Welcome to an Extraordinary Football Experience in Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Get ready for an unforgettable adventure that will take you to the iconic Estadio Monumental – the largest stadium in South America, with a capacity of over 84,000 fans. Here, you’ll witness an exciting River Plate match from premium seats in the Belgrano Lower Stand.

As a visitor, you’ll have a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the passion and excitement of Argentinian football. Your journey will begin with a warm welcome from a local expert guide who will accompany you to the legendary Monumental Stadium. Along the way, your host will share fascinating stories and insights about River Plate’s rich football culture.

We’ll stop to enjoy the iconic “choripán de cancha” (a traditional stadium sausage sandwich) with a drink (optional), as part of the pre-match tradition that fans across the country cherish.

Once inside the stadium, you’ll be amazed by the sheer scale and history of the venue, which has hosted countless legendary moments in Argentine football. Your first-class seat will offer a perfect view of the pitch, allowing you to fully soak in the electric atmosphere.

Feel the energy of River Plate’s passionate supporters, known as Los Millonarios, as their chants and songs echo through the stands. From the first whistle, you’ll be on the edge of your seat, swept up in the intensity of the game and the emotion of the crowd.

After the final whistle, your host will accompany you back and will be happy to answer any questions you may have about the match, the team, or Argentine football in general. You’ll leave with unforgettable memories of a once-in-a-lifetime football experience at the Monumental.

    Tomas provided my wife and I an incredible opportunity to experience River Plate and the iconic Monumental mere meters from the pitch. Without a doubt, these are the best seats in the stadium and the Monumental's atmosphere is energetic, fun, passionate, raucous, and safe. I would not hesitate to book these seats again with Tomas, and I'm already looking at a potential return for some fall fixtures!

    I went to the River v Talleres game on 13th April 2025 and I was very happy I choose Tomás to be my host. Going to a River game is a fantastic experience and Argentinian football is more enjoyable than European games - the referees let the games flow. Before the game, Tomás messaged me to explain how to set up a River ID and then go through the facial recognition process - which is how you get access to the stadium. Once this is done (a few days in advance), he assigns the ticket to you and meets you close to the stadium on match day. The whole process was easy and I'm glad I had Tomás and Diego to help us all the way. I've been to at least 20 football stadiums and these seats are probably the best I've ever sat in - you are so close to the pitch - well worth it and I really enjoyed the game!

    Tomàs was an excellent host. Communication was superb before, during, and after the game. This would have been intimidating if not next to impossible for me to do on my own being a solo traveler. Tomás made the whole process as stress free as possible. He got us through the crowds, into the stadium, and in our seats without any problems. The seats were incredible. Very close to the action on the field. He took care of us after the game as well getting us out of the stadium hassle free. First class experience all the way!!!

    The experience was absolutely amazing! This was easily one of the best experiences that I had while visiting Buenos Aires. Tomas is very friendly, knowledgeable, and will answer any questions you may have, including questions about the general area. I’m extremely thankful I met him. I had been trying to attend a game for days with no luck (it can be very difficult to acquire tickets for a game, and acquiring the tickets doesn’t always mean the experience will be good) but when I came across Tomas and bought my ticket the day of the game, everything was smooth and straight forward with him which I really appreciate. Not only did he make me feel completely safe by being with me (I’m a solo traveler) , but he made the experience authentic by easily getting me Choripan and drinks! He escorted me through the crowd after I finished eating and we quickly made our way to the seats. And let me tell you, the seat is just WOW! You are literally right in front of the field and can even hear the prayers talk and kick the ball. The energy of the crowd, the chanting, and the passion for the sport that you can witness is magical. After the game, he will escort you back out as well. I will always remember this experience as one of my best, and it’s all thanks to Tomas! Highly recommend!

    Fantastic time. Not only did Tomas, Juan and Diego provide a fun and safe experience, they also know their stuff. Any question we had, whether it was about the team, the stadium, or the general area, they were able to answer. The seats at the game were spectacular- you feel like you’re right on the field. Highly recommend for anyone interested in going to a game, and don’t even think about taking an Uber or driving to the stadium as they also have a driver that can pick you up from where you are.

    Last night, my family and I witnessed an amazing experience. It all started with a concierge service we use to acquire hard to get/last minute tickets who contacted Homefans. Immediately, Andrea reached out to us and kept in constant contact every step of the way. She even asked if we needed transportation (which I strongly recommend over an Uber or Taxi) and arranged a pick-up/drop-off to and from the hotel. The driver (Mariano) was great. Very friendly, knowledgeable, and answered any and all questions we had. He took us to the meet and greet with our tour guides (Diego, Tomas, and Juan). These 3 men escorted us through the crowd and were able to immediately secure us any drinks, food (including Choripan), and souvenirs. We ate, drank, and danced with the crowd (pregame) and then we were whisked into the stadium and sitting in our seats in minutes! We learned so much of both the history of the team and stadium by all 3 hosts. After a 2-0 victory, we were escorted back to our car where Mariano gave us a ride back to our hotel. On a special note, these 3 men at ALL times made you feel so comfortable and safe throughout the whole experience. They treated us like family!!! They are remarkable humans!!! I can't thank all of them enough. Eternally grateful to all and want to send a big thank you to Diego and Tomas for making sure my wife and daughter knew they were protected and safe from the time they met them, until they took us all back to our awaiting car. Blessed to have crossed paths with all involved!!!
