What we will do in this experience

Hey, everyone!

I’m Pedro Henrique, your local guide in Rio de Janeiro, and I’m here to take you on an unforgettable journey through the world of carioca football! If you love football and want to experience this passion up close, then you’re in the right place!

Born and raised in Rio and a die-hard Vasco da Gama fan, I know better than anyone the magic of game day. I’ve been going to São Januário since I was 10 years old – that’s over 15 years living every goal, every chant, and all the excitement that only the Caldeirão can provide.

Hey, everyone!

Our adventure begins when I meet you at the designated meeting point. From there, we’ll head to São Januário, where you’ll experience the pre-game atmosphere alongside the Vasco fans. Expect good vibes, cold drinks, and plenty of stories to share!

Then, it’s time to step inside the stadium and feel the electric energy of the Caldeirão! And trust me, it’s not just about watching the game – it’s about living every moment like a true fan, cheering at every play, and enjoying the unique connection with the team and the crowd.

Don’t worry, I’ve got everything covered – from tickets to all the logistics. My mission is to ensure you have an authentic, safe, and unforgettable experience in the heart of carioca football.

So, are you ready to feel the thrill of a Vasco game like never before? Come with me – an amazing time is guaranteed!

Note: games can be moved to Maracanã or Nilton Santos Stadium without prior notice.

We went to a Vasco game with Pedro and had an unbelievable time! He was great- picked us up, helped us with everything and explained the history of the stadium and even dropped us home again. Would highly recommend going with Pedro- he made everything very easy and we really enjoyed the atmosphere!

I was on Vasco - Corinthians. 5 goals, awesome supporters. If you are from Europe it is totally different to what you can experience at European stadiums (in positive way). Pedro was very helpful. He knows a lot of people from Vasco "family", so you feel with him safe and comfortable. It is definetely worth to experience Vasco game with Pedro

This day was amazing! I watched Vasco against Independiente from Ecuador in the Copa Sudamericana. Pedro arranged everything in advance and ensured safe transportation to and from the stadium. The atmosphere in the stadium was great even though the first leg ended in a 0-4 loss in Ecuador. The second leg ended 1-1 and it was great to see Vegetti score live... Pedro takes care of you all the way and provides very good information about football in Brazil and the history of Vasco. Great venue, great host, just do it....

Went to the derby match Vasco - Flamengo with Pedro as host. Everything went smoothly. Communication via WhatsApp was perfect and he helped with questions before the match. He knows a lot about Vasco and you can definitely feel his passion for his club and for making his customers happy and taken well care of. Would definitely recommend Pedro as a host if you ever want to go for a Vasco match!

Went to the Vasco/Flamengo derby which was an awesome atmosphere (despite rain and a 0-0 tie). Pedro was great - he is very knowledgable about Vasco and shared lots of interesting facts about the history and players. He speaks excellent english and was very helpful at explaining how to register for facial recognition at the stadium prior to the match. He went above and beyond, by insisting on walking with me (in the rain) to a cool area to get food and drinks after the match. He also offered to help me navigate the complicated registration system for a Palmeiras match the following month. All in all, a great guy and a great experience if you want to attend a futebol match in Rio.

I went with my girlfriend to Vasco vs Sport Recife in April - had an awesome time. The atmosphere before the game with BBQ, beers, and general party vibes was unlike anything I've experienced in a European match. Pedro was an awesome host and taught us about Vasco history. Gave much more meaning to the game to experience with a local fan who grew up supporting vasco. Can't recommend enough. Thanks pedro

Whilst backpacking through Brazil we were eager to experience a football game, this did not disappoint. We met Pedro outside of the stadium, getting to experience the bustling build up of atmosphere with the home fans. From there we went into the stadium and sat watching the game with the home fans, with Pedro providing us lots of knowledge on the history of Vasco, giving insight into the crowd and community. Getting to experience this with local fans was a special experience. And Vasco got the win which made it even better. Would highly recommend booking this experience with Pedro, he ensured we all felt safe and got a true Brazilian football match experience. Elliot

Big thanks to Pedro for the perfect Rio football experience. Pedro took care of everything. The communication and information given upfront were very detailed and helpful. But the most important thing of course, was the matchday itself. Pedro picked me up at home and together we drove to the stadium where we met Pedros family. Pedro then made sure that I got something to eat and drink and was able to buy some merch. The game itself wasn't the best, but the atmosphere made up for it. The Sao Januario stadium is an absolute beauty and quite unique. Also Vasco has a great history, which I learned a lot about thanks to Pedro. Would definetly recommend every football fan to experience a Vasco game with Pedro.
