This is a full day which balanced an in depth guided visit of the historical site of Monte Alban with visits to local artisans and artists keeping traditional crafts and production methods alive. Yareth made an excellent guide and companion for the day and was exceptionally helpful in her willingness to accommodate my interests and requests. Would heartily recommend this tour!
Muchas gracias. saludos desde Oaxaca.
Yareth was an incredible guide! She really made the whole experience worth it. She is very passionate about Oaxacan history and culture which meant she was able to give us a very authentic and informative experience. She answered all our questions and made the whole experience great all around. As for the stops- Monte Albán was breathtaking and the Alebrije and textile workshops were so impressive. We also really enjoyed seeing the tree and had lunch at a delicious restaurant. We had a wonderful time and recommend this tour 100% to anyone with only a short amount of time in Oaxaca!
Thank You. Yareth
