It's very convenient to purchase through Klook. Each person receives a ticket with their own name and a QR code, so there's no need to print it out. Whenever a staff member checks tickets, just show the QR code for them to scan. With a Swiss Travel Pass, even if you take the wrong train, you don't have to worry about paying extra fare. It's recommended that traveling companions also take a screenshot, just in case there's an issue with the phone, so there's a spare. Sometimes you need to pay attention to the seats, which will indicate which station to which station they are reserved for; if you see that, do not sit there. This time I used the pass to take free cable cars, boats, and so on. Although the pass is expensive, it is totally worth it.

a better option and more pocket friendly than the STP, especially if combined with other tickets like the gonegrat bahn zermatt or jungfrau travel pass. cannot recommend enough as travelling in swiss alone is $$$. easy to use and if conducter comes to check, just present the QR code that is provided once this ticket is purchased. thanks Klook for this offer!

if interlaken is your base to travel to the jungfrau region, get this travel pass. this pass covers more than just train rides to places like grindelwald, lauterbrunnen and even TOE Jungfraujoch (except the last monorail ride up from Eigergletscher/Kleine Scheidegg, will need to purchase separate ticket online at 50% disc). Value for money pass and you can choose the number of days pass that you want to buy. Highly recommend to purchase this pass along with Swiss Travel Half Fare card.. save a ton if you are travelventure person.

Our departure was Zurich and took us 2hrs to get to the destination. We went to Lauterbrunnen, Grindelwald and Interlaken. This tour is ideal for active people, who walks a lot. The tour would need you to walk on inclined paths. Not ideal for people with difficulty in walking. We did the cliff walk at Grindelwald First(an option with additional fee of 70 CHF per person), however there were fog and the mountains were not visible. Ideal for a day trip/short trip to Switzerland but still want to see/experience the beauty of the mountains and make the most out of their Switzerland trip. Overall, our tour was very nice, peaceful and refreshing. Our guide is very patient and really explained clearly the areas while our driver really took care of us and drove safely. It was a good experience and I would recommend this to young people who are up for adventure.

Although it was a packed itinerary, the stunning scenery made it completely worthwhile. Our tour guide, Lars, was exceptional; he maintained excellent time management and provided practical tips that allowed us to experience the very best of Grindelwald and Mount First. The landscapes were breathtaking. Additionally, our driver, Victoria, navigated the roads with great skill. The coach was incredibly comfortable, allowing us to sit back and truly enjoy the beautiful views along the way."

We have an awesome tour in Switzerland. At the beginning of the tour, we have decided to upgrade our interlaken tour into the top of Europe. The guide, Kid (Thai) was attentive to us and very generous. Sadly he is not to others, and may think that he is rude. We enjoyed his company when he starts to crack jokes with us. He taught us to use our camera settings to get the best view of the tour. He is knowledgable on the best photo shoot and even uploads our video with him dancing. He make sure that each guests will enjoy the view and tour.
