How is the Day of the Dead celebrated in Mexico?
Death in Mexico is not considered a taboo. It is a reason to remember the ancestors that are no longer here, and do what they liked to do. If they liked mole, we eat mole. If they liked pan de muertos, there will be pan de muertos, and if they liked to celebrate, then we celebrate in a happy and respectful way.
Part of the profits are destined to the community.
In the tours we include visits to communities outside of Mexico City. We donate flowers so they can decorate the tombs, and give a contribution to the cemeteries for cleaning and other expenses.
What a great tour

Fantastic Dia de los Muertos tour
I joined the Dia de los Muertos tour on 2 Nov. I was a bit apprehensive because it was going to be a long day, from 8am to 10pm - but in the end, it was so worth it and I'm very glad I went! We stopped in Xochimilco first for a short ride on a trajinera, tacos and drinks and mariachis... then we visited two busy cemeteries, including Mixquic. The transport was comfortable, our guide Paco was friendly, clear, fun and had good English. It was a pleasure to be able to witness Day of the Dead like a local, I couldn't have done this without the tour and everything was a really high standard. Thank you for the memories! crickets. Try 'em out, I promise it's all good.
And of course, we're in Mexico City. So there's plenty to see. Blink and you could miss it.
Thanks again.

Just amazing!!
We went on the “Real Day of the Dead” tour. It was exactly how it was advertised and then some. A lovely time. We went on a boat tour with lunch. Then we visited two cemeteries and were able to witness the local customs of Day of the Dead. A great experience.
