Our group had a brilliant time watching Botafogo beat São Paulo.
Matheus was a great host. Communication was perfect and we were well looked after the whole day.
I would highly recommend this to anyone with a love of football.
Hope to visit again soon!

I would highly recommend booking a tour with Matheus! We had the best experience with him, he showed us what it was like to go to a game as a real Botafogo fan and took great care of us. The game itself was incredible, but knowing where to hang out before the game and where to sit was just as important and we wouldn't have been able to do that alone. If you are thinking of going to a game I would highly recommend booking this tour. Matheus is a great guy and his passion for the game is obvious.
Matheus is such a lovely host who explained a lot of the history behind the derby. He was also very accomodating with any questions
We had great seats and were right next to the Botafogo ultras. You can feel the passion and support is truly next level. Even though Botafogo sadly lost, the energy was incredible. I came home a Botafogo fan!
Highly recommended!

I came to the game with fairly low expectations, I'd wanted to go to Flamengo game the night before at the Maracana, but unforuntately couldn't with a flight delay. There was one option and that was to go to Botofogo and I am so so glad I did. It was amazing.
Matheus really cares deeply about ensuring you have the best possible experience. The guy lives and breathes Botofogo, a club enshrined in history, if not silverware recently. It's not just a game for him, it's about his family and friends.
The game was on at the Olympic stadium, which again, I low expectations, but the atmosphere was incredible. He had us right in with the ultras. The fans couldn't have been friendlier as I think they appreciate people coming not just to Maracana and Flamengo, but to see their traditions and culture.
In terms of safety and ease, it couldn't have been better. Super smooth pickup, and he even texted me to ensure I got home ok, with transport he organised. If you're in Rio for a week, definitely get to a Botofogo game with a real local football experience.
It was for me the first time in Rio de Janeiro and this day was the only day with good weather so I went with Matheus together to Christ the Redeemer and after to the Botafogo game. It was a really nice day! The trip to Christ, the Botafogo match. Matheus is a very cool guy, he helped me a lot the whole day and he took his responsibilities so everything went fine with the tickets and transports. I have a good experience! Next time when I will be in Rio de Janeiro to watch football games again I will see Matheus not only as my host, but also as a good friend!
