A must for travel in Amsterdam, we bought the pass for 4 days and it made it so much simpler to get around the city. The app was also helpful to plot routes and see live times of all routes. Travelling with a pram all staff members were supportive and helpful.

GVB in Amsterdam offers a seamless public transportation experience. The well-connected network of trams, buses, and metros ensures easy exploration of the city's attractions. Clean and well-maintained vehicles, along with friendly staff, contribute to a positive travel experience. An excellent choice for navigating Amsterdam's vibrant streets.

The GVB buses are wheelchair accessible. The drivers of the number 22 bus service are very helpful and accommodating. I found it to be the most reliable wheelchair-accessible transport in the Netherlands, especially for powered wheelchairs. Great service.

This is the public transit system that serves this city very well. Wait times are short, the rides are comfortable and safe. Trams, buses, and a small Metro, all very modern. You buy a card and load it with Euros and then debit it each time you board and exit. There are also daily passes available. The tram conductors can provide directions if they are not too busy.

The system is generally quite efficient. Took quite some time in advance of traveling to Amsterdam to understand the ticket system. For tourists traveling around the downtown area, would recommend getting the GVB day passes (blue & white) for the number of days that you are there - passes can be purchased for 24h, 48h, 72h etc The 24h, 48h and 72h hr passes are the easiest ones to purchase from the blue and white machines sprinkled around the city. These are a little more convenient to use but you can also purchase these on the GVB app but you need to use your cell phone for tapping on and tapping off. The advantage of the GVB passes over the Amsterdam travel passes are that there are valid for the number of hours purchased from the time of activation and are cheaper. The Amsterdam travel passes are only valid for the number of days purchased and expire at midnight. While the travel passes do allow you to travel from Schipfol airport, if you're not traveling to the airport everyday, it's likely not worth the extra $. You can buy the Connexion 397 bus transport from the airport for under 7e. The Amsterdam and regional travel pass is similar to the Amsterdam travel pass but also allows you to travel outside the downtown core to the surround region. Various apps provide you with where and which trams/buses/metro that you need to take including Google Maps. You need to tap on and tap off as you enter/exit transit. Watch the electronic screens for the upcoming stop. Push the red stop button before the stop that you need to get off at. Make sure you get off at an exit door and push the green button near the exit door to open the door after you have tapped off. The conductors aren't always as helpful as they should be....don't they realize that tourists bring in significant revenue into the City?!?! They can also be quite impatient if people are taking too long to get on.

Brought the Group Ticket (up to 5 people travelling together) from the GVB app, it cost £22 for 24 hours. When purchased I had to use the ticket within 30 days. However once purchased I did NOT activate the ticket but did this 15 mins before reaching Amsterdam, this enabled us to get the most from the ticket. Tickets were stored in the GVB app ready to be used. We certainly got our monies worth. One criticism is that you had to individually scan in/out each ticket. Otherwise it was fantastic. The trams and underground were simple to use and efficient.
