Doing what: 3-Night Queenstown Snow and Ski Package
Awesome trip! My only complaint about this is (as you will read elsewhere) the location is not the best because you have to climb a steep hill with all of your gear to get to/from the shuttles to the mountains. We walked by so many other more convenient locations. Also, I'd probably avoid the shared accommodation in the future, but it was a great price and the roommates were nice. (Note, you can choose other lodging at Reavers, that was just what we picked).

Doing what: Thredbo or Perisher Blue Weekend Snow Trip
Was a good weekend, your operator really takes care of everything. This is not a luxury or quality weekend. The bus was old and a little cramped and the accommodation was in dorms - but the tour operator took care of everything which was convenient. The breakfast and dinner was much better than we expected (think full breakfast with cereal eggs bacon sausage baked beans toast etc; and choice of three mains for dinner, with soup for starters and cake for dessert). The main feature of this weekend is to be on the slopes carving it up and they definitely deliver in terms of getting you out there each day on time for a full day of skiing or boarding. We did Perisher which gave us a bit more time as they drop you off first and pick you up last - but if you want to do this you have to organise it yourself as the operator only organises Thredbo Be prepared to be moved quickly from place to place like cattle - but if you're able to cope with the rough bits, this is an efficiently run, good-value and fun weekend at the snow. Thanks!

The tour was fantastic! Easy to book, friendly staff, and a great way to see what Melbourne has to offer. I recomment a 2 day tour to the mountains though, as we had just got confident and it was time to head home. Well worth the early morning and extra dollars!!

I had a great time, ended up staying at the snowy valley equestrian centre due to it being a packed out weekend, accomodation was fine, friendly staff. Cheers for the great weekend

This trip was fantastic. From the moment we were picked up we felt at ease and relaxed. The journey was long, however the bus driver kept us entertained and my partner and I were amazed at the knowledge of the bus driver and his commentary. It was a great day and a lot of fun in the snow.

overall was very comfortable and fantastic value, just that bus driver izzy was not too keen to open doors to the bus even when passengers were out in the rain and freezing cold while he was sitting and watching us get wet waiting for the exact time to open the doors

hi, well nature really turned it on for our trip to Mt Buller, we had snow, rain, sunshine and cold wind, what more could you ask for in a trip to the snow. Grayline coaches driver (Con) went out of his way to make sure everyone was kept informed and safe even when it meant delaying the bus departure.

Clean bus and friendly driver. Despite 6 hours of travelling you still seem to have plenty of time on the snow.

It was good but it could have left a bit earlier so that we could have made the 11 am ski lesson.

The trip was great but I was very disappointed to find that the bus did not pick up from the rather grotty Coburg Motor Inn listed on your website as a pick-up location.

Had a great day. Would have liked to have arrived earlier at Mt. Buller so when you have finished ski lessons you can actually have time on the slopes, a little bit rushed for time. Otherwise a good day out.

Very organised. Don our driver collected us from our hotel and explained everything in detail as to the course of the day. Although as a horse enthusiest there was not mention of Mansfield & Merrijig being where they filmed the "Man from Snowy River". Maybe this bit of trivia would have been interesting to others as the movie was shown on the way back on the coach Regarless of this, the trip was comfortable and felt very safe with Don's driving. Thanks to all. Regards Andrea
