1.Day of the Dead Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 97 reviews · 8 hours · from $57Our pick

A Nov 1 Day of the Dead guided tour in Mexico City with landmark lights, Panteón de Dolores altars, and a Mariachi night trajinera.

“Dana notre guide nous a perdu durant l'excursion. On est rentré avec Ruben. Dana n'a pas les best practise d'un guide, elle manque de formation. c'est très mauvais pour un guide de perdre ses voyageurs. Elle a besoin de beaucoup plus de formation. Elle n'a jamais compté le nombre de voyageurs que nous étions durant l'excursion, seulement à la montée dans le car. Elle marchait extrêmement vite. De nombreuses personnes n'arrivaient pas à la suivre. Sinon la visite du cimetière le soir est très émouvant. Très touchant. La ballade en barque sur les canaux est sympa, malheureusement les boissons et la nourriture proposées à la vente ne sont pas au…”

2.Day of the Dead Tour in Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 78 reviews · 7 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $73

Spend an evening on Mexico City Day of the Dead night altars and an Xochimilco trajinera with live mariachi, for $73.

“Over 400 participants, very unorganized bus transport where we waited over 45 mins in line to board the bus. We insisted on being in the English speaking tours, but was forced to join a mainly Spanish speaking group making it very difficult to enjoy. Guides did their very best with the complicated logistics but the group of family/kids/couples kept to themselves and was not the fun party vibe that we were looking for. If you’re going to go, go with a large group of your friends or make sure you land with guides who can rally the group.”

3.Day of the Dead Tour in San Andres Míxquic From Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 52 reviews · from $94

Early access Day of the Dead in San Andrés Mixquic from Mexico City, with a small group, cemetery visits, and included pan de muerto and atole.

“Nothing like described! The guide was a nice person who really tried but the activity had really nothing. The transportation was very unpleasant and the Mixquic had nothing. Just a cemetery, some info about the día de Los muertos festivities, free time to the food vendors (that are everywhere in Mexico City and you don’t need to travel 5 hours round trip to get to them) and that’s it. Overpriced for what it does (not) offer and basically waste of time.”

Day of the Dead dinner and beer tastings on a Xochimilco canal boat, with a welcome cocktail and nighttime atmosphere.

“The guide and included transportation were nice. I’ve done regular Xochimilco and it was better. I expected to see more light displays as pictured in the ad. Also, I could hear/understand the Catrina and I’m bilingual. For the price, I expected so much more. The food was delicious. Overall, pretty disappointing.”

Experience a small-group downtown Mexico City Day of the Dead tour with Gabriel’s guide, metro rides, flower markets, altars, snacks.

“Fantastic tour! Recommend doing it on your first day to get a lay of the city and the subway and possibly the food. Yaya is super smart and friendly, and the sights you visit are very well chosen a great mixture of insider info only a local would know, and more touristy everyone-should-know-and-see-this-place-when-visiting-MC. Just loved it.”

15.Day of the Dead Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.4 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $89

Day of the Dead tour in Mexico City with illuminated landmarks, a traditional cemetery visit, and a night Xochimilco trajinera with live mariachi.

“Badly organised, a money grabbing gimmick. We were told to wait in line for a bus, and after waiting 30 mins, got on, and then told to get off the bus to join a different one, which we again had to wait for. We left an hour later than the meeting time. The guide was inexperienced, kept asking her co-guide what to say. There was no sightseeing as was listed in the itinerary. The cemetery we went to was frequented by the 10 large coaches they had operating so wasn't an authentic experience. We spent majority of the tour waiting around for 30 mins at a time. The xochimilco canals…”
