Monte Alban is Spectacular! The site is very interesting and impressive with a rich history. Our guide Edelmira was very accommodating and knowledgeable. Take a hat/cap/umbrella for protection from the sun. Also, wear comfortable shoes with some traction.

It was my last day in Oaxaca and decided to do half day tour. This is a great tour. Ede is extremely knowledgeable and a fun guide. I asked to be dropped at the cultural museum afterwards and this was not a problem. I would recommend joining this tour.
