Rodolfo is a great storyteller, he is very nice... and he describes facts, places and people in a charming way, he gives you real and important facts about the problems of the city... but also beautiful facts that fill the tour with color! ... if you want to know the city from a wonderful and real place... this is your tour! I definitely recommend it 🧡.
One of the best tours I’ve ever had. Thanks to Rodolfo I was able to meet the real part of Oaxaca city. Totally recommended!
Rodolfo is a different kind of a walking tour guide. He created somewhat surprising stories about Oaxaca, past and present. His stories focus on social and people-centric aspects of Oaxacan historical events while leading us along beautiful streets and monuments of Xochimilco. The tour started at Santo Domingo church and we moved towards North direction and ended up at Xochomilcho church. One of main themes is overtourism in Oaxaca and it's undesirable impacts on residents and neighborhoods. He called the most touristy area of Centro Oaxaca as a bubble and chose Xochimilco as an alternative contrasting place where new social movements and programs are being tried. Indeed, Xochimilco was much more quieter but more visually beautiful than the touristy bubble. You can see Oaxacan residents there who are living there, not working in the bubble under stressful work conditions. He introduced some interesting social programs which, he hopes, can protect Oaxacan people and neighborhoods from bad effects of overtourism. His stories were music to my ears while I am enjoying beautiful streets and monuments of Xochimilco. Please try Rodolfo's tour if you are interested in a typical city tour as well as sustainable tour.
Rodolfo es un guía excelente si lo que buscas es reflexionar y pensar en otras maneras de hacer turismo mientras recorres bonitos rincones de Oaxaca.
Very interesting tour and helps for reflecting how we travel. Thank you!
