Beautiful Cenotes and Great Guide — Skip the Food Package
My husband and I did the 3-cenotes tour in Mexico and overall had a great time. The cenotes were absolutely beautiful, the water was refreshing, and the whole experience was really fun. Transportation was excellent — they picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel right on time. Our driver, Mauricio, was very kind, the car was clean, had AC, and the ride was smooth.Our guide, Miguel, was fantastic — friendly, helpful, and made the tour enjoyable. The transportation itself was fun, and we also enjoyed the little Mexican show with dancers, which was a nice touch.The only downside was the check-in process and, especially, the all-inclusive food package. Check-in felt a bit overwhelming because everyone seemed to arrive at the same time. During that process, we were strongly encouraged to buy the all-inclusive food package by the person explaining the tour details — who was also selling the package. It was almost the same price as the tour itself, and we were made to feel like we’d be starving because it’s a long tour.In reality, the food package is completely unnecessary. Time flies between cenotes, and you barely have time to eat. We weren’t hungry at the first cenote, and by the second one we realized the package was a waste of money. The food was very basic (chicken nuggets, fries, and small “mini sandwiches”), and honestly not very good. At the third cenote, food wasn’t even offered — only drinks — which made the package even more pointless. At the end, the tour already includes a snack (2 tacos), which is more than enough, and when we tried to order more tacos using the all-inclusive package, we were told it only applied to certain types.My advice: do not get the food package. Bring your own snacks if needed — you really won’t miss it.Despite that, the cenotes themselves, the guide, and the transportation made this a memorable and enjoyable experience. Just skip the food upsell and you’ll have a great time!
