10/10 would reccommend
Alex is an actual fan of Luche Libre you can tell by how enthusiastic he is in explaining the culture and how he interacts with the actual match. He was very informative , patient and attentive. He ensured I was comfortable and overall had fun. If this is your first time at a Luche match you can book him. I went on a Sunday which was less hectic. but still fun. Ithis was a low cost fun entry into Mexican wrestling and definitely worth the price! he even gave me a mask :D

5 Star Lucha Libre Experience
Allen is a great guide very knowledgeable and passionate about lucha libre. We would not have been able to navigate the chaos of getting to the arena and finding our seats without him.

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.
Operator response
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.

I recommend this...
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.
