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.)

We cannot recommend this tour highly enough! Gustavo did an amazing job teaching us about the political history of Mexico City, and we learned a lot from him. He is a super knowledgeable, personable, engaging guide. His tour is a highlight of our trip!

Charmi, was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all my questions. I found the content engaging and interesting. I was alone on the tour but felt comfortable.

This was a very informative tour, with a great and knowledgeable tour guide. You could tell she was passionate about what she does. she was also friendly and eager to answer any questions. I would 100% recommend this tour.

This was a great way to explore areas of Mexico City we would not have on our own. Gustavo is knowledgeable and has a passion for it. We recommend!
