So fun and so memorable! Highly recommended. We enjoyed the mezcal tasting and the Lucha Libre! Arturo was an amazing guide and shared a lot of history of the sport in a very entertaining way. The tour operator also made everything very easy with clear communications about meeting points via Whatsapp, and Arturo took great care of everyone at the end of the evening, patiently making sure everyone got to their Uber.

The stories from Arturo...

Sommer_G, May 2023

The stories from Arturo and the wrestling match. Be prepared to walk and don’t bring anything to the match that can be thrown as they will not allow you to bring it in

Fun, informative and exciting. Such a spectacle.

Jeremy_B, Apr 2023

Such a well organised experience, the mezcal tasting was brilliant, we learned lots and Arturo was so friendly and professional. Such a brilliant experience and great to understand the sport. Can't rate this higher.

A night packed with fun and adventure

Debra_W, Apr 2023

Arturo is a fantastic guide. We had a bit of a large group, and he managed it well. The Mezcal tasting was fun as well as the public transportation he chose to take rather than walk since the tasting turned out to be more fun than expected ;-). The wrestling match was great until it got really crowded and couldn’t see the ring anymore so we left early.

Great guide! Super fun. Highly recommend!

Risa_F, Apr 2023

This was such a fun experience. We were worried that we would end up just being left alone after we entered the arena but Arturo actually sat with us and explained things! also this tour allowed us into the arena through a secret back entrance! At the end of the show he took us to a place where we can all be picked up properly without the crowd and waited until everyone was picked up by their Ubers. Arturo was excellent. He was very animated and fun to listen to. His personal experiences also helped make things truly fun to listen to. Highly recommend this tour!!! Especially with Arturo!

Worst Tour Ever

RADBEAR58, Apr 2023

Worst Tour EVER!!!!! To say “moderate “walking is a HUGE understatement. Too much walking and walking and walking . Food with the mezcal was tasteless and minimally seasoned. Overall a waste of money and time.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Michael, moderate walking (for a walking tours company) is not even close to the characteristic of this tour. The group walks just less than one mile (anyone can verify distance between the mezcaleria and the arena before book), and with no stairs or inclination variations, and at a slow pace (as the guide stops along the way). It is important to read the tour description before you book or contact us if you have any questions. We suggest comfortable walking shoes, and we are sorry if you have walking issues, but this haven’t stop anyone before to have a good time. Also, it is very important to note that anywhere within the tour description it says that food is included. Aside from the guacamole, we do not offer any kind of food during the tour. It may be important to read complete descriptions for any tour you book anywhere in the world. Your friend – who actually stayed to the end of the night – said that he enjoyed the experience and didn’t have any complains at the time. He didn’t waste any time as apparently, he was having fun. It is sad that you don’t acknowledge the previous work we do to contact you, the effort and expertise from the guide, the mezcal tasting, the location of the seats inside the venue, and the work of the guide until everyone grabs a car to return home. Still, we will tell everyone that we walk for a mile, so anyone can be prepared.

Arturo is the BEST

Rachel_H, Mar 2023

This was such a cool experience. Arturo is so entertaining and very knowledgeable! Definitely recommend to anyone who is coming to Mexico City! A highlight of our trip for sure!

Great night in historico.

Matthew_B, Mar 2023

All i can say is thatbis a was a great evening. Lots of good vibes, great people, great mescal and crazy entertainment. Not into wrestling but this was hella fun!

Highlight of an already great trip

Henry_B, Mar 2023

Arthur was the perfect guide. A former luchador himself, he shared not just the history and cultural impact, but also what it’s like to be in the ring. This was a perfect experience and memory.

Most fun in CDMX!!

Doris_A, Mar 2023

This was a wonderful authentic traditional Mexican experience! Loads of fun and our tour guide Arturo was excellent. He gave us a brief history and made all of it very entertaining!

Don’t Leave Mexico City Without It!!

Maureen_A, Feb 2023

An outstanding guide who was knowledgeable, funny and involved everyone in the group. The activities were well planned to ensure participants got the most from the experience. It was the most fun we have had in week visiting Mexico City. This company proves you can have an educational, cross cultural experience while thoroughly enjoying your self. It’s a must in my book for all ages. My family’s ages are 74, 38, and 33.

Arturo, Mezcal, and a fantastic experience.

Abdul_D, Feb 2023

Arturo was our guide and he was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable, brought great energy, and was a ton of fun. The mezcal was great, perfectly proportioned so you can fully enjoy each mezcal, and Arturo brought the information and insight, and was the perfect guide. We had to leave the wrestling match before the end due to another reservation, but I would definitely recommend this tour and would repeat it myself.

Prefect way to experience Lucha Libre!

