Excellent tour to an amazing place - This was an excellent tour. We were picked up at our hotel and went in a small air conditioned van to the ancient site. Our guide, Daniel, was wonderful. Very informative, patient, and super interesting. The whole place is a marvel of human culture and history. At around noon we gathered and were dropped back at the hotel. I would highly recommend doing this very interesting tour.

Ask for Antonio - I don't know whether it's possible to request a particular guide, but if you can, ask to be in a group led by Antonio. In my book, he rates as one of the best tour guides I've ever encountered. Incredibly knowledgable and thorough. Made all the difference in the world because otherwise, you're staring dumbly at ruins, stones and mounds without any clue about the rich history and culture that once existed at Monte Alban. One of the highlights of our visit to the Oaxaca region.

The visit to Monte Alban... - The visit to Monte Alban is absolutely amazing and worth the visit. The pick up and drop off process was easy and smooth. Invest in a guide who will walk the ruins with you and give an in-depth historical tour. The guide on our tour had a great personality but did not guide us throughout the ruins, which would have been helpful to learn important features of each the ruins.
