Soccer game in Rio de Janeiro with Local Supporter

I'm in love with football. I went to the stadium for the first time at the age of 5 and never stopped being present. I celebrated championships, cried for losses and victories, watched some of the greatest players in Brazil and in the world. I made great friends who cheer for my team and also for the opposing team, after all, sport is Peace. At Maracanã I watched strangers embrace as relatives celebrating a goal at the last minute and witnessed parents celebrating the first championship along with their young son. I invite you to see all this with me, with security and structure. "Let's go!"

Great for the ‘must sees’ in Rio.

A great day out that gets you to the ‘must see’ attractions. Flávio our guide adjusted the tour so that we missed the busy times at the main attractions thus reducing queue times which was good. It would have been helpful to me if he’d had a lollipop stick/ flag/ umbrella to see him as a couple of times I lost him for a short while. One guide I saw had an oven glove (mitten) which was unique when he raised his hand.

Iconic visit at Maracana

Great experience redeeming the ticket. The tour of the stadium is at your own pace but you can stay as much as you can in each section. Highly recommend! Once there you can add the penalty kicks which was amazing.

It is a day tour for the main attractions of the city if you only have a day or two in Rio de Janeiro. You get to see many different places, but you don’t have a lot of time to spend in each site, which makes it a bit stressful. We have chosen the lunch option and there we had enough time and food. Big shoutout to our hostess Gabi for being so polite, attentive and helpful.
