Juan was our guide for the first leg of the Copa Libertadores match between Boca Juniors and Racing. He was absolutely amazing!
He picked us up at a meeting point near the Obelisco and clearly explained the steps we needed to follow to get into the stadium. He also took us to a typical "previa" to have a beer before the match, which was a great way to experience the pre-game atmosphere.
Once we got to the stadium, Juan accompanied us to our seats and made sure we knew where everything was. He also waited for us outside the stadium after the match, where we enjoyed a traditional Argentine choripán.
It was clear that Juan and the other staff members were very familiar with the stadium and its surroundings. They were also very attentive to our needs and made sure we had a great experience.
I highly recommend Juan as a guide for any Boca Juniors match. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. You won't be disappointed!
Here are some specific things that I liked about Juan's service:
He was on time and well-organized.
He was very knowledgeable about the stadium and its history.
He was friendly and approachable.
He went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience.
Wow! I've been to stadiums all around the world - nothing has compared to this experience. I will break it into two parts.
First, going to see Boca Juniors at La Bombonera in a Copa Libertadores match was simply incredible. As a tourist from the US, without homefans I wouldn't even know where to begin on getting a ticket and getting into the game, and this was a seamless process. The passion of the fans, both at the pre-game, where we all enjoyed a few beverages in the neighborhood around the stadium, and the actual game in the legendary Bombonera - everything was simply incredible and something I won't ever forget. It lived up to, and surpassed, the hype. After the game, Juan and team navigated us back through the neighborhood where we enjoyed a delicious choripan and headed back into the central area where we went our separate ways.
Second, and I think arguably more important, was the host. Juan and his team were able to organize, inform, and involve a group of over 15 through this crazy, incredible atmosphere. What a guy. When I had to cancel an originally planned game due to flight disruption, Juan proactively helped me figure out a way to get to this game instead. During the actual match, you could feel his passion, and could tell he's been going to these games for over 20 years. I never once felt lost or out of place - he made us feel as if we were regulars at the games and pre-game. He clearly lives and breathes blue and gold. Lastly, when my friend left his phone on the bus after the game, Juan not only found it, but packaged up and helped get the phone delivered to my friend in the middle of his work week. I really can't say enough good things about him.
If you are in Buenos Aires and Boca Juniors is playing at home, you NEED to go to a game with Juan. Seriously, one of the most incredible guys I've ever met, and I look forward to going to a Boca Juniors game with him again next time I'm in BA. Thank you again Juan!
I'm from the US and have been following Boca for over 13 years and have always dreamed of getting to know La Bombonera and go to a match. It is nearly impossible to get a ticket to see Boca, and I am extremely happy that I decided to use Homefans and go specifically with Juan. He was an amazing host.
Juan picked us up downtown and took us to the stadium. We went to the previa (pregame) where we watched the festivities and chants. Then we headed to the stadium where we took pictures and were able to buy some gear at a good price. Juan and Co made the entrance process extremely simple and worry-free. After the match, Juan got us some of the best choripanes I have ever eaten, and then he took us back to where we were picked up from (so we didn't have to worry about transportation at all).
The match I attended was a Copa Libertadores match and it was one to remember. Boca truly is the most passionate fanbase in the world. Juan went above and beyond for me and, without going to much into detail, he gave me a once in a lifetime experience at La Bombonera. The experience was well worth the price. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience.
Juan and his are fantastic hosts.
They are welcoming and friendly, and you can't help but get wrapped up in their passion and enthusiasm.
They are true, Boca fans that really help you get the most out of your matchday experience, to the point that you come away feeling like a true Boca fan yourself.
Brilliant seats, so you can witness everything that you have heard about Boca Juniors at La Bombonera.
Whether you are a football fan or not, I would highly recommend this authentic Argentine matchday experience.
Thanks, Juan, for a great night.
Juan is the perfect host for a unique experience at La Bombonera. He is friendly and experienced at securing a safe and unique time at La Bombonera and everything comes with the best seats in the whole stadium. A must do for every football fan.
