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
