I know that about a year ago, there was a thread on going to a futbol match. It was suggested that tourists use some service, like gofootbal, to see a game. I am wondering just how unsafe/scary/difficult/etc. it is for people (well, me and husband) who don't speak much more than basic Spanish, and don't understand soccer, to go to a game, get relatively good seats, and enjoy ourselves?
The trip isn't until November, and I've checked the schedule and there should be a game on the 13th of that month. I know that's far into the future, but perhaps a third option is to attend the game with someone who knows all the ins and outs....Any takers?
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated....Gracias!
One option you may have to find an individual to go with, rather than a tour group, is to put the inquiry to WowArgentina! (I recall you were looking into them and I recall they do low-profile stuff like this.) Another option is to ask the folks at
Cicerones de Buenos Aires. I'm sure you could get takers from there. They gave us a wonderful companion to help guide us to and around the Feria de Mataderos one Sunday, all free of charge, although we naturally paid for cabs and her meals.
