Absolutely a very, very good experience! Very comprehensive, and everything we saw and learned was very interesting. The guide did an excellent job, with great knowledge and willingness to answer any question; his passion for the team was remarkable. I recommend it 100%!

We came to Lisbon to see the city and its monuments, and to top it off, we spent a few hours touring Benfica's stadium. It was the icing on the cake, spending two hours immersed in the football atmosphere of one of the world's greatest teams, both past and present. Entering from the stands was thrilling, and the tour then continued inside through the locker rooms and press room, before heading back onto the pitch by the benches. To our surprise, we found ourselves face-to-face with the team's mascots... the two great eagles... waiting to take flight over the pitch. Truly exciting... To wrap up, we visited the museum, filled with countless trophies and historical memorabilia. It was a wonderful experience.

We did the tour yesterday as a family. Booking was very easy and hassle-free. We received a very friendly welcome at the stadium. Tours run multiple times a day. We had a wonderful young lady guiding us who answered all our questions brilliantly. It was absolutely amazing, with plenty of real goosebump moments when we entered the players' dressing rooms, the tunnel leading out to the pitch, or onto the sidelines. And above all, in our opinion, it was great value for money. We definitely recommend the tour and would do it again in a heartbeat! 👍

The tour had a flexible schedule, and we were greeted by the stadium staff who were so welcoming. Our tour guide, Prince, was a breath of fresh air. He had an incredible understanding of the sport and Portugal's greatest players. It was truly a VIP tour of the stadium. We will recommend this tour to all our friends.

Very well organized and extremely complete. The museum is one of the best I have ever visited, the guide was great, and they take you to every corner of the stadium. I support another team, but I loved the experience....
