The visit to Monte Albán was great! Jeshua was our guide and did an excellent job of explaining the history of the site. We had plenty of time to explore. The pickup was on time.

Our tour guide Jeshua was great. He gave me the option to join the full day tour and I'm so glad I did. His information was great, explained both in Spanish and English - easy to understand. He was very patient and when we stopped for lunch he took the time to explain all the various dishes which was very helpful.

The tour was excellent, it could be improved by giving more detail of the civilisations and referring to the exhibits that are on display at the Museum of culture, a must see to get the most out of the experience.

The tour guide Ede was very enthusiastic and knowledgable.

We were happy to find a half-day tour to view Monte Alban. Most tours were the full day adding on other stops but this one perfectly fit our schedule. The tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. The pick-up was prompt and the drive was very comfortable. Monte Alban is stunning and definitely worth the visit!
