5 Hours Guided Day of The Dead Evening Walking Tour in Oaxaca

Crystal_S, Nov 2025

Julio Brought Oaxaca (and the Walking Dead) to Life!

I took the 5-hour Walking Dead walking tour in Oaxaca, and it completely exceeded my expectations — mostly thanks to our amazing guide, Julio. From the very beginning, Julio’s energy and storytelling drew everyone in. He blended the eerie, post-apocalyptic vibe of The Walking Dead with the rich history and colorful streets of Oaxaca in such a creative way. It wasn’t just a fan tour — it was like stepping into an alternate version of the city where culture, folklore, and TV magic met. Julio was incredibly knowledgeable, not only about the show but also about local landmarks, Oaxacan traditions, and even some fun behind-the-scenes facts about how certain scenes could have played out if they were filmed here. He kept the group laughing, engaged, and moving at a comfortable pace. He also went above and beyond to make sure everyone was having a great time — offering photo stops, sharing great local snack tips, and pointing out hidden gems along the way. If you’re a Walking Dead fan (or just someone who loves unique, creative tours), this experience is a must-do in Oaxaca. Julio truly made it unforgettable — funny, spooky, and full of local charm.
