Great site/Knowledgeable Guide - Miguel was our guide for a tour of Monte Albon. He was very knowledgeable and enjoyed sharing information on the cultures that built and as well as used the site. I recommend this tour as part of a visit to Oaxaca.

Fantastic if you really want to understand and appreciate culture and history! - Fernando is fantastic!! Highly recommended. He grew up nearby so he's been coming to Monte Alban since he was a child. He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Oaxaca and it's history. There wasn't one question I asked that didn't open up a well of knowledge inside him. And even you don't care so much about history, Fernando knows all the best picture views (and is happy to snap them!) Plus he's super nice, with a lot of patience.

Perfect tour!! - Me and my 12 years old son had a wonderful time at Monte Alban with Fernando! We’ve got a morning tour and it was perfect, hardly any people, nice breeze. Fernando is an excellent guide, he was going with our pace, has a wealth of knowledge about the history of the region, was answering all our questions. Highly recommended! Thank you Fernando!

Educational Experience - We really enjoyed our trip to Monte Alban. The history and ruins were much more impressive than we anticipated and our guide was very knowledgeable! Definitely bring sunscreen, water and a hat! There is very little shade and numerous precarious steps, but worth it!
