Traveler reviews
Everything was excellent, except for the guide.
The pickup and transportation were good. The structure of the tour and the places visited were excellent. Duration and coordination of the trip were very good. The only downside of the trip was the attitude of the guide assigned to us, named Thiago. He knew a lot about the tour, but his disposition was not the most appropriate. We indicated that we were very eager for the tour, which was one of the main trips to Buenos Aires, but most of the time he seemed annoyed doing his job. We tried to converse and share information with him, and he responded in a curt and almost rude manner. He complained constantly; it seemed that he did not like his job. The last comment he made at the River stadium was: 'I would love to stay seated and not go with you because I have been here hundreds of times.' We were able to share a few minutes with another guide at the stadium, and the treatment with his tourists was completely different. When our guide tried to change his attitude, the trip was already ending; it was too late.
I'm so happy I did this tour
This a wonderful experience. You get to see the museum of Boca Jr and River Plate. Not just that, but also see both stadiums. Although I would recommend that you understand Spanish (dont have to be fluent). Lucky for me, it wasnt an issue. Diego was a wonderful guide. He added an extra activity where he showed me around the famous streets of La Boca (near Boca Jr Stadium). He also gives you facts about other attactions that you pass along the way. I was picked up from my hotel :) 10/10 recommend
Great football experience
My Dad and I did the 'Two Stadiums - Boca and River Tour'. There were only the two of us and our host Diego, I am not sure if this was by design or due to lack of uptake but overall it made for a much more personalised experience. We were picked up from our accommodation by our guide Diego in his car and driven to and between both Stadiums. Boca first then River. Diego was very knowledgeable and gave us great insights on the various areas of Buenos Aires that we passed through as well as Argentine history in general. At both Stadiums we did the museum tour (River's is much more professionally set up than Boca!) which including access to the stadiums themselves. Diego was great at translating and giving us insights into the history and culture of both clubs, as both clubs have their museums/tours in Spanish only. In La Boca we walked around parts of the local area, where Diego told us about the culture of the area and the history. At River, unlike Boca, you have to tag onto the official club tour for Stadium access, but it was great to have Diego on hand to help us navigate and translate the tour. The tour lasts about 5-6 hours by the time you travel to and between each stadium so bringing your own food/refreshments is definitely advised! Also you get the time/location quite late the day before so don't panic! Diego was a great guy and we enjoyed spending time with him. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone interested in Argentine football or culture.
Excellent experience
Pablo gave us a very complete tour of both stadiums and surroundings. The walk was very good but Pablo's attention and willingness made it a great experience.
