My wife and I are visitng Europe in the next year. We are purchasing one of the Saver passes, but were told this does not include reservations. We are starting out in Spain, and pan to do about a two-week whirwind in which we see France, Italy,and Austria as well. How much are we looking at for these reservations, and will they apply everytime we jump on and off a train?
