Pedro was an incredible host from start to finish. Exceptional level of English and a really smooth process from start to finish. The game itself (Fluminense v Vasco) was unbelievable with an atmosphere to match. Met some other tourists in the group as well which was an added bonus. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants wants to watch the best team in Rio play in the best stadium in Brazil.

Matheus was amazing! He was our guide during the Flamengo football match and honestly, he made the whole experience so much better. From the very beginning he was super friendly, patient and fun — he explained everything, helped us find our way, and made sure we felt safe and relaxed the whole time. You can tell he really cares about people and wants everyone to enjoy the game like a true local. We laughed a lot and learned a ton, and I’ll always remember that day with a big smile. Thanks so much, Matheus — you’re the best

Pedro, thanks for guiding us to the match. FlaFlu derby was the best atmosphere of any match I've seen. Enjoyed the beers and meeting the supporters! See you next time!

You want to experience something special. Go to Botafogo. Go with Alberto. A 5-star combination. This experience is unique. The stadium and the fans create an incredible atmosphere and you are right in the middle of it. Before you go, Alberto takes care of everything. He will give you excellent support. He gets in touch early enough to clarify all the details. And he is super organized. Alberto will be at your side from the meeting point until the return journey. On the way to the stadium, there is time to learn something about Botafogo and Brazilian soccer. Alberto is a pleasant conversation partner and he is very well informed - a real local fan. On the train and at the station, the fans create a great atmosphere. Together with Alberto and the fans, we head to the stadium. A beer is a must. You have an excellent view from the seats. The fans around you make a lot of noise. Pure passion. Amazing. Of course you join in. Between all the supporters, you become one of them. This is sport. This is football. At the end, we leave the stadium singing. Alberto brings you this experience. Thank you, Bro. It was incredible.
