+971 55 438 6868Hello and welcome to my travel page in 2026.I've been living in UAE and working as a Travel Counsellor now for 13 years. And I feel lucky every day to live in such a vibrant and culturally diverse country. That time has flown by and as my business has evolved, my experience has broadened, so I have so much to share with you. About the UAE which is such a great destination but also countries all around the world. There is always something to see and do here in UAE so if you fancy a visit please get in touch and I can help you plan. And the location of this country makes it so easy to get around the globe so for those of you based here, nowhere is too hard or too difficult. I can get you to wherever your dream destination is.Originally I'm from Bolton where Travel Counsellors was born. But prior to moving here I was in Warwickshire, a beautiful county in central England. From there I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time travelling both for leisure and business. I love visiting new places, both home and abroad and over time I have enjoyed visiting over 220 cities in 76 countries including beaches, cruises, cities, adventures. Trying new foods, meeting wonderful people, witnessing different cultures and experiencing all that the world has to offer. Like many people, I intend to travel much more in the months and years ahead. Both local, short and long haul. Whatever is your personal preference, I can help.As your personal Travel Counsellor, I can speak from my own wealth of leisure and business travel experience to offer unbiased, impartial guidance when helping you find your own perfect trip. That might be a luxury cruise, a unique tailor-made holiday to your dream destination or just an overnight getaway from the stresses and strains of everyday life. I recognise that no matter where you are going or when you are travelling from, it's important to you that the trip is the right one. Let me help you make sure it is.With 30 years in customer care, it is my aim to offer the best possible service. My promise to you is to make your travel booking as pleasurable and simple as possible, taking away the headache of brochures and search engines if you don't want them. And to be as flexible as possible when things change. In 2019 I reached the status of Gold Travel Counsellor, putting me in the top 10 % of over 2000 of us in 7 countries. It was a proud achievement and one I am delighted to have retained, proving I always do they best I can for my customers.So, if you have a holiday in mind, give me a call and we can start planning together. +971 55 4386868 sarahpickford@mytc.com -

I even took the exhilarating polar plunge, a once-in-a-lifetime thrill.Tailor-Made Travel, Crafted Just for YouI’m passionate about creating truly bespoke travel experiences — holidays that are carefully designed around you, your preferences, and your dreams.

01763 877180Hi, I’m Angela - thanks for visiting my page.I am looking forward to being able to share my passion for travel with you, and find you the perfect trip. Travel is my calling and I have been in the industry for over 20 years - my entire working life in fact.I currently live in Melbourn nr Royston with my husband - who I met whilst working abroad - and my two now not so little girls Chloe and Alice who are 13 and 7. As a family we spend a lot of time travelling the country as we have friends and family all over - a perfect excuse for a road trip and we all love the thrill of an airport and exploring somewhere new.I realised my calling in travel at 16 when I studied travel and tourism at college. From here I worked in Crete and then spent eight years living and working all over France and Italy.After that I spent two years selling tailor-made trips to Australia and New Zealand - and all places en route in each direction! I loved creating these holidays of a lifetime that really meant something to my clients who relied on my expertise as an Aussie/New Zealand/Hong Kong Specialist to make their trip perfect. I love getting my teeth into somewhere new, and virtually exploring the area unravelling its secrets. I then spent eight years working for a schools tour operator, selling curriculum based trips for groups of students - which really uses my European and US city break knowledge. I was also a long-haul specialist for those schools who wanted to visit China, Vietnam, Cuba and India. I have travelled to many of the places I have sold so have first-hand knowledge and can help you feel at home when you get there. I have been around the world (almost) but my absolute favourite destination is Venice. It is such a beautiful city - it helps that it was here where my husband proposed!I can’t wait to help you put together your dream trip - be it a weekend break in Europe or a multi-centre Australia trip of a lifetime - be assured, I will put as much care and attention into it as I would my own trip and I can work on it at a time that is convenient to you. Working from home in Royston, Herts gives me that flexibility to be there when you need me!So what are you waiting for - let’s get planning your trip!Give me a call or send me an email. -

