Overhyped, boring, horrible food - Overhyped, overpriced and horrible planning. Tour starts at 11am and the planned meal was only at 3:50pm. Yes they told to bring snacks, but who wants to eat their lunch at 4pm? Next thing the information could have been presented in more engaging manner, this tour was boring. And lastly the long awaited meal that was included was really the worst food I had in Oaxaca. We didn't see Mitla, they just took us there because they had a deal with restaurant (which I would not recommend to anyone) It was awkward how the tour guide was almost forcing us to leave tips. To organizers: if you want to improve this tour add lunch after field and have it in same palenque as tasting so there's no need to be stuck in a small car for extra hour.
