Educational and insightful tour

Published on Dec, 2024

Great experience with Luis, our guide, in Mt. Albán. It is a very interesting archeological site to visit due to the size and importance and Luis explained everyting clearly. Do not miss a visit to the Oaxaca Cultural museum where you find the treasures archelogist found in Mt Alban. Visits to the mezcal and the ceramic factory were also great. Bring a lot of water and sunscreen and be prepared to climb a lot of stairs

Angel was excellent.

The variety of cultural stops we made on tour and Angel, our guide is bi-lingual. He never seemed agitated, was very caring of the many elderly customers.

Excellent!!!

Excellent guide. Tour included Monte Albun, Mezcal tasting, balck pottery demo, wooden craft shop, and chocolate shop. The amazing lunch buffet was 225 peso. I was solo woman traveler. It was safe and wonderful experience. Highly recommend this tour. LOVED IT. Thank you!

Great tour

Published on Nov, 2024

This was such a great tour! Thank you Luis and Benjamin! There was the perfect balance between interesting facts and history and freedom and time to explore. Luis is very personable, helpful and thoughtful. All the locations were chosen well and the van was comfortable. We got lucky with a good group too!

Great day!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had a great day on the Monte Albán tour led by Luis. Our guide Luis was very informative and shared great information about the history of Monte Albán in particular. We were picked up in a small yet comfortable van, and our group was just five including us (six including Luis), which was a great size. The drive to Monte Albán passes by quickly, and provides nice views of the valley on the way up. Once at Monte Albán, Luis guided us through the first portion sharing plenty of backstory for about 30 minutes or so. Afterwards, we were given 50 minutes to explore the ruins, which are spectacular. The site is beautiful, and hard to capture well without being there in person. The history of the Zapotec, followed by Mixteca, civilizations that lived there is very interesting. This is the site where an amazing burial tomb was discovered. Would definitely recommend separately going to the cultural museum next to Santo Domingo church someday after or before to see the skull covered in turquoise stones and the other excavated artifacts. Following Monte Albán, there was a quick Mezcal tasting, followed by lunch at a buffet style spot (try the tlayudas - similar to a large crispier quesadilla sort of), then to an Alebrijes workshop to see the artisans making some of them, and an opportunity to purchase some if you’d like. You can also find plenty of Alebrijes all over the city of Oaxaca if you’d prefer. The end of the tour was capped off with a visit to the Barro negra (black pottery) shop of Dona Rosa. We were shown an example of how they throw the pottery by hand, and the craftsmanship behind it. Overall a great day and worth seeing, especially to visit Monte Albán and learn of its history.
