Written by the company

The love of football in Argentina is ubiquitous, infectious, and it’s the reason for our snowballing obsession with going to matches in Buenos Aires and beyond at every opportunity - and also the reason we decided to find a way to share that with you through our Argentinian Football Matchday Experiences. We want as many people as possible to experience the feeling of royalty sitting in the crumbly concrete thrones with rusted metal armrests of Huracán’s Palacio Ducó. We want you to feel the same sense of belonging in the people’s paradise of Racing’s Cilindro, and to witness the history and grandeur of River Plate’s Monumental. We are determined to share the bucket-list moment that is standing on the terraces of La Bombonera with Boca’s La 12.

The trip was unforgettable

The trip was unforgettable. I always felt well taken care of with our guide. Santi constantly made sure that we were comfortable and looked after throughout the journey. Through this experience, we gained a great insight into Argentine football culture. I can only recommend that everyone takes a trip like this at least once in their lifetime.

Horrible experience!

Horrible experience, getting in the pitch late, the guide was lost and we missed the first goal because the tickets didn’t arrive on time! Not a serious business!

Hi Katy/Matthew

Your group arrived late and didn't show up to the defined meeting point, it's unfair to claim the guide was "lost" as he was trying to locate you among thousands of people pre-match. The issues with delivering the tickets were a result of that.
We refunded your group anyway due to the late entry, so to then read this review is what appears to not be serious.

We had an amazing time attending a Boca Juniors match with our guide Theo. Everything was perfectly organized and easy from start to finish. Theo is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about Boca and Argentine football. He made us feel safe and fully immersed in the incredible atmosphere of La Bombonera. It was a unique and unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!

Sean made a fantastic evening for us.

Sean made a fantastic evening for us. Lots of clear instructions before we met and he was quick to respond to any odd questions. What was impressive was that we were a group of 9 but he had all of our backs and constantly made sure we were informed and safe. That said, there was never a second that we felt uneasy and the evenings experience and the atmosphere was unbelievable. If only someone could teach Boca to play football - the game was dire. Thanks Sean, an amazing experience.

Great experience

I went to Boca match yesterday evening, and it was a really enjoyable experience. Our guide Sean did a great job of getting us into the ground, and we also had a bite to eat and a beer beforehand. Sean knows his football, and I had a good chat with him about it. I would encourage anyone visiting BA to try and take in a Boca game...incredible atmosphere!

Fabian made our Boca Juniors match an unforgettable experience. He was funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and his passion and energy for the match were completely infectious. He also went above and beyond by being mindful of my son’s food allergy when ordering empanadas at the bar, which meant a lot to us as parents. If you want an authentic, fun, and well-run matchday experience, Fabian is your guy. Couldn’t recommend him more highly!

great guide, great experience

Sean was a great guide, whole experience was very well planned and coordinated, had plenty of time before the match to get drinks/snacks and enjoy some of the build up. Got into the stadium in good time too and decent seats. Atmosphere was amazing during the game, definitely worth doing!
