Street Food And Markets Tour, Meat Or Veggie Options

This was such a fun tour and way to start our vacation in Oaxaca. Sarah was a great guide! She was super prepared with everything and the tour ran very smoothly. The four markets that we visited had something for everyone and we enjoyed returning to them later on our own. We learned a lot about the local food in Oaxaca and had a wonderful time.

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!!

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

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!

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.

Sara was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable, well organized and it was clear that she loved doing her job. The food was wonderful and I enjoyed the tour very much!

We had an absolutely amazing, insightful and delicious market & Food Tour with Sara. She was just the best tour guide!

Fantastic experience! Today I went on a food tour to four different markets. Great food, colorful markets, history of the foods. I highly recommend going with Sara.

This was a fantastic food tour! We ate so many different regional specialities and Sarah was super knowledgeable about everything. She made sure the vegetarians (us) were well accommodated at every stop! Do not each breakfast before the tour. You will be stuffed afterwards.

Though the tour is not only for vegetarians, there are veg options available at every stop. Everything was delicious, the guide was amazing and I highly recommend! The group was small, and we tried so many new dishes!

This tour was really fun to do and we learned a lot about the local area, it's people and it's history as well as the food itself which helped us put things in context. Our guide was fabulous and really knew what she was talking about with the foods that we tried and was able to explain all about them as well as getting us to try things. She navigated multiple markets really well and enabled us to try absolutely loads of things throughout our trip, way more than we expected. It was also great that we had the option to push our boundaries with some unusual things but never felt pressured into anything and were always able to eat plenty within our comfort zone too. Would highly recommend this tour!!

This was a fantastic tour and our guide Sara was wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about the history of Oaxaca and the foods that are indigenous to the culture. Her English was excellent which made our experience all the better. My advice is to come hungry as the food portions were generous. Everything we had was delicious and a learning experience. Can’t say enough on what a good tour this is for friends, family or couples.

Sara gave us an excellent tour of the street food of Oaxaca visiting markets and street vendors. We tried all kinds of great food. We especially liked the tamales at our first market (mole Amarillo!) and the quesadillas at the street cart. Sara is an excellent guide with extensive knowledge of the food and culture of Oaxaca. The only drawback was that it was a little more walking than we might have liked but it was thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend it.

This was an absolute highlight of my trip to Oaxaca. The region has an incredibly unique and diverse food culture. I happened to do this tour on the first day of my visit, which worked out perfectly because then when I went to other restaurants, food carts, etc. I had a very good idea of what to expect and what flavors I was interested in. Sarah also was fabulous. She was extremely knowledgeable and shared history and information about many fruits, vegetables and dishes that simply do not exist in many parts of the world. We had our questions answered and learned so much in just one morning! Highly recommend this tour. Everything was delicious and customized as needed to dietary requests and preferences. The tour guide has obviously put a lot of thought and effort into building a tour that showcases the many unique flavors and cooking techniques of this region. My group had a blast!

Excellent food tour and our guide Sarah was very informative. She is a native to Oaxaca and has great passion for the culture. We learned a lot and enjoyed all the food we tasted. This was the perfect way to introduce us to the cuisine and culture of Oaxaca. We took this tour on our first day here and I recommend it highly.

Our guide, Sara, was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and kind. We enjoyed every stop, how beautiful each market was, how gracious the people were, and how delicious the food was. Because the tour spanned several markets, it was a great way to get to know the city on our first day in Oaxca. 🤎

The Street Food and 3 Markets Tour (Meat and Veggie Options) was so much fun! I even challenged myself to try grasshoppers for the first time, and they were surprisingly delicious. Our guide, Sara, was fantastic, so much fun to be with and incredibly knowledgeable about the history and traditions behind each food we tried. She made sure we sampled everything, and every bite was delicious (and very filling!). I highly recommend this tour.

A great trip, we’ve been on a lot of food and market walking tours, and this was one of the best. Our guide had a lot of knowledge, and it was all highlights.

Wow! Sara was an amazing guide! I’ve been on other market tours, and this outshined them all. We visited several markets and tasted several foods at each. I appreciated the small group. That allowed for personal attention, answers to questions, and everyone could easily hear Sara’s explanations. Highly recommended!

My son and I really enjoyed this tour. He is a vegetarian and Sara, our guide, had taken this into consideration and made sure there was a vegetarian option for each tasting. We got to sample a very good range of local foods in different venues and Sara was very good at explaining what we were tasting. Definitely do not have breakfast before this tour as there is plenty to eat. Highly recommended.

This was the best thing we did!! Sara was so informative and organised ( she had teaspoons for us to try things, rubbish container) . We tried so many different foods and fruits and drinks!! Chiquiles, different cactus fruits, cheeses, oat drink, Jamaica, memeles, tamales, Oaxaca ice team, chocolate, Jamaica and so much more. Sara was just the best, we 100% doing a food tour with her. Her English is great and we learnt a lot about oaxacon history.

We had a fantastic time on this tour, which was so much fun. Sara is very knowledgeable and a fantastic host. The markets were amazing and it was great to try so many different foods, even the grasshopper sauce! Everything was very tasty and gave us a real insight into Mexican and Oaxacan cuisine. I would strongly recommend this tour, it’s great value and a fantastic day out.

It was a fantastic tour! Sara has so much knowledge about the local foods, history and customs. Her English is perfect and she was very patient with my oh so many questions.

The tour and Sarah were wonderful. She was very sweet and knowledgeable. She took us to 4 markets where we got to sample a wonderful variety of local food! It was a great way to get familiar with the area. Would definitely recommend!!!

