Alan was an amazing tour guide. He got us into the show very quickly and explained the history and traditions of lucha libre in a way that made it even more enjoyable. After the show, he made sure we were in a safe place to order our Ubers. I would definitely recommend this tour, it was so much fun!

Great Experience to enjoy with the family! Our guide Alan is fun and very knowledgeable about the Lucha Libre and took the time to explain. Highly recommended if you are in CDMX

We were sat at almost the very back of the arena, you can get the same tickets yourself at almost 10% of the price of this tour. All the tour guide did was walking us in and showing us to our seats, and even so, there was a lot of confusion when entering the arena. We did get some lucha libre explanation, but only after the match, which didn't help us understand and appreciate it in the moment. With the same price, you can get first row tickets. Save the money and read up on the history on Wikipedia.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t meet your expectations.
We would like to clarify a few points for future guests. Before the event, we explained that the cultural and historical overview of lucha libre is intentionally provided after the matches. Arena México becomes extremely loud once the show begins, making it difficult for everyone to hear without interrupting the event. During the show, however, we were available at all times to answer any questions, and we personally responded to the questions your group asked throughout the evening , Additionally, during the experience, the guest chose to interact very little with the group and appeared to remain isolated for most of the tour. Despite this, our guide continued to check in periodically, remained available at all times, answered the questions they asked during the event, and provided assistance whenever needed. The level of engagement reflected in the review does not accurately represent the availability or quality of the service provided by our guide.
Regarding the seating, this was a special event with exceptional demand, and seat availability was determined by the arena. While the location of the seats can vary depending on the event, our experience is designed to include guided assistance, local context, support throughout the evening, and insights that go beyond simply purchasing a ticket.
We genuinely appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving the experience for future guests.

This was such a great experience! You get to know all the explanations from a local guide. Really well organized as well. Would recommend 100%

I recommend this experience for anyone willing to try a night out in the town surrounded by a rowdy bunch. It gets loud and it gets crazy. Some match may drag on and you can tell that its neatly choreographed but you can also see the talent and determination of the fighters to give the crowd the best possible show. If youre lucky, you get to see a drunk man run into the middle of the ring and see him be dragged away 🤣 or see the very last fight be held by the masters of the sports. Best part is to feel the passion of the crowd and it gives many people a great chance to do something new and exciting on a weekend.

It was a lot of fun! Our guide was great and it was fun to be a part of a Mexico City cultural experience.
Mahshad_A, Jul 2026
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.
Gabriel_G, Jun 2026
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.
Stephanie_C, Jun 2026
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!
Martha_T, May 2026
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!

A MUST experience when visiting Mexico City. Our guide was also so much fun! Such an impressive show and amazing energy.
Saurabh_G, Apr 2026
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!
Michelle_C, Apr 2026
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.
Melissa_E, Apr 2026

Alan was a great guide! He was animated and openly shared his love for Lucha Libre which was contagious. He gave a detailed history lesson as well which made the experience that much more enjoyable. He also gave great recommendations for other places to check out which we really appreciated. Thank you Alan!

It was sensational. Alan Arroyo was in the right place at the right time. It was agile and cordial. He provided the masks as combined and was always ready to answer any questions about the show. I highly recommend.

An exceptional evening from start to finish! The atmosphere is absolutely supercharged and Alan is a great and totally invested guide. We laugh, we applaud, we get carried away without even realizing it.
The organization is simple and fluid and communication is easy with Alan.
the show is incredibly energetic. Even without knowing the lucha libre, we have an unforgettable time.
An experience to live absolutely during your stay — atmosphere of madness guaranteed!
Alan is adorable and propels you into the atmosphere with his fervour and passion he helps you understand and will soak you in the atmosphere.
