“We traveled by van to the site, meeting in the center of Oaxaca, we met our guide Michel at the site. Even though we arrived at the time it opened our guide spent much of the time talking outside the site, then at the beginning of the site. Some of his discussions were interesting but some very off target, all lengthy. We left the tour and read the information plaques next to the structures as he left very little time to actually view the full site and museum.”
