Luis is a terrific guide. He picked us up at our hotel in his very new and comfortable car. He took us a a full day tour of Monte Alban, than we visited a school for wood carvers and painters, a clay pottery artists, and a great lunch at a local place in the outskirts of Oaxaca. He tailor this private tour to our needs, desires, and physical abilities. He is very knowledgeable and speaks perfect English.
I highly recommend Luis Ramirez as a guide in Oaxaca. We had two full days of tours with Luis to sites outside of Oaxaca and some in the city, which involved hiking, swimming, history, culture. Luis is very knowledgable, has a clear way of explaining both the rich history and current culture, has a gentle demeanor, and is a good, safe driver. In particular, I really appreciated Luis’ flexibility. We discussed some of my particular interests and decided on some changes in the originally planned itinerary and I really appreciated his flexibility and personable approach. Excellent English.
Luis is a phenomenal tour guide. We hired him this year (the third time we have hired him in the past 3 years) to take us shopping in the villages and to take us to memorable Day of the Dead events. We visited cemeteries and altars in private homes in order to get a more immersive experience. We were extremely touched by the families we met and their willingness to share this special time of year with us.
We are world travelers and Luis is the best guide we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable, an excellent driver, well respected by the locals, and very kind and polite. He is first rate!
Luis Ramirez is one of the best tour guides. After 3 days of research on the best places to see in Oaxaca I contacted him at LuisRamirezTours.com and he answered me immediately. He greeted us at the hotel on time to start our journey. He is the best tour guide as he speaks clear English and Spanish explaining the history of Oaxaca and the background of the places we were going to visit while we were sitting in total comfort in his clean well kept car so we can just take in the views and enjoy the sites. We spent 2 amazing days with Luis Ramires visiting Hierve el Agua, Textiles, Mezcal, Mitla, Monte Alban, Barro Negro, and Tilcajete. Highly recommend Luis Ramirez if you are thinking on visiting Oaxaca Mexico (52 951 118 4534)
Luis took my friend and me, on 2 separate days, touring the Oaxacan outlying villages. He is knowledgeable, warm, and open to sharing what his life is like as a Oaxacan native. We learned so much in a wonderfully, fun way.
He clearly is working hard to continually learn new details about his history and culture that he shares in his professional yet personal way. I can’t recommend him highly enough! His rate may be a little higher than others but you won’t be sorry you chose to spend a day with him.
We hired Luis for two days and I would be thrilled to have had him as a guide for a week.
Luis is extremely knowledgeable, and was always flexible and willing to work with our interests and last minute changes. In addition, he is a very nice person, who gave us insights into life in Oaxaca we would never have known otherwise. He was always patient with our numerous questions. He is also a very safe driver. I highly recommend Luis!
