Answer 2

So, it's sound like you have been to  http://www.raileurope.com/us/rail/passes... and have done some homework. Best thing to do is to have your itinerary planned out. Look at the cost comparison between point to point and a pass. The thing with the twin pass is that you have to travel together all the time - so if you and your friend split up and want to go different directions - no can do! If you are doing a lot of traveling on the train than the passes tend to be a good value.

You will be traveling during high season and, due to the World Cup, trains will be busy. If there is a train you HAVE to be on, I recommend a reservation if possible.

Have fun!

Answer 3

It really depends upon where you will be travelling and for how long. If you are travelling for 10 days or less, then the TwinPass is your best choice. If you are travelling more than 10 days, then the "World Champion ticket" is a better bargain at Euro 349/pP (unlimited travel for one month). If you travel on the weekends, you could buy a "Have a nice weekend ticket" for Euro 30, valid up to 5 people travelling together, not valid on Express trains.

If you travel within a state, you can buy a "Have a nice day ticket", starting at Euro 22, valid up to 5 people after 9am, not valid on Express trains.
