Guide was great and Monte Alban was an exceptional sight to see. It would have been nice to be taken through Monte Alban main area in more detail as the guided tour effectively stopped when we arrived there. The ‘art’ part of the tour (with the exception of donna rosa’s pottery which was fantastic) wasn’t really artistic, more a spending spree.. we went to see the wood cutters which was cool but it’s just a very big shop. We also went to see the chocolate factory, which was a small store and the chocolate wasn’t that great.. we didn’t learn anything about the art or hirstory of chocolate making but we did have an opportunity to buy lots of chocolate.. all in all, it’s a good tour and good value for money, but it would have been far better if it was a bit more historical and artistic rather than keeping the focus on the shopping,

Our guide was excellent and we both felt that we learned a lot about local Zapotec culture and the archeological site. The lunch at Casa Frida de mi Corazón was superb, truly a highlight. I did feel that the two two stops for alebrijas and black pottery, he was promoting it too hard. I appreciated his speaking Zapotec for us and he was vey considerate. All in all a great tour.

El tour estuvo muy bonito e interesante. Ivan nuestro guía fue muy amable y nos guió en todo el recorrido compartiendonos a detalle datos históricos de Monte Alban, así como detalles de la elaboración de los alebrijes y del barro negro. En este tour pudimos disfrutar de tantos colores que son representativos de Oaxaca, un tour muy hermoso. Algo muy importante es durante el tour se llevan a cabo medidas preventivas para COVID, el guía esta muy bien preparado sobre el tema.
