All tram people were very friendly and helpful. It would be helpful to have a map on the phone describing all lines and maybe a journey planner with directions.

The GVB ticket is really great. There were four of us, but when we visited the same website to book online, we were shown three different prices. (?) We also wanted to combine our ticket with the P&R rates, but that wasn’t possible, so we had to pay the full parking fee.

The code display on my phone didn't always work the same way under the scanner on the bus and tram, or rather, it caused the scanner to light up green to confirm. But whenever I had questions, the friendly drivers and tram attendants were always there to help. Public transportation in Amsterdam is really well organized.

The staff were very helpful and friendly, so we were able to easily take all the routes we wanted. For a weekend day, the buses and trams weren’t too crowded, and the frequency of service was great. We highly recommend that everyone get a day pass.

Honestly such a solid combo. The GVB pass made getting around the city on the trams so easy and saved a ton of hassle. The canal cruise was super chill too, it was really nice to just sit back and see the city from the water after walking around all day. Definately worth doing.

Navigate Amsterdam effortlessly for 1–4 days using GVB trams, metros, and ferries with this digital, tap-and-go mobile pass.
