What Our Customers Say About the Calculator
Rachel Forrester, NZ
 

I started to try and do a spreadsheet by myself and spent hours and really didn’t get anywhere. This saves SO much time and frustration! I would highly recommend the rail pass comparison calculator to anyone who is visiting Switzerland.

Doug Collins, Australia
 

The online calculator is outstanding! Having the prices pre-loaded into the calculator saves a lot of time and makes choosing the best rail pass so much easier.

Liz Laughton, Canada
 

The calculator has been so helpful! I was set on buying the Swiss Travel Pass for our upcoming trip, but using your calculator I found out that the half fare pass would cost us approximately $150CAD less! I am not very tech savvy but found this calculator surprisingly easy to use.

Kristi Romuald, USA
 

My husband and I traveled to Switzerland in the last 2 weeks of August. I had been planning our trip for many months, and wanted to make the best decision regarding travel passes.


I had already made detailed notes on things we wanted to see and places to visit, but I still felt like I didn’t have a handle on which travel pass would work best for us. I decided to purchase your travel calculator and it was extremely helpful! I would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Switzerland and using public transportation.


Not only did it help me make a great decision about which pass to buy (Swiss Half Fare Pass), but it also helped me identify activities and excursions to include on our trip.


We had a fabulous trip and will definitely go again. Once we made the decision based on your tool, a weight was lifted and we were free to just enjoy the ride, so to speak, without worrying if we were getting a good deal or paying too much.


I also did a cost analysis after our trip that confirmed the half fare pass was definitely the correct choice for us. Thank you for creating this great tool!

I have planned MANY trips for my husband and I and family, including a cross country driving trip from Oregon to Niagara Falls in CANADA and back via the USA trip. This Switzerland trip has me wound up in knots. It’s by far the most intimidating trip I have EVER attempted to plan. Your software definitely helped me to figure out that really, I just need the Swiss Travel Pass. Yay.


Robyn Watts, Australia
 

Hi Carolyn, We love the calculator it has made our planning so much easier & wish we had of found it earlier, it would have saved a lot of time in searching for the right passes. We have decided on the Berner Oberland Pass & the Half Fare Card.
