Louis your recommendation on the Zurich to Lucerne road trip sounds awesome and looks beautiful. Great tips on saving money on food - we do that most places just so we can keep sightseeing. That outdoor pool and Alps view was amazing. And big congratulations on your announcement!! I hope the move goes well and so exciting about your baby :)

Congrats to be a parents ❤. Thank you for your nice video I love it. From LA ❤

[@juancarlosvaldes4538]

Good afternoon Alexis and Louis from Miami, Florida USA! I'm JC (new subscriber) and am a recent retired Professional Educator (but still teaching p/t online). I have traveled to England and France (while teaching in Public Schools) on various student tours and visited various countries within Asia on my own (after being retired). I am planning to travel to Switzerland (possibly between April a d July) and visit various cities/villages through a group tour of approximately 10 days. I would prefer to land in Zurich. Do you have any specific group tour companies that you may be familiar with as I would feel more comfortable traveling by this method? Again, congratulations on your baby and best wishes in Geneva!

[@artsyweirdo]

Congratulations!!!! Thank you for your videos! Would love a video about weddings in Switzerland vs USA

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Thank you! That's a great idea actually! There are quite a few differences so it would be fun to discuss!

[@artsyweirdo]

Oh yay! I received an invitation to a wedding in Hasliberg in October and was conflicted when the invite read business casual dress code 😅 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔

[@bootscanlas9995]

Good luck your moving in Geneva and Congratulations 👌🙌❤️🎉

[@account4appletv]

Congratulations on the baby and the move. We are coming to Switzerland in the fall and have enjoyed your videos. Thank you for all the information. If we wanted to take a car service from Zurich Airport to Lauterbrunnen, is there a service you recommend that we could have a stop in either Interlaken or Lucerne?

[@FirmandoPangandaran]

Beautiful Sharing My Dear Friends

[@marcelhorisberger9256]

Great video I specially enjoyed the pictures from the Genfer See. I was born in Cully VD But been living in Australia since 1979 cheers

[@kabutovakushi1164]

Congratulations and awesome information. I found HFC is available for tourists for one month which is less expensive compared to swiss pass

[@rkon02]

Congratulations on your family news. I love watching your videos. I was an Expat with a work visa and lived in Zurich many years ago. Looking forward to visiting next year. Have you ever taken the tram / toboggan alpine slide from Pilatus?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Yes, we have! We loved it - you can see it featured in our Lucerne video :)

Hi Guys Thank you 🙏🏼 it very helpful 😊Alizee

I’m planning to go there in September in Geneva with my sister from Ireland I’m from USA . Your videos are very helpful and keep it up and congrats on baby news and your move to Geneva . Wish I could meet you guys 😍✈️

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Enjoy your trip! You should have lovely weather in September

[@AdventureswithNan]

hello! Thanks for the video. Do you have a print out of Loius' favorite road trip from Zurich? CC did not catch the correct spellings of the cities Louis was talking about. Thanks!!

[@babytech4158]

Please give more hotels video for budget price .we’re going first time in September 2022 ...like your videos and congratulations to baby news👏👏👏

[@valeries3392]

Congratulations on the baby! Would love if you could do some videos on th maternity and birth experience in Switzerland! (If comfortable for you of course). I think a lot of people would love to know about the baby side of Swiss health care.

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

I was wondering if people would find this interesting! I've been asked a few times about this so I'm definitely considering it. Anything particular you'd want to know?

[@valeries3392]

@@TheTravelingSwiss I would love to hear about the care you received in the time leading up to birth as well as your hospital stay (if your having a hospital birth) as well as how they handle post birth health of mom and baby. I had my first child in the US, and really felt like birth kind of just happens to us, and we are lucky or unlucky with our experiences based on who happens to be there that day. As someone who is considering a move to Switzerland, I would just love to hear about it and see if its better than the US. (spoiler, i can guess it probably is. lol). Thanks!

