Highly recommended - Bring a hat, and a lot of water, and be ready to walk and climb. Don't skip buffet lunch - their mole is far better than the mole served in expensive Oaxaca restaurants.

Good introduction to Oaxaca area - Jorge was a fantastic guide and this trip gives a good overview of many of Oaxaca’s treasures. Monte Alban is important and I highly recommend a visit there. The stops at the two artisan workshops were great.
