It was a lovely visit; we had a wonderful time with our children. It was like going back about 25 years to relive the best moments of AJAX.

An amazing experience! 5☆ It was a birthday gift for my 14-year-old son, who’s an Ajax fan.🥳 Warm welcome at the reception desk, a sign listing VIP guests, an Ajax scarf, and a friendly tour guide. We got to see every part of the stadium, enjoyed non-alcoholic drinks in the VIP lounge, and chatted about the history of this magnificent building. With the VIP ticket, you get a 10% discount at the Ajax store. Highly recommended!👌

A knowledgeable and friendly guide. It was a great experience to go "backstage," see the locker rooms, and hear all the stories behind the design. Awesome stadium—we can't wait to come back today for the game ⚽️🏟️

The Johan Cruijff Arena tour in Amsterdam is an absolute must-do! From start to finish, it’s a fantastic experience for football fans and even those just curious about the behind-the-scenes of a world-class stadium. Walking through the players’ tunnel and sitting in the dugout really makes you feel part of the action. The dressing rooms and trophy displays are incredibly interesting, especially learning about Ajax’s rich history and legendary players. Out guide, Aidan, is knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, which makes the whole tour even more engaging. Everything is well-organized, interactive, and easy to follow.

One of the best experiences on our soccer field tour. On this occasion, the club gave us a person who spoke Spanish perfectly. Tim was a great host, knowing perfectly the history of his club and football in general. We were at home, as if we had known him all our lives. Always with a big smile and with a great treatment to all the colleagues he met. Thank you very much Ajax!! Good luck!!
