Itinerary

  • Mexico City (Pass By)

    The Day of the Dead Tour, the most exclusive once-a-year tour, offers a unique opportunity to experience Mexico City through the lens of its rich Day of the Dead traditions. Begin with a panoramic journey past the city’s streets, admiring some of its most iconic landmarks like the Monumento a la Revolución, the Ángel de la Independencia, or the Paseo de la Reforma.

  • N/A

    Visit a cemetery at night, where you can marvel at the beautifully crafted altars made by local families to honor their ancestors while discovering the intriguing blend of pre-Hispanic and Catholic views on death. Learn about this common ritual in Mexico thanks to the insights shared by your certified guide.

    2 hours

  • Xochimilco

    Conclude your unforgettable evening with a magical trajinera ride through Xochimilco’s canals, as live mariachi music fills the air and you glide by the enchanting floating gardens, known as chinampas, while singing and dancing to the rhythm of Mexican music.

    2 hours

  • Floating Gardens of Xochimilco

    For the Day of the Dead Immersive Tour, enjoy a trajinera ride around the canals of Xochimilco to begin feeling the mysticism, colors, and emotions of the ancient festivity of the Day of the Dead until reaching the place where the experience will take place: a traditional Chinampa.

So much fun while learning about culture

Published on Nov, 2024

We had an amazing time on our Day of the Dead experience! Our guides Carlo and Betsabe are knowledgeable, welcoming and charming. They brought us together as a group in fun ways and made our night great fun! I hope to book another tour with them in the future. Our driver Jaime handle the road safely even during bursts of rain so we felt comfortable

Fascinating
