Anyone interested in politics and history should take this tour! An excellent view into current issues facing Mexico City and a chance to see parts of the city outside of typical tourist areas. Gustavo was a wonderful guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this tour!

This afternoon we met up with a local political scientist and journalist named Lila. We walked all around the city with her as she explained the history of Argentina, focusing mostly on the past hundred years but reaching further back when needed for context. She spoke impeccable English and had an incredible depth of knowledge about history, politics, economics, and social issues. She helped us understand not only Buenos Aires and Argentina, but also how the country fits into the larger global picture.We gained so much perspective from her, including insight into how current hyperinflation and austerity measures under President Milei affect her personally. We also learned about the structure of Argentina’s government, its political parties, and the ways they are similar to and differ meaningfully from our own system.It was a fascinating and meaningful part of our time in Buenos Aires, and we all came away seeing the city through a more informed and thoughtful lens.

Best tour in Mexico City! Thank you Gustavo. We highly recommend this!

A great tour to get some more insight about the contemporary Jakarta/Indonesia. Wouldn’t have wanted to miss it. Thx, Mar’ie!

This is our second planet wonk tour. After a mind blowing tour in Athens, Greece, we jumped on the chance to have the opportunity to learn about Mexico City and all its complexities. I was not disappointed. As always, the host expertly weaved the relevant history of Mexico city, including its pre-Hispanic history, with contemporary social and political issues and how Mexicans of CDMX see themselves within this context. Gustavo was phenomenal in his knowledge and ability to provide an objective analysis of the sociopolitical climate in CDMX while also bringing in his personal experience as a native of the city. We were brought to places we would never have been on our own, and we felt priveleged to get a glimpse into the fascinating city and its people beyond the superficial tourist lens. It was, again, a highlight of our trip. If you, like us, travel to experience a culture, history and perspective different from your own, these tours are a must. Highly recommend!!!
