      you will witness the Day of the Dead celebration that takes place in the town every year. Mixquic locals enjoy this important event as they set out beautiful carpets of sawdust, cempasuchil flowers, prehispanic dances and colorful altars in order to honor the deceased. This is one of the most important celebrations in Mexico because families gather to visit the cemetery and decorate the tombs of their deceased family, putting offerings conformed by fruit, water, salt, a typical bread called "pan de muerto", candles and more. Along with your guide, you'll walk along the town and learn all about the importance of this day and how locals honor the dead in a totally unique ritual. You will truly experience and live the Mexican culture. You will also have the chance to try traditional foods (not included) and take memorable pictures of this once-in-a-lifetime experience. You'll get a chocolate skull during the tour to savor and remember this day.

      Lucha Libre is amazing!
      Absolutely a must if you are in Mexico City! We loved this. Go to the area across the road from the arena for some food and drinks beforehand, it’s huge with lots of vendors and a real buzz before you go across for the main event. Door to door transport with a guide that spoke English made everything so easy for us. Not to mention we chose when we wanted to leave and just sent a WhatsApp and the driver was ready for us. Could not recommend this more!!

      Great tour by excellent guide of pretty Puebla and interesting Cholula
      Our guide Rogelio was an outstanding, friendly and informative guide to Puebla and Cholula, The adventure is a little long and I would probably recommend leaving out Cholula which was okay but the high point of the excursion is beautiful and charming Puebla with it's churches, central square, charming streets and people

      Entertainment for the whole family!
      Wow. So much fun. We went on a Sunday which is Family night. Had our adult children and grandchild with us. Every one had a blast. Lots of kids shouting at the wrestlers. Great seats. Order a beer and they pour 2 bottles of beer into one plastic cup. Lots of snacks being hawked in the seats. I actually had Mr. Noodles soup but with lime and salsa. Took uber there and back.

      Great experience in Mexico City
      The tour guides were amazing! Aaron and Gabriela were outstanding, professional and very friendly, funny and super knowledgeable. The transportation was super comfortable, the buses were pretty new. Mexico is a wonderful place to visit! We did the pyramids, the Guadalupe Shrine and Garibaldi at Night plus Puebla and Cholula. Highly recommended!!!

      Unforgettable Family Fun at the Mexican Wrestling Experience
      Our family visit to the Mexican Wrestling experience was spectacular! From the timely pickup by the operator, to recommending a great foodcourt nearby for a pre-match bite, the vibrant atmosphere, colorful masks, and high-energy performances made it unforgettable. The skilled wrestlers kept us on the edge of our seats, and the whole family was captivated, cheering along with the crowd. The event was well-organized, with friendly staff and great amenities for families. The great snacks and drinks added to the festive vibe. Overall, it was a perfect blend of culture, entertainment, and family fun. We left with big smiles and wonderful memories, highly recommended!

      Wrestle-mania.
      We'd been told by a relative to go and see Lucha Libre when we visited Mexico City. This tour suited us as the collection point was a 5 minute walk from where we were staying. The driver was on time and with only one other stop to make, we arrived at the arena with plenty of time. Our seats were superb, 10 rows from the ring, so we had a great view. And what a hoot it was. I was in hysterics. Everything about it was over the top, flamboyant and hilarious. The time flew by. Our driver was waiting exactly where he said he'd be and he even dropped us back at our hotel. A superb and entertaining evening.

      Terrible tour
      Very disappointing, left 45 late and got back 3 hours late. The “bilingual” guide knew very little English and didn’t explain well. We only saw two churches in Puebla and skipped the rich cultural heritage. Mini buse was crowded, hot and zero leg room. Tour from hell.

      Amazing
      I recommend it 100%, if you want to have a fun time, the wrestling tour will undoubtedly make you extremely excited. They took us in safe transportation, they left us very punctually at the Arena. The view was very good, the attention and response of the people who contacted us was excellent. Thank you Mexitours

      Great Tour Friendly Tour Guide
      Very well organized tour. We enjoyed it very much. The lunch provided is very good and lavish but has very limited options for a vegetarian though. Tour guide was very friendly and explained everything in English as well.

      Mazatlan City Tour with Vista Tours
      The tour was very rushed. Our guide seemed to rush through areas that might be interesting and take us to specific shops in the markets that she knew the people. We went to a jewelry store and wasted a lot of time there that cold have been better used else where. The only part that was interesting was the cathedral. The tour was with Vista Tours in the 15 passenger van.

      Fun CDMX experience for all ages
      Other than pick-up time snafu, the tour was great. Jonathon was an excellent guide and patiently dealt with the pick- up problems. The Luche Libre fights were very entertaining and atlético. The entire outing ( on a Sunday) was about 5 hours. The Luchadores lasted a little more than 2 hours. Highly recommend.

    Entire trip was wonderful. They described the entire day to us, took us to the cemetery and had answers to all our questions.
    Advice for future travelers, have some cash on you, and don't be scared to try new things.
