Unforgettable night in Rio

Published on Nov, 2024

We had the most amazing night at Botafogo game! Definitely a highlight of our whole trip in Rio. The atmosphere is incredible, it’s a must-do during your visit. Matheus and Gabriel were amazing hosts, ensuring we were all having a great time and getting us where we need to be! Thank you guys for an unforgettable time.

Botafogo vs Flamengo game

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a great experience with the local Botafogo fans. Our guide, Mari, was the greatest guide ever. She showed us around and we had so much fun! A+

A fantastic night that we will always remember!

Published on Jul, 2024

We had the most amazing first night in Rio attending the Botafogo vs Palmeiras football match. Matheus, our guide, was absolutely amazing. Navigating us through 40,000 Brazilian fans was no mean feat!! But he could not have been more helpful with ticketing, logistics and everything else. His passion for Botafogo was infectious and his knowledge of the club (and all the chants!) was second to none. We are now firm Botafogo fans! The atmosphere was absolutely insane, we’ve never witnessed something so incredible in a stadium. Thank you for an amazing night!

Incredible Experience!!!!!

Published on Jun, 2024

Watching a Botafogo game at the Nilton Santos Stadium was one of the best football experiences I've ever had! The Homefans guide was fantastic – very professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure everyone in the group was having a good time. The passion of Botafogo fans is contagious and seeing the team on the field was simply incredible. I recommend this experience to any football fan who wants to experience a game day in an authentic and exciting way. I will definitely book with Homefans again soon!

A great day...

Published on Jun, 2024

I had a great time with our host Matheus. We met up at a local bar, close to Botafogas arena, with an other family from USA, two guys from Manchester and one other guy. Matheus is a dedicated supporter that is fun t o go to a game with. He was helpful to the family, they wanted souvenirs etc. He gave good information about the teams sitiution and whats happen around the arena during a game day. Sorty that the result wasn't better for Botafoga. Many thanks! /Per
