The experience

The tour starts at La Bombonera, Boca Juniors' stadium, where a guide walks you through the museum and the stories of the club's legendary players: Maradona, Riquelme and others who shaped Argentine football. You stand inside the stadium itself, feeling the scale of a place that has held countless matches and the weight of the club's history. From there, transport takes you to Caminito, the open-air neighborhood in La Boca where street art, tango dancers and local artisans fill the colorful streets. The area is thick with tributes to Maradona and the culture of the barrio.

Lunch happens at Lo de Diego, a theme bar dedicated to Maradona, where you eat Argentine food and drink surrounded by memories of the idol. Then the route continues to El Monumental, River Plate's stadium in Nuñez: the largest in South America, holding 85,000 fans. A guide takes you through the River Plate Museum, then onto the pitch itself, through the grandstands, the substitute bench and the changing rooms, so you move through the spaces the players occupy on match days. Transport back to your starting point closes the tour.
