Very interesting tour.
We had another guide have to cancel our original tour, so thankfully, we were able to book this one last minute. Our guide was very smart and knowledgeable. He Cf presented the information well and was easily able to answer everyone’s questions. I enjoyed the bit of free time before leaving Monte Albán.

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.

Amazing guide and experience!
The Monte Albán excursion was great! Our guide Miguel was excellent, I learnt so much about the history of the Zapotec civilisation, his knowledge was exceptional!

All Day: Monte Alban, Mezcal ++
Yareth was fantastic. We spent the entire day. She was knowledgeable, smart, helpful and fun. I would definitely recommend her!

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.

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

Truly a highlight of any...
Truly a highlight of any tour even if you're a casual history buff. The best part was that it started much earlier than most tours, which meant I got to walk up and down the pyramids and take in all the site had to offer before the big groups showed up. The 2 hours allowed to freely explore was more than enough. Just bring some comfy walking shoes, a jacket or hoodie (it does get a bit cold because of the high altitude), and an umbrella (it drizzled a bit towards the end of the tour).

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.
