Highlights

Experience the true essence of the Day of the Dead with an immersive journey through Mexico’s most vibrant and authentic celebrations. For the past nine years, we have been offering unforgettable Day of the Dead tours in Mexico City as locals who truly belong to these cemeteries. With over 50 different private and group tour options, we ensure a comfortable and well-organized experience.


Our tour takes you beyond the festival crowds of Mixquic. We offer a unique opportunity to explore a lesser-known yet deeply traditional cemetery in Tecomitl. You will witness firsthand how locals honor their ancestors by decorating graves with marigolds, candles, and personal offerings. Check our pictures!


This package includes private transportation, delicious Mexican food, and expert guidance from knowledgeable hosts. They will explain the rich history, symbolism, and evolution of this UNESCO-recognized tradition.
