Boca, the Bombonera & Maradona Tour

The club, the stadium, the idol. The Holy Trinity. Boca Juniors and the Bombonera are synonymous with each other, the renowned "chocolate box" ground adding to one of the world's most famous clubs, and vice versa.
And of course their mythology is compounded by the legend of Maradona.

La Boca
Join us in the famous port barrio of La Boca where we'll visit the Alberto J Armando stadium, better know as the Bombonera - widely accepted as the world's most famous ground.
Its incredible matchday atmosphere, unique design and maximum 46° inclination create a vertical wall of fans that mean a visit here is on every football fan's bucket-list.

And of course it's impossible to talk about Boca without focusing on El Diez (the 10), Maradona through his own cult of personality created an exotic allure around the club that's hard to match anywhere else in the world.

Make a day of it? 
Why not try our Maradona Roots Tour in La Paternal in the afternoon after finishing in La Boca? (use the code Cancha10 for a discount of doing both).

Why come with Pibe?
The official Bombonera tour includes only a few words in English, and groups can reach 50+ guests. With Pibe de Barrio you'll have a reduced group (up to 10) and an experienced bilingual guide to make sure you get the most out of the visit to the "Templo" (temple).

We also have a special Maradona-themed route for a walking tour through La Boca so you can see this football-mad barrio through a football lens to properly understand it.
