“Guide was very nice, but knew nothing about football and did not actually show us round the stadium. Did not expect to have to share transport with another group. Pick-up time was confusing- given 3 different times and he turned up 10 minutes after the latest time. Actually only lasted a bare 2 hours, not 3, so poor value for money.”

Fabio is so passionate, and extremely knowledgable about the club and Maracana. He was completely inclusive and made sure everyone got to (and into) the stadium ok, which is a difficult task. 5 stars, highly recommend. And as a solo traveller who loves football, it’s a great opportunity to meet other people.”

“We were extremely happy with the communication and organization of the tour company, which made a trip to the Maracana user-friendly. The meeting point in Ipanema was clear, and they had helped with the facial ID for the stadium and were generally friendly and efficient. Although I don’t think it’s a commitment, they actually did drop off people on the way back through Copacabana and Ipanema to the original spot, which was very convenient for us. Bear in mind the league’s date for our match changed several times back and forward by 1 day, so be prepared to switch out other events or tours. But we were extraordinarily lucky our…”

“Maracana + local derby = football heaven. Was in town for the Fla-Flu - one of the biggest games in Brazilian club football! Fabio and Mari were fantastic hosts. Great communications before, during and after the game when passions were running a little high after an upset by Fluminense. Despite this I never once felt unsafe and both Fabio and Mari ensured everyone in the group remained at ease and most importantly safe, waiting for everyone to get in their Ubers back home after the game. The atmosphere was second to none and this is a must do for any football fanatic! The crown jewel of a (so far) fantastic…”

“Rafa was an absolute pleasure to meet!!! it was awesome he was able to show us around and was great at talking about the culture around the club and the actual game itself.

It was easy to meet up with him and brought us to the game in a timely manner, so we could enjoy not only the things outside the stadium but inside also to take pictures and things before the match.
