At the last minute, a small group of us decided to go on a skiing trip. We contacted Fern, who was very accommodating and asked the relevant questions to find the right place to suit our group. She quickly found a few options, and we chose Obergurgl in Austria. She dealt with the whole package, which made the holiday easier. The whole process was stress-free and made so easy. We will certainly be using Destinations By John again.
