25 years old brazilian soccer lover. Ever since I was a child the soccer stadiums always attracted me, what made me an afficioned for the sport! I am sure that you will be very happy to meet and know more about the classic stadiums, streets and world of the brazilian soccer.
Pedro was our guide for a Fluminese game at the Maracana. We couldn't have had a better experience- Pedro was welcoming, friendly and insightful. We felt completely safe whilst also having a really fun time. The matchday experience is incredible. I would 100% recommend going to a game with Pedro when visiting Rio.

An absolutely incredible night seeing a Fluminense/Vasco match at historic Maracanã — I would say that this was “once-in-a-lifetime,” but I have no doubt that I’ll be back in Rio and will sign up for another Fluminense match with Pedro when I do.
He was an amazing host — kind, welcoming, and looked out for our safety at all parts of the night. He taught us the history of the club, the rivalries, and sitting deep in the “fan section” was an experience I’ll never forget (we left drenched in baby powder and beer in the best way possible). The cost included some drinks, food, match tickets, and Ubers at the end of the night to ensure we all got SAFELY back to Copacabana as a group.
Special thanks as well to Pedro’s friend Rafaella and Pedro's brother too, who were instrumental in making sure we had fun and were safe and together as a group. I will absolutely return for another game (in my Fluminense jersey of course, and with some improved Portugese to go along with it); I consider Pedro my Brazilian brother now, and hope to return the favor at Yankee Stadium in NYC sometime soon! You won’t regret this 10-out-of-10 experience in Rio.
To be honest, I've been sceptical about booking via homefans and go to the Fla-Flu-Derby with a tour guide. But I was desperated, common tickets were sold out and I at all cost wanted to get into the legendary Maracana. So I gave it a try - and really got surprised. Pedro not only was one of the nicest guys I've ever met, he also really is a passionate Fan of Fluminense, taught me a lot about Brazilian football culture and gave me and my girlfriend the best experience: we drank beer with the locals, he even got us into the supporters section (he seem to know everyone) and booked us a taxi back to our hostel. He really took care of us. The atmosphere was outstanding, a football match I will remember for a long time. I normally don't write reviews, but if someone deserve it then Pedro. Give him your money - you won't regret it.
I visited the maracana to watch fluminense vs vasco de gama with Pedro, it was a fantastic day, infact one of the most memorable following football, not just the stadium and fans but pedro’s knowledge of fluminense and the Brazilian game was second to none. A fantastic host and couldn’t have ask for a better day. Thank you Pedro I would definitely recommend if you’re going to a fluminense game!

We went with a group of 12 friends together with our guide Pedro and his brother to the derby game Fluminese-Botafoga last week! I can still feel the rush and excitement when I think back on it! This was an experience I will remember all my life. First of all I would like to thank homefans! Everything from planning, questions and payment went very smooth! This organization is the best if you would like to see a football game abroad! They got me in contact with Pedro (our local host and Ultra fan of Fluminese)! I contacted Pedro for some extra questions before the game and he was super responsive and enthusiastic! He picked us up at the hotel to go pre-gaming in the streets around Maracana. So much fun to be among the real fans! Entering Maracana for me was as stepping in football heaven! Such a memorable temple!!! He found us some great ‘seats’ (nobody’s sitting! 😂😂) among the Fluminese Ultras! We sang , drank and jumped all match! So much fun! Pedro explained us the history of the club, why he’s so fanatic and his love of the game! I’m a big football fan, but my American friends never saw a match in person! Everybody (girls and boys) still say this was the highlight of our Brazilian trip!
This is a must do! Pedro thank you for the amazing experience! We’ll stay in touch!!! Homefans thank you for setting this up!
