This itinerary is designed to provide the best possible experience of the annual Day of the Dead festivities around Mexico City. As such, there is very limited free time to explore many of the area’s most popular tourist attractions, including the Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Park. We recommend you stay a few extra days before or after the tour to make the most of this vibrant metropolis. If you would like to spend more time in Mexico City, we’ll be happy to book additional accommodation for you (subject to availability).

We will be operating multiple departures of this tour so it possible that more than one group will be at some locations or activities at the same time. However, each group will have a maximum of 12 passengers with its own dedicated tour leader.

Important notes

Traffic in Mexico City during this festival is very busy. This at times may hinder drive times and sitting in traffic.

The Day of the Dead parade date is only announced a few weeks before this trip departs- unfortuntely we can't predict if the parade will occur over the days our trip departs.
