    We didn't have an "experience," it was supposed to be a two way ticket from the airport to a stop nearest our hotel. There was no-one to advise when we arrived at the airport; There WAS NO GUIDE; We were not told where the "bus interchange' was; We found our own way because it was well signposted at the airport, and had to look up the bus route ourselves. When we found the right bus, we attempted to scan the tickets on our phones. Unfortunately I'm not sure anything was registered and we effectively rode for free. All instructions on the bus by the driver, were in Dutch, so we had to listen very carefully as we neared our destination for the correct stop. This was a stressful experience because we do not speak Dutch, and we were new to the country, having only just arrived. It wasn't a good start and have no idea what to do when we leave Amsterdam to come home. The overall experience did not match the expectations you set for us as travellers, and therefore it has to be seen overall as an unacceptable experience provided by your company. Our mobile phones were more useful in helping us to our destination than anything you provided.

    The driver was very kind to us. He was the reason why my score is the highest. The journey was simply ok, nothing good or bad remarkable. HOWEVER, the experience with headout was not that good because of too reasons: - first, the price of the tickets was 6.50 € each (I bought 3 units because we were 3 people) but in my bank account the charged amount has been 21.00€ instead of the 19.50€ that I expected. I looked for any tax explanation but is not. - Second, I expected either a QR ticket or an online ticket (or similar) straight forward after buying instead of having just a booking confirmation (so I don't need to go anywhere to get them). Fortunately, the driver was very understanding.
