What are people saying about Monte Albán

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.

Even more awesome than expected
More interesting and extensive than i expected. Hope you get Miguel as your guide since he was highly informative on history and culture— important. Suggest going to room III of the Oaxaca Museo de las Culturas beforehand. Ascending pyramids not difficult due to wide steps.

A lot of bang for your buck
This is a great way to see multiple spots in the mountains outside of Oaxaca in one day. Irvin was very nice and knowledgeable, also very accommodating! I’d recommend to anyone interested in 2+ of these activities.

You need to go!
Nice experience, close to town so we didn’t have to ride so long to get there. Knowledgeable guide, amazing to be there in the ancient site.

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.

Great tour
Great historic sites, great Mexican buffet lunch and the pyramids and ancient convent were stunning.

Guided tour
I thought that our guide would use more English as my Spanish isn’t solid. The tour was amazing. Just wish I had understood more of the content.

Good Value
Good value with authentic/local guide. Extremely knowledgeable. Half a day good enough to explore the place. I would recommend a full day if you want an extensive survey of the site.

Totally worth it
Totally worth it! Learned so much outside of the plaques and just the added context made the experience and visit so much more valuable. Miguel was a great storyteller and really knew his stuff. Other reviews that mention doing this prior to the museum were spot on! Def save the museum visit for after so you have more appreciation and knowledge of what all you’re seeing.

Perfect day!
We highly recommend this tour! Our group of 3 friends had a private tour with Irvin and had a perfect day! The tour was well-timed and a good mix of different types of activities. Irvin was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great experience in Oaxaca!
