Mostly great

We had a great time using the card while in the city. It made getting around super easy. The boat cruise and bike rental were so much fun! The down side was not being able to use the card for the train, for the area around the tulip fields, or to get out to see the fortress. We felt limited to just the city and that was frustrating.

Hi,

Thank you for sharing your experience 😊

We’re really glad to hear you enjoyed getting around the city and that the boat cruise and bike rental were highlights of your trip, that’s exactly the kind of experience we love to hear about.

We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding travel beyond the city. The City Card is primarily designed for use within Amsterdam and GVB transport, so we understand it can feel limiting if you’re planning excursions further out.

Thanks again for your review, and we hope you still had a wonderful time overall in Amsterdam 🌷

Very useful card

The all inclusive museum and Publix transportation pass was very helpful. It was clear which museums you still had to book a day or time slot. We were not able to get a bike rental at a convenient location; however we did not book a slot ahead of time. After seeing the crazy local bikers around town we were definitely not disappointed that we did not get a bike! We used the bus system and trams with the card. We used it for 4 museums as well.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience 😊

It sounds like you really made the most of your time in the city and got a good balance between museums and getting around easily, which is exactly what the card is meant to support.

And yes, bikes in Amsterdam can definitely be an adventure on their own 😄 sometimes sticking to public transport is the more relaxed choice!

We really appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed your stay overall .

If you’re staying at or within about 10…

If you’re staying at or within about 10 minutes of Amsterdam Centraal, this card can be a great option since it gives you access to GVB trams, buses, and some trains. However, it doesn’t cover all transport providers which are used in others areas. I’d also recommend to buy it when you arrive rather than in advance, as you might end up paying extra for transport services that aren’t covered.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😊

That’s a really fair point about planning the timing of the purchase and making sure it matches your travel needs. It’s great that you highlighted the importance of understanding the transport network in advance, as it can definitely help visitors get the most value out of the card.

Only 4 Stars because customer service was not helpful, didn't understand my question and only referred to other links. Anyway, I could solve the problem by myself.

Good Value

Great for transit and we were able to get into all the museums and attractions that we had planned on and a few that we just came across. You do need to book timed tickets for some of the more popular attractions but this is easily done on-line. We choose to get hard copy passes and picking them up at at the store at Amsterdam Central was easy and the staff there very helpful.

card made it very convenient

The iAmsterdam card made it very convenient to travel and get into venues. It was not clear what was and was not covered. The card was activated at the train station when we tried to use it for the train; rather than when we actually were able to use it hours later. That made the usable t I me we paid for much shorter.

Hi!

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad to hear the City Card made travelling and accessing venues convenient during your visit.

We’re sorry to hear about the confusion regarding what is included, and especially about the early activation when attempting to use it on the train. We understand how frustrating it must have been to lose valuable time as a result. Please note as communicated on our website and app, the trains from NS and public transport besides GVB within Amsterdam is not covered.

Your feedback is very important and helps us improve how we communicate activation rules and coverage more clearly to avoid situations like this in the future. We hope that you were still able to enjoy your time in Amsterdam.

The best way to visit Amsterdam

We rented a bicycle and enjoyed. It was wonderful to use city pass and visit many museums. If this pass can include taking the train, I'm willing to pay more.

Overall Good! To be Great, Please add Apple/Android Wallet Function!

Lots of great experiences—I like that we can also travel using the tram and subways. However, the QR code is inconvenient to use because you need to have it open and ready. I would much prefer to add it to my Apple wallet, so I can turn it on and off with ease. Since the GVB app does not have this function, I believe iamsterdam will benefit greatly.
