I impressed in very good service especially the driver "Jeff" is fantastic.
Thanks Viator. Our trip went very smoothly. The bus driver was great, very informative and the day was amazing. It is definately a trip that we will always remember and would definately recommend it to anyone.
Great day, picked up on time, friendly coach driver gave interesting commentary along the way. Plenty of time in the snow, enough for a days skiing if you wanted. It even snowed so made a great trip for those who had never seen snow
I would recommend this tour to anyone who is visiting Melbourne and wants to experience the snow. Mt Buller is absolutely beautiful and the tour is very well organised, picking us up from the front of our hotel and dropping us back there that night. The driver was very informative along the way answered any questions. After a day in the snow we are now planning on going back for a lot longer. Well worth every cent for a day trip on a short Melbourne stay.
This snow weekend was exactly as described, no hidden or unexpected costs! The crew were very helpful, informative and accommodating. My friends and I enjoyed the trip very much and I can't wait to return in 3 weeks!
This tour is well worth doing. The resort at Buller was awesome!! The bus driver quite imformative and was happy to drop off every one at different locations at the end of the day. Even locationshotels that were not on his list.
We had fresh snow while on Mt. Buller. Lucky for us that it snowed 2 days prior to our arrival. Wish we had taken the ski lessons!!! That is a must do in our next trip.
The coach driver was pleasant and was very profession in his driving and explaining the sights all the way. He was helpful and very understanding. It was an excellent trip and I would have no problems recommending anyone to go for it!
my family of 5 including my 14 yr old made this trip last week and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Ben, the tour guide was excellent in his job including catering to our young one and chris the driver was very good in the driver's seat. Thanks guys!
All the young kids on the mountain were really good friendly and helpful. Bus driver was very informative.
More oriented to younger folk, but definitely a lot of fun.
A very well organised day without any hassle, and a fantastic way to visit the snow on a limited time schedule. The snow was beyond our expectations. We loved it and will go back for longer next time!
Good for a week full of skiing and meeting people.
What can I say? I love snow!
This was a good trip for the money paid, and eliminated the hassle of driving up to the snow. We wanted to go to Perisher, but were convinced by our guide to go to Thredbo as we were beginners. If you do intend to go up to Perisher, make sure that you board the right bus. Other than that, there were many positives from the trip. The ski rentals were cheaper than usual. It was $29 AUD for both ski pants and jacket. The ski lift prices were bundled with the ski equipment rental, which cost AUD $209 for skiers and $219 for snowboarders. It was $10 AUD for two 2-hour lessons for the two days. We boarded the first bus that left Sydney central. All of the payments for the lift passes and hire stuff were done and paid in cash on the bus, After the payment we received a receipt that detailed our purchases to use when we arrived to get our ski equipment and clothing. The bus ride was comfortable, and people were having a good time at the back of the bus. Sit in front if you intend to sleep on the bus. Our guide was very helpful; he kept us on time and answered any questions we had. On the snow we had lessons, and the quality of the lessons depends randomly assigned trainers. I would recommend them to any beginner, as it really gives you a head start for only AUD $10. Accommodation was adequate and NOT luxurious. I shared a room with 6 other skiers. Portable heaters were working well, though. The washroom and shower were clean, and hot water was available always. Breakfast and Dinner were served hot and were average. Go early to avoid the queue, as there are 300 people at the resort. All in all, it was a good trip for any ski newbie!
