The 5 Best Day of the Dead Tours in Oaxaca

5 reviewed

At the turn of November the city fills with cempasuchil, the panteones stay lit all night and the comparsas wind through the streets until morning. These are the best ways to be part of it, with a guide who can explain what each altar and each procession is for: which visit the village cemeteries, which stay in the city, what each costs, and how far ahead they need booking.

Oaxaca: Legends Tour Mezcalbús - Price and value: paying $8 for a guided orientation

2.Legends Tour Mezcalbús

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 34 reviews · 1 hour · from $8Best value

A one-hour Oaxaca Legends Tour by Mezcalbús with Spanish storytelling, downtown stops, and lookout views—great value for a quick city orientation.

“Upon the eve of my booking I was met with great anticipation only to be gravely disappointed. Upon arrival to the “Mezcal bus” we were presented with a ghastly sight! The “Mezcal bus” had been decapitated, it resembled a poo tank. Unbeknownst to my good self, the Mezcal tasting appeared to be consumed by the host as no Mezcal touched my lips, not even a thimble. This bus was as dry as my mouth (lack of Mezcal). I suggest a hip flask.”
