Great tour

Had a great time learning about the Zapotecs and the site. Miguel was very informative and knowledgeable of the site and mesoAmerican history. He gave great tips for after, like visiting toumb 7 at the museum.

Terrible experience

Our transportation never picked us up after the excursion and we had to take a local bus after waiting for almost an hour. We called the agency and they kept saying traffic was bad which was a lie because there was no traffic once we got on the local bus. The tour guide was even rude at the end when we kept asking when our transportation would be arriving.

Fantastic guide!

What a fantastic experience! The drive to Monte Alban was smooth. Miguel, our guide, was a gem. He was full of knowledge and knew all the history of the Zapotecs. He spoke perfect English and used humour when he was talking about the history. Thanks for a great tour!

Half day left us wanting more

Miguel was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and entertaining. We purchased the half day but truly could have spent another couple of hours listening to more of the details.

Simple request unanswered.

Was really disappointed in this company. They refused to honor a request from Viator to reschedule our tour dates due to a mixup somewhere. So I paid for four people in advance and fid not receive any service. Buyer beware, a simple acknowledgement would have suffice but did not receive anything.

Operator response

Hey there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your disappointment. After reviewing your reservation, we found that the request to reschedule was submitted after the tour had already started, which is why we were unable to approve the change. As outlined in the booking terms accepted at the time of purchase, rescheduling or refunds are not available once the activity has begun or in the case of a no-show, which is your case , we called you just before boarding to find out your status We understand how frustrating travel mix-ups can be, and we sincerely regret that the situation did not work out as you had hoped. We always strive to apply the same booking policies fairly to all our guests while providing the best service possible. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the very best in your future travels Lescas Co Tours

Amazing guided tour

Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide Miguel was so knowledgeable and gave us so much context and history. The site was beautiful and really interesting. Half day was plenty and it was nice to get there before it was too hot and be back for lunch.
