It is very worth it for the visit to Amsterdam, however when I wanted to expand it it was not possible, it is important to know that there are different distributors and the best contact is I Amsterdam

The explorer pass is worth every penny, I visited the Rijskmuseum, This is Holland, and a Canal cruise. All hassle free. I definitely recommend getting this.

We literally let the card glow for 24 hours. We picked out the museums and co in advance. We saved more than half with the card. Always my pleasure.

Yes, very nice, but if you had to choose these 5 attractions, forget about the excursions because it is impossible to book them

Quite useful to save time (by rows) and it's super easy to use by downloading the GoCity app.
