    A fantastic experience. Booked with HomeFans for the combined Buenos Aires-Rio adventure. Everything about the organisation was superb - from the pre-trip advice and communications when it came to selecting the best dates, to the hotels provided (both 4* and perfectly located in each city) and the match experiences themselves. I managed to get to three games in BA (booked an extra match whilst there) and two in Rio. The hosts each time were superb ensuring we experienced the true pre match experience as well as getting great spots in each stadium and really feeling part of the home crowd. I booked a few add on stadium tours as well and again, was really well looked after and found out so much more about each stadium as well as accessing pitch side, changing rooms etc at the likes of the Maracana and Monumental. Could not rate HomeFans highly enough - just superb.

    An unforgettable adventure! Homefans made my trip to Argentina and Brazil seamless and truly immersive. Watched River, Boca, Velez in Buenos Aires to the legendary MaracanĂŁ Stadium in Rio, every matchday was different and amazing. The hosts were fantastic, sharing insider stories and making us feel like part of the football family. A must for any football fan!
