Additional Information

The Day of the Dead is one of the most important celebrations in Mexico City and one of the best places to experience this traditional festival is the magical neighborhood of Xochimilco.

The Experience begins at one of the main docks of Xochimilco, where our staff will guide you to our “Trajinera”, a typical Mexican boat decorated with flowers and colored lights (2 hours tour). Once on board, you will drink a Cantarito (a typical Mexican cocktail made with Mezcal) and you will be able to enjoy tamales, enchiladas, quesadillas and much more, from our delicious buffet.

You will also have a Mezcal tasting, guided by our experts, where you will learn about the basics of this spirit beverage and you´ll try different pairings; each one selected to highlight the flavor of the agaves and the unique ingredients.

Live the tradition of the Day of the Dead in a night full of flavor, mysticism and fun!

PS: It is a themed Dinner and Party, you can come with costume o makeup!

Embarcadero Nativitas Zacapa
We will meet at the entrance arch of the Zacapa pier, where our crew will be waiting to help you board the boat. https://g.co/kgs/yX5bscJ Carretera Nativas Tulyehualco-Xochimilco s/n, Santa María Nativitas, 16450 Ciudad de México, CDMX

Eh! - The guide and included transportation were nice. I’ve done regular Xochimilco and it was better. I expected to see more light displays as pictured in the ad. Also, I could hear/understand the Catrina and I’m bilingual. For the price, I expected so much more. The food was delicious. Overall, pretty disappointing.

Confused and disorganized - I hate to write this because the people were so nice and they were trying. We got thru dinner fine. After that we just sat in the boat doing nothing. It was uncoordinated and confused. Every so often they’d move it but then nothing. We sat so long every other boat left. That’s when they finally started the show which was akin to ghost stories around the campfire. I reached down to get my bag only to discover the boat had taken on water and my belongings were soaked. By the time we got back to shore the toilets were locked. There was congestion on the drive back and people were literally bailing out in the middle of the city to make their way back themselves. I spent the last 3 hours of the night wishing I hadn’t booked the tour.
