The tour guide was educational but had to speak in both Spanish and English and at times was hard to understand. We felt like we missed a lot of the education because of this.

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.
J
Good Value
Good value with authentic/local guide. Extremely knowledgeable. Half a day good enough to explore the place. I would recommend a full day if you want an extensive survey of the site.
C
Excellent tour
Excellent tour, perfect length. Views were stunning and the history incredible. Our tour guide had expert knowledge. Just bring a hat and water and there is a small snack bar. They also had a small museum and gift shop

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.
