We had a great time, Natalia took really good care of us. She was a constant source of amazing information, took the time to bring us to the places we were interested in seeing and allowed us plenty of time to shop and sightseeing. She always had our safety in mind and we really appreciate the care she took of us.
Seen the two stadiums was really amazing and the contrast between the two clubs and their locations. I would highly recommend the tour.

Excellent guide.
Sadly the Boca part of the tour is very limited due to works being done, so quite disappointing.
The river part was great.
As such. Overpriced
YOUNGWOO_O, Jan 2023
Never select this tour. Please.
This tour costs 130 USD, but it should be 30 USD.
What the guide does is only grabbing the taxi and watching the phone.
The tour at the stadium museum is done by yourself, or by the other guide in the stadium, which is spanish.
This is a fraud, honestly. Please, if you really want to see the stadiums, go alone by taxi. This is seriously a fraud. I believe they are worse than voice phishing.

Short tour fue you can’t access la Bombonera inside just the Museum although it’s spectacular but it felt kinda of short. But it’s not the guide or the tour company’s fault.
Mercedes_E, Oct 2022
Tha group was small. It’s was confortable Van the driver very nice and take care of the traffic. The guide woman was professional and nice. Tks

Alexandra was a great guide. She made a special effort to speak to us in English and arranged for the guides at both Boca and River to translate to us as well .
JanWillem_N, Jan 2020
Very nice sweet and helpfull guide, liked it so much (as not a football fan). You will get VIP acces in boca and get a free picture. Riverplate is a very nice museum and a lot of history about the football and city of buenos aires

Tour was amazing and Eduardo was so helpful and informative

Visited Boca first really informative with good guide, downside of this tour there was a match on at River plate that night so only got to see museum and not ground tour. I felt this was really bad of the tour company for not checking this out and giving me chance to change date.
Bryce T, Nov 2017
Great stadium to go through. Take a jacket. Even on a sunny day this part of BA gets a cool breeze. Exhibits have English translations. There was a bit of waiting around before going through the stadium proper but a very good museum. A translator for the stadium guide would be good but we had a tour guide to assist. Fun tour and very informative. Well worth seeing to understand how high and steep the stands are.
Emma S, Aug 2017
I did the tour of both stadiums and it was absolutely brilliant. Walter was my guide for the day and it was actually only me in the end. He was very knowledgeable and friendly!
RobertLeeSher_S, Mar 2017
The tour was not in English as sold. The guide translated but it loses something. Not enough time to look around. The tour was combined with those doing the second tour so we had to hurry and be dropped off not at the starting point but a t another spot. I think the tour could be arranged on your own for less and with bettter results.

Dear Christian
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
The booked service is a regular service, it is done in two languages so everyone can enjoy the tour. We regret that it is not clear on the web.
We hope you still enjoyed the magic of our tour.
Edward_R, Dec 2016
The tour gave a really interesting insight into the two clubs and my guide Walter was fantastic. Not only did he give me a guided tour of the grounds and the explain their history, between the grounds in the taxi he told me lots more about the city and pointed out sights and areas of interest!
If you're a football fan and visiting Buenos Aries I would definitely recommend this...
Mohsin K, Apr 2016
Nice tour of the stadium and the la boca neighborhood
Frank W, Aug 2015
Eugenia was an excellent guide. She knew a lot about the teams and stadiums, and she also told us a lot about Buenos Aries as we passed various sites in the taxis on the way to and from the stadiums. Seeing the Bombanera and Monumental stadiums from the inside was a real treat. I would recommend this tour to any football fanatic like me.
Keith W, Jun 2015
The tor pick up was good, the tour guide good, I found the stadium tour very enjoyable. I would recommend it to my friends
Jonathan F, Jan 2015
I´m a passionate football fan so I was really looking forward to visiting both stadiums.
My tour guide Claudia was brilliant.
Not only did I learn from her knowledge of the history of the two clubs, Boca and River.
But she also taught me much about the history of Buenos Airies and Argentina.
She also acted as my personal translator and photographer,
taking well over a hundred photos for me on my phone.
I cannot praise her enough, she was great company for 5 hours and an excellent tour guide.
Petar L, Jul 2014
An amazing day out touring through two of the power clubs in Argentina. Thanks heaps to our guide for an informative and fun tour. Seeing the contrast between the two stadiums and learning of how big the rivalry really is between the two clubs was the highlight. A must do for all soccer fans.
Ricco P, Jul 2014
Too short considering cost (higher because agent involved). Very limited access to areas. Stadium guide spoke Spanish 95% of tour.
Response from Host, Jun 2020
Dear Ricco, Thanks for your comments. Usually, stadium guides begin their explanation in Spanish and then continue in English or any other language. We take this feedback and foward it to the Stadium as an opportunity to improve their services. Best regards,
Bruce M, Jul 2014
Really great tour and fantastic guide..definately recommend to all football fans!
Catherine B, Oct 2012

Bandit, Jun 2012

Anthony L, Dec 2011
The tour was definitely worth it. Very interesting.
Andres C, Aug 2017
Una visita que vale la pena hacer si te gusta el futbol. Es lamentable que el estadio del River esté tan deteriorado.
