The train journey to the airport is ideal. A little downside on the tickets via the app... on the outward journey, we had printed them out but on the return journey we went through the app and it didn't work because as soon as we approached the phone with the QR code, it triggered Apple Pay!!!! We had to ask an agent to open it for us...

Tickets were ready to go instead of managing selections after long flights and it was a two minute wait for the train on the platform. One less headache to manage. Perfect!

Ticket was easily accessible through the app. However, it was hard to scan the QR code at the arriving station until I fully covered the QR code scanner with my phone. Seems like it was detecting the apply pay before the QR code.

We didn't have an "experience," it was supposed to be a two way ticket from the airport to a stop nearest our hotel. There was no-one to advise when we arrived at the airport; There WAS NO GUIDE; We were not told where the "bus interchange' was; We found our own way because it was well signposted at the airport, and had to look up the bus route ourselves. When we found the right bus, we attempted to scan the tickets on our phones. Unfortunately I'm not sure anything was registered and we effectively rode for free. All instructions on the bus by the driver, were in Dutch, so we had to listen very carefully as we neared our destination for the correct stop. This was a stressful experience because we do not speak Dutch, and we were new to the country, having only just arrived. It wasn't a good start and have no idea what to do when we leave Amsterdam to come home. The overall experience did not match the expectations you set for us as travellers, and therefore it has to be seen overall as an unacceptable experience provided by your company. Our mobile phones were more useful in helping us to our destination than anything you provided.

The large selection of different ways to organize your day. I think it's a shame that many interesting sights have to be booked online in advance to get a ticket. We couldn't visit the van Gogh Museum because we didn't get a ticket.

I purchased the 24 hours I Amsterdam City Card (Booking ID: 23625512). On iamsterdam.com, the 24 hours card is "discounted" for €59, but it seems that I paid the full price of €65. I inquired about a possible refund for the price difference on March 9 and followed up on March 24, but I never received a response.

The train journey to the airport is ideal. A little downside on the tickets via the app... on the outward journey, we had printed them out but on the return journey we went through the app and it didn't work because as soon as we approached the phone with the QR code, it triggered Apple Pay!!!! We had to ask an agent to open it for us...

The whole activation process was misleading. And the QR code of the ticket was not always recognized immediately, so you had to use your cell phone several times via the scanner at the metro entrance. But when it worked, the whole thing was great.

Beautiful city I particularly liked the Anselm Kiefer exhibition and the super organized streetcar ride. We only found out after two days that you can get off the tram with a credit card. I think that's great, better than in Paris. A rather complicated system has now been introduced there and the fare is relatively expensive.

Tickets very easy to get. What's more, the driver spotted us from a distance and asked us (by sign) if we were taking the bus and waited for us.

Very convenient bus to get to downtown quickly, the qr was not scanned but the driver told us there were no problems because he had already seen the tickets.

The train journey to the airport is ideal. A little downside on the tickets via the app... on the outward journey, we had printed them out but on the return journey we went through the app and it didn't work because as soon as we approached the phone with the QR code, it triggered Apple Pay!!!! We had to ask an agent to open it for us...

Tickets were ready to go instead of managing selections after long flights and it was a two minute wait for the train on the platform. One less headache to manage. Perfect!
