Highlights
- Palacio de Bellas Artes - Our unique Mexico City tour (say that ten times fast!) starts at a typical Mexican pub called a cantina. Here, you’ll enjoy a couple drinks (at your own expense) and get to know the rest of the travelers on your tour. Most importantly, though, your local Urban Adventures guide will give you a briefing of what’s in store for the rest of the evening, including the basic rules of the eccentric lucha libre.
As we drink, you’ll learn about the story of tequila and mezcal, and your guide will get you up to date on Mexico’s world famous party culture, from mariachis and jarochos to banda music.

My best night in Mexico City - This tour was the highlight of an incredible trip to Mexico City! I had so much fun at every step of the way — the tequila and mezcal tasting, listening to mariachi at the cantina, and of course at the Lucha Libre fight. Adriana was the best guide I could have asked for. I learned a lot and had a blast!

The Most Fun Tour You'll Ever Have - I had very high expectations for this tour, but even those were exceeded. We had a few people and we became fast friends. It was truly an unforgettable night our hosts were very passionate and knowledgable about lucha and. We had great seats and it's truly something that makes you feel like a true local. I would take this tour/experience again in a heartbeat!

Jacinto was a great guide - I did this tour last night, led by Jacinto. He was awesome. He has a passion for Lucha Libre and a lot of fun to be around. He schooled us on how to identify good tequila, taught us about mariachi, and yelled his head off at Lucha Libre.

So much Fun! - Tour was amazing. The Wrestling is truly something special. A MUST DO for sure. We had some hiccups on our tours with a few of the guests not bothering to stay with the group and we were constantly waiting for them, but this was definitely not the fault of the guide, who did a fantastic job!! Definitely will recommend this to anyone and everyone!

Frenetic, colorful, (sometimes foul-mouthed) fun! - Between the delightfully raucous luchadores and surreal swarms of mariachis, it's hard to tell who was more entertaining. But it was probably our tour guide, Adriana. She was energetic, attentive, and seemed to be having the most fun out of all of us.
Adriana taught us "authentic" Mexican jeers to shout during the lucha libre matches and provided some interesting backstory on the life of a mariachi. Plus, she showed us how to navigate CDMX's subway system. (Which was very useful later in the week.) Her quick thinking and local connections saved the day on our way to dinner. She even put a fun and engaging twist on our mezcal/tequila tasting.
This tour neatly groups together several experiences that on their own could be hard to access or efficiently coordinate. You probably wouldn't want a wrestling match to be the only plan you make for the night, for example. It's a well-paced couple of hours where you won't feel bored and won't get overwhelmed.

Lucha Libre - Our guide was Julio. What a guy! He knows all the history of tequila and mezcal and a mad fan of the lucha Libre he tries to go once a week he told us and his favourite lucha Libre hero won on the night which was a bonus he walked us through the city and we didn’t feel unsafe at all while under his supervision even on the subway. If you have time I definitely recommend this tour as it gives you a tasting of tequilas and mezcal.

Wrestling and drink look no further - Having been a life long fan of lucha libre and tequila this was right up our street. The night started with a tip to the tequila and mezqal museum followed by a tasting of both drinks. A small walk over to a cantina followed where we listened to live mariachi music and more drinks before heading off to the arena, the lucha libre is somthing completely different to what you see on the tv and the crowd really added another level to spectacle of what brilliance was in the ring that night our guide for the tour was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about all parts of the evening especially the wrestling. Why i rated 4 out of 5 was only because the tickets had said the end point was the same as the pick-up, leading us to assume we would be taken back together, we were not stranded at the arena however our guide ordered us and uber which unfortunately did not show, but there was plenty of pink and white official taxis outside the arena to get us back home

IT IS A SCAM - DO NOT BOOK - This is a SCAM. DO NOT BOOK. We waited at the meeting point for several minutes, we even ate at the departure point hoping we’d see a group come in and no one was there. I’m really disappointed and more upset we lost money to this.
