Gabriel is an excellent guide. He is well informed and communicates well. We learned a lot! He knew important and not always obvious details about Monte Alban. He took us to a fabulous local restaurant. One of the best meals on our trip. Warm, friendly atmosphere. Yum! We also went to place which produces famous black pottery. The woman who began making the pottery is no longer living but was visited by ex-Presidents and movie stars. Beautiful pottery, very reasonably priced.

We toured Monte Alban and a local artisan with Gabriel. He was a safe driver and an efficient & effective guide. He drives a comfortable SUV (no water provided). Gabriel is knowledgeable to a degree that will satisfy many tourists. He could benefit from additional education beyond what he has studied in his undergraduate education as well acquired on his own. He uses no aids. In terms of value, Gabriel is expensive at $300 for 2 ($100 / person would have been fair especially since we ended early.

This tour was no less than amazing thanks to Gabriel! Not only did we get a comprehensive history and viewing of Monte Alban, but Gabriel took us to see beautiful black clay pottery and TWO delicious restaurants in addition to giving us historical knowledge (that we asked for) throughout the drives. I honestly don't see how the tour could've been better. If you're on the fence, don't be! You'll have an amazing time!

He is a very good guy who has studied in the USA and so has perfect English. He is flexible in designing a tour to needs. He is very knowledgeable. We definitely would use him again and recommend him to others.

Gabriel was a wonderful, personable and knowledgeable guide. We would highly recommend him to anyone traveling in Mexico (as he does tours in many parts of the country). We went on a tour with him to Monte Alban, and then to lunch and shopping I the black pottery village of San Bartolo where we went to a few stores until we found exactly what we were looking for.

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Gabriel in Oaxaca. Professional, personable, incredibly knowledgeable, exceptional English skills. I felt like I was traveling with an old friend. He did everything he could to maximize my experience at Monte Alban and help me appreciate the local culture. Having done his own extensive research, he was able to patiently entertain all of questions
