Absolutely amazing experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

Miguel is an amazing tour guide. He has deep knowledge of Monte Alban and the Zapotec people and shared it through memorable storytelling. We feel lucky to have experienced this. The van was on time and comfortable. Highly recommended!

Miguel was top notch, you will not be disappointed!

Published on Dec, 2024

Driver was great and safe, tour guide Miguel was extremely knowledgeable, great storyteller and looked out for interests of the group. For example he discussed issues he would not have with a different mix of guests. Good timing for the tour and visit, overall a top notch experience.

Best tour in Oaxaca

Published on Dec, 2024

The tour guide (english tour) was so passionate about Monte Albon, which made the tour phenomenal. He knew so much and you could feel he loves what he does. The way he involved the group was great too, it didn’t feel like someone reading off a script at all. I know if the tour was longer he would’ve had even more to say but he did his best within the time we had together.

I loved the small group,...

Published on Dec, 2024

I loved the small group, arriving to the archaeological site early when it was quiet and our guides amazing knowledge

Good English speaking...

Published on Dec, 2024

Good English speaking guide who obviously studied and had a passion for archeology provided insight into historic native languages and dialect differences.
