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.

You have to do this! The tour guide was incredible and answered all of my questions. After the tour, you have time to roam around, visit the museum, and grab a bite to eat. This place was unlike anything I've ever seen. If you love history and learning- this is a must.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Monte Alban excursion
Our guide Ricardo was extremely well-informed and gave us a fascinating window into the world of the Zapotec people. We highly recommend the tour and the guide.
