Bus driver was not overly friendly. Bus stops were not clearly marked eg. Stop 5 where we got on. Audio commentary is good but while it's playing. You can't hear the driver separately telling you what stop he's up to. Couldn't find a timetable on the app & driver Couldn't tell me when the next bus would be coming or how frequently they came past the stop.

Very difficult to find where the stops/pick up area was. No signage help g you. Much road construction. Very difficult to find where to go. Once on the bus everything g was ok. Voice guide was "off" from where we really were. Have been on many in other cities that were much better

Very short tour. The guide tells VERY little information. It doesn't tell curious things or facts that are really shocking. The stops are not marked. From the office I was sent to stop number 4 and there was no sign, no marker, nothing. Which made it complicated to understand since the map marked that it was on a two way street, so I didn't know which side to be on.

I purchased the 24 hours I Amsterdam City Card (Booking ID: 23625512). On iamsterdam.com, the 24 hours card is "discounted" for €59, but it seems that I paid the full price of €65. I inquired about a possible refund for the price difference on March 9 and followed up on March 24, but I never received a response.
