Tours and Tickets to Experience San Antonio Arrazola

Great experience! Hit a bunch of great spots and learned a lot about local art and culture! Very convenient and well organized.

Fantastic tour. Our guide was excellent. He was passionate and well spoken. He is an archaeologist so he knows his stuff. Learned so much. The lunch was awesome!!

Our tour guide Emanuel did an outstanding job, being kind and exited to share all the information he has gathered through his own life, experience and studying. He had every bit of information about every place, every historical name, every historical time. I totally recommend enjoying this tour.

We enjoyed the majority of the trip. Gabriel was a knowledgeable and very good-natured guide. Luis was a very cautious, careful driver, much appreciated on narrow, windy roads and particularly on the unpaved and bumpy passages into smaller villages. Though the choices were plentiful, we found the lunch disappointing. My friend thought the meat was inedible. Perhaps you could suggest an option to bring a bag lunch for those who might not want to spend the money on a meal. The stop in Cuilápam should have been better described; it was noted that the entrance was optional ($200+ MXN), but there weren’t accommodations for an alternate place to wait for the group should you choose to opt out. The trip was lengthy and included a lot of walking and going up and down steep stairs, often without railings. Nonetheless, we were happy to have gone on trip. Really loved seeing the many vistas of the valleys that include Oaxaca. Appreciated the very informative background history of the numerous indigenous groups in the area, the diversity of languages, the hierarchy within communities, the impact of the Spanish conquerors, all clearly explained by Gabriel. Similarly, the wide range of topics he addressed during visit to museum at Monte Albán was fascinating! ¡Muchas gracias!

Lovely, informative tour that makes a great day trip from Oaxaca. We left promptly at 8:30 and returned to Oaxaca City a bit after 5 pm. We particularly loved Monte Alban and the pottery demonstration. Lunch was ~300 pesos apiece (buffet + one beer) + Monte Alban/monastery entrances (175 pesos apiece) + tip.

Monte Albán's arqueological site exceeded our expectations. A really beautiful site in a wonderful setting. Transport was punctual and comfortable. Antonio, our guide was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator.

The guide is very knowledgeable in providing the history of the sights. He even took the group to sit in one of the courts in mt albán for a live demonstration. The tour did take longer than expected and the guide sometimes went on ranting about his views on life, but overall it was a great tour.

Wear sunscreen! An umbrella is also very helpful to keep the sun off you. Our guide was fantastic. Very knowledgeable. Fluent in both English and Spanish.
