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.

Excellent Tour
Our tour guide is an excellent guide. His knowledge of Monte Alban was very impressive. We learned a great deal about the Zapotec civilization: culture, linguistics, traditions, astrology, etc. We will definitely recommend him you our friends and family who plan to visit Oaxaca.

Afternoon at Monte Alban
Probably should wear a hat...maybe take some sunscreen.
Also take plenty of water---there is a snack bar, but it closed before we finished sight seeing.

Excellent value
This is a very worthwhile tour. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about the history of this region. The tour was very varied and we covered many different areas, each one interesting and informative. We were shown the black pottery workshop and given a demonstration, and a workshop to see beautiful works of art being hand woven. Definitely well worth the cost.

Great day spent
It’s a long day, but you get to see so much, with ample time at each location. A great way to immerse yourself into Oaxacan history and culture.

Great tour of Monte Alban
Our guide Miguel was very knowledgeable and passionate. The guided tour lasted for about 2hrs, then we had 1hr of free time to explore by ourselves. Good balance and ample time! Alternatively, they offered to take us back to the city at a later time if we wanted. Great experience overall!

Oaxacaking
It was great. Sites were beautiful. Bring swim suit if you want to swim at hieva agua. Yaris was very knowledgeable but the tour at monte alban was rushed. We weren’t anle to visit the museum. We weren’t given too much info about hierva. We had a mexican buffet for lunch. Mescal tasting was very informative. We got to taste the harshest and smoothest mezcal

Great tour to Monte Albán
The tour is bilingual (S/E). The guide, Gabriel, is very nice and knowledgeable. He made a great effort to make us comfortable for his bilingual presentation even though the bilingual tour is a little bit annoying to us at times.
