Private Car and Driver Authentic Oaxaca Tour with Master Artisans
Overview
Discover the real Oaxaca through authentic cultural experiences and visits to master artisans, family workshops, and hidden gems beyond the typical tourist route.
With more than 30 years of experience in Oaxaca tourism, Roberto offers personalized private tours designed around your interests. After booking, simply choose one of three authentic routes featuring artisan villages, weaving traditions, mezcal production, Monte Albán, pottery workshops, local art, and cultural landmarks.

What To Expect
After booking, you may choose one of the following three authentic Oaxaca routes and simply let Roberto know which experience you would like to enjoy.
Route 1: Weaving Traditions & Mezcal
Tule Tree
16th-century Dominican Church
Traditional weaving village
Authentic mezcal distillery
Route 2: Master Artisans of Oaxaca
Wood carving village
Black pottery village
Backstrap loom weaving workshops
Route 3: Art, History & Pottery
Monte Albán archaeological site
Handmade paper workshop

Green-glazed and terracotta pottery village.
Passenger insurance, in an SUV Chevrolet Suburban or Audi sedan with A/C , cold purified water, ice, etc. In case that you want to stop to eat something, I know the best spots. Give you explanations interacting with locals, history, etc. When tourists ask me to stop by the houses of the artisans, I steer away from the most touristy places and stop with true artists and Masters; buying something or not, you can be sure that you will be looking at high-quality craftsmanship or as people say; "the real thing".
You can "play it by ear" and stop or skip some places. Normally takes seven hours each route at your own pace.
