I'm an avid skier and snowboarder and have been going on day trips to Snowbowl in Flagstaff since I…read morewas 13 years old. I started taking Desert Snow Connection a few years ago and it has changed everything for me. Since I discovered this company, I'm skiing more than I ever have each season. Basically they pick you up on a nice bus at 5am in either Mesa or Phoenix and take you directly to Snowbowl and back (2.5 hours one way). You get back to the Valley around 8pm. There is storage space under the bus for your snow gear, WiFi on the bus and outlets at your seat to charge your phone. DSC does trips daily after Christmas until the season is over. Tickets are usually around $100 and includes transportation and your lift pass (which are handed to you on the bus when you arrive at Snowbowl). They also offer transportation only if you are a season ticket holder. It's an awesome deal and saves you the wear and tear on your vehicle to drive up the mountain and back. Plus you can take a nap on the way back after a long day of shredding. They will make a quick stop at a rest stop for a bathroom break. Seating is first come, first serve. So make sure you arrive at pick-up on time. DSC also does a few out-of-state trips to places like Purgatory and Big Bear. Check out their website for dates. Check them out at the annual winter Ski Pro Avalanche Sale for discounted multi-trip package deals.

I called and the lady in accounting told me, that they don't do hourly, they charge waiting time. On a trip that took 2 hours, including the 20 minutes from point to point, they charged over $150.00 per hour for an SUV. They charge me 138 minutes waiting + the transfer rate. Total 2 hours. which doesn't make sense at all!! since it's 120 minutes in 2 hours. They refused to fix this for me. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

She puts my 72 year old aunt on a flight out of Denver at 6am giving her a 4 hour layover in Phoenix...why but she did 2. Paid in full - did I get a receipt NOPE - she sent me 4 emails to sort througth it all and figure it out - She truly is incompetent - who doesn't give a receipt? 3. Each time I called her it would get voice mail - the only way I could reach her was via email - why because she was moving and couldn't be bothered to let me know that. 4. 1 month out I always called the hotels for my clients when I was an agent to confirm resort fees and bedding requests and given that this one could not even get me a receipt I made the calls - the first 2 hotels were amazing but the third hotel an Outrigger hotel - well apparently they had made some changes and when I called them I was told the cost was $15.00 per day plus $60.00 per day - making the resort fee for that stay $300.00 more - and not anywhere on the documents sent to me. I emailed - because now I don't even have her phone number and she was unable to manage getting us moved to an alternate property - 2 weeks later and 2 calls from me as well as some very unprofessional emails from Kristi I was sent updated documents. 5. The documents lacked the confirmation information or the phone number to confirm bedding - the 1 bedroom on the Funjet website showed 2 twins so I wanted to confirm this request. I emailed 3 times and got emails with none of this data and the companies that managed the Sugar Resort had no reservation for me. I finally called and finally got the data requested along with an email stating that she was fabulous - not how sorry she was that I had to call her and email her repeatedly - but how dare I ask her for this super secret data. 6. Finally Funjets site shows 2 twins but when I call the vendor tells me that they do not offer that type of room.....seriously can you say FRAUD!! NEVER EVER EVER BOOK with this woman she is trained ?? Hardly

Salus Travel Solutions has booked countless trips for my business clients as well as numerous…read morepersonal trips for my family. As a matter of fact, I just returned from a trip which Kristi booked to include airfare, hotel and a Vegas show where we sat on the third row. The attention to detail that Kristi shows in each and every trip goes to show that she has been well-trained and conducts her business in a professional manner. I always receive documents and receipts in a timely manner and Kristi is responsive to any questions or concerns that I have ever asked. She is always looking for a sensible itinerary and always takes my personal requests and preferences into consideration. Kristi Salus is none of the things described by the previous negative reviewer. If this reviewer had over 20 years in the travel industry then there must be a hidden agenda as to why she is going through a travel agent. Kristi Salus has a great business and one negative review will not damage the impeccable service that she continues to provide my business travelers and my family every time we use her services. We can't wait to book another trip with Kristi! She truly makes traveling easier and takes the guess work out of any destination. From someone who has extensive travel needs on a weekly basis, I highly recommend Salus Travel Solutions for business and leisure travel. There is no destination that Kristi can't book for you and make your trip the best one.

