Interesting excursion to...
Interesting excursion to see the pyramids. Our tour guide was excellent and super knowledgeable. I would say if you’ve previously been to see other great pyramids like Tikal, that Monte Albán is not a “must see”, but if you have the time it was an interesting way to learn about local ancient culture.

Best Tour Ever
We had an amazing time learning about Oaxaca with our incredible tour guide Daniel. From the historical tour of Monte Albán to swimming in the pools at Hierve el Agua to learning about textiles and mezcal, we did it all. This was an excellent way to take in a number of sights in a relatively short trip. I highly recommend. Daniel and team were kind, thoughtful, and keen on providing a great experience. 10 out of 10... No notes!

Good value
Good value for this full day tour of Monte Albán and artisanal crafts with a stop a delicious lunch buffet. Just the right amount of time at each stop.

It’s a bus service more than anything
It’s basically a bus to get you back and forth to Monte Alban. You do get about 30 minutes with a local guide at Monte Alban explaining the history, and he was good. However the meeting location to pick up the bus is confusing and not well explained. The bus was clean, air conditioned, and the driver was friendly. If you have the 8am pickup you don’t leave Monte Alban until noon.

A Lesson in History
It's breathtakingly beautiful. We got so lucky because our guide turned out to be an archeologist who worked at Monte Alban and other surrounding archeological sights. We wouldn't have known either, if it wasn't for one of the other guides who pointed it out. The visit was informative and it didn't feel rushed. I felt like I was able to truly take in what we were being told with plenty of opportunities for questions.

Antonio is an amazing guide!
Amazing Guide! Antonio was amazing, he is a native Zapoteco and gave our tour in English and Spanish, his knowledge is very deep and passionate. He takes his time along the tour to give detailed information about Monte Alban, if I ever come back I would love to take another tour with him!

Incredible site made even better by a fantastic guide!
This is a ‘must do’ experience. Only about 20-30 minutes from Oaxaca. I’m not site if we were particularly lucky, but our (English-speaking) guide, Miguel, was just incredible! He was knowledgeable, passionate and very funny. We were a large group but he wrangled us all, and kept us all completely attentive and fascinated.
Monte Alban was incredible and I feel privileged to have been able to visit.

Great day.
Zenon picked us up right on time and stayed with us the entire day. We learned so much including the opportunity to listen to his native local language. He gave us a great tour even lead us down a tomb. Plenty of free time to explore afterwards and pointers of what we must check out. For lunch, we just wanted some beer and he was helped us order. Had a great day checking out the 3 shops and he even helped us translate everything. Safe driver, not sure what else to ask for.
