    Fabio was fantastic! I really liked that the experience was truly authentic, going to a bar with other fans, and standing in a section near to the most passionate supporters. He also made sure that everyone passed security without any problems, and waited for everyone to get their Uber after the game so everyone was safe. And what a great game and stadium! Definitely recommended

    Fábio is the man! Looked after a large group of ‘out of towners’ and took us all very safely into what most tourist would think of as a daunting, intimidating experience. Flamengo with Fábio and the crew is a must do, bucket list experience that you may not realise is on your list! Safely and securely from meeting point to stadium and back again. Make sure you check out the drummers on the concourse before the game because you won’t miss them during it. This truly is an epic experience bordering on a religious moment if you immerse yourself in the theatre of it all. 100 stars out of 5!

    Amazing experience! Fabio took us to see Flamengo play at the iconic Maracanã Stadium. He even offered us a beer and watched the match with us in the curva. Singing and celebrating with the fans was unforgettable. Highly recommended if you want to experience the real atmosphere of Brazilian football! ⚽🍻🔴⚫

    Me and my son Stu did a Flamengo match with Fabio - the final home match of 2025 when Flamengo won the serie A title. Had a great experience with Fabio, who was not only a big Rubro Negro fan but also a big football fan in general. Great experience with a great guy. Phil & Stuart Dec 2025

    My wife and I joined Fabio for the Flamengo vs. Bragantino match, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in great hands, he’s enthusiastic, well-prepared, and genuinely loves sharing his passion for Flamengo. We started the experience in a lively local bar surrounded by Flamengo fans, which was the perfect warm-up. A couple of drinks, great conversations, and suddenly we felt completely part of the red-and-black crowd. Heading to Maracanã with the group made everything even more special. The atmosphere inside the stadium was unbelievable, from nonstop singing, incredible energy, and a level of emotion you really have to feel in person. If you’re thinking of catching a Flamengo game, I can’t recommend going with Fabio enough. He turns the whole experience into something unforgettable! And Fabio, good luck on the 29th of November in Lima at the Estadio Monumental U. I hope you come back with another Flamengo tattoo to celebrate another unforgettable victory!

    We had the pleasure to visit a Flamengo game not only once, but twice. Both times we went with Fabio and this was one of the best decisions we made during our travels in South America. Fabio is the best host you can wish for - attentive, caring, knowledgeable and entertaining. Before the game we met with the group, Fabio and some of his friends in a local Flamengo bar where we had a couple of drinks. This was a great opportunity to dive deep into the local football culture. Afterwards all of us headed to the stadium. It is impossible to explain the atmosphere in Maracana. You have to experience it yourself - and the best way is to do so with Fabio! An absolute MUST!

    Fabio was amazing! We met him a few hours before kick off for a drink at a local bar to soak up the atmosphere. He then took us to the Maracana about one hour before kick off so we could find our seats, get a beer and join in with the singing and chants! He made us feel very safe the whole time and spoke perfect English. He was a real Flamengo fan so taught us everything we needed to know about the team, stadium and history. I would definite recommend booking with Fabio!

    I recently attended the thrilling Flamengo vs. Fluminense match with my son, Luciano, and it was an unforgettable experience! The atmosphere in the stands was electric, filled with passionate fans, chants, and samba music. Fluminense's 2-0 victory only added to the excitement! Our hosts, Fabio and Mari, were absolutely fantastic. They ensured we had a wonderful time, taking care of us and making sure we felt safe throughout the match, especially considering the intensity of this classic rivalry. They also shared insights about Brazilian football culture and the unique characteristics of each club, which enriched our experience. I highly recommend Fabio and Mari for anyone looking to enjoy a football match in Brazil. Their hospitality and knowledge truly made our day special!

    We were able to enjoy this mega experience in September. Fabio is the best guide from booking to the end of the event, the support he provided was excellent. Always available and immediate feedback and support even after the game, he wanted feedback that we arrived safely at home/hotel. Thank you Fabio for your commitment and for allowing us to share this experience with you Cheers

    First of all thank you very much for this brilliant experience at a game Fabio, I really appreciate it. Before the game Fabio was so quick at helping with any questions I had for him, and made sure everyone had the best experience they could have. It was the best match I have been to, thanks to Fabio. After the game Fabio made sure everyone got back okay which was really good of him. The Maracana is an incredible stadium, and I couldn’t recommend anyone more than Fabio to help you experience it. ⚫️

    This was a wow experience. It started off a little bumpy where the pickup point was in question. Eventually it got sorted out and Fabio met us at the stadium Maracana. All communications were done through WhatsApp. Fabio has a very good command of the English language however there were a few nuances that we had to clarify. No biggie. He came through in all of the important times. My wife, daughter and I uber-ed over and waited at a designated location as another couple was meeting at another location nearby and were getting retrieved first. Once we were greeted, Fabio explained the safety and security measures implement and told us that we would be getting through the security and he would not leave us. He kept his word and amongst all of the chaos outside the futbol stadium, we were finally in. This is not something for the weak of heart. This was a championship game and we were entering a sold out game with an excited and passionate crowd. Fireworks were exploding and Fabio kept his cool and got us into the game. Seats are not assigned. Just the section. I was not a huge futbol fan however this helped convert me. I know the dame more or less and followed everything. The crowd was amazing! Beer is tossed onto the air with each of the hometown team’s goals. The Flamenco’s were plating a team from São Paulo called the Palmieros (I think). Fabio also made sure were left the stadium safely and walked us about 7 blocks to a place were it was easier to catch an Uber back. This was the experience of a lifetime that was made possible by Fabio and the passionate Flamenco fans. Some of the best in the world however not according to our Gate One guide Gabe who recommended next time watching the team from Buenos Aires called Boca Juniors. Gabe is amazing as well and he is the one that recommended taking a guide rather than buying the tickets on our own. He warned us of the craziness and we have to pass it along that we agree. There are too many things to know so at least the first time, Hire HomeTeam in the city by you and hopefully its Rio and hopefully you will get Fabio!!

    We met 4 hours before the game and went together to a local bar filled with Flamengo fans not far from the stadium. Fabio and Bruna are both fluent in English and could answer every question (game or organizational wise). Overall a great experience and definitely worth the price, especially for the fan experience. Would definitely book here again! Thank you Fabio and Bruna for this beautiful day!!

Such an amazing experience for me and my girlfriend, we felt safe 100% of the time and the game was so so good!! If you’re a football fan (a real fan) in Rio this is a MUST!!!!
