Mariachis, Mezcal & Lucha Libre

Pulque! Mezcal! Mariachis! Lucha Libre!

What else can you ask for to have an epic night out in Mexico City?

This experience takes you to Garibaldi Square, home to Mexico’s World-Famous Mariachi bands— an incredible place where you will visit a historically important Cantina as well as a very traditional Pulqueria. Choose a luchador mask and rock it at Arena Mexico.

– Start at the Museum of Tequila and Mezcal on Garibaldi square, where your guide will be waiting for you, You’ll learn how to properly drink mezcal and tequila (no, neither of them should be shot, actually) as well as importants bits of their history and context in Mexican society.

– After your lesson on how to sip Mexican spirits, head to a traditional cantina, a Mexican bar that started back in the revolution times. Have a delicious snack and a mezcal cocktail. To add to the fun, you’ll also be serenaded by a local Mariachi or Jarocho band!

– Hop on the subway and travel to Arena Mexico, where the world-famous Lucha Libre takes place. Grab your Lucha Libre mask and get ready for the action: You will sit among locals instead of the tourist section. We want you to experience the authentic Lucha Libre atmosphere instead of sitting in a sterile place. Be ready to hear a lot of yelling and have tons of fun. You also may learn a curse or two from the friendly locals around you.

– After approximately 2-2.5 hours of delightful lucha libre, grab a ride-share back home or choose to stay out and enjoy the boisterous nightlife of the area.

– We refuse to take you to the tourist seats of Arena Mexico and Arena Coliseo. We want you to experience an authentic Lucha Libre night out, not to sit wondering what you are watching or why all locals seem to yell the same thing at the same time— we want to immerse you in the fun!

– Vegan or vegetarian snacks included. You’ll taste snacks like esquites and guacamole during this tour.

– More than Lucha Libre, it’s a tour of Mexican nightlife. Discover Mexico City’s nightlife guided by knowledgable locals: Visit cantinas, pulquerias and the traditional Plaza Garibaldi!

– Sustainable tourism. We take public transportation instead of a tourist van, which is not only more planet-friendly, but also much more fun!
