Overview

Uncover the soul of Mexico City in one night!
We begin in the Centro Histórico, entering iconic Cantinas dating back to 1869—time capsules of 19th-century elegance. Between drinks, we’ll visit a traditional taquería for authentic tacos. Whether you choose your "CANTINAS & Legends" path or the food-focused "TACO TOUR," your expert guides will weave a tapestry of spine-chilling colonial hauntings and urban myths.
For beer enthusiasts, we also offer a group tour option featuring a curated Mexican "CRAFT BEER TASTING".

The night reaches its fever pitch at Arena Coliseo, the historic "Cathedral of Lucha Libre." Built in 1943, this venue is famously smaller and more intimate than massive modern stadiums.
From your prime seats, you won’t just see the action—you’ll feel it. Because of the arena’s unique circular design, you are close enough to hear every thud on the canvas and the literal smack of the Luchadores as they collide in mid-air.

What's Included

  • Meals Taco Tour (only in the stated option)
  • Alcoholic beverages Journey through Mexico’s liquid history, tasting a curated selection bridges the gap between centuries-old agave traditions and modern independent brewing (only in the Cantinas option)
  • But good tippers go to heaven
  • Souvenirs of the wrestling match
  • Extra food or drinks
