“Foodie walking tours are my favorite in any part of the world and this one did not disappoint. It works because Betsy is an energetic bundle of information and kindness, and because the Oaxacan markets are fabulous. Come on an empty stomach, wear good walking shoes and prepare for a fabulous day. The other unexpected delight was that everyone in our group was so lovely. It made for fun chatting over ants and grasshoppers! There may be other foodie walking tours in Oaxaca but hard to image they can beat Betsy’s!”
