Really enjoyed the tour. Very informative. Fascinating history. Jimena was fantastic, engaging and very informative with facts but also with all the urban legends surrounding to mausoleums she took us to. Thank you

Great experience!
cherylhX1313GZ, October 2026
Jimena spoke English very well, told us entertaining stories about some of the deceased in the mausoleums, and pointed out interesting features of the structures themselves. Highly recommend.

Good tour worth going to the cemetery
Saira_D, October 2026
Our guide was very good she showed up on time even though the weather was very bad, we went around the cemetery during a storing which made it extra special, we did get the voice the change out time because of the weather but we could not change so we appreciated that the tour still went ahead

The cemetery alone is...
Melissa_R, October 2026
The cemetery alone is worth visiting, but our guide Victoria is an excellent storyteller. We learned so much from the tour that we would not have known through a self-guided tour.
★★★★★ Tripadvisor review
What a Phenomenal Experience!
MrCrusoe, October 2026
My brother and I ended up making a mistake in going through the cemetery alone with the tickets we bought (that should have been used to walk through the grounds with our tour group). Our guide sorted the confusion out with the museum personnel, and gave us vivid insights into the rich history (and urban legends) of the cemetery to boot. I would recommend this to anyone!
