We just returned from Oaxaca, and all three of us agreed that one of the main reasons that our trip was so wonderful was because Suzanne was our guide for three days: it was like traveling with a very smart friend with a comfortable (and air conditioned) car. Our hotels all offered small group tours, but it was obvious to us—especially when we saw groups at markets or restaurants—that being with her was so much more relaxed, fun, and personal. She tailored our trips to what she learned about our interests, and she was right every step of the way.

Benito and Suzanne are a great team. They speak English perfectly which was essential for us.They responded quickly and clearly to our emails, prepared an itinerary that reflected our specific requests, and gave us the information we needed to prepare for our tours. We travelled in a comfortable vehicle with everything we needed. We had an amazing time in Oaxaca, thanks in very large part to Suzanne and Benito from Discover Oaxaca Tours.

For two weeks we had the pleasure of having the guidance of Suzanne and Benito as we toured the region around Oaxaca City. This couple is amazing. Their suggestions of where to visit in the hills and valleys around the city were excellent. To have them share their familiarity with the area and their knowledge of both the geography and the history of the region was a gift. Perhaps most striking, however is their love for Oaxaca City and the region. It is contagious. With their leadership we could not help but treasure Oaxaca. It is a wonderful place and culture. Touring with Benito and Suzanne made it even richer.

From meeting us at the airport to helping us understand the local customs, no detail was too small or large for this experienced tour guide couple. Suzanne and Benito made our visit to Oaxaca memorable in every way. A day of sightseeing at Yagul followed by lunch at a favorite cafe in the local market and finishing with a delightful mezcal tour and tasting is just one example of the 5 excellent days of touring our family of three shared with them. Be sure to ask Suzanne for a food tour. She knows everyone and they will treat you like a local.

We had a memorable stay in Oaxaca largely due to the work of Benito and Suzanne planning a two-day trip to the villages and sites around the valley of Oaxaca (Monte Alban El Tule, Mitla, Teotitian, Etla, among others). They arranged our tour based on our particular interests and the days that village markets took place. Benito was an extraordinary guide/historian/philosopher/story teller with an incredible fund of knowledge about the culture, people and current issues in Oaxaca society. We had lunch at the Etla Market capping a veritable photographic spree that we'll always remember.

Our trip to Oaxaca was greatly enhanced by your insights and knowledge of the area. Especially important to us was your willingness to take us where we wanted to go and to augment it with exciting and fun side trips along the way as well as good places to eat. This combined with your laughter at our sometimes witty comments as well as your patience for our silly banter will always be in our memories of our trip to your home of Oaxaca.

The best tour I have ever taken anywhere. I cannot rate our experience of Discover Oaxaca highly enough, it was a truly memorable experience from start to finish. Benito was absolutely the perfect guide, as knowledgeable about culture and history as he was about nature, it made for a fascinating day out that was completely tailored to what we wanted to do. When we return I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again to get further off the beaten track as the experience was wonderful in every way.

Benito and Suzanne are EXTREMELY professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible in their planning and execution of Oaxaca tours. Whether you're interested in hiking, food, photography, history, arts.... or anything else, Benito and Suzanne are always successful in helping you find the right things to do to make the best memories. I just returned from a wonderful Oaxacan vacation with them and I've NOTHING but GOOD things to say about these two and am extremely grateful for the wonderful memories of a lifetime.

Our family recently spent the week with Suzanne and Benito in Oaxaca City and environs. They did a superb job! We were able to customize our trip to see the things we most wanted to see. For everything we did, both Suzanne and Benito were extremely knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and patient. I would strongly recommend Discover Oaxaca Tours for anyone who would like a fun and memorable trip to Oaxaca. Highest recommendation!

Benito and Suzanne are both experienced and knowledgeable guides, but they are so much more. They are friendly, giving and warm people who want to share their Oaxaca with you, while making suggestions and small adjustments to planned activities that reflect what they learn about your preferences over the course of time. They are a wealth of information about the history, culture, religion, cuisine, archaeological sites, master artisans, religious iconography and art.... If you come to Oaxaca, I hope you are lucky enough to have Benito and Suzanne as your guides. I have no doubt that it will be a marvelous experience.

Our family of 4 recently had the opportunity to take several tours with Discover Oaxaca and we loved them. They were very flexible and customized several tours for us to maximize our time in Oaxaca. We would highly recommend using their tour services in Oaxaca. You will not be disappointed, as I can't imagine another tour company with as much passion and knowledge for their city. Their love for Oaxaca was very evident and really brought out what this great city and its surroundings has to offer the conscientious traveler.