These might be from childhood, a first trip to an exotic destination, or perhaps a trip to celebrate a special occasion. Whichever it is, one thing is for certain, holidays hold a special place in our hearts and minds and give us memories that we treasure.But putting together something as simple as a city break, let alone your dream trip, can be stressful. With the world to choose from – where is the perfect destination for us? What is the best way of booking it – direct or through an agent of some sort? Will my trip be financially protected? What if something goes wrong – how do I get help when I am away?These are all legitimate questions, and I help my clients by providing the answers.Let me introduce myself. My name is Neil.For the past 10 years it’s been my pleasure to help make every client’s holiday not just special, but hopefully one that they will talk about years later. I take pride in the service I deliver to achieve this, and really do care about making every trip you take as perfect as it can be.Why place your trust in me?Four decades of working in the travel industry, including managing a large tour operator and travelling the world to inspect hotels for over 20 years, has helped give me a unique insight into what makes the difference between a good holiday, and a truly memorable one.I build strong relationships with clients, and am fortunate that, through years of repeat bookings, many have become friends. As a Travel Counsellor, I set out to deliver on your detailed personal requirements, not just the generic travel arrangements. This means I take time to listen and understand what’s really important to you. I want to make sure your trip is everything you want it to be - it’s important to me both professionally and personally. I make sure I am available to discuss your requirements at any time, including in the evening and over the weekend. You can contact me by phone, email, or via social media sites. I would also be delighted to meet you at my office or in the comfort of your home. After your booking has been made, I will provide all the vital information you need for your trip to go smoothly. Once your holiday starts, I can monitor your itinerary, and remind you about important deadlines, ensuring everything is booked as it should be, leaving you to enjoy a stress free time away.So where will you go next?From a trip to the Cotswolds to a round-the-world tour, I can organise your memorable trip for you. It might take you across the world to the land of down under, or to the tropical delights of South-East Asia. You might have always wanted to see the Big Apple or the Grand Canyon. Maybe a cultural tour of Europe’s great capitals is your thing. Or is something more laid back your style – strolling along a white sand beach in the Caribbean perhaps?Whatever type of holiday you want, however large or small, I can certainly guide you. I deliver expert advice and take care of all your travel arrangements and needs; from the moment you leave home to the moment you get back. I hope to hear from you and start to help you create your next special memories. -

I set of on a journey around the world in 1999 which was to last nearly two years, and included over 50 countries with countless experiences - from snowmobiling in Norway, watching golden eagles swoop into Lake Dal in Kashmir, India at sunset, then sitting in Olympic Stadium during the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games.I have experienced so many different types of holiday, including several cruises, group tours, individual touring, motorhome holidays, beach holidays, which I think gives me a great insight into the holidays my clients are planning.

01202 737 101**Luxury Travel, Tailored Just for You**Your dream holiday deserves more than a click-and-book service. I’m Kerry, an independent Travel Counsellor based in sunny Poole, Dorset, and I specialise in creating bespoke, stress-free escapes that are as unique as you are.I’ve been helping clients plan unforgettable trips for many years, and my passion for travel runs deep. I’ve explored everywhere from the wilds of Canada’s Yukon - where I watched the Northern Lights dance across the sky and flew over glaciers, to the sugar-soft sands of the Maldives, the vibrant energy of Florida & Walt Disney World, the breath-taking wildlife of South Africa’s Eastern and Western Capes, the crystal-clear waters of Croatia, the unspoilt charm of the Greek Islands, the rugged beauty of Sardinia (where I honeymooned over 20 years ago), and the magical snowscapes of Lapland on an unforgettable snowmobile voyage.Every journey I’ve taken inspires me to create truly personal, one-of-a-kind holidays for my clients. I believe travel is about moments, not just destinations, whether that’s sipping cocktails on an overwater deck in the Maldives, wandering through cobbled streets in Santorini, spotting wildlife on safari in South Africa, or watching the sun set behind the mountains in Canada.Because I work independently within Travel Counsellors, I’m not tied to any airline or operator. That means I can design tailor-made itineraries that combine the best flights, hotels, and experiences into one seamless package, always fully ATOL-protected and backed by 24/7 support while you’re away.Some of my specialisms include:Luxury tailor-made escapes — from the Maldives to Mauritius, Bora Bora to Fiji!USA & Canadian road trips — Route 66, the Rockies, and coastal drivesWalt Disney World Florida — helping families plan magical, stress-free holidaysIsland-hopping — exploring Greece, Croatia, and beyondWinter wonderlands — Lapland, Northern Lights, and snowy adventuresAnd if you just want something simple, like a quick city break, a cruise, a week on the beach, or a relaxing family all-inclusive, I can help with those too.My favourite destinations I’ve loved visiting: Florida, the Maldives, Yukon, Walt Disney World, Croatia, South Africa, Sardinia, the Greek Islands, and Lapland.Coming up next:October 2025 – Madeira June 2026 – Walt Disney World Florida & Formosa Gardens Villa October 2026 – MSC cruise to IrelandBecause I work from my home office, I can speak to you at a time that suits you, even outside of standard working hours. My clients know I’m here for them every step of the way, from the first conversation until they’re safely home with a camera roll full of memories.Booking with me means:- Bespoke, personally tailored holidays - 100% financial protection - A dedicated app with your documents, live updates, and messaging - My expertise, care, and support before, during, and after your tripIf you’re dreaming about your next escape, let’s make it happen together.

