    Perfect for vegetarians!

    Such a cool experience! Being a vegetarian it can be difficult to find veggie street tour options, and this one really hit the mark! Got to try so many new dishes, learn the history of them, and explore 4 markets in total. I would definitely recommend this!!

    Response from the operator: Dear Amy, thank you for your interest in learning more about the traditional food from Oaxaca. It was a pleasure hosting you and I am so glad you enjoyed it as well Hope to see you next time!

    Great tour!

    Excellent tour by Sarah. She knew her stuff! Interesting food, and tried grasshopper for the first time. And worm powder!

    Response from the operator: Hello Ruby, so glad that you tried new things in Oaxaca and I hope you had learned more about the Oaxacan cuisine. See you next time!

    Great way to kick off our Oaxaca trip

    Great way to kick off our Oaxaca trip. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Come hungry, because after a light breakfast we were stuffed. Guide helped us navigate the markets, taught us how to find authentic goods and introduced us to the tastiest tamales we’ve ever had in our life. 5 stars! Highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Dear Isaac, it was a pleasure to have your visit in Oaxaca. I am always happy to welcome guest interested in the Oaxacan traditions and culture. Hope our experience was a good introduction to the food and markets in Oaxaca. Until next time!

    Great sampling of Oaxaca offerings

    Sara, our guide, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. She showed us an incredible variety of foods to sample and shared interesting information on each. We never would have found many of the places she showcased for us or dared to sample so many different foods without her guidance.

    Response from the operator: Hello Doug, it was a pleasure hosting you guys. Thank you for bringing amazing vibes to the tour. It is always exciting you have guest open to try all the food. Hope our paths cross agai in the future!

    Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options cost?

    +

    Prices start at $58 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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options 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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options?

    +

    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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options 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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options?

    +

    Around 14 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 Street Food and Markets Tour, Meat or Veggie Options 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.
