Oaxaca by Locals - A Great Time Learning and Wandering - My daughter and I took a trip to Monte Alban, an alebrije workshop and a black pottery workshop with Pavel as guide and Aron as driver. They were both a delight to be with; very knowledgeable, personable, patient and flexible. We learned a lot about the history of all three locations which included the opportunity to watch the artists at work. I loved the fact that the guides were very accommodating and gave us plenty of time to wander in all three locations and gave me a hand, literally, with climbing up and down the steps at Monte Alban. After taking this tour and a few others with Oaxaca by Locals I would recommend them without reservation.

The Monte Alban experience - Tour and guide was superb. His background in archeology enhanced our experience. His knowledge and explanations were not notch. Don Rosalio Felix treated my family and myself with courtesy and a deep regard for someone seeking knowledge beyond cursory and superficial facts about the people, place and events at Monte Alban. Without reservation I recommend the operator of this tour. On a closing note, Mr. Felix even accommodated our need for cool refreshments on what was a hot and very sunny August day. Truly a scholar and a gentleman.

Excellent guide, excellent experiences - Guillermo our guide was excellent. I was the only American on the tour, and he took the time to translate the historical and archeological points of interest at Monte Alban and to make sure he answered my questions. Both the alebrijes and black pottery workshops were fascinating and informative, and there was never any pressure to buy. The objects in both places are so high-quality and beautiful it's difficult to decide which ones you can't live without! Be aware that because of Covid and the vacation season here in Mexico, it can take more than an hour and a half to be admitted to Monte Alban; you sit in the van and wait for your turn. As in many places in Oaxaca, the number of visitors allowed is restricted.
