A wonderful experience together with the passionate Fluminense fans that you do not want to miss when staying in Rio de Janeiro. Marcelo is the perfect guide into the incredible atmosphere at Maracaná: Friendly and reliable – highly recommended. Muito obrigado, Marcelo!

Absolutely brilliant! Football and Brazil go hand in hand, so seeing a match live here was a lifelong dream of mine—and it certainly didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere was electric. Watching Fluminense fans gather in the stadium before kick-off, singing for the team as the players warmed up, was something special. You just don’t get that back in England. And walking into the Maracanã with facial recognition tech? Properly impressive. No queues, no faffing with paper tickets or QR codes—just seamless. Snagging a Thiago Silva souvenir cup was the cherry on top!

I went with Marcelo to Maracanã Stadium. It was a complete experience. We had fun on the lively Rio metro, arrived at Maracanã with ease, started drinking beer, and soon watched Fluminense win 4-0. The stadium wasn’t packed, but the crowd was incredibly energetic. The drums and chants were electrifying. I don’t even know what else to say: Rio de Janeiro, Carnival, and Football. I returned home fulfilled. Thank you, Marcelo. More than a guide, a friend.
