The experience was so much fun, the mezcal was delicious the tour and the event was more than we expected! It could not have been the same if it wasn’t for Arturo our guide, he shared so many interesting facts and had the most pleasant attitude. Our family had an amazing time we lived the masks and the others we met at the tour. Unforgettable experience, thank you Arturo! ⚾️👹🇲🇽👨🏼👨🏿
Fantastic evening with guide Arturo and fellow fans. The mezcal tasting was a fun way to start the night and non drinkers have options as well (the hot chocolate was delicious!). Arturo provides great background on lucha libre on the walk to the stadium so we felt very prepared once we arrived and saw the matches. The arena atmosphere was so much fun - great way to spend a few hours in Mexico City!
Arturo was great! High energy and had a lot of knowledge! High energy! Highly recommend for a fun night!!
Excellent experience, Arturo has very good energy and this tour is highly recommended, from the mezcal tasting, the walk, and the history that he tells super well, and closing with the lucha libre experience and the passion that is felt is highly recommended, our son loved it.
We had a wonderful time. Arturo was personable and knowledgeable. He gave us great insights about Mescal and about Lucha Libre. We had 3 in our group who had been on other Lucha tours and the masks we received were better quality then they had gotten in the past.
Our guide was very informative and fun. My family had a wonderful time. A must do in Mexico city. Highly recommended
Seriously, if you are going to do one thing in Mexico City, make it this Lucha Libre experience and make sure you get Arturo as your guide. The man knows everything about Lucha Libre. The history, the fighters, the traditions, the culture. He shared it all in a way that was genuinely fun and easy to follow, and our whole group was totally hooked from start to finish. The mezcal tasting was such a great touch. Arturo and the team took us through each one and explained where it came from, how it was made, and what to look for in the flavor. It felt like learning from someone who truly loves what he does, not just running through a script. Our kids had an absolute blast. Arturo was so warm and patient with them and made sure they were part of the whole experience. Watching their faces light up in that arena was one of those moments you just do not forget. If you are on the fence, just book it. We could not recommend Arturo and this tour more highly 🎉
So much fun! I am not at all into watching wrestling, but this was such a great experience. Arturo, a former wrestler, was a fantastic guide and gave us lots of background information about Luche Libre. Before the wrestling matches: - tour starts of tasting different types of mezcal (with some snacks)--there is non-alcoholic drinks available for kids or those who don't drink alcohol - we spent about 45 min. - 1 hr. at the mezcal tasting place at a sit-down table, so you can rest your feet. - bathrooms available at the tasting place - we walked around and paused occasionally for short stints so Arturo could give us more information - we got to choose a lucha libre mask At the arena: - Arturo took us through a secondary entrance, so we avoided crowds completely - due to our timing, we got to take a photo with one of the wrestlers who was in this area - our seats were great! We had such a nice view and were close to bathrooms and the snack bar During the matches: - gotta love the crowd here--very enthusiastic Afterwards: - Again, Arturo took us through an exit that others were not going through, and found us an easy spot right by the arena to call an Uber. - He waited until the last person got picked up by an Uber to ensure our safety. Overall: - Totally worth taking this tour and learning about the history of Lucha Libre!
Arturo was such an amazing host and this night was one of the highlights of our trip. He had tons of insight as an ex luchador and made sure all of us had a great time!
If I could give this tour 6 stars, I would! My friend & I booked this on a whim and it turned out to be our favorite activity of the trip! Arturo was absolutely the best— engaging, informative, funny, & organized. His personal experience in lucha libre was such a cool perspective. He also gave us some great food recommendations and stayed with us until our ride came to pick us up after the event. I didn’t know anything about lucha libre before this tour, and we left feeling so impressed with the history & athleticism of the sport. If you’re on the fence about this experience, just book it. You won’t regret it.
