What a trip it was for us in Istanbul. It has been on my list for a while and I was even more amazed than what I was expecting.
Ogulçan and Yagiz have made it so we would enjoy every minute of it. From a nice cruise over the Bosphorus to murals hunting in Besiktas and Fenerbahçe. We even took the luxurious opportunity to attend a second game in the weekend, as Besiktas were playing home too. What I thought would be a warm up to the derby in Besiktas turned into a madness show as well!
Derby day was so intense as well. We were immersed in what Turkish football does best in the short side section of Fener's stadium where the hosts secured our tickets. Always felt safe with the company of our superb hosts.
Turkish stadiums and atmosphere are pretty under rated by a lot of ppl. It definitely belongs in the top 3 best stadium atmospheres in the world. And football on the pitch is quite good too.
The trip led by Yagiz & Ogulçan was absolutely superb. We went for drinks on the Friday night and then on top of the amazing matchday experience getting us booked into a highly sought after Fenerbahce bar/restaurant they got us to the game safely and in plenty of time but close up to the action, we lit flares and were behind the goal where the traditional atmosphere was although the whole stadium was bouncing. What an experience! We also went down the bosphorus River between Europe and Asia on the Saturday which was an unexpected but very appreciated addition to the trip, thanks guys again!
Brilliant experience! We where 2 guys traveling to Paris to watch PSG - Lorient. We were very unsure about this "Matchday experience" but could not have been happier with it! If you are unsure about buying this while reading this, don't be! Everything was unproblematic. A few days beforehand we got added to a Whatsapp group where every kind of information was sendt. Alex is an amazing guy and guide. He met us a few hours before the match and took us on a short trip around Paris before he bought us dinner. When we arrived to the stadium Alex told us a lot about how and what the PSG fans thought about the club, players etc... The whole experience was great, we got to watch and amazing game. Messi, Mbappe and Neymar goal! Everything was perfect and I made a new friend in Paris!
I sincerely recommend this to EVERYONE! Do not hesitate!
10/10.

At the start of 2020, I decided to return to South America to go to the holy grail for every lover of football culture: Buenos Aires. And although this trip had been my dream for over a decade and my expectations were mighty high, it still surpassed my expectations by a thousand miles. The Cinco Grandes, the smaller stadiums and the fecha de los clásicos; this journey had it all. If I knew I had only 3 weeks to live, I would purchase the Ultimate Argentina by Homefans again without thinking twice.
A big word of thanks goes to Alvaro and Valentín, the Homefans trip managers in Buenos Aires. I am aware that my plan to see as many matches as possible was a tremendous challenge, but these guys managed to unburden me with their excellent service throughout the entire trip. They both deserve a wellness arrangement :). In addition, Alvaro and Valentín are more than just sales reps. They truly care about the travelers and they assure the complete Argentinian experience by joining us at a typical bar or restaurant for example. Can't thank you guys enough!
Niccolò and Simone were the best possinle hosts, talking with us abiut their city, their food, their culture and their football. Had a great meal together and then thd match was fantastic, one of the best atmospheres I have ever seen. Definitely recommend!
