Good tour for Dia de Muertos

Published on Nov, 2024

The tour is well organized and our guide was passionate about what we see. They were punctual regarding the start time. We came back al 2am. We visited 3 cementeries, a comida, we were offered mezcal and have the right time to visit. Our feeling about what happens to the graves was different: many people, too many tourists, loud music. Well that is probably the Dia de Muertos, and it is not the tour's fault about what we felt. As a suggestion they should allow less tourists to the graves.
