Tour description

Hello, my name is Belem, I studied architecture and I would love to take you by the hand on this tour to explore the beauty of Oaxaca's architecture. From the colonial-style churches to the vibrant street art, you won't want to miss out on this unique experience.
On this tour we will learn together about construction systems, history, materials and colors, so that together, we can recognize architectural styles and your visit to the city leaves you the wish to continue learning about it.
I will also tell you about my favorite places to eat and visit, all from the point of view of a native person and lover of her state and culture.
I am eager and happy to teach you the reason why I love my city and to offer you an special and unique experience.
In this account you will find tips about the city and how to live it

Belem is very kind, always smiling and passionate for her city of Oaxaca and its history. With her professional background she is the perfect guide for the extraordinary architectures which you can explore in the center of Oaxaca paired with the mexican culture and traditions. Her English is superb and better than mine 😅, whereas she is the perfect accompany. Belem, once more thanks a lot for the unforgettable experience. Hope to meet & greet you somewhen, somewhere again. Take always care, cheers.
