It's Nice To Meet You
Hi, I’m Eda Ayyildiz — your personal luxury travel expert, based in Winchmore Hill, North London.
With a background in customer service at British Airways and a passion for exploring the world, I now create unforgettable tailor-made holidays through Travel Counsellors. I combine award-winning technology with a highly personal service, ensuring every trip is crafted to your exact needs — and is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust.
I’ve recently returned from some incredible destinations including South Africa, Brazil, Argentina, and an Arctic Expedition cruise with HX Cruises. I also stay up-to-date with the finest new hotel openings across Europe, including standout properties from Ikos & Sani Resorts, Grecotel, and Four Seasons — perfect for both couples and families.
From skiing in Canada and the Alps to relaxing in the Maldives and Bahamas, city breaks in New York and Europe, or once-in-a-lifetime trips through India and Southeast Asia — I’ve travelled widely, both as a solo traveller and with my husband and two young adult daughters. I understand what it takes to create exceptional family holidays, romantic escapes, luxury honeymoons, stag and hen weekends, and adventure-filled journeys.
As your Travel Counsellor, I’ll be available at a time that suits you — day, evening or weekend — and will be on hand every step of the way with honest advice, great value, and outstanding aftercare.
If you’d like to start planning your next trip, feel free to get in touch. I’d love to help.

What an amazing honeymoon this has been! Thank you so much for your incredible efforts, you put it together in such a short time. Epecially coordinating flights from London to Istanbul and for my partner from Ankara to Istanbul and from there on to Dubai! I thought it would be very difficult, but somehow you managed to arrange everything like a wizard, making our honeymoon unforgettable. Palazzo Versace Dubai is ‘a destination within a destination’. A waterfront spectacular architecture, Italian furnishings, extraordinary service and an ambience of pure glamour. Palazzo Versace is everything my husband and expected from the world’s first fully fashion-branded hotel. Specially loved traveling back business class! Eda you worked so hard and resolved my issues quickly and in a professional manner! The hotel in Istanbul was also perfect, within walking distance of most sites....it was worth it and very convenient. All in all high marks for everything.

I was very impressed with Eda, she managed to secure a very good deal with our forthcoming travel arrangements. Eda is efficient and listens to your requirements, there was no pressure or pushyness to book with her, which made it even more desirable. I have used Travel Counsellors in the past and I will certainly continue to do so because as well as being very knowledgable there is an added sense of security in booking with you.

Eda was efficient and a pleasure to deal with. I had a very short window in which to book this holiday and only two days on which I could fly. Eda took care of everything for me, and even added in some extras I had not thought of, like private taxi transfer and pre-assigned seats on the plane, this made travelling with three children on my own so much easier. I would definitely recommend her and have already, and I would definitely book with her again. :) A very happy customer, recommended to me by a friend.
