What we will do

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.

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.

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.