Elyssa_S, Feb 2023

My boyfriend and I had a great time on this tour! Our guide, Arturo, was fun, funny and knowledgable. It was great to learn about the sport from a local and ex Luchador. We learned a lot we would not have known had we just gone to watch without a guide. Of course, the mezcal tasting was a great addition to the tour and a wonderful way to start it off! We not only got a generous amount to taste, we also learned some facts about mezcal as we tasted. I would recommend this to anyone new to the city and to Lucha Libre!

Hella fun

Yael_M, Feb 2023

Arturo was a delight. Learned a lot about lucha libre but also had a good amount to drink and a lot of fun shouting at the match. The souvenir masks are so cool! This was our last night of our CDMX trip and a great way to spend it

Luchaaaa libreee

Ashish_A, Jan 2023

The mezcal was delicious and it was a blast yelling at the match. The tour guide was an absolute gem as well. He did a great job of hosting the group and even took us to his favorite taco spot after!

Arturo was a great guide!

Samanth_R, Jan 2023

We all had a blast trying mezcal and the entire Luche libre experience! Also had a great suggestion for tacos afterwards!

Surpassed expectations....

Michael_M, Jan 2023

Surpassed expectations. Arturo was first-rate. Very enjoyable evening. Recommend it to everyone. Both educational and entertaining.

Awesome!

Laurie_R, Dec 2022

Arturo was amazing! Wonderful experience! The mescal tasting was a great way to begin my understanding of this National drink!

Highly recommend!

Linda_S, Dec 2022

Highly recommend this tour -- super fun and engaging from beginning to end! Andres was a spectacular guide; he was so friendly and shared interesting personal experiences as a former luchador. We were given a great primer on the rules so could enjoy the matches more. Andres also gave us each a high quality mask! The mezcal tasting was also informative and delicious, and the guacamole and chips were a perfect accompanyment.

Amazing Experience! 100% recommend!

Helen_D, Nov 2022

Amazing experience and great tour! Our Tour Guide Arturo was amazing, as a ex pro wrestler he was able to answer all our questions and still keep it as a really fun night out! Could recommend it more!

So much fun, great experience for the whole family

Irene_G, Nov 2022

Fantastic experience all around. Arturo gave great insights during a short walking tour, made it fun for the kids too, and the mezcal tasting was at a cute and cool location. Very glad we did the tour rather than buy Lucha Libre tickets on our own bc Arturo added so much information and made us feel very safe and comfortable, even waiting with us til our Uber arrived at the end of the night.

A must do, great time. in Mexico City

Ray_T, Nov 2022

It was an amazing tour with a professional luchador! We're doing it again the next time we're in Mexico City!

Great time!

Brandon_H, Nov 2022

Was a great time, Arturo was very knowledgeable about lucha libre and was a great host. The lucha libre experience was great!

The other reviews are right!

Rachel_M, Nov 2022

Arturo is an amazing tour guide! The 15-person group had so much fun at the tastings and show. There is some walking around Mexico City, but it was a safe environment, and the tour guide even stays with people as they wait for transit at the end. I would absolutely recommend this tour, as I've never enjoyed mezcal or wrestling nearly this much before.

Mezcal and wrestling

Joel_K, Nov 2022

Getting to watch a real match with an Ex-Lucha was so unique and exciting. The mezcal tasting was more of a learning experience that I happily did not expect. It was a great time.

Fun, immersive, great time for all!

Elizabeth_H, Oct 2022

We had such a wonderful time. Arturo was a great guide, and it was a fantastic introduction to lucha libre.

Everything we hoped for and more!

Chris_B, Sep 2022

I’m a wrestling fan, my wife is not, and we both had a great time! Arturo took great care of everyone in the group, and was enthusiastic and educational. He also helped me get some great lucha t-shirts afterwards, which I really appreciated.

Great experience overall!

Felix_Y, Jun 2022

Every aspect of the tour was really great, the guide Arturo was very knowledgable, Mezcal tasting got people pretty buzzed, and the show was fun to watch! Definitely worth experiencing for your trip in Mexico City.

Definitely recommend

Luke_R, May 2022

This was a really fun experience. Our tour guide was great (I think his name was Andreas?). Mezcal tasting was cool and the Lucha Libre match was a really fun event as a first timer to Mexico City.

Fun and informative!

Merissa_M, Apr 2022

Arturo is awesome! He has such positive energy and tons of knowledge about Lucha Libra and Mezcal :) We really enjoyed our tour. I already recommended this tour to a friend who will be visiting CDMX in a couple months. Thanks, Arturo!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Thank you! We really appreciate your nice comments. We are happy that you enjoyed the Lucha Libre Experience, and of course, the mezcal tasting ¡Gracias!
