A beautiful day - Our tour was wonderful. We started at Monte Albán, and having a guide made all the difference, we learned so much and got a much deeper appreciation for the site. After the ruins, we visited a family that makes alebrijes, and it was great to see how much work and creativity goes into each piece, we visited a home in a small village where we watched a backstrap loom weaving demonstration, which was honestly beautiful to see, we also stopped at a workshop that produces black pottery, and they showed us step by step how it’s made. It was a full day, but it never felt rushed. A great way to experience Oaxaca’s culture and traditions.

Beyond Expectations! - This tour was truly outstanding. Visiting amazing sites like Monte Albán was breathtaking, but what really made the difference was our guide Fernando. He was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and attentive. The experiences with mezcal, weaving, and chocolate gave us a deep connection to Oaxacan culture. If I could, I’d give this tour more than 5 stars
