Great touring experience

This is a very handy card. 5 days for 120€ was a good deal if you plan on visiting a lot of the attractions listed on the app. Easy app access when traveling. Be sure to take advantage of the public transportation and as many attractions as possible to make it worth it. Will buy again when traveling to AMS again!

Could’ve included more transport

Not all of the transport is included in the card, which already costs kind of a lot, only one bus from the airport and it was extremely hard to find which one, even the workers at the info desk didn’t know, no transport at all to Zaandam, information about Fabrique de lumière is not clear enough in the description

In conclusion we barely paid off the price, but in general it’s a great idea

Hi!

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the transport coverage and information around airport connections, Zaandam travel options, and experiences such as Fabrique des Lumières were not clear during your visit. Please note that the fare to the airport ant de Zaanse schans is not covered by the city card.

We appreciate you taking the time to share this, as it highlights important areas where clarity and communication can be improved. We’re glad to hear that despite these issues, you still felt the City Card is a great idea overall and that you were able to make use of it during your stay.

Easy to book the museums and canal cruise. Difficult to transfer cards to other people in your party. We had a 3 day train pass which is also good for trams and metro which we were not aware of so did not use the I Amsterdam card for that. Great using Get Your Guide and easy to book with them. Just a note that if you have a train card you do not need the I Amsterdam card.
