Best investment while visiting Amsterdam. I discovered so many placed I would not have known about if it wasn't for the card. And the money is so worth it when booked for multiple days. I took the 5 day card and it was way cheaper than paying separately for attractions and public transport.

Such a cute fairytale like village!! Definitely 100% recommend!! This is a once in a lifetime experience and should be on every bucket list, it is one of the cutest places I’ve ever been!! Ig: @ cassieofearth for pics and YouTube : Cassandra Beatrice for video :)

Great value for money as it was so easy to travel on the teams and the bus. The many attractions were fantastic as well! Took the 3 day card and even when we decided to do a last minute visit to the Maritime Museum, it was easy too!

It’s a beautiful place and I would recommend it’s a must visit. Please do take some time from you schedule and do plan to visit this place. You will feel very close to the nature. But do check the weather forecast before booking.

Well orgenized, good guiding, very nice people, beautiful place
