The tour we booked, El Taco Club's Tacos, Beer & Lucha, is still the one we would recommend: tacos, beer or mezcal, a guide who teaches you the chants, and your seat at Arena México. It is rated 4.9 from over 2,000 reviews and costs from £73 a person; the cheapest tour here starts at about £41.

You will get more out of the night with someone to explain who is who, food and mezcal beforehand and a group to go with. It is what we did.

You will save £50 or more each. Buy at the box office on the night (or Ticketmaster for Friday ringside) and take an Uber door to door.

Every tour below includes a ticket for the show. What changes is the food and drink, who leads it, and whether they collect you. Ours was in 2023, when it also included a mask and transport to the arena; today's listing promises a surprise souvenir instead.

What our tour was like
We met the group, about 14 of us, at Los Huarachines in Roma Norte for tacos al pastor. Then a mezcal tasting, with a short history lesson and a run-through of the wrestlers on the card and the chants to shout. Everyone got a mask to keep. Transport took us to Arena México, the last match finished around 11pm, and we walked back to Roma Norte as a group.
That is the real value of a tour: you know who the rudos are before the first bell, you have eaten well, and you never have to work out how to get out of Doctores with 16,000 other people.
Is a lucha libre tour worth it?
Yes, on your first visit. A tour costs more than a ticket, but it buys you context, food, drinks and company in a neighbourhood you would not want to wander alone.
If you have been before, speak some Spanish or are on a tight budget, buy a ticket instead. The show is exactly the same. How to buy tickets yourself
| Tour | Tickets only | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | From £41 (ours from £73) | £4–£27 |
| Seat | Often close to the ring | Your choice |
| Food and drink | Included | Arrange your own |
| Getting there and back | As a group, or hotel pickup on some tours | Uber or DiDi |
| Context | A guide explains it | Work it out |
How to choose a tour
- Check the night. Most run on show nights at Arena México; some switch to Arena Coliseo on Saturdays.
- Check what the ticket is. Ringside costs more; some tours use cheaper seats to keep the price down.
- Check the pickup. If you are staying outside Roma or Condesa, a tour with hotel pickup saves a long ride.
- Check age rules. Some tours take children with a soft-drink option; others are adults only. With kids, the Sunday family show is the easiest night.
Tour questions
Is it better to book a tour or buy tickets myself?
Buy tickets yourself if you speak a little Spanish and are happy to take an Uber there and back. Book a tour if it is your first time in Mexico City, you want everything arranged, or you would rather not go to Doctores at night on your own.
