Overview

Walk through Mexico City as it blooms with marigolds and memory.
This is not just a Day of the Dead tour — it’s a journey through stories, rituals, and the echoes of the underworld.

From the grand altars of the Zócalo to the hidden corners of the old city, you’ll explore how Mexicans have danced with death for centuries — with humor, beauty, and defiance.
Led by an actor and storyteller, Gossip with the Dead blends theatre, history, and sociology to reveal how the living keep company with the dead — and how every offering tells a story about who we are.

What to expect

  1. Palacio de Bellas Artes
    10m · Admission ticket not included
    Where marble meets myth. The perfect threshold — between beauty, decay, and the ghosts of modern Mexico
  2. Alameda Central
    20m
    Once a colonial park of executions and gossip, now a garden haunted by lovers, shadows, and memories buried beneath the trees.
  3. House of Tiles
    15m
    Behind its perfect blue façade, whispers of pride, scandal, and death. A mirror of Mexico’s elegant contradictions.
  4. Hospital de Jesus Nazareno
    10m
    A place that once confined madness, desire, and rebellion. Its walls still hum with the stories of those who refused to behave.
  5. Museo del Templo Mayor
    15m
    Beneath the stones, blood and ceremony. The heart of the ancient city still beats, quietly, under the asphalt.
  6. Catedral Metropolitana de la Ciudad de Mexico
    20m
    Built on the ruins of an empire, it trembles slightly — as if remembering. Faith, conquest, and superstition share the same altar here.
  7. Plaza de Santo Domingo
    20m
    Square of falsified miracles and printed lies. Still echoing with the hum of the printers, the gossipers, and the forgotten saints of the city.
