Amsterdam Ajax Football Match with City Highlights Tour

Walk Amsterdam's iconic streets, then cheer Ajax on from the stands of the Johan Cruijff Arena — all with a local fan by your side.


This Ajax Amsterdam football tour blends an intimate city walk through Amsterdam's most celebrated landmarks with a live match experience at one of Europe's most storied football stadiums. You are joined throughout by a passionate local guide who brings both the city and the club to life.

The route takes in the canals, historic squares, and neighbourhood scenes that define Amsterdam's character, giving you a genuine sense of the place before the match-day energy takes over.

The stadium leg places you beside your guide in the stands, surrounded by supporters who live and breathe the Ajax-DNA that produced legends such as Johan Cruijff, Marco van Basten, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
