Our guests describe this tour as the highlight of their trip, surpassing the matches. It's the perfect mix of activities, being both informative and highly entertaining.

BA has more teams than any other city globally - understand the connection between the neighbourhoods and their teams with a stadium tour & on-pitch penalties at a historic club that grew along with the city.

Football is not just professional, we'll also visit a club de barrio - the local social clubs where the communities join together, and local life revolves around football - with an unmissable authentic Argentine Asado to celebrate new friendships.

Optional: Don't miss the chance to create your own Cancha-style matchday banner - we'll visit a renowned Spray-paint artist who has a lifetime of combining art with football for all the big teams.
