    Another wonderful day in Oaxaca, with a great guide.

    Daniel our great driver and guide arrived on time to our Airbnb and took us to Monte Alban where he explained a lot about this beautiful world heritage. Then he drove is to a small village where we met Angelico Jimenez who explained us all about Tona (better known as alebrijes), how they are made, material, colors, everything. Then we went to Raúl in Casa Pochote who told us all about woolen tapestry. After that Lourdes told us all about Mezcal in El Rey de Matatlan and we tasted the most delicious Mezcal I'd ever tried. Last but not least we went to the Tule tree, which was really impressive and beautiful. We had a wonderful day!!!

    Response from the operator: gracias por visitar Oaxaca y por compartir su experiencia con nosotros.

    Great and friendly guided tour of Monte Alban!

    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!

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias. saludos desde Oaxaca.

    Wonderful tour!

    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!

    Response from the operator: Thank You. Yareth

    Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Oaxaca City.

    How much does Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree cost?

    +

    Prices start at $303 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 Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 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 Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree?

    +

    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 Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Tour : Monte Alban, Alebrijes, Teotitlan, Mezcal and Tule Tree 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.
