Testimonials
What our happy clients say
"How do I even express how incredible this experience was? I was already blown away after the first woman artisan we met, but there were 3 more plus a large Mercado in between for lunch. By the 3rd woman artisan the emotions began. These women’s stories were so different from each others , so courageous, and so intriguing. Not to mention the amazing art they produced. I will remember this day forever. Thank you for providing such a powerful day with the opportunity to support these women led businesses. I loved every minute of this long day with Alejandra, who is a wonderful teacher and guide."

"What a fabulous experience! I was honestly a bit hesitant when booking this, as it's quite a long day, but we're so glad we did, and it was 100% worthwhile. Alejandra was our host, and she couldn't have been lovelier, more knowledgeable, or more passionate. The tour that she and her sister have put together is far from generic and is the result of her personal interests and relationships she has built with the incredible families that are preserving the arts that they do. The passion and dedication of each family, including honoring the traditional ways of doing their arts was truly inspiring. This experience was easily the highlight of our whole time in Oaxaca, and I would highly recommend it! As others have mentioned, definitely bring cash (though there are also opportunities to get some)! You'll likely want to purchase much of the beautiful art."
Connor
"BOOK THIS! This women-led (very rare for official tour guides in Mexico) tour company is leading incredible experiences, centering Zapotec women and their knowledge and art! Alejandra was so warm, knowledgeable, and had built strong, trusting, loving relationships with the women artisans and their families! Comfy van, water provided, perfect context given, so flexible and ready to support breaks! You will meet incredible artisans and BUY DIRECTLY FROM THEM! This is better quality (you learn all about it), more memorable, and lower cost than any tourist shop in centro! The Valle is beautiful, market was delicious, so make a day to support Zapotec women artists and local women tour guides! WIN-WIN-WIN! Thank you, Ale!"
