1st time in Rio for a football fan

Aaron_D, Nov 2025

It was an amazing time. I got the full Brazilian fan experience. The tour guide ensured that we got a chance to congregate with the other fans prior to the match. Once inside, our seats were in the supporters section. That meant 90 minutes of standing, singing, and clapping while watching the match. After the match we made our way to the van, for a smooth ride back to the hotel. It was everything that I hoped for and I would gladly book this on every future trip to Rio.

Botafogo vs Flamengo game

We had a great experience with the local Botafogo fans. Our guide, Mari, was the greatest guide ever. She showed us around and we had so much fun! A+

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Thank you for your review! We are happy that you had a great time with Mari. Looking forward to welcoming you again in the near future!

Wonderful experience

Matheus was incredible. This experience was more than a futbol match. It was a dive into the culture of Botofogo fans. Matheus not only cares about the tour but cares about your individual experience. He was attentive and had great energy. We’ve done some great things in Rio but this was our favorite.
