Traveler reviews
Disappointing!
It took me more than an hour to pick up the ski equipment, the ski resort staff were few and unprepared. They put on a booth smaller than the ideal size and I got hurt. I left my document from the locker and then needed document to locate the ski equipment... an unprepared. Poor infrastructure, rude staff. Finished my first experience in the snow!
Turistik ok / Guide and support but El Colorado left much to be desired, especially for those who know Valle Nevado.
Martin and Marcelo excellent (guide and driver) attentive guide and requested besides very polite
Comfort and confusion
In general, it is better to rent a car or close private tours. All departures were delayed and those who had boarding in the center the combined boarding location never matched the place the bus stopped. We even saw people miss the ride because of it. For the convenience of closing everything with them, compensate. But know that it will be confusing and you will end up losing in time.
Great experience
Quiet and assisted travel. Diego guide and driver Estevan very friendly and attentive. I recommend the experience. I was insecure for the first time skiing but I had a very nice time
Good Tour to Colorado
We found the tour of Turistik to be well organized and fun. Our driver was Hernan and our guide Sebastian. They took us to a place to rent the snow clothes that were included in the tour (jacket, pants, gloves, boots and glasses.) Many people come at the same time, so you have to be very alert to pick the right team quickly. Some tips: at first, we were picked up in a van going to Valle Nevado. We had to ask to be changed to the proper van to go to Colorado. I also recommend a private lesson in Colorado, but that is not included in the tour. It is more expensive but you will have more personalized attention. Our instructor was not very attentive and with 10 other students, we easily got lost. However, that's not Turistik's fault, so it doesn't negatively impact this review!