01483 651056My insatiable wanderlust first began back in 2004 as I stepped barefoot on the sugar white sands of Koh Samet in Thailand. If I close my eyes, I'm right back there in a flash. Since then I've travelled to some of the world's most untouched places, collecting an encyclopedia of knowledge along the way. I've sailed to the remote Indonesian island of Flores to see Komodo dragons and swam in the incredible Kuang Si Falls of Luang Prabang. I've sipped the finest wines in South Africa's Delaire Graff Estate and shopped for spices in India's colourful markets.It’s these life-enriching moments that I love to create for my clients. Being fully independent means it's less about the corporate bottom-line and more about the client experience. Before you book, I spend time getting to really know you - the things you love and anything you loathe. Prefer a window seat on your flight? No problem. Keen to steer clear of crowds? Noted. I'll build a relationship with you that can be likened to a trusted friend, with the back-up of full ATOL financial protection should something go wrong. When it comes to the type of travel I organise, tailormade trips, luxury long-haul, honeymoons and family-friendly holidays are my expertise. For anything else, my network of 2,000+ Travel Counsellors are on hand to help me find the perfect holiday to suit your needs.If this sounds like the type of service you're looking for, I'd love to chat.

01603856590Congratulations, you have found me! I would love to show you just how passionate I am about your holidays.Yes, I love to travel. Yes, I have been around the world and back. Yes, I have decades of experience and knowledge, and I promise I will use all of this, along with my time and expert research, to create perfectly bespoke holidays that are totally tailored to your needs and desires. That is why I am a Travel Counsellor.I have always loved a challenge. Before children, I never chose a straightforward package holiday. I was forever looking for somewhere a little different, venturing off the beaten track, travelling by various modes of transport and soaking up the buzz of city breaks and cosmopolitan life.Now, with two teenagers, our holidays have simply evolved into a different kind of adventure. Instead of nap times and paddling pools, we are making memories on thrilling water slides, tackling theme parks together, trying new activities, and hunting down the best food spots and sunset viewpoints. I understand first-hand how family travel changes as children grow: from kids clubs and mini discos to older teens who want a bit more independence, Wi-Fi, space and experiences they will remember long after the selfies fade.That is why I am so passionate about designing holidays that work for your family at your stage of life: whether that is a special all-inclusive where everyone can relax, a multi-centre adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime trip further afield, or a city break carefully balanced between culture, fun and downtime.Just to name-drop a few destinations I have experienced in various ways: Australia and New Zealand, the Far East including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Laos, the Indian Ocean including the Seychelles, India, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, the Middle East, the Americas including Brazil, Mexico, various Caribbean islands, the USA including Hawaii and Alaska, and Canada. And of course, Europe is right on our doorstep, perfect for a quick weekend away, a midweek escape or a classic sunshine break.Back to you: please do get in touch by filling in the form below so I can contact you, or simply pick up the phone and give me a call. I would love to hear from you and help turn your holiday ideas into reality. Whatever is on your bucket list, we can start ticking it off together. You will never be alone throughout your holiday: you can contact us 24 hours a day, every day of the year. I am here for you. -

