My daughter and I visited Leavenworth, WA in early February 2024. We had so many things we wanted to do, but didn't want to drive, so we went through Valley Ventures Northwest for two of our days there.
From the days leading up to our trip, Kristy, the owner of the company, was so easy to work with. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and provided us with various fun ideas on what we could do / places to visit. Being from Hawai'i, one of the main things we wanted to see was snow. Unfortunately, it turned out to be an unusually warm winter season for Leavenworth, with little to no snowfall from late January throughout our stay. Kristy was so patient and accommodating, working with us as we made last-minute changes to try to ensure we got to see snow.
We utilized her services on two days. On our first day, we used her shuttle service for roundtrip transportation from our hotel to Mission Ridge in Wenatchee for snowboarding lessons. On our second day, we did a mini venture (1/2 day tour). We started off with snowmobiling with Leavenworth Snowmobile Tours at Mountain Springs, then headed to Icicle Outfitters for a sleigh ride, followed by a stop at the famous Alps Fudge / Candy store, then ended at the Leavenworth Adventure Park for two rides on the Alpine Coaster.
On both of our days with Kristy, she was friendly, on time, her car was very clean (I'm extremely picky on cleanliness), she talked story with us during the drives -- giving us information on the areas we were driving through, and went above and beyond for us (providing courtesy texts, making last minute stops for us to get food, playing our choice of music, and providing us with water and a snack). She made everything so easy for us, making sure we had a memorable experience and were able to do everything on our checklist -- which was A LOT, especially when factoring in driving time, appointment availability, and activity duration.
We are so thankful to Kristy for making everything possible for us. We plan on visiting again and will definitely be reaching out to her! read more
