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!

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.

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.

Fantastic tour and leader, Miguel
Our tour with Miguel was amazing. His knowledge of the area, its history and the civilization was impressive. Also his extensive knowledge of other similar civilizations around the world lent valuable context to what he told us. The history of Mexico and of the Zapotec is fascinating, and he brought it alive for us. We have taken a lot of tours in many parts of the world and this was certainly one of the best. Thank you Miguel.

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!

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.
