👋 Meet Priscilla.
Born and raised in Oaxaca, I now split my time between Oaxaca and London. As an event organizer, tour guide, and translator, I'm passionate about sharing Oaxaca's rich culture, art, and traditions with visitors. Summers on my family’s coffee plantation sparked my travel passion. I've lived in France, studied in Mexico City, and worked on cultural projects like the International Book Fair of Oaxaca. I currently organize and guide cultural experiences throughout Mexico, eager to share them with you.

Ginger.
Highly recommend!
The tour guide, Priscilla, her co-guide Tavo, are what made this trip. I wouldn’t have had nearly the amazing Dia de Muertos experience I did if it hadn’t been for them. We were all truly immersed in Oaxacan culture the whole time. Trying special moles, watching chocolate being made, tasting a million different kinds of mezcal, building a Dia de Muertos altar with a Oaxacan family, I could go on and on. I was sad when the week was over.

Take this trip!
As a first-timer in Mexico, this trip shattered any and every Hollywood-infused preconception I've had about the country, and showed me that it's a truly beautiful place with beautiful people. We went to high-end 8-course restaurants as well as tried some of the best street food, while also visiting local Zapotec families to make chocolate and take part in their traditions for celebrating Día de los Muertos.