This tour was worth every penny. I am vegetarian and my husband is not. Our guide was very accommodating to my dietary restrictions. She explained a lot about the history of Oaxacan food. I thought we were going to get small samplings of food but I was wrong. We got so many different food items and got decent portions as well. I made the mistake of eating breakfast that day. I would recommend skipping a meal before you go on this tour because you will be very well fed. Exceptional guide and amazing food! I am so happy I had this experience.

This was so much fun!! Sara is a local who knows her history of the food in the area ( and is also a vegetarian). We went to an organic market, organic restaurant and other markets. We learned about Tlayudas, loved them and ate them in other cities. We had great mole and tasted mescal. And we even tried grasshoppers and learned why they are part of the diet. This tour was educational, tasty, interesting and Sara was delightful. When we travel we always try to include a food tour and all agreed this was one of the best. Do not hesitate to sign up for this,

This was great!!!! Sara took us all over the old center.....food markets, street tacos and ice cream!!!! What a great guide and a super fun time .....lots of foods to taste.

What a fantastic way to spend half a day in Oaxaca. Would recommend taking this tour in the first couple days in the city to get a sense of the area, and feel more confident navigating its markets. We explored several markets and saw quite a bit of the city. Sara’s tour went beyond an intro to food and covered quite a bit of cultural context. Sara was also very accommodating for those who had various dietary preferences and limitations. And it goes without saying that the food was delicious!

Very enjoyable foodtour. I tasted all kinds of food and drinks that I otherwise would not have tried if we just wandered through the markets by ourselves. We tasted so many different things without overeating. Sara is very nice and her English is excellent.

Our street food tour with Sarah was a food lover’s heaven! From the moment she greeted us with warmth and enthusiasm, we knew we were in good hands. Sarah was organized, knowledgeable, and created an amazing experience. Can’t stress this enough, come hungry! We covered four markets and a wonderful variety of local fare. This is a tour not to miss! Sarah is an A plus guide.

Our guide, Sarah, took us to markets explaining and showing us new to us foods. She took time to explain the meaning of the murals at the markets too. I'm a vegetarian, and she made sure that I had a good food experience and asked if I would be comfortable around the meat markets and those eating meat.

Our guide Sarah was very knowledgeable about local food and culture, of which she was clearly very proud. She was attentive and accommodating to all of us, and a pleasure to share part of our day with. We went back to one of the markets the next day, much more confident in our ability to shop there. I highly recommend her tour.

We had a really fun morning and afternoon! We went to three different markets and tasted lots of different ingredients and dishes. A really nice way to learn about Oaxacan cuisine. Would definitely recommend it!

We had an amazing tour with Sara! This walking tour was exactly what we needed for our first day in Oaxaca. We were able to see the city, learn about the culture and history, try amazing foods, and go to all the amazing markets with Sara leading us. We tried such delicious food and there was so much detail and attention to some of our friend’s dietary restrictions. We wouldn’t have had such a good idea of the foods and city without the tour. Sara also helped recommend restaurants and places to see the Dia de los Muertos celebrations. She was also accessible before and after the tour so easily. I really cannot recommend this tour enough. It was really the best way to see Oaxaca! Thank you Sara! ¡Muchas gracias!

It was such a nice experience - it was my first food tour and I was worried I would totally over eat and while I definitely tried an amazing amount of things everything was really well planned. I loved it and got to places I would not have seen alone...so I highly recommend the tour, also for vegetarians!

As someone who travels to eat, I absolutely loved this food tour with Sara. It was my first time in Oaxaca and this tour was amazing. She brought us to so many stops and it was more than just a bite of food- so make sure you pace yourself and come hungry. the food was incredible- I still think about it. Try everything! I didn't really expect to simultaneously get a walking tour of downtown Oaxaca too! We learned so much. I believe that everywhere she took us was locally owned as well so that was really cool too! Highly recommend!

This was an amazing experience. Sara is an awesome guide and the tour was wonderful. I'd highly recommend this to any of my friends.

Sara is a very knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly person. She is such a great guide and very easy to talk to. Joining this tour is just like hanging out with a local friend. She has a passion for Oaxacan food and culture, and she can provide you with a lot of information and history about those. The food was delicious and some of it you wouldn't have found by yourself. I very enjoyed the tour and I couldn't recommend it enough!

We had the most incredible day with Sara, who was knowledgable and friendly. This was much more than just a food tour, it was an amazing opportunity to appreciate the the amazing culture of Oaxaca alongside tasting the beautiful dishes of the city. Sara was a wonderful host, who was interesting, engaging and a pleasure to be around. Highly recommend!

I had a great time with Sara on our recent food tour. I love that she asked what kind of food I have already had and what I wanted to try, in addition to my dietary restrictions. The tour I did was one-one-one which allowed me to really get to know her. Sara is such a kind person and super knowledgeable about the food scene in Oaxaca. She took me to places I would not have found on my own. Her recommendations were spot on- my favorite dish was the empanada with pumpkin blossom. I would never have ordered it on my own, but it was amazing and unique! I also loved the lovely market she took me to where we tried two dishes and delicious hot chocolate. Definitely recommend! Had some of the best street food with Sara!

Highly recommend this Oaxaca street food and Market tour with Sara. She took us to great and interesting markets that also locals go to. Food and drinks were delicious! There are always various choices so anyone will find something to eat they like. Also we learned about the history of Oaxaca and had sufficient time to admire the beautiful buildings and street art we encountered along the way. Sara is super friendly and easy to talk to, in both Spanish or English, depending your preference. Had a great time and finished the tour on a full stomach and happy - definitively come hungry! 😁
