The Swiss travel pass was 100% worth getting. I was in Switzerland with my mom for 7 nights and this pass made our trip super convenient. Buying each ticket one by one (train, bus, boat) would have saved us $100-200 but we paid for the convenience. You simply hop off and on any transportation at any time. It was sooo worth it. I'm an extreme planner and even though I had an itinerary for each day (including transportation + times for tickets) I would purchase the travel pass again. There were days where we'd miss the original train we wanted to catch, but it wasn't a problem because we just hopped on the next train! You also get discounts to most major attractions.

We had a fantastic day with Marc going up the mountain. The weather did not cooperate but he still made it a wonderful experience. Marc is extremely knowledgeable, personable, and proud of his Swiss heritage. We would highly recommend taking a day with him to learn so much about the Swiss in a stunning setting!

We had our passes sent by SBB after purchasing but it does sometimes take a few days. We printed them, took them with us, and it was so easy to just hop on transportation and not have to worry. We never had a single issue and the SBB ticket checkers we're all lovely. We probably would have saved 100-200 ish CAD$ if we bought tickets separately, but to be able to have the flexibility of missing a train or hopping off when we wanted to at a different station was worth the extra cost to us.
