what is the best way to get a guide for the Day of the Dead celebrations. Will be staying in a hotel in Patzcuaro and feel we would learn and see a lot more with a bilingual guide

That is the busiest time of the year in Patz. You need to set up a guide now or you won't find one. The hotel should be able to arrange that for you, but DO NOT hesitate.

He's not kidding, you might already be too late.
Tried to arrive in Patzcuaro about 3PM on October 31 (mechanical issues delayed us). It was literally gridlock, starting well before the turn off to Quiroga coming from the east.
Arrive early, park, and don't drive again! We did find that crowds were very light in the mornings, and things start opening about 10AM.
It is wonderful and very worthwhile.
