    About this experience

    What makes this experience unique is that you will not only know the history of Oaxaca : you will see it come alive before your eyes. Unlike a traditional tour, here you’ll use a carefully curated collection of old photographs to compare the past and present from the same place they were taken decades ago. You’ll find out how streets, squares and buildings have changed, while watching details that normally go unnoticed. Each stop is an opportunity to travel back in time, recreate historical images and understand the evolution of a World Heritage-listed city from a visual and interactive perspective. This tour combines history, photography, architecture and exploration in a participatory experience designed for curious travelers looking for more than just a conventional tour. At the end, you won’t just get to know Oaxaca; you’ll learn to see it with different eyes and take a whole new way of remembering the city.

    What you'll see and do

    1. El Centro Oaxaca De Juarez

      What was Oaxaca like 100 years ago? Join us on a different tour of the Historic Center, where the past comes alive through a carefully selected collection of old photographs. At each stop you will discover the exact spot where a photographer captured a scene decades ago. We will compare yesterday and today to reveal how the streets, buildings, squares and daily life of the city have changed. More than hearing the story, you'll live it. You’ll notice details that normally go unnoticed, discover corners with new meaning and recreate historical images from the same point where they were taken. It is a unique way to get to know Oaxaca through photography, architecture and the memory of a World Heritage-listed city.

    Walking through time in Oaxaca: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Walking through time in Oaxaca 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 Walking through time in Oaxaca 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 Walking through time in Oaxaca worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Walking through time in Oaxaca?

    +

    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 Walking through time in Oaxaca 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 Walking through time in Oaxaca?

    +

    Around 0 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 Walking through time in Oaxaca 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.
