Mexico Social and Political Tour
Panoramica del tour
From revolutionaries like Pancho Villa to beloved presidents like Benito Juarez, Mexican political figures are known for their larger-than-life personalities and dramatic speeches.
Of course, like any good telenovela, Mexican politics also has its fair share of scandals and controversies. From corruption scandals to drug cartel wars, there's always something interesting going on in the world of Mexican politics.
This interactive storytelling walk is meant to have the flow and information-heavy experience of a documentary. It takes us into a comprehensive analysis, providing surprising answers.
It highlights Mexico's social and political elements, from the creation of the Mexican state to modern times. We’ll address both historical and current events from a balanced & non-biased point of view to help you determine your opinions of this land for yourself.
The experience is aimed at people with a genuine interest in politics and those keen to learn more about the situation in Mexico by conducting some first-hand research.

Recensioni dei clienti
We loved the tour. It was very informative and well organized. Gustavo also answered all our questions and provided additional information.
Gustavo's tour was fascinating, full of surprising information, well organized, friendly and presented in the most entertaining way. We had a variety of interests, from political theory to the revolutionary period, to archaeology, to the 1968 student movement, to environmental issues, and Gustavo had interesting things to say about all of them. And in addition to showing us classical sites of Mexican history, he also showed us sites in the Merced Market that illustrate historical and current political struggles. Fantastic tour!
Gustavo did a tremendous job as our tour guide, providing us great insights and context regarding Mexico's historical, political, economic and sociological evolution. He masterfully tied together the many strands into a compelling narrative. I highly recommend this tour.
This tour takes you behind the scenes of the social/ political history of Mexico City. Learn about the city government and political parties and social movements that have shaped the city. See parts of the Centro Historico not normally suggested to tourists. Gustavo is very knowledgeable and generous with his time. Highly recommended.
We took the Social/Political Tour given by Gustavo in January 2026. Gustavo was very knowledgeable, had a binder with extra, supporting information, and was really well-organized (including planned bathroom breaks). The tour really helped us to see beyond the surface, as it touched on issues of political structure and conflict, immigration and internal migration, and the question of how to deal with the sinking city. A good chunk of the tour focused on Mercado Merced (but not on the food). We returned the next day for a food tour there and had zero overlap in our experience. Rather, the information we had received from Gustavo allowed us to more deeply understand this vibrant institution. If you have any interest in the complex society that is Mexico today, I urge you to take this tour with Gustavo. (And be sure to ask about Casa Nela- a fantastic Oaxacan restaurant he alerted us to.)
