How it works
01
We meet at Taquería El Caifán, in Colonia Centro or the Centro Histórico depending on the arena. Two tacos or quesadillas and a drink while I walk you through the history, the rules and why the mask matters.
02
To Arena México we ride the Metrobús, the city's rapid bus line, the way local fans do. To Arena Coliseo it is a five minute walk through the Centro Histórico.
03
About two hours of lucha libre from the ringside section. I explain what happens in the ring and what the crowd is shouting.
04
When the show ends I walk the group to a quiet pickup point and stay until everyone is on their way.
What's included
Tickets in the ringside section for the full CMLL card. Exact location depends on availability and the event.
Two tacos or quesadillas and one drink per person: beer, water or soda.
An authentic mask for every guest, kids included, to take home.
English and Spanish all night, from the first taco to the last match.
Metrobús to Arena México or a short walk to Arena Coliseo, and a safe departure after the show.
Not included: transport to the meeting point or from the arena to your hotel. I'm happy to recommend a trusted driver.

Reviews

“We thought about just buying tickets to the show without the guide, but Alexis made the experience SO much better. We had amazing seats, and Alexis explained all of the history and context for each match which made it more engaging.”

“10/10 would recommend taking this guided journey into the Lucha Libre world with Alexis. He was a super knowledgeable guide and easily gave us all the essentials / background history of the Mexican Lucha Libre roots.”

Plan a private group
Is it safe?
Yes. I'm with the group from the taquería to the end of the night, the route is the one local fans use, and after the show I walk everyone to a quiet pickup point and wait until you're on your way.
Do I need to speak Spanish?
No. I host in English and Spanish, explain the matches as they happen and translate the chants from the crowd.
Can I bring kids?
Yes, lucha libre is a family tradition in Mexico. Sunday's Domingo Familiar is the best night for younger guests, and every child gets a mask.
Can I bring a camera?
Phones only. The arenas allow photos and video from your phone, but no other cameras, including action cameras like GoPro or Insta360.
What if I need to change my date?
Arena tickets are bought in advance and can't be refunded. Message me as soon as possible and I'll do my best to move you to another date. If your tickets were already purchased, their value is charged again for the new date. See our Cancellation Policy.
