In less than a month will be my first time in Switzerland and England as a tourist and your videos are really good and full of important and useful information. Thanks a lot guys! I really apreciate the easy, familiar and kind way that you tell us about your living experience there. Greetings from Colombia 😁🏔

[dianelundgren]

This is so helpful! We are so excited to be going to Switzerland for our 30th Anniversary August 2025. We just purchased your Bundle to help us with planning. THANK YOU!! WE love your video's

[jorgensen]

Ok I have been watching SWISS travel videos all week and I am so glad I came across your channel. You guys are helpful and informative. I love how on your videos you break everything down in a simple way for first time visitors. I’m shocked you guys don’t have millions of views. Hang in there. Word will spread. You guys rock.

[sweetthing]

Thank you so much for this video! I've been watching you guys for a couple of months, since I'm traveling 4/30-5/9 to Switzerland for her graduation present. We are so excited, and I just applied for a Chase Sapphire card through your link. It was approved in seconds, which was awesome, since I need it for the trip. Still debating about car rental or train travel...

[MichaelBuckingham-gzko]

Have things at United changed drastically? I can only find a ticket for 70k miles, each way!
Your videos and guides are invaluable and we look forward to talking with you in a few weeks!

[slipji]

Great information!! What tips do you have for meeting the minimum spending requirements for all these cards?

[sandwitch]

Hello
I am planning to visit Switzerland next June, shall I book all trains & cable cars in the Swiss alps in advance?

[NephthysDeRiourt]

Are this costs per person or for a couple?

[MrGreatplum]

Whilst this isn’t that relevant to me as I’m British, it’s making me think of credit cards I can use from the uk for travel - thanks both.

[slickton]

What website do you buy your "swiss half fare card" and "oberland regional pass" from?

[EVL-xjvc]

Thanks for putting the most important clause first - only available for US residents. Not for me 😅
