My brother and I recently had a short ski break to Bansko - since I had used Traventuria before (and was pleased!) I made sure we booked all our equipment, ski hire, etc., through Traventuria, and I also booked our return shared transfers between Sofia Airport and Bansko from Traventuria. Everything went fine, staff were friendly and welcoming and I was very pleased with every aspect of my booking and the service and the price. Great location near the Gondola, great locker service and transfers were quick and safe! :)

I can't recommend Sankiyski School highly enough! My husband and I visited with another couple from the 18th to the 25th Jan (a quieter week for Bansko). We were all mixed abilities but I had never been skiing before and decided to book 3 mornings of 2 hour private tuition. All email communication prior to the trip was very quick and efficient with clear instructions re pricing, where the shop was and when to come to be fitted for kit in advance. All the staff were very friendly and helpful and nothing was too much trouble whether it be helping me take my boots off after a fun but tiring day or offering a coffee whilst I waited for friends to finish. I had Janet as my instructor and she was fantastic - so much so I ended up booking lessons for the Thursday and Friday too after my first session with her! Really supportive with her guidance and let me pick things up at my own pace with no pressure and in a fun environment. By the end of the week I could tackle the Ski road and another blue run with confidence which was amazing considering on Monday I had never stepped foot in a ski before! My friends also ended up booking last minute snowboard lessons with the school after a bad experience with another provider which was no trouble at all thanks to Bobi. Highly, highly recommend for their professionalism and friendly staff. They genuinely want to help you and ensure you have a fun holiday rather than just churn people in and out to make a profit. Thank you so much Sankiyski School - I've fallen in love with skiing and we will definitely be back!

The service we received at Tsikiris was by far the best of our whole trip. The staff are brilliant and attentive from the first fitting to your departure. The equipment is great quality and the location is handy for the gondola. I would definitely use them again. The escalator in the shop is a dream after a long day and every single member of the team is friendly and helpful. A special thanks to the guys downstairs for helping my son find the perfect boots when he had sore feet and chatted to him every day, he thought they were so cool ????, and Ivo who would walk out of the shop at the end of the day to help me carry the skis back when my son was too tired , what a star! And the ladies at the reception desk you made my sons holiday when he got his medal, thank you x

My dealings with Cool Ski School proved to be easy & efficient. I received prompt replies to my email enquiries. Most importantly the tuition that we received from Danny was superb. Very well tailored to our needs and always with a smile. Despite her doubts, her spoken English was faultless. I had full confidence in her taking my 8 year old down his first black run. He is still on an incredible high!

First time in Bansko and first time skiing. We were a family of five with kids aged 16,13 and 11. We were pleasantly surprised with everything from the gondola queues to slopes and lessons. Booked everything through traventuria, car transfers, ski rentals and lessons. Everything went smoothly from the moment we arrived. We went from complete novices to going on the blue runs comfortably by day 4. We had a 8 min walk from our hotel, Guinness to the rental shop traventuria, then got our stuff from lockers on first floor, we had 2 as could only comfortably fit 2,3 person ski stuff in there( ski helmets,goggles, skies, poles and boots). We then walked with our gear on to gondola took another 15 min ( only actually 5 min walk). Please note not easy carrying 2 sets of skiers esp your kids ones. We normally got to gondola around 8.30 and would get on cable cars within 10-15 min but If you get there for 9 you can look at 30-40 min wait as gets busy fast!! The cable cars takes another 30 mins to get to the slopes. Also leave early before 3 pm to avoid huge queues, we made this mistake on last day!took us 45 min to get on the cable cars We booked 4 hr lessons but mostly were given on average 2 hrs per day by the instructor. Will be returning next year but hopefully will book ski rentals next to gondola to save the hard long walking distance with skies on.
