          Discover the incredible Maracanã Stadium and get to know the most important stadium in Brazil. See a collection of relics of the stars who made the history of the temple of world football. You will see the museum, the stands, the warm-up room, locker rooms decorated with shirts of brazilian clubs and the walk on the field the same way players do on every game. Visitors will also be able to see items related to players who have marked their names in the stadium's history. It is not every stadium that has seen two World Cup Finals and one edition of the Olympic Games! There is a lot of history and excitement in the air. You don't have to imagine how the world's biggest stars such as Zico, Pelé and Garrincha played here. You can feel it too! The tour is recommended for the whole family! Get ready for a universe of dreams which will explore all senses with videos, sounds and experiences that will be forever in your memory!

          Great 1/2 day private tour
          We had a great time! Our guide was pleasant and explained a number of things. This was definitely the way for us to experience the falls and forest. The jeep was the perfect way to do this. Fun, small and 1/2 a day was great. If you want a hike, this is not the tour, but if you want to see it and enjoy the views and the basics this is perfect.

          Amazing garden in the middle of the city
          Our guide George was charming, funny and very knowledgeable about all the flora and fauna around us. We thoroughly enjoyed the day out and it would not have been the same if we have gone alone without our guide George.

          Exciting, Beautiful, Rio
          The views were great. The forest was a pleasure to go through. The ride there goes around Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas and on the way back goes through São Conrado, Leblon & Ipanema with incredible views

          A must for soccer fans visiting Rio
          Wonderful Rio soccer experience. I went with my wife and teenage kids. Erica was experienced, kind and funny, and knew exactly what to do and where to go to give everybody the best, safest experience.

          8 hrs in Rio de Janeiro
          The views were amazing. Beautiful beautiful weather. Our tour guide Warley was passionate and quick on his feet. Great guy in explaining both in English and Spanish, switching between both to cater to the groups. (Ps. buy Warley some sunblock, he needs sun protection) To meet our schedule, we were running late for lunch so do bring some mini snacks in case you get hungry.

          Amazing Stadium Energy and Futbol Team Information
          Our guide was amazing ! He came right on time to pick me up. He explained to us background of the Botafogo futbol team. He made sure we were safe at all times and that we stayed as a group. The stadium and energy in the stadium was amazing!

          Oooh LA LA LA
          The tour is worthwhile-not just for the convenience of navigating ticket lines and such, but also for the many tips about best place to take a pic, what local treats to try (Açai!!), etc, but also for the fun-THANK YOU TiTi!!!! Btw-the experience was so good, we even booked a city tour the next day-very worthwhile.

          Well organised and so worthwhile
          The trip was simple and communication was good before it even started. I got picked up, taken to the game and everything was so easy. The guide was very kind and knowledgeable. He did so well to get all of us in the stadium and seated so efficiently. Couldn't recommend more!! Was a great experience!!

          Spectacular fun.
          It was excellent from our pickup at the hotel to our drop-off at a restaurant. Our guide was nice and fun. He looked after us, especially in the forest.

          football coaching
          The sessions were very fun and progressively harder throughout. My children loved it and asking when they are next going back all for a very affordable price. would definitely recommend.

        Our private tour guide Maiko turned out to be a great find - a true football enthusiast whose local knowledge of all things related to Brazilian football was excellent!

        He provided a fascinating and insightful tour of the Maracana Stadium, which was probably the highlight of our holiday. He spoke very good English and was great company.

        Would not hesitate to highly recommend!

        The tour itself lasted about an hour but it's really only four stops -- the entrance hall, a locker room, the stadium, and then a press room. The guides provided a little history, but for the most part, we were left on our own. This is not like stadium tours in the US where you would generally receive a lot of narration and stops on the tour. Still, if you are a sports fan, this checks off one more item on your bucket list.

        the stadium is a must-see during a stay in Rio. However, it is advertised as a guided tour which is completely false. a guide speaks for 2 minutes at the beginning and it is autonomous.