Based In Redditch
01527 970 007Welcome to my page. My name is Anne-Marie Banks and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Redditch (although I am able to book you your dream holiday from wherever you may live!) From a young age I have loved and been passionate about travel. I am lucky enough to have travelled across four continents and explored a wide range of destinations (though there are still many more on my “bucket list”). My first introduction into the work of a Travel Counsellor was as a customer trying to navigate the complexities of a Disneyworld trip. I was so impressed by the advice, service and overall experience that I received, that I was inspired into becoming a Travel Counsellor myself. As your personal advisor I can work with you to tailor make and organise a trip which meets your exact travel requirements; from package holidays to bespoke adventures, from city breaks to ski and snow, from cruises to safaris, I really do have it all covered. I can liaise with you at a time and place which fits into your busy schedule and take time to really understand your needs. Additionally, you yourself can rest easy in the knowledge that you have a single point of contact for all aspects of your trip meaning all the small details that transform a break from “good” to “unforgettable” can be guaranteed. As a busy, working mum I know just how precious holidays are and therefore how important it is to get it absolutely right. I look forward to hearing from you soon. -

0191 381 0094Hi everyone and welcome to my personal Travel Counsellors webpage! Fun fact: loading this up is your first step towards creating lifelong memories and the best holidays that you've ever been on.That's a pretty big claim and I'm sure there were a few eyes being rolled and some sceptical tutting, but helping you experience things that stay with you forever is why I started on this journey, it's my passion and what all of the Travel Counsellors team and suppliers fully buy in to. Caring about you and your travel companions more than you ever thought a travel agent or tour operator possibly could is what makes the business viable. If you're the kind of person that loves to research, plan & book everything themselves then why not challenge me to see if I can do better? If you don't know where to start, where you want to go, or even what a passport is then I can help with all of that. Use my expertise as little or as much as you want, and if I don't know the answer then I'll ask one of the thousands of colleagues or suppliers I have that are living, working & travelling all across the world. That's the great thing about being a Travel Counsellor - I'm totally independent. You're all different, with unique personalities and things that make you tick so I can use that to match your desires up with the perfect holiday. Remember that whatever your budget, whatever your circumstances, whatever you class as luxury, I will create trips that are for YOU at amazing value. I can create your two-week summer beach holidays, city breaks, honeymoons, cruises, stag/hen parties, road trips, safaris, back-packing, Kilimanjaro climbs, a hotel in Newport for a random FA Cup 3rd round tie and everything in between. However, if it's Disney/Universal/Orlando related then I'll be extra excited on your behalf.What about financially, can you trust me as your Travel Counsellor? Absolutely. Customer funds are held in a trust and we only work with suppliers that agree to be paid once you're home. If things aren't delivered then no ifs, no buts, your money is paid back. Packages are ATOL protected and when Covid-19 hit, guess which company was voted best by MoneySavingExpert for how they dealt with their customers during the pandemic? Travel Counsellors, and by some margin.I could type all day about what sets Travel Counsellors apart, and if you have any other questions about the business then please get in touch. Now a little bit about me. I love to be methodical and plan everything. If a spreadsheet can be made to assist then you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be creating one. This mentality has been fully invested in becoming a Travel Counsellor and should give you the confidence that each part of your itinerary is there for a very well-considered reason. In my spare time I operate a personal chauffeur service for my two wonderful kids to ensure they never miss any of their activities. You may hear me question how often the car needs filling with diesel but watching them train and play for their grassroots teams is probably my 'happy place'. As a family, we love to travel, anything from a Spanish all-inclusive, Orlando theme parks or to sporting events and gigs. We recently transformed a room within our house into a pub including a big screen, memorabilia and dart board where we spend a lot of time with our friends whilst losing to our 10-year old at darts with ever increasing regularity. My contact details can be found on this page and I can make myself available whenever suits. Want to talk holidays after you've put the kids to bed, not a problem. Fancy meeting for a brew and cake whilst going over your requirements - champion! Let's do this. -

