TourLucha Libre ExperienceMexico’s #1 LUCHA LIBRE EXPERIENCE!AirBnB$212.320You will have a tasty and fun night that you can only experience in Mexico City with local friends.

We will start by tasting mouthwatering tacos in one of our favorites taquerias, then we will go have some beer and great mezcal.

While we wash down the tacos, we will introduce you to the history and nuances of lucha libre—professional Mexican wrestling. We'll then head to the arena for a fantastic night of lucha libre!

At the arena, we’ll catch the main two or three fights. The first few matches are amateur, and in our experience, arriving too early can make the show feel like it drags on. But don’t worry—we’ll make sure you’re there for the best action.

Other things to noteTickets, food, and drinks before the show are included — all you need to do is enjoy. Tipping is a custom in Mexico. While not mandatory, it’s a great way to show appreciation if you feel your guide met or exceeded your expectations.

On Sundays we will start at 15:30 in Roma Norte.

We had a super-full, super-fun day today. \n\n

First we got acquainted with the Mexico City transit system and ended up in Centro Historico where we got a closer look at the archaeological site of Templo Mayor. \n\n

We then made our way down to Roma Norte where we met up with our tour group to have some beer and tacos, and attend a Lucha Libre wrestling match, which was delightfully over-the-top. \n\n

We then came back to our part of town and had a final beer at Plaza Garibaldi, which is absolutely crawling with mariachi bands. The folks at the next table hired three different mariachi bands to play songs for them while we had our beers.
