Walking
If you are in the Zócalo (the main square) of Oaxaca, start by heading east on Calle de Manuel García Vigil. Walk for about 5 minutes until you reach the intersection with Avenida de la Independencia. Turn left onto Avenida de la Independencia. Continue walking straight for another 10 minutes, passing by various shops and cafes. You will notice a large park on your right, known as Parque de la Paz. The Oaxaca Free Walking Tour office is located at Av. de la Independencia 900, which will be on your left, just before you reach the intersection with Calle de García Vigil.
Public Transport (Bus)
From the Zócalo, find a local bus stop nearby. Look for buses heading towards 'Centro' or 'Independencia'. Get on the bus and ask the driver to drop you off at Avenida de la Independencia (you can also say 'Oaxaca Free Walking Tour' for clarity). The bus ride will take approximately 10-15 minutes. Once you get off, walk back a short distance on Avenida de la Independencia to find the tour office at number 900.
Taxi or Rideshare
You can also opt for a taxi or rideshare service. If you are at a hotel or a public place, you can request a taxi or use a rideshare app like Uber. Provide the driver with the address 'Avenida de la Independencia 900, Centro, Oaxaca'. The ride should take around 5-10 minutes, depending on traffic. The driver will drop you off right in front of the Oaxaca Free Walking Tour office.