[@lindakruger1784]

Congratulations on your baby news! I have enjoyed your videos so much. I would like to ask your opinion of the Central Plaza Hotel in Zurich. We are from the USA and have booked a few days stay there in June. Did we make a good choice or should we change?

[@kasle13]

Is the Lemans Express from Geneva to Chamonix included in the Swiss travel Pass? Thank you!

[@m.m.6670]

Yay, congrats on the baby! Could you eventually do a video about pregnancy in Switzerland, where to find info, how it's done here, etc? Thanks!

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Absolutely! I was wondering if this would be a topic people would be interested in hearing about! Happy to discuss it :)

[@m.m.6670]

@@TheTravelingSwiss Awesome! Thanks a lot!

[@MarcioSouza1]

This is excellent!! However, On the road trip section I could not figure out what most of the places were. Auto captions didn’t help. It’d be great to show how each place is spelled on the video.

[@Tchernobog11]

Congratulations!! As a younger child (under 10?) I've been twice to Crans-Montana for a 'summer activity school' (also happened to learn my italian there, which has since been lost...) Have you been there and what are your thoughts on it?

[@chiragdhameja6674]

Love your videos. I am planning a 4 night trip. Landing in Zurich for 1 night and wanted to do 2 nights in intetlaken and 1 in Lucerne. Can you recommend some medium budget hotels please

[@shiza91]

Please do a video on hotels 🙂

[@chenchen1634]

hi, ill be staying in Nash Pratik Hotel in Geneva, and im going to Milan, what transportation would you recommended? hoping that you’d reply. ❤

[@Katswizzle]

Help! My family and I are having a hard time knowing where to buy the Swiss pass from for our trip next month. Tried the SBB site but it’s hard to navigate through.. any tips? :o

[@artofangie]

I’m thinking of canceling my trip to Basel, Switzerland in December. I’m scared to get lost traveling alone and not knowing how to navigate through the airport. Any tips?

[@KeithAVass]

My greatest wish is to tour Switzerland by Electric Recumbent Trike, but I cannot find a Tour Company or a Hire company which has them or uses them. Is there a valid reason for this? Germany is the home of HP Velotechnik who make a range of recumbent trikes but they are only next door to Switzerland. My concept would be to use Trains or Buses to take me up to the Mountain tops, see the resorts and then, the piece de resistance would be the downhill ride back to the valleys, find a reasonably-priced Hotel or Motel with some sort of security for the trike. Is this feasible or is there some reason why it is not available?

[@mimossmigalang4007]

Can you show us how to use the public bus and trains that goes locally using Swiss Travel Pass. Is it like in Italy, Paris, Barcelona that you have to scan your pass when boarding the bus?

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

In Switzerland it’s pretty easy! You just get on the bus or train, etc. and the tickets will be randomly controlled when you’re already on board

[@mimossmigalang4007]

[@sharonjones3890]

Hi.. pls help- We are a family of 2 adults and 3 kids - kids are 4, 9 & 12 yrs. So do we get 4 Swiss travel pass cards or 1 Swiss Travel Pass and aSwiss family travel pass… so confused 😣 what do you suggest? Congratulations on ur amazing news btw❤️

Of course! Added names and links into the descriptions! :)

[@JoyceErdman]

4star hotels in Lucerne??

[@Diamondbeach]

It would be nice if you out the names of the towns up on the screen as ur talking about so we can jot it down. It’s hard to remember and spell them hearing for the first time.

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

We have lots of info listed in the description!

[@Brendonsyacht84]

Congratulations! Question, my wife and I are flying from Florida to Zurich June 1st. We are recently fully vaccinated. I heard Covid rules have changed there just recently in the last few days. What is required now to enter Switzerland? It’s been hard to get an answer I can rely on. Thank you

Is there a particular reason why it would be better for you to live in Geneva with a baby? Sorry if you mentioned this and I just missed it. :-)

[@TheTravelingSwiss]

Hi Tim - Louis' family is from Geneva, so we thought it would be nice to have the baby a bit closer to family :) - I think both cities would be great places to raise a child!