I pride myself on my customer service and being personal, working with you to find the best holiday for you, whilst using my knowledge and passion for travel. Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Lucie and I am originally from North Yorkshire in the UK. I recently relocated back to South Manchester, after spending 13 years in Dubai. I moved to Dubai in 2011, with my Husband, to follow our dreams of living abroad. Our son was born in Dubai 8 years ago and has also developed a passion for travel, going on his first cruise around the Mediterranean in 2019. I had a break from working in the travel industry to have my son, however, prior to that, I worked in the industry for 10 years, in various roles from Leisure to Corporate travel. I also studied an AVCE in Travel and Tourism and have lived in Germany as a child and explored Germany and other countries close by, I feel this set me on the path to having the travel bug.I went on to study German at university and lived there whilst studying. When I finished my studies, I took a year out to go backpacking around Australia and Asia. Whilst working for an international airline my Husband and I travelled to over 26 countries and over 100 cities. Travel really is my passion, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy all sorts of holidays from backpacking around Australia, to cruising the Mediterranean, to a safari in Kenya on the Masai Mara and even attending a friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. More recently we have taken up skiing as a Family. My son learnt to ski on the sunny slopes of Dubal Mall's indoor ski area, so he developed a passion for skiing. Since then, we have travelled to Azerbaijan and most recently New Jersey for ski holidays. During the pandemic we were limited in terms of travel, however we managed to experience lots of amazing staycations in Dubai. Since then, we have travelled to the Maldives, Mauritius and Ski Lanka, as well as enjoying the ski trips. Having worked in the travel industry my whole career, I have strong knowledge about various destinations and can create tailor-made packages to suit your budget, so please do get in touch with me. I look forward to hearing from you and planning your next trip! -

I was then fortunate enough to tick many more destinations off my bucket list, with highlights being visits to Iguassu Falls in Brazil, the Taj Mahal in India and viewing the Big 5 in South Africa. I spent 9 years working as a Tailor-made Travel Consultant and Supervisor. My expertise lies in First & Business travel although I’m more than happy to arrange any type of trip.What I love most about working for Travel Counsellors is that I am able to take time to truly get to know you on a personal level and understand exactly what your requirements are. I can then tailor-make a unique and bespoke itinerary especially for you. Booking a holiday is a very personal (and I believe exciting) experience so it’s imperative to get it right! As an independent agent, I have the freedom and flexibility to find you the perfect holiday match as well as offer you impartial advice along the way. I have no ties or loyalties with specific suppliers – my loyalties lie firmly with you.My Mission is to always exceed your expectations. I will offer you an unparalleled level of customer service which in turn will add enormous value to your whole holiday experience. Nothing is too much trouble.I work from my home office in Beeston so have the time and flexibility to devote to you, whatever time of the day you need it. As a busy working mum of 3 young children myself, I fully understand that standard office hours are not always convenient!So whether it’s a luxurious Safari in South Africa, a motorhome self-drive through New Zealand, a cruise around the Mediterranean, or even a simple (yet much needed) family beach holiday, please get in touch. I would love to help you plan your next adventure! -

07781 428662Hello, my name is Nicki Harrison and I'm a Travel Counsellor based in Guernsey. I provide a personal travel service using my years of experience as a travel agent, valued customer feedback and the award-winning technology provided by Travel Counsellors to create unique travel itineraries that will leave you with stories to last a lifetime. A quote that truly resonates with me is one from Ibn Battuta... “Travelling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” I have a myriad of wonderful stories to share thanks to the travels I've been so lucky to enjoy, and I love to hear your stories in return. I aim to provide the best service I can to our Guernsey community, but my service is much more than just making a booking. I'll be on hand to help you with all the little touches that will make your trip special and just a message or call away should you need any help while abroad. As a born and bred Guernsey donkey, I understand the needs of local travellers and aim to make the world feel that little bit more accessible. My goal is to be approachable and inclusive, an ethos that's based around the idea of togetherness... working with you to bring the destinations on your bucket list that little bit closer. At every step of your travel journey, you will receive the best care I can offer. I'll always take the time to get to know you and what will make your trip extra special. From visiting you at home or at a favoured cafe to start chatting about your plans, to getting all the arrangements sorted, making sure any dietary, medical or mobility needs are taken care of, delivering your tickets and then catching up when you get home. Becoming a mum in 2024 also opened my eyes to the world of family travel and the priorities of parents. Whether you have a youngster like me or travelling as part of a multi-generational party, I can help to make sure everyone's needs are catered for. Shortly after starting my career in travel, I have been developing my interest in special occasion holidays such as weddings and honeymoons. I hold a City & Guilds qualification in Travel & Tourism as well as an online diploma in Wedding and Event Management and have spent years helping couples from all walks of life to arrange memorable trips to celebrate their special moments. Whether it's a short city break or an around the world adventure, the key to building the perfect trip is in the detail and I hope to be able to help create an authentic, bespoke itinerary just for you soon. As your personal Travel Counsellor, I want to ensure your holiday is ‘once in a lifetime’ every time. -

