Highly recommended experience
Excellent experience, from the transportation, very punctual, the guide Angel at Monte Alban, very good and the whole tour at the site was interesting, the transportation staff were always attentive and the other places visited, mezcal distillery, alebrije workshop and black clay workshop, everything was very cool, recommended experience

A cultural moment
A 4-hour excursion, travel included, worth doing because it is very close to Oaxaca City. We learn a lot about the Zapotec civilization and Monte Albán, and we understand the Oaxacan culture better. The guide gives us all the explanations, then at the end we can walk around the site freely. You can climb steps if you wish to access a hill (it's a workout!!!). At the exit, there is a small museum included in the price

A great full day tour
We did the whole day. Primero Monte Alban. Wear a hat and cream. The guide made it interesting, although it would be necessary to qualify the security of a historical period of which little is known and ensure this one too much. The buffet very wide, lots of variety, good moles, the meat was poor quality, somewhat hard. The palenque almost tried nine mezcales which is notorious but they give you one after the other that you do not distinguish anything, they need coffee seeds or something to regain taste, lack attention to detail because good product have. We went to black mud and mulch workshops. They are more expensive than buying at the market but the quality is high, and I think it is good to know who the artisan is and to be able to know where the product you buy came from.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.
How much does Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Oaxaca City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Oaxaca City is not rushed.
Is Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Oaxaca City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Oaxaca City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Oaxaca City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Tour to Monte Albán with Handicrafts start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Oaxaca City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Oaxaca City?
+
On Outty we rank every Oaxaca City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include AUTHENTIC OAXACA CULTURAL FOOD TOUR, eat like a local., Hierve el Agua 2.5 hours, Mitla, Tule, Rugs and Mezcal for a Day, Traditional Oaxaqueña Cooking with Grandma's Recipes. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Oaxaca City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Oaxaca City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
