty, and tradition. I loved being able to take part in workshops, not just observing but truly learning and appreciating the artistry and dedication behind each craft. Supporting these women and hearing their stories was deeply inspiring. This experience gave me a whole new level of appreciation for Oaxaca’s culture and the strength of its women. I will definitely go again, and I constantly find myself telling people about it. Absolutely unforgettable!
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias Yurani, siempre te recordamos con mucho cariño, y agradecemos que confíes en nuestro proyecto, ¡Oaxaca siempre te espera para mas aventuras!

There is no place like Oaxaca..this tour is PROOF!
The Oaxaca Women Private Tour is so special to me. I found the experience during my second visit to Oaxaca and it was like I was meeting Oaxaca for the first time. When I signed up for a tour by and for women I was excited about getting to hear from women of Oaxaca. However, the experience would not be what it is without Iveth. Right from pick up, Iveth was so welcoming and friendly as she helped me and my friends feel comfortable as we begun the day. She was incredibly communicative and prepared us for each stop on the tour. As we entered into the home of each artisan, they wrapped us in love. What stood out to me the most is the beautiful relationship Iveth had formed with each of the women we visited. To build a business that highlights the voices of women who previously didn't have a chance to share their stories with the world is inspiring. Each stop on this full day of magic, I was struck by the grit, courage, and badassery of each woman we met. They opened their homes and hearts to us and shared what it took to build a better life for themselves and their families. Be prepared for all the gorgeous items you'll have the chance to buy. I cannot wait for my next visit to Oaxaca. I cannot wait for another adventure with Iveth!
Response from the operator: ¡Gracias por explicar Empoderando Mujeres de tal forma! Y gracias por hacer confiado en este proyecto de Mujeres Oaxaqueñas más de una vez, esperamos tenerte pronto en Oaxaca para compartir más contigo.

I have traveled all over the world and this was my favorite tour/guide.
We did a spontaneous all girls trip to Oaxaca and multi tours with Empoderando Mujeres/Oaxaca Womens Tour and it made our trip even all that more special. Not only was our guide the sweetest and most knowledgable woman but every location and experience was so thoughtfully curated with a great balance of fun, knowledge, and awe. I can not wait to go back to Oaxaca and explore more and connect with them once again.
Response from the operator: Hola! Que gusto leer que nuestro proyecto les haya gustado tanto, y que pudieron conectar con todas las artesanas, Empoderando Mujeres las espera para seguir recorriendo más pueblos de Oaxaca, abrazos!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Oaxaca Women Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Oaxaca Women Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $309 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 Oaxaca Women Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Oaxaca Women Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 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 Oaxaca Women Private Tour?
+
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 Oaxaca Women Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Oaxaca Women Private Tour?
+
Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Oaxaca Women Private Tour 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.