When we selected Fantastica Italia to organize our tour of Northern Italy, our chief concern was…read morethat the company is based in the United States, far from where we would be should problems arise. We soon learned that MariaLaura continually monitors her clients' tours to ensure that all proceeds according to plan. A native Italian, she has comprehensive and intimate knowledge of every region of Italy, including areas quite off the beaten track where we intended to go. She has a vivacious personality and a genuine interest in getting to know her clients and understanding their travel styles and preferences. While she was charting out our itinerary, we stayed in touch by phone or email, working out all of the details. The trip she planned for us involved stays in seven cities, starting in Genoa, looping south through Cinque Terre and Florence, turning westward through Bologna and Parma, and finishing in Torino (all cities besides Florence were new to us). She booked all transfers and hotels, working with several local travel companies. The entire tour was indeed fantastic in every way, and went without a hitch. We had contact information for the local companies, and on the few occasions when we needed to be in touch with them (for example, when our boat tour of Cinque Terre had to be postponed because of bad weather), they were absolutely responsive and reliable. All of the drivers were punctual and personable, and even those who professed not to speak English spoke quite a bit and were eager to point out sites and provide interesting background information. Hotels were all first-rate and very well located (always an important criterion for us). MariaLaura booked walking tours in each of the cities we visited, and all of these tours were wonderful and essential to our experience. Otherwise, we were on our own in each of the cities to explore as we saw fit. Since we know Europe quite well and are comfortable with European languages, this worked out very well. (It's less likely that we'd try this approach in other parts of the world.) We took a fabulous day trip from Genoa exploring the western Italian Riviera and Monaco without a guide but only a driver, who took us from place to place and even to some places that he didn't know but that we had read about. On days when we were transferring from one city to another we tried to stop at points of interest along the way. For example, on our way from Bologna to Parma we stopped in Modena to tour the Casa Pavarotti, the Ferrari Museum, and the medieval city center. It's important to note that we could not have done such a tour on our own with a rental car. Parking would have been next to impossible in many of the places we visited. We were able to get out and explore while the driver waited and picked us up at a pre-appointed spot. MariaLaura also booked several excellent specialty tours, including an unforgettable private sunset boat tour of Cinque Terre and a small-group tour outside Parma (just four people) featuring locations where Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamic vinegar, and prosciutto are produced. MariaLaura was very helpful and patient with us as our plans developed. When we found out that tickets were available for a performance of Aida at the Teatro Verdi in Busseto (outside Parma) on a certain date, she reworked the schedule to make sure we would be there. This was not a trivial matter, since the timeframe was narrow and hotel reservations for the hotels we wanted were not readily available. We appreciated the way she willingly took on the challenge and got back to us quickly with a revised schedule that worked out perfectly. She is truly a gem. The cost for this trip, not inexpensive, was nevertheless a very good value. MariaLaura worked with us to tweak the program so as to keep it reasonably on budget. Our tour of Northern Italy was truly a dream vacation. Having been to Italy a number of times, there are still areas that we have not explored. If and when we plan another trip, we hope to do it through Fantastica Italia.

We booked an Ice cream and Gelato tour around Old Town and the Waterfront and were picked up within 15 minutes by "Captain Kirk". He is a very warm and personable guide. He was well versed in the area including buildings/archetecture, public art, history of the area, restaurants and entertainment venues. We had three stops on the tour for 1) Ice cream, 2) gelato and 3) sorbet. All were excellent. We certainly had our fill of sweet treats, all included in the price of the tour. We would certainly recommend this company for one of their many various tours, based on this experience. It was a weekday in January so just be aware that you may need to make more advanced reservations than we did. Thank you Monica and Kirk.
