As part of my trip to Rio in January, I couldn't miss visiting such a traditional club with a historic stadium. Would highly recommend this tour and the guide Gabriel. The atmosphere at a Vasco game is really awesome. You can see how passionate the fans of Vasco are for their team and football in general. I would love to go back to another Vasco game someday!
