I booked this identical tour with Get Your Guide and my guides did not turn up, so far no explanation. I cannot say much about the tour as it did not happen.

My husband and I went...
My husband and I went with David to multiple sites around Mexico City and learned about Santeria and Santa Muerte, which are two religions/faiths local to the area. We visited the Plaza de Tres Culturas, the Sonora Market, and a shrine to Santa Muerte in Tepito. I learned a lot! David, the trip leader, is originally from Venezuela and from a family that practices Santeria; he has many years of experience leading tours in Colombia before relocating to CDMX. I had little knowledge/background of either Santeria or Santa Muerte before the tour, and I learned a lot. It was easy to communicate with David before the tour over WhatsApp! I would not recommend going to Sonora Market or to Tepito without a guide. Be cautious in taking photos; there are no photos allowed in the animal market areas of Sonora Market.

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco cost?
+
Prices start at $700 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 Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 2 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 Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco?
+
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 Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco?
+
Around 1 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mysteries of Mexico: Santeria, Santa Muerte and Tlatelolco 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.
