Rio de Janeiro · MARACANã & FOOTBALL
10 reviewed
The Maracanã is hallowed ground for football, and there are two ways in: a behind-the-scenes stadium tour on a quiet day, or a live match with a guide who handles the tickets and gets you there safely. These are the best of each — with what you visit, how long it takes, and what a matchday package includes.
Skip-the-line Maracana ticket that lets you explore locker rooms, warm-up and press areas, and the pitch entrance at your own pace.

Rio de Janeiro match day with an English/Spanish guide from Ipanema: skip ticket lines, 1 drink, and a seat in the stands.
“We were absolutely thrilled with this experience and could not believe the generosity and professionalism of our guide Pedro. He looked out for everyone on the tour and made sure we were okay and well looked after. He gave us personal recommendations for our time in Brazil and we felt as if no question was too much for him. At the end of the match Pedro took us to an area to get a taxi. He stayed with us until our car arrived which took a long time and then checked in that we got home safely. For me this goes above and beyond and we cannot recommend this experience…”
Step into Maracana with a guided 3-hour behind-the-scenes tour: locker rooms, warm-up areas, the field, and legends like Pelé and Zico.
“Having been on football tours in europe before (san siro, nou camp ect), i thought this one was very limited. Thats not the companys or tour guides fault, erica the tour guide was very good and knew alot of info about the stadium, and spoke very good english. I think they should open abit more of this iconic stadium to the public.”
Maracanã match-day with an English guide, guided stadium tour, and a welcome drink, plus skip-the-line entry for Flamengo or Fluminense.
“The guide was so patient as i had many problems with the facial recognition and passport photo. He got me through it eventually. The group was a nice mix of people and they were ok, we had nice chat in a Flamengo bar waiting for people caught in traffic. I got lost in the crowd but was retrieved by WhatsApp. The Brazilians don't wait for anyone and they pushed in front of me. We had an amazing side view of the action. Great atmosphere and the game was a bit tetchy. Never mind, tick the bucket list stadium off.”

“Our family had the absolute best time at the Flamengo soccer game with Fabio! It was truly one of the greatest experiences of our trip—so much fun, incredible energy, and an awesome group to share it with. Fabio made everything easy and exciting, from getting us to the stadium to helping us feel like true fans. The atmosphere was electric, and we loved every minute of it. Highly recommend this tour—an unforgettable night!”
