5.00Trip was well organised. Oskar collected us from our hotel and sorted out our equipment hire and lift pass. He then took us to the Thermal baths and past the queues quickly. Overall an excellent trip and great service from Oskar. We accidentally left something behind in the car and he went above and beyond to return it.
We all had an amazing day

5.00Jacob guided us to our fun and useful ski lessons, get the right ski gear and passes and then helped us get to the thermal baths, which were very relaxing and great to warm up after skiing. We had a lovely day out with a very friendly driver who gave us some extra tips for the rest of our stay. Prompt pick up and very comfortable drive. Highly recommended day out.
Chris, fantastic driver!
