Travelling with Nirvana

I've used them twice (IMCH and Roth) and worked well both times.

Sure, you can probably do it cheaper yourself, but it takes away a lot of the risk and hassle for tricky locations (and I would include Austria in that).

Just look at Tunney & JBs escapades in Roth as an example of how it can go wrong.

Used them for Roth this year (had no choice as they supplied an entry) but found them excellent. A friend went the self route and had a lot of transport hassle.

Theres a man who I wanted to know how he got on over there ;);););)

I used them this year for frankfurt accommodation as I'd left it too late to get into the same hotel with a direct booking myself. It was certainly more expensive than booking direct, and I didn't expect much. I also booked ground transport with them (transfers to airport/briefings/bike tour) which was a relatively cheap add on after paying for the accommodation. Overall I was pleasantly surprised at how much hassle it took out of things like getting to the swim venue in the days ahead of the race (note to anyone doing this: dont try and take a taxi for this at frankfurt, they're utterly useless!), getting to/from the airport with no trouble, similar for getting to the briefing venue which is well outside of town etc. In terms of customer service, I got speedy replies to email in the run up to the race, and it was the same bloke answering emails who collected me in their van from the airport. I was running late because of delayed baggage, and he phoned me to check everything was allright. While out there they were very helpful with anything that came up (like folk wanting to get a lift to the swim venue a few days before the race).

In Austra they seem to be based well away from the race venue, so you probably would want to get ground transportation with them if you book their accommodation as they run regular busses for getting to the expo/swim/back from the race on the night of the race etc. (I didn't use them in austra, just commenting on the setup from talking to folk who were at the race and using them).

When possible I'd still prefer to book things directly myself, but I'd have zero problem booking with them again if I wanted a late entry for a race and was willing to fork out the extra cash for it.
