Worth the chaos
Our tour guide Miguel was truly amazing,knowledgeable,stories and very funny,keeping an entire bus fully entertained,the town quite charming but very chaotic at this time and did not get to experience it the way projected ,but getting to see the families at the graveyard was deeplymoving and worth going to experience
Response from the operator: Hello, good day, thank you so much for your feedback on the activities in Mixquic. We are delighted that our guide, Miguel, was able to share with you the importance of our wonderful tradition. Since Mixquic is one of the most visited towns at this time of year, its streets get quite crowded. We also greatly appreciate your feedback, and we hope to see you again in Mexico.

A sublime experience
Our guide Howard was very nice but most of all, honest. He managed our expectations about how crowded Mixquic would be. The experience was sublime. Seeing all tbe locals’ devotion really touched my heart. Don’t miss it.
Response from the operator: Hello, good day! Thank you for your feedback regarding the Mixquic tour. We're so glad you enjoyed it and were able to experience one of Mexico's most beautiful traditions. We hope to see you soon in Mexico!

Overall cool to see, company very organized
To start we each received a cute Chocolate sugar skull gift and free face painting (although they did not have time for everyone, I would recommend they only offer 1-2 quick options in the future because they were getting really detailed with it). Our guide was very knowledgeable during the bus ride and organized at making sure we all made it back on the bus at the end, otherwise we only saw him for about 10 minutes. This place was packed to the brim and our guide made it very clear where to meet up if you lost him. To be completely honest there was no way not to lose him with a group size of 50+ in a crowd of 150,000+ people. The cemetery and main street are so full of people they will push on you and it's almost impossible to stop to see the graves or ask about the ofrendas. My main frustration is that we do not speak Spanish and were hoping to go into local homes and learn about real ofrendas with the guide's translation but totally lost him after just a few minutes. We did go into 1 home by ourselves and immediately got pick-pocketed. Overall, it was a once in a lifetime experience but in the future, we will look for a less "instagramy" location and try to find another "lighting of the cemetery" more off the beaten path or participate in less claustrophobic Day of the Dead experiences. This tour was great as a taxi service, but a small group tour is absolutely necessary to enjoy this experience.
Response from the operator: Hello, good day. I hope you are well. We greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the Mixqui tour, as it helps us improve the tour experience. We sincerely regret that the tour wasn't as enjoyable as you had hoped due to the issues you encountered. We will take note of your comments about the makeup application time and the group size. We are working to offer more personalized options and smaller group tours that allow you to experience the most authentic Day of the Dead traditions.

Short Notice Cancellation
3 hours before the tour, the operator called and informed that there was no seat available for us. We did not have time to rebook or find alternative. That completely ruined our vacation.
Response from the operator: Hello! Good day! We regret the situation that arose on the day of the activity. Unfortunately, we no longer had available spaces for the event. However, we have issued your corresponding refund. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2 cost?
+
Prices start at $42 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2 take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day of the Dead Event in Mixquic November 1 and 2 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
