It was a lot of fun! Our guide was great and it was fun to be a part of a Mexico City cultural experience.
Could have been better. I booked this tour because I wanted to learn more about wrestling and I expected the guide to explain the matches, the wrestlers and what was happening during the event. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. The place where we watched the wrestling was also very uncomfortable and I couldn’t stay until the end. The guide is nice and friendly.
This is a fun and interesting experience. I think you truly need a local to explain what it's all about, because there is a lot of yelling and screaming that is part of the show, people letting their emotions and frustrations out Ina safe environment. It's a show, and as such you have to see it for what it is, entertainment and an outlet! Our guide was awesome and it was fun. I would say that if you have young kids or adolescents, they may get bire quickly and not appreciate the experience as much.
We had an amazing time! Our guide (sorry I forgot his name) was so kind and he explained what was happening during parts of the event any member of our group needed clarification on. For anyone thinking of experiencing Lucho Libre, you will have the best time!
This experience was very fun! Our guide was exceptionally enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He helped bring life into the event. He taught us about the history of luchadors and provided valuable insight into the art. I would absolutely do this again!
Fantastic guide he was extremely informative & so helpful and made the Lucha Libre experience even more special we had such a fun night thanks to our wonderful guide Go Spidey!🕷️♥️💙xx
A MUST experience when visiting Mexico City. Our guide was also so much fun! Such an impressive show and amazing energy.
It’s an integral part of Mexican culture and you can experience it by the way the crowd responds to the competitors!! The noise! The arena! The moves!! It’s exhilarating!! The closer are you the arena better the experience is gonna be! But that does not mean you can’t enjoy from afar! The whole atmosphere is great!! There are vendors selling stuff at the seats so those who need to munch and drink can have that for a charge!! We were a group with people from India, Australia, Switzerland and Colombia… Our guide Alan’s enthusiasm was a bonus as it percolated to everyone and we all had a great time!! He also got us past the rush quickly to our seats and explained history as well! All in all 2.5 hours very well spent!
Well organized. Be prepared to go up a lot of stairs. The tour guide provided masks and a lot of information about the history of luchador.
Tour guide Alan was amazing, really knowledgeable about wrestling and it’s history. Definitely recommend going to a lucha fight in the city.
