Legendary Day of the Dead Night Show in Xochimilco
Description
Welcome to an ancestral tradition that is uniquely lived in the world. The experience starts from the designated meeting point towards Xochimilco "Place of Flowers". You will board a typical trajinera, a boat that will take you between the canals to an island where a pyramid emerges that brings to life the Show "La Llorona : The Longing for a Goodbye", an ancient legend that will take you from pre-Hispanic Mexico to the battle of colonization in a moving story of life and death. You will witness pre-Hispanic dances, millennial chants and give life to the oldest traditions from Mictlan – Place of the Dead, where we will remember all those souls who still whisper memories, experiences and legacy from another dimension to this enchanted land called Mexico. IMPORTANT NOTE - The show is only provided in Spanish, however this language will make you connect with the culture and witness the ancient traditions as a whole local.

So our plane landed a little late and we missed the original pick up point. However our tour guide gave me the exact location of where to meet and even stayed behind to make sure we got our tickets so we could experience Xochimilco during this special time. At the end of the event she was able to drop us off at the pick up point and gifted us a cute lil souvenir. Will definitely do this again!
It was a little chaotic with the other events happening that same day and the start time got bumped up. Other than that, the organizers were super friendly and helpful, the transportation excellent, and the experience was fun. Not scary as I expected, the show was more historical.
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the show. Unfortunately, there were quite a few events that day that caused some disruption. We'll take note of this to improve the quality and schedule so it's easier to carry out this activity.
Our driver was very nice and helpful. He got us to the show and made sure we had our tickets and knew where to go. The show itself was very interesting and beautiful and told the story of the people who lived in the area, building the canals that we were on. The canal ride itself is short, but very beautiful. I highly recommend this experience.
Hello, good day! Thank you so much for your feedback. We're glad you had a good experience and enjoyed the show, which showcased the history and beauty of the Xochimilco canals. We hope to see you again in Mexico!
I was told that pick up time was 5:30pm then they told me 6:00 they also switched the pick up location twice . Upon arriving to the location the guide wasn’t there , she got there late . They made us wait in the car with no ac , the tour guide her english was horrible ( thats acceptable tho) but her organization skills were very poor . She had to count how many people she had in the van like 3 times . she was unprofessional and never apologized or kept us communicated of what was going on. i took two other tours through viator and the guides were profesional and great communication skills.
Hello, good day. We greatly appreciate your feedback. We regret that the experience was not pleasant, and we are reviewing what happened to ensure it does not happen again in the future.
Late getting picked up. Was scheduled for a specific show and had to wait over 3 hours to get on a boat. Spent 8 hours when it stayed 5 hours total. Didn't get back to drop off location until after 3am. Kept being told 10 minutes. Unable to view show
We sincerely regret the inconvenience experienced during the activity. We understand how frustrating the delay in pickup and the long wait to board the trajinera must be. Thank you for your feedback; we will take note of it to improve the quality of our service.
