Wonderful Experience at Monte Alban

Barbara_P, Apr 2024

Comfortable ride to Monte Alban and back. Our guide was great! His knowledge and the way he shared it with the group made Monte Alban come to life. This was my second tour to this special place and it was much more informative than the first one. I highly recommend this experience.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Good experience of History and Local culture

Priyanka_G, Mar 2024

Tour guide was good, knowledgeable and explained the history of Monte Alban very well. We also visited the Cuilapan church, Coyotepec pottery demonstration and the Arrazola wood curving center. Except for the last one which was unbelievably overpriced, rest of the places were good. My only slight dissatisfaction was the tour guide's inability to handle the situation at buffet lunch where I had very little option because of not eating meat. Firstly the operator didn't bother to check my food choice. Then despite reminding the tour guide about my food preferences, even before arriving at the buffet, I was asked to eat dry chicken and rice and still pay the full buffet rate. Thankfully the restaurant owner was nice to accept a reduced rate from me and also arrange some vegetarian soup for me.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent tour experience. We're pleased to hear that you found the tour guide knowledgeable and enjoyed the explanations about the history. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced at the buffet lunch but glad it was arranged for you. Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will use it to improve our services and ensure a better experience for future tours. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a more seamless and enjoyable experience.

Worth the Trip

Steven_B, Dec 2023

Monte Albán was beautiful and educational. Our tour guide was exceptional as was our driver. However, there were over 20 people in the group (2 vans) pretty evenly split between English speaking and Spanish speaking, so the tour guide had to say everything twice, and it was too many people to hear him well at each stop - not his fault!

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how was your experience, usually, we do send 1 bilingual guide however I will verify this situation because the whole group should be able to hear the explication Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed this tour with us! hope to see you back soon.

Our guide was very...

Beatriz_M, Nov 2023

Our guide was very knowledgeable, perfect time allowed for monte Alban. Some time with the guide and time to explore on our own. The stops to the small towns were my favorite, to see the artisans who make the alebrijes, embroidery, and pottery was amazing to see and happy to support small business.

Response from Host, Nov 2023
