Great Addition to Our Oaxaca Vacation

Published on Nov, 2024

The guide was very knowledgeable, informative and interesting. He did a great job at bringing the historical areas to life.

10/10 Day of history and artisanal workmanship

Published on Nov, 2024

We met our group at the stunning Hotel Quinta Real in downtown Oaxaca where we got to grab a quick breakfast. Next we made our way out to the Zapotec ruins of Monte Alban with the group. Our guide Gabriel was very kind and informative, we learned so much about the Zapotec people and it was so cool to walk the grounds and imagine life back then. The next stop was at a Tallera where we met the owner, Angelico, who is a 3rd generation master carver and painter of tonas and nahuales. He gave us a master class on his carvings and natural dyes that he uses. We also got a close up of all his finished pieces and marveled at his intricate designs. Thereafter, we headed to a delightful Oaxacan buffet where there was all this amazing food! We tried all 9 main moles. The last stop was visiting an ex convent and a later black pottery shop for another master class. We were dropped off just in time to get a great spot for the parade.

ok day tour

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour to Mt. Albans is great. We had just enough time there to see everything. Hotel pick up was appreciated too. The lunch buffet was excellent. The shopping stops were interesting but I wouldn't do those again. I was really looking forward to seeing the chapel and convent but when we got there we couldn't go in because of lack of time? So that was very disappointing. For the price the tour was good but next time I might get a taxi.

Interesting and divers

Published on Nov, 2024

I really enjoyed this tour. Monte Alban is magnificent and the places to visit where the handcrafted artifacts are created are very interesting. The tour guide explained very well with a excellent sense of humour.
