Dana has been extremely helpful with two years cancellations of our cruise to Alaska. There are hotel stays and Rocky Mountaineer bookings too, and Dana has been excellent at sorting everything out for us. So glad we booked with her. 10/10

Dana has been our Travel Counsellor for 4 years now during which time she has organised a number of trips for us. We cannot recommend her enough. She listens carefully to what we want then proposes an itinerary based on our desires, her own extensive experience and also other firsthand knowledge from the Travel Counsellors network. She then works with you to fine tune the schedule to exactly what you want and tailored to a budget. We have been delighted with the results on every occasion and if we have been abroad and had a query, Dana has always been on hand to answer any questions and amend our travel plan as required. She is a lovely person, easy to talk to, always responds quickly and you really do get a personal service" I mean every word!

Dana has been excellent from start to finish of the whole booking process. With us being a group of 14 there has been a lot for her to do! Great price. Excellent communication. We’re counting down the days to our holiday! Thank you Dana.

In the past I've relied on the high street travel agents to provide my holiday and accepted they would find the best one for me. I was introduced to Travel Counsellors by a friend and I will be always grateful as I was given the opportunity to tailor my holiday adventure just as I wanted it. The hand picked package included everything I wanted, and the value for money was exceptional. Thank you Travel Counsellors.

Dana provided an absolutely excellent experience for us, booking a very special holiday. I would recommend her to anyone, she is a real credit to the travel industry

My wife and I had searched the internet for a special holiday and we had come to a stalemate for ideas. We asked Dana to give us some suggestions and she responded with destinations we hadn't considered. She was very helpful and answered the many questions that we had and was extremely patient with all the changes that we were making. We are now looking forward to our luxury break in Mauritius.

Dana provided a brilliant service, could not be more helpful, nothing to much trouble, attention to detail just seems part off the job. I would recommend all my friends give Travel Counsellors a try. I will be back for more.

Dana made all the arrangements for our New Year trip to Budapest. The flights and transfers worked well but what really made the holiday was the hotel. We did not know the city at all so had asked Dana to find us a medium priced hotel with a good location to the attractions. She settled on the Best Western Parlament based on her personal knowledge, and what is clearly a wide network of contacts, and it was perfect for us. We will definitely ask Dana to organise other holidays for us as she is genuinely keen to ensure that her customers have a great experience and she brings a lot of sound common sense and has great attention to detail'.

As we had decided to go away last minute for new year a lot of places were fully booked, flights were either on the wrong days or fully booked or the prices were extortionate, however we gave Dana a couple of options and once again she came up trumps for us, thus the reason why we won't use anybody else. Not only does she realise and accommodate our needs she makes sure we get them. You may think that that should be a given but my daughter is disabled and travelling with her can be quite stressful if things aren't just so. Dana suggested we go to Singapore and gave a couple of hotel options, one being the Shangri-La which we chose. She had looked at all the room types in the various wings and decided we would be best suited for the valley wing, which was first class. We had adjoining rooms and my daughter had a super king sized bed to herself which she was delighted with. Emirates were also chosen as our airline and as my husband is a huge fan of the A380; Dana had booked three of these planes for our trip. All of which were suitably timed and not much hanging around at airports with my daughter. Dana is a fantastic travel agent and always finds us exactly what we need.
