An excellent experience from start to finish. Having travelled with Interski for many years, I was excited to see that they are now offering Summer trips for schools too. We chose them to arrange our recent Y8 and 9 trip to Stratford. From booking to the organisation of the trip itself, Interschool Travel delivered the very best service. I have come to expect the very best when skiing and now know that I can get the same excellence when organising educational trips in the UK and overseas. I will certainly be booking with them again.
