Big Sky User Reviews
Big Sky receives praise for providing a generally smooth and safe travel experience, with fast buses that many passengers appreciate. However, some users have reported delays in arrival times and issues such as malfunctioning facilities like toilets or air-conditioning set too cold. Additionally, there are concerns about communication during unexpected incidents on the journey.
I recently had the pleasure of traveling with Big Sky, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the breathtaking scenery and the warm hospitality of the staff. My skiing experience was exceptional, with access to diverse terrain and excellent snow quality. The resort's lifts were efficient, and the staff were always happy to offer advice and guidance. One of the highlights of my trip was the stargazing experience. The clear night sky was a sight to behold, and the knowledgeable guides added depth and context to the experience. While traveling with Big Sky, I also had the opportunity to go on a bike adventure. The scenic routes and supportive staff made for an exhilarating experience, and I appreciated the chance to challenge myself on the trails. If I were to offer any suggestions for improvement, it would be to consider measures to manage crowds during peak season and to provide more sheltered areas for stargazing on cold nights. Overall, however, I was thoroughly impressed with Big Sky's services and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable travel experience. Rating: 4.5/5 stars
