Reviews
The Yoyo guide and driver were both great, able to communicate in Chinese and answer all questions... A great ski resort with very beautiful scenery... There are also a few restaurants that are cost-effective and not expensive... For my first time skiing, I chose this ski resort... A great experience.
Our guide, David, was very knowledgeable of everything in the itinerary and spoke Japanese, English, and Chinese. The resort itself is catered more towards beginners such as myself, so if you consider yourself intermediate or higher you might find yourself bored. Also keep in mind the ski lift ticket is only one singular ticket, not a day pass. Other than, great trip overall!
The guide was very good. However, I booked a package that included an instructor, but Klook canceled it, which ruined my ski trip plans. The cancellation occurred without any attempt to resolve the issue or find a replacement instructor, only notification of a refund that would take 7 days to process. Overall, I think it was okay.
The guide was great and gave good recommendations. We had plenty of time to sit and watch the snow.
Tour guide Evita is super punctual and really nice. We had a super fun trip with her!
Tour guide Xiao Liu led the team with great care. Xiao Liu's humor made everyone on the bus laugh and have a great time. I also appreciate Xiao Liu for helping me find an excellent ski instructor, which allowed me to learn how to ski safely. Highly recommended for the excellent quality and sincerity.
fun experience. the driver and Yoyo are so nice!!
it was nice! 5/5 for tour guide yoyo
the information displayed on the tour is very misleading, it does not explicitly imply if the lift ticket is for 1 time only or a day pass (unlimited) rides at a specific time.
