What we will do

Live the River Plate Experience with a long time River Fan. My name is Ramiro, but you can call me Rama. I’m mad about River. People say that I look a lot like Jay Leno and they may be true. The thing is that I want to invite you to be a hardcore fan of River Plate for one day. Stand in the Popular (the terrace) with us, just behind the goal, where the party is happening. Feel the greatest atmosphere, jump, sing, enjoy and suffer like one of us. This experience is the reason why you want to travel so far to understand how football is lived in the largest stadium in Latin America, El Monumental.

This standing only experience with close physical contact is very intense and may not be recommended for everyone.

My River Plate Match Day Experience will take you also  through a day filled with football, culture, and history of the most successful team in Argentina, the glorious River Plate.

This matchday experience, a private tour will leave you filled with unforgettable memories and a ton of memorable highlights.

In the days before the match, we will arrange the schedules and meeting points with total flexibility. It doesn’t matter where you are in the city.

The afternoon will start in the pre-arranged meeting place. From there we will start the way to the stadium as any River Plate fan would do. In the surroundings of the Monumental we will spend some time having a beer watching how the fans gather before the game. Then we will enter the Monumental stadium which, according to the media and after its remodeling, has become the hottest place in Argentina.

At the Monumental, you will be able to experience a home match of River Plate in one of the most famous stadiums in the world together with me during this unforgettable experience.

No need to worry about planning where to go, how to get a ticket for entrance! I will also help you to take some amazing photos throughout the day and get a once in a lifetime travel experience!

Read carefully:
This experience may not be the best option for everyone.
– You must be able to stand for the time we remain in the stadium
– You must be able to tolerate physical contact given the concentration of people around you

What a fantastic experience from start to finish. Rama is a brilliant host we met Rama before the game and he gets you to to and into the stadium super easily but not before the obligatory beer and snack before the game. Once in the stadium the atmosphere is like nothing I've ever experienced at a game before!! It is very packed in and at half my partner wasn't feeling comfortable and Rama made so much effort to make her more comfortable moving to a more spacious area. Rama got us home safely as we walked home from the stadium chatting about all things river plate and Argentinian football.

I went to 2 matches with Ramiro, one at Racing Club and one at River Plate. Both games Ramiro remained with me the entire game and was very approachable. I enjoyed both, especially the River match where we stood in the terraces for a 3-0 win. Gracias Ramiro!

Ramiro is a great host and you will have a great time with him if you do this trip. He took us for pizza and beers before the game, made sure we got into the ground ok and then the atmosphere and match experience was great, atmosphere was amazing. Highly recommended. We then went back for more pizza and beers after the game

Rama is a really nice guy that explained any question we had about River in great depth. He took care of everything and made sure we enjoyed the pre match atmosphere outside the ground and ensured we were safe at all times. After the match, he took us all for a pizza for a debrief which completed an awesome day of football. The River stadium and atmosphere is insane!!!

Rama is the perfect host and gave us the best football experience of our lives! I have attended football matches all over the world but nothing could ever live up to the intensity and passion of River Plate match! Rama made sure we were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at a restaurant near the ground where he told us stories about River Plate and ordered us a lovely meal. We were taken to the stadium and Rama made sure we all got in safely and he took us to the perfect spot where we were lucky enough to witness River win the league! After the match Rama guided us safely from the stadium to a little restaurant where we managed to get a bite to eat and a drink while he ordered us transport back to our hotels. An absolute gentlemen and legend of a guy! We will 100% be back to Argentina to take in a match with Rama! You will not find a better host!! There's not enough stars on here to praise RAMA!! Thankyou

Rama provided an amazing experience taking us to the superclasico. He came up with a full plan and map for us so we knew exactly how to get into the stadium safely as the security for this game was very high. We were provided with an amazing meal and beers before the game. Rama was able to find us a spot right behind the goal with a perfect view of the whole pitch and amongst a bouncing atmosphere. By the end of our trip Rama became a friend to our whole group rather than just a tour guide as he helped us with so much more than just the match day experience

We had an amazing time visiting the River Plate game against Union. Ramiro is a great host, who made sure everyone had a nice evening. He tells a lot about the club and we thought it was a big plus that he is a very passionate River fan himself. On our way to the stadium Ramiro got us some beers to get the matchday feeling started. And after the game he took us for some more beers and a burger. After the game we kept in touch and Ramiro was so friendly to give us advice when we were visiting some other games on our own. And thanks again Ramiro for letting me watch the Feyenoord game on your account! As someone else already wrote earlier, Ramiro is indeed great company and it really felt like we made a new friend. We really hope to welcome you in Holland someday Ramiro, so we can take you to a Feyenoord game as well!

Ramiro was an amazing host!! He was communicative, fun, polite, and organized. My group met him at a train station stop. He welcomed us with a great attitude and immediately provided us with the game plan for the day. He did not miss a beat. He was friendly with an awesome sense of humor (and great taste in music I must add, ha)! After the game we went for burgers and beers. Ramiro was great company. I felt like we made a new friend. Give this man a rise! I highly recommend his tour! Thank you, Ramiro!!

Ramiro is an absolute gentleman. My girlfriend and I went to the River plate match with Ramiro as our host. The atmosphere was absolutely mental in the stadium but Ramiro made the experience super safe and comfortable for us. He was great at communicating throughout, and it was great to hear him talk about his love for River plate and for football in general. It genuinely felt as if Ramiro was looking after his own children at the game when he shepherded us in and stayed with us. And we had some pints and burgers too, which was the cherry on top. 10/10 experience.

Our second experience was the River experience. Again amazing, El Monumental is really impressive. We did the River experience with Ramiro and what a guy he is. He made it a perfect experience. We had a beer at a local bar before the game and a good burger after the game. He knows so much about football that is incredible. Besides all the information he told us about River, he also knew a lot about European football (even the Dutch competition). We had some good laughs and we will never forget your what’s app “My situation”. Thanks for everything Ramiro!!

Being one of the biggest clubs in world football, River Plate was worth a visit in my eyes and I’m very glad I did! Ramiro is a charming and very friendly host who did all he could to make our visit to El Monumental great - a legend in my eyes as he also took us to a good burger joint after the game for a bite and a beer. El Monumental is a cool stadium with loud fans and well worth paying a visit to if you have the chance!

These guys offer an excellent River match-day experience. We traveled in the Subte to the Monumental and had beers at a local bar before and after the game. Juan and Ramiro are passionate about the experience they offer and make you feel like a group of friends that got together to go to a match. I highly recommend these guys!

Ramiro took me to the Superclásico in El Monumental and it was an experience I will remember till the day I die. The word Superclásico says it all and words fall short on describing this experience. I visited hundreds of football matches around the globe, but the pre-match atmosphere in and around the stadium was beyond comparison. Furthermore, Ramiro is the funniest Argentinian I met. It's not easy to have a sense of humor as a non-native speaker, but somehow Ramiro manages to make jokes all day long. I went with him to the River Plate museum too and he really knows a lot about his club and his enthusiasm is contagious. I am very glad to have met him and that I experienced the Superclásico together with him!

It was a great experience. Ramiro was a great host. We would have been lost without him. He looked after us nicely and adapted to our needs and timetable. We saw a great game in a stadium packed with chanting fans. Ramiro is very knowledgable and able to answer all our questions and more. Definitly can recommend it
