The Johan Cruyff Tour at Ajax Amsterdam Stadium is a truly great day out and is an absolute must-have on all football fans bucket lists.

From ascending the escalators the moment the tour starts, the experience is magnificent. The club is locally referred to as de Godenzonen, or the Sons of Gods. For us football fans, the reference is obvious - they are one of the most import clubs in European and world football.

These are the actual changing rooms where the current team actually prepares to play. It's a privilege to see the modern facilities and to catch a glimpse of the space that true legends of the game will hold sacred. 

Walking on to the pitch through the tunnel is truly a phenomenal feeling, especially having dreamt about such an experience from young age. The energy of the stadium can be felt even without the fans filling the seats.

It was entertaining spotting unique photos of true Ajax legends around the stadium. I particularly love the young Dennis Bergkamp picture and a celebrating Patrick Kluivert. 

The pinnacle of the tour for me was doing a role play of a player/manager in an interview scenario. It was cool because it was the actual spot that the players and managers reflect live on pre and post games. 

Like any tour, finishing off in a gift shop is standard! It was particularly difficult to resist something from this shop.
