Rubbish

Our tour guide never showed up we were left standing at a metro station for a hour had to get taxi to maracana stadium had no guide to show us around ,it was supposed to be for 3hours at tour and it was less than that We had to go around ourselves.I will be contacting customer services to demand refund

Response from the operator: Sorry to hear about your experiences Esther. The original booking was canceled, and we didn't receive confirmation of the second booking from Viator for this tour hence the misunderstanding. You should have received the refund.

Guided tour of the Maracaná Stadium in Rio

Hire the tour to the Maracaná Stadium through Booking. But I did not expect to have such personalized and friendly attention from the Guide, Matheus Butrucci, who gave us a detailed tour of the stadium facilities, and explained all the details of the interior museum. I recommend Matheus for the tour because he allowed us to have a pleasant and unforgettable experience.

Awesome Experience

I booked this tour with Matheus and had a great day to learn more about the Brazilian football history at the Maracanã. Matheus was very friendly and speaks good English. Would recommend this tour!

Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.

How much does Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local cost?

+

Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local take?

+

Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.

Is Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 5. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Stadium Stories & Food: Join a Maracanã stadium tour with a Local start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?

+

On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
