From the very first moment, this experience was much more than just a soccer match: it was a true immersion in the passion that São Paulo FC inspires. João Pedro, our host, welcomed us with absolute warmth and availability from the very first moment. Always attentive, he made sure that no one had any problems getting to the meeting point at the São Paulo-Morumbi station. João guided us safely, and once we were near Morumbi, the experience became magical. We arrived with enough time to soak up the atmosphere: music, flags, chants, and cold beers. During the match, we were positioned in the best section, next to São Paulo's most passionate fans. Singing, jumping, and supporting the team alongside them was unforgettable. João made sure that everyone was comfortable, integrated, and safe at all times. The post-match experience was equally well organized: we returned by subway without any complications, accompanied by João, who was always attentive to everyone until he made sure everyone returned safely home or to their accommodation. In short, it was a complete, exciting, and well-accompanied experience. João was not only a guide, but a true host who proudly and passionately shared his love for São Paulo FC. Highly recommended for any football fan who wants to experience the sport as Brazilians do.

João did everything to guarantee a smooth experience. He gave detailed directions to the meeting point (very helpful for a first time traveler to São Paulo), interesting explanations about São Paulo FC and the murals and even helped us to find the best place to buy a jersey and cold beer. Even though not everything went as planned, he made the best out of the situation and took great care of us. All in all, It was a great evening and we had a wonderful time. If you are planning to visit São Paulo as a soccer fan, the matchday experience with João is a must do!

Really enjoyed the company of João. Top man with incredible knowledge about the São Paulo club. I was late for the game, but João waited for me patiently. What's funny is that my card wasn't working, and as an Indian, I didn't have Pix to pay the Uber driver. Luckily, João kindly paid on my behalf. Never have I met a more humble tour guide – truly one of a kind!

We were two friends, one knowledgeable about futebol, one who knew nothing, and Joao did a great job with both. Explaining simple things about the game, the team and its history to the newbie and going a bit deeper for the pro. He also brought us to some great food options and had some beers with us to warm up before the game. All around a fun time and I can definitely recommend visiting the stadium with Joao!

I had an incredible time at the São Paulo vs. Corinthians match at Morumbi, and João was a huge part of what made the experience so memorable. As a solo traveler, it was fantastic to join a group for such an exciting game—definitely a different vibe compared to going it alone. João was super chill and made the whole day feel relaxed and enjoyable. He took care of everything, from helping us grab beers and food to guiding us through buying shirts as souvenirs. If you’re looking for a great way to experience the match day atmosphere in São Paulo, I highly recommend João. A perfect blend of fun, ease, and local knowledge!

Had a good time at this game. Joao was very organised and communicated the arrangements well. He’s a true football fan and knew all the history of the club, including explaining the murals near the stadium. I would recommend him.

Joao is your guy for a full on match day experience in São Paolo. Form the moment we booked he got in touch on WhatsApp and made it as smooth as possible. On match day he was punctual and very informative with everything that has to do with Sao Paolo and all surroundings of the stadium. He bought us a round of beer too! Look no further should you want to go to a football game and feel local. João is the man!

Watching this match with Joao was an awsome experience. He is just a great guy who knows everything about Sao Paulo FC and will get you deep in the club's culture by explaining the story showing the murals and of course by guiding you into the stadium to assist the match. If I will ever be back in Sao Paulo I will antoher match with Joao for sure. 100% recommended

João Pedro is a fantastic host and super knowledgeable about his team! Before the match against Flamengo, we met for pregame drinks and food, walked the neighborhood around the stadium where João Pedro showed us some murals of the club, and we learned more about the history and traditions of São Paulo FC. Highly recommend going to a match with him, good times!

João Pedro hosted me to the last game of the Brazilian league and it could not have been a greater experience. Everything was great, especially the communication before the game which made everything both interesting and easy to understand. João Pedro was a truly great host with so much knowledge about the team in his heart. It was very interesting to learn all the stories behind the graffitis around Morumbi and also to learn more about Brazilian football in general. I can highly recommend you to let João Pedro to be your host in your upcoming match experience in São Paolo.

Joao was helpful, knowledgeable and organised. We met at the tube stop he showed us the graffiti around the ground, told us about the history and was very helpful. This Sao Paolo experience was a little more tourist friendly than others i have experienced in South America, so if your after a more friendly environment rather than powder keg volatile, choose this one and Joao!

Joao was such an amazing guide/host. He is very clear and kept me well informed about all the details to make sure I had the best matchday experience! Indeed, this is what happened. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I also appreciated all the knowledge he has about the history of Sao Paulo FC and Brazilian football culture. It makes the whole experience more valuable. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a proper SPFC matchday experience!

5 stars is not enough for João, I wish I could give more! He is the perfect guide. Firstly his communication was excellent, helping us to reach the meet point with clear instructions and on hand for advice any time we needed before the day itself. He catered the travel to our needs, choosing a metro station close to our hotel to meet. We attended a derby game and João made us feel extremely safe! He is clearly very passionate about football and has a lot of knowledge that he shared with us in detail. He knew all the answers, even to my crazy questions! He helped us choose the most amazing food I’ve ever had at a football game! Importantly, he is a great guy, easy to talk to and very funny. Finally, the match itself was amazing, the best atmosphere I’ve ever experienced even though it was goalless! I can’t recommend João enough, the experience was worth every penny. Everything was perfect. See you again next year!!

Joao was awesome. I had the opportunity to go see Sao Paulo vs Corinthians and it was amazing. It was definitely an experience I would not have been able to do without his help and worth every cent I spent. He made it easy to communicate with and I would definitely recommend booking a game with him. He knows so much history of the team, the players, and is a truly passionate fan.

Joao Pedro did a great job, especially in convincing me that Rogerio Ceni is the greatest goalkeeper of all time. He is an Excellent ambassador for Sao Paulo City & SP FC. I enjoyed the game and the experience.

Joao Pedro is everything you want in a host; punctual, knowledgeable, and informative. I'm glad my first Brazilian futebol experience was with him, and I highly recommend his experience to everyone!

I was a few times before in São Paulo but this time I could finally see a game of SPFC. I was the only guest with João Pedro which was really nice so we could talk all the time together about São Paulo FC, Morumbi and the big game. Today was a derby because the opponent was Corinthians. Morumbi is one of the biggest and most impressive stadiums I have been and I really hope to go back someday with João Pedro. A fanatic fan of São Paulo which makes sure you have a good experience with lot of information and stories about the club!

I got to see an incredible match with João, very special atmosphere. I can't recommend this experience enough. It was much better to go to the match with João and enjoy the game with a real supporter of the club. He also made it very easy getting to and from the stadium.

My wife and I went to a match in July 2023 with Joao and had a great time! The day or so before the match, Joao contacted us with some background information about the current league table etc. Meeting up at subway w another guest was easy. Form there, Joao was just great..he helped fill us in on the different fab types and sections, took us around the stadium, leaving time if we wanted to grab a souvenir He took care to make sure we were safe and accounted for but didn’t treat us like children, either… our morning-afternoon w him was a highlight of our trip to SP Obrigado, Joao!

This tour was a great experience, and Joao was excellent as the host. Early communication to prepare for the match day, very helpful and always available, he guided us through the transport to the stadium, a little tour of the area around the stadium and some São Paulo graffiti and murals, and the game itself. He’s a passionate fan himself and knows the team and its history. A flawless experience and and a great memory. Highly recommended!
