Day of the Dead (Día de Muertos) in a real cementery. Mexico City

8 to 10 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Are you in Mexico City and want to experience the authentic Day of the Dead?

There are many things to do on this day; however, there are very few public places where the government allows the original Day of the Dead celebrations.

If you're interested in Mexican culture, learning about the history of this celebration, and enjoying like a local, then this tour is for you!

We are going to stay at my place, where you can be sure you are going to be safe and sound.

We are going to have variaty of food and drinks (hygiene is our main priority, so forget about food poisoning),that way you can rest and wait until it gets darker and see how we celebrate the death at night!

We're going to eat first, to get energy. After that, we are going to walk to the parish, see some handcrafts and finally we are going to visit the cementery!

On that night everything's really crowded. That's the importance of being at the place early that day. It's really difficult to be there after it gets darker.
