Queer & Feminist History Walking Tour:
The Untold Stories of Mexico City
Duration | Meeting Point | Pet Friendly | Activity Level |
3 Hours | Near Biblioteca | Yes! | Beginner |
Mexico is one of the most colorful countries in Latin America, with amazing food and impressive art, but its true power lies in the stories that history books usually ignore and the system tries to erase.
This is a deep dive into the B-Side of Mexico’s history. We’ll explore the layers of the city that go unnoticed unless someone points them out. From the gender fluidity of our indigenous roots to the fierce feminists, queer baddies, and indigenous activists who have fought hand-in-hand for equality.
What to expect
Think of this as a long walk with a friend who knows all the secrets that lie underneath the concrete. We’re not here for a dry history lesson or to memorize dates and buildings… we’re here for the gossip!
We’ll dive into the bold and sometimes heartbreaking stories that the official history books decided aren’t important enough to mention:
- The hidden lives of national icons whose official biographies conveniently leave out the best parts.
- How history has spent centuries trying to bury the achievements of marginalized communities.
- The scandalous Dance of the 41, the courage of the Muxes, and the messy reality of resistance that defines our country today.
The Journey
- We’ll wander through Colonia Guerrero’s local highlights, stroll through Parque Alameda and Bellas Artes, walk past grand monuments, and visit the city’s queer corridors.
- We’ll end our journey at Plaza Santo Domingo to wrap it all up with a different perspective of the city.
If you’re a solo traveler, a couple, part of the community, or an ally eager to learn and you want to explore the city feeling totally seen and safe, this is the experience for you.

Since MxCity for the Girls, Gays & They’s is a small, woman-led business, I personally manage all bookings, calendars, and tour confirmations. This keeps everything warm, human, and flexible, but it also means the easiest way to reserve your spot is to book directly with me.
For direct bookings:
- Send me a quick message on WhatsApp and I’ll confirm availability for your date.
- Once you’re ready to lock in your spot, I’ll send a secure payment link. We currently accept: MercadoPago, Wise, Stripe, Revolut, and PayPal. If you prefer a specific method, just let me know, we can adapt.
Book through a platform:
I know there’s a lot of debate when it comes to third-party booking platforms, I always recommend Exploring Not Boring, since they’re also a community-led small business and align with our values. You can also find some of my tours on WithLocals and Airbnb Experiences, but please keep in mind that these platforms take large commissions and often overcharge customers, so prices there are higher.
No matter how you book, your spot is safe, but booking directly helps support queer-led, ethical tourism in Mexico City.
No worries! We know that planning a trip or trying something new can feel overwhelming. If you’re unsure about anything, just reach out, we’re happy to answer your questions before you book. Send us a quick message on WhatsApp and we’ll help you out.