0118 329 0061Hello, I'm your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Mortimer near Reading I caught the travel bug many years ago. My first real trip outside of the UK was a train journey from my home town of Glasgow to Germany at the age of 16 on a 3-month visa. I travelled throughout what was known then as West Germany. I loved every moment. I enjoyed the food, practicing the language and generally just taking in what Germany had to offer. I have since been lucky enough to have travelled and lived in many European destinations. I have enjoyed worldwide holidays to lots of destinations and have travelled within the USA to places such as Hawaii, Utah, New York, Florida and Cuba to name but a few. I arranged my own wedding in Las Vegas followed by our honeymoon in California. I have been fortunate to have visited Egypt several times and have witnessed many changes throughout the years. I have had ridden on the back of an elephant in India and visited the wonderful city of Petra, a sight to behold. We have a bucket list for our round trip of Australia that included Christmas day on sunny beach Queensland in 2016, crossing Sydney Harbour Bridge in the summer 2017 and watching dolphins as the sun went down on Fraser Island. We continue our journey in Melbourne 2019. I have been on many more holidays such as cruises, family trips and girl’s weekend’s home and away. I would be more than happy to share any of my experiences with you. Combining all of the above along with my travel knowledge and the backing of Travel Counsellors this is proving to be a winning formula. I am able to offer you advice and recommendations on all types of holidays across the globe. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I have the time and flexibility to provide you with a comprehensive and personal service. Being independent and impartial means I can offer you great choices, great prices and full ATOL protection. I love all aspects of travel and over the years have organised trips to most countries in the world. I really enjoy the process of someone handing me an idea and giving them back the dream. Let me look after all your travel needs be it families, couples, solo travellers, long or short haul, leisure or business, bespoke tours or beach breaks I'm here for you. -

0191 640 3770Hello, my name is Susan and I am a Travel Counsellor based in the Northeast of England. After a spell in London of ten years I returned to the Northeast to re-connect with my Geordie roots.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I have worked within the travel industry for twenty two years. During this time I have specialised in a range of travel including Corporate Travel, Worldwide and European Tailor-made Holidays, Ski Holidays, VIP Luxury Travel and Wellbeing Spa Holidays. I absolutely pride myself on my dedication to create the perfect holiday/trip for all of my clients, whether they need to travel on Business or they are requiring a complete get away from it all. No matter which area of travel I have worked in I have created long lasting and personal relationships along the way.Travel is my ultimate passion! I love to travel to new destinations, meeting the locals and experiencing new cultures and customs. I will always remember what that dream holiday means to you or how important it is that you arrive on time for your business meeting. Wellbeing is also my other passion, could it be that you are now looking for something more than a holiday and you need “a life changing experience” this is where I can offer advice and create the right holiday for you. During my years in travel I have been extremely fortunate and have travelled extensively worldwide however The Far East has a truly special place in my heart, in particular India, Thailand and Vietnam. There is something for everyone in all of these destinations from beach holidays in Goa to the birthplace of yoga or the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the laid back lifestyle on the islands. Maybe you want to travel to an Asian country which is less visited? Then Vietnam is the answer, a mixture of history, culture, golf, spa and stunning beaches, this truly healing country will leave you feeling energised and wanting to return time and time again.I understand that to create your perfect trip takes time and planning and needs to be done at a time to suit you therefore I can offer a fully flexible service working around you and the times you are available, what is important to me is that you are 100% satisfied with the choice that you make.
