Before and during the tour we had no problems. After the tour, our driver driving us back to the center was rude. He was not enforcing masks and he would lock the windows after telling people (in a rude way) to not open the windows because he had the ac on. Some guests said they opened the window because other guests in the van were not wearing a mask and he didn’t care.

Great guide, easy to work with.

Miguel was a knowledgeable, thorough, and passionate guide. He did an amazing job explaining what we were seeing, the culture of the Zapotecs, and putting everything in to context. Pickup was easy. Communication was great. And we really appreciated that the tour company let us come back on a later van. It gave us the time we wanted to explore Monte Albán. We did the half-day tour.
