Lescas Tours Oaxaca provided very comfortable transportation, an excellent driver, and a wonderful tour guide. Monte Albán itself is a sight to see and the history is so interesting. The interpretive signs could be updated, as several of them were illegible because they were so weathered. Overall, it was a great day!
A Disappointing First Impression

My experience with this tour was unfortunately soured from the moment we arrived. The initial interaction with the check-in lady was incredibly unwelcoming. She was not only grumpy, but actively rude, which is a terrible way to start a paid experience. Also, after we finished our coffee, we asked her if there was a trash can for our cups. We tried in both English and Spanish, but she ignored us and eventually just snapped, "No." The strange behavior continued throughout the boarding process. When it was time to board, she called out groups, but completely ignored us. The entire situation was confusing and awkward. It's truly baffling that the first person you interact with at a company could be so dismissive. While the tour itself was great—the trip was short and our guide was excellent—it doesn't excuse the terrible customer service we received at the start. My one-star rating is a direct reflection of the check-in experience, as the first "face" of a company is critical, and this tour company clearly has it wrong.

The van was safe and comfortable, though the roads leading up to Monte Albán are windy—fellow motion sickness survivors beware! I really enjoyed this experience, though, which was made possible by the indigenous guide who conducted the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and personable, and welcomed any and all questions along the way.
Great Tour!
