The Johan Cruijff ArenA Stadium Tour was one of the highlights of our time in Amsterdam. Even if you’re not a huge football fan, the tour is incredibly well done and gives you a behind-the-scenes look at one of Europe’s most iconic stadiums. Walking through the players’ tunnel, sitting in the dugout, and seeing the locker rooms made it feel like you were part of match day. The multimedia displays and stories about Johan Cruyff and the history of AFC Ajax were really interesting and gave great context to the club’s legacy. The staff were friendly, the exhibits were interactive, and the views of the pitch from different areas of the stadium were amazing. It’s a great experience for adults and kids alike. If you’re visiting Amsterdam, this tour is definitely worth adding to your itinerary.

For soccer fans, the Johan Cruyff Arena is one of those must-see temples that absolutely must be visited! There are three types of tours available, from the basic tour to one that includes a scarf and aperitif, taking you to the stadium's key areas, such as the stands, soccer field, benches, press room, and trophy room. The organization is perfect and allows anyone to visit independently, although guided tours are also available. I really enjoyed this experience and recommend it to everyone, especially considering that the stadium is perfectly connected by metro to the city's central station. An absolute must!!!!

An absolutely unmissable experience! My favorite part was discovering Amsterdam's unique architecture from the water, especially at sunset. Passing under historic bridges offers a magical perspective that you can't get on foot. The commentary was very informative, combining historical and cultural anecdotes. It's a peaceful and romantic interlude that allows you to appreciate the charm of the UNESCO-listed canals in complete serenity. I highly recommend it.

First all all, the weather was great, water is claimed so we are very lucky. Secondly, the captain is funny, we have lot of laughs. Lastly, the audio tour is one of the good one that we have been experienced, because it doesn't talk all the time where leave space for people talk and share through

The classic tour was wonderful—everything was very well organized and the staff were super helpful. We loved it! There was just one small thing: the audio guide with the explanations was only available in Basque and English, which was a shame for my companions, but other than that, it was still great!!
