Great tour! learned a lot...

Great tour! learned a lot that I would not have on my own. The guide was friendly, informative and the transportation to and from Monte Alban was an easy ride. Try to go on the earlier side to avoid spending time in line to purchase tickets!

Top notch tour

Miguel was an exceptional guide. He is calm, informative without being overwhelming and very knowledgeable. His English was perfect which was important to me because I wanted to really learn about the civilization. Our group of five had a great time. The bus was very clean with wonderful air conditioning. The driver was on time and very careful.

Good fun, worth it. Take hat!

Good fun. We left from the city center in a van. Luckily just 2 couples, including us. The guide was engaging and managed a nice pace. Good grasp of history and pointed out many relevant bits. Well informed and informative.

Amazing archeology!

A most amazing day of many wonderful tour stops. Our tour guide Angel conducting the tour in English and Spanish, was an extraordinary host providing local in depth knowledge at all the archeological and artisinal stops. We learned so much interesting history. Our driver Luis spent many hours safely taking us to the many locations. I greatly recommend this tour.

Miguel is fantastic!

Miguel was an absolutely fantastic tour guide, very knowledgeable, a good sense of humor and able to answer all of the groups questions (which were plenty). He used great comparisons, easy to understand examples while still going into a lot of depth. The best tourguide we've ever had! The tour itself was very well organized as well, and very punctual.
