Go beyond the ticket. Live Botafogo like a local

You want to experience something special. Go to Botafogo. Go with Alberto. A 5-star combination. This experience is unique. The stadium and the fans create an incredible atmosphere and you are right in the middle of it. Before you go, Alberto takes care of everything. He will give you excellent support. He gets in touch early enough to clarify all the details. And he is super organized. Alberto will be at your side from the meeting point until the return journey. On the way to the stadium, there is time to learn something about Botafogo and Brazilian soccer. Alberto is a pleasant conversation partner and he is very well informed - a real local fan. On the train and at the station, the fans create a great atmosphere. Together with Alberto and the fans, we head to the stadium. A beer is a must. You have an excellent view from the seats. The fans around you make a lot of noise. Pure passion. Amazing. Of course you join in. Between all the supporters, you become one of them. This is sport. This is football. At the end, we leave the stadium singing. Alberto brings you this experience. Thank you, Bro. It was incredible.

Matheus setup an incredible night, to the point where if he’s London or I’m back in Rio we will be grabbing a beer! Even my girlfriend came back a Botafogo fan

Alberto contacted me a week before the game and explained the process of face-id very good. We met at the subwaystation and together we travelled to the stadium. Alberto told me a lot about Botafogo during this trip. Near the stadium we took a beer and enjoyed the pre-game atmospere. Although the game ended in a draw, the match day experience was great! Thanks for the great day Alberto!
