A must-see experience for all soccer fans! The tour of the Johan Cruijff ArenA is exceptionally well-organized and immediately immerses you in Ajax’s culture and philosophy. Here’s what stood out most to me during the tour: Access to the official locker room: Taking a seat where the players sit and experiencing the pre-game preparations is the highlight of the tour. Entering through the players’ tunnel: Walking through the tunnel to the sound of the fans’ chants and emerging onto the edge of the field is a thrilling experience and makes for some great photo opportunities. The Hall of Fame: The exhibition beautifully traces Johan Cruyff’s legacy, the concept of “total football,” and the major European trophies won by the club.

Choose between flexible self-guided visits, customised guided tours, VIP packages with luxury perks, off-season tours, and exclusive access to Ajax’s inner world.

The self-guided tour lets you explore freely, with access to tunnels, dugouts, and Ajax Gallery, plus themed options like ArenA x Heineken or Birthday Tours.

On the guided tour, enjoy personalised insights from your guide, sitting in the dugouts, and a 10% discount at the fanshop.

We really enjoyed the stadium, and looking around at our leisure. Waa particularly impressed with the changing rooms and trophies. The only downside was when tour party's went around there was no consideration for others, not part of the tour.
