Excellent tour, very organized and punctual. Great experience in the cemetery. - Excellent tour. Very organized and punctual. The way and times in which the tour is organized, is perfect to enter the cemetery with relative ease and enjoy the lighting and all the celebration in general. Highly recommended!!

Unforgettable Mixquic Día de Muertos Experience - This tour was incredibly well organized from start to finish, and our guide Ricardo made all the difference. Even though Mixquic was extremely crowded, Ricardo timed everything perfectly - he got us into the cemetery before sunset, gave us a background of the traditions, the church, the courtyard, and advised us to stay inside once we were in because the crowds would get so heavy that we might not find our way back in, which was absolutely the right call. Because of that, we were able to spend the whole evening inside the church and cemetery, surrounded by candles, flowers, families, and tradition. It was beautiful, emotional, and truly unforgettable. We also really appreciated the extra care at the end of the night - instead of dropping us off at the original meeting point, Ricardo arranged for the van to leave us much closer to our hotel so we wouldn’t have to walk late at night. Highly recommended tour, especially if you want a meaningful and smoothly organized Día de Muertos experience in Mixquic. Ricardo was fantastic!

The encounter with a syncretic experience that still persists - The intervention of the guide Marisol was very good and made important efforts to give some explanations and guide us through the crowd without even having an identifying flag of the agency
