Hello, my name is Dean Wilson – thank you for your interest in Travel Counsellors.After many years working for leading high-street travel agencies, I now enjoy the freedom to spend as much time as necessary organising my clients’ holidays properly. I’ve been running my own Travel Counsellors business for 20 years, and my work is built almost entirely on recommendations from existing customers – something I’m incredibly proud of. Many of my clients have been booking with me for well over 20 years, which I think says a lot about the level of service and care I offer.With over 35 years’ experience in the travel industry, I combine extensive personal knowledge with some of the best technology available. I have access to a vast range of trusted suppliers worldwide and specialise in tailor-made holidays, luxury and long-haul travel, cruises, ski holidays and corporate travel. Every booking is treated as if it were my own.Travel remains a huge passion of mine, and I firmly believe that first-hand experience makes a real difference. More recently, my travels have included staying at Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, cruising on Oceania Cruises’ latest ship, and enjoying adventures in Bergen, Turkey and Morocco. Closer to home, I’ve also spent time exploring Derbyshire and the Scottish Highlands – proof that outstanding travel experiences don’t always require a long-haul flight.No matter what your requirements – from a simple short break to a once-in-a-lifetime trip – I would welcome the opportunity to chat through your plans, with no obligation. My aim is simple: to make booking your holiday easy, personal and completely stress-free.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my webpage.I fell into travel as a profession accidently as it happens. In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do. During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer.Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations.In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.I very much look forward to looking after you.

Hi, my name is Dawn Scott, and I am an independent travel agent from Edinburgh area. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to give clients the very best personal service and travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have over 18 years of travel experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world. Travel Counsellors is a world leading, independent company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and technology that provides personalised information about all of your bookings in real time on your app. Using the technology we have I will tailor the right holiday to your individual needs, whether it is a staycation, city break, a week in the sun or an adventure in faraway places. This means I can build your very own bespoke holiday and save you money! Which is always a bonus!Many people are still unaware that most high street agents are restricted in selling a limited number of tour operators but here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent, and this allows me to offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company. I know that our lives have become busier and not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours therefore you will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you when most travel agencies are unavailable. Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal and professional service from the comfort of your own home. If you would like any information or simply an informal chat about your future travel plans, I would be delighted to assist you.

Hi I'm Pam and welcome to my page.I live in the Rochdale area and have worked within the travel industry for more than 31 years so it’s relatively safe to say I know a thing or two about travel.My client base is extensive and rapidly growing for both business and leisure. My business is based on referrals, so I like to think my growth is down to the high level of service I provide, which most important of all provides you, the customer, with total peace of mind.As you are probably aware the industry is rapidly changing. In order to meet the challenge of change we at Travel Counsellors are equipped with the most up to date technology that permits me to give you, the customer, precise advice that is geared totally around your own individual requirements.Why Travel Counsellors and not a high street agency you may ask yourself? On the high street the conventional method of selling is directional. Therefore you’ll be recommended specific companies which benefit that particular high street agency. In contrast, I’m completely independent so I have no ties to any particular tour operator or supplier. I’ll recommend the holiday that is right for you and is geared to your individual requirements. In addition, I offer a 24 hour service. I’m always available, and it will always be me that you deal with as there are no call centres. I’ll be there on the end of the phone should you require anything prior, during, or after your trip.So if you want a holiday that is as individual as you, where your business is valued and not just a sales statistic, be it a cruise, UK break, ferry or flight, why not give me a try?I look forward to hearing from you.All the BestPam

I have always loved travelling; the opportunity to visit exciting countries and experience diverse cultures is surely one of life’s greatest luxuries. I have taken that passion for travel into my work as I love arranging holidays and booking trips for my clients. I offer a bespoke, personal service backed-up by years of experience in the travel industry. I have the instincts to recognise what clients want as well as the knowledge of how to find the best bookings for them. The Travel Counsellors network provides all the support necessary to make sure that through me you will receive the best possible care and the best possible deals.In my time I have been lucky enough to travel across almost every continent on the planet – Antarctica remains a goal for the future! My favourite part of the world remains the Far East; not least because it brings back happy memories from my honeymoon in Burma but also due to wonderful trips to Cambodia, Borneo and Thailand amongst others. The levels of service, care and attention to detail that you receive as a guest in the Far East always amazes me and always has me longing to go back.In addition to the Far East I have travelled through India, Australia and New Zealand, the Amazonian rain forest and the Masai Mara. The two most striking places that I have visited must be the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Utah’s Monument Valley – not least due to its complete contrast to nearby Las Vegas.It’s not just exotic holidays that I can help you with. I also have extensive knowledge of European destinations as well as within the British Isles and I am here to help you with every type of booking.Like you I expect the highest standards when I travel. As my client you can rest easy knowing that all your travel needs will be looked after to the highest possible degree throughout your booking and holiday experience.

Hi, I’m Amy. Mum to my adventurous two‑year‑old, Ruben, partner to my favourite travel companion, Ben. Travel has shaped so many of our happiest memories, from spontaneous escapes before becoming parents to discovering new places through Ruben’s curious eyes. Becoming a mum has only made my love for travel stronger. For years, the Maldives was my favourite destination. Then Mauritius came along and completely surprised me. That feeling of discovering somewhere that captures your heart is exactly what I want to help create for my clients. I’ve always loved the excitement of planning a trip, but I know not everyone feels the same. Many people simply don’t have the time to research every detail or the confidence to know they’re making the right choices. That’s where I come in. When I discovered Travel Counsellors, I realised how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who listens, understands and handles everything with care. Now I offer that same support to my clients. My approach is personal and completely tailored to you. I take the time to understand what matters most, whether that is relaxation, adventure, family time or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I handle every detail so you can focus on making memories. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can travel with complete peace of mind. Whether you are dreaming of a far‑flung escape, a family holiday or something totally unique, I am here to make it seamless. When I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me chasing after Ruben, exploring new places as a family or daydreaming about our next adventure. So, let’s turn your travel dreams into reality and discover the world with confidence and ease.

Just imagine the horror on my Mum’s face when, at the innocent age of 7, I announced to all and sundry that “I want to be a new age traveller”. Shortly followed by the proclamation that actually, “I don’t care as long as I can just travel anywhere I like!”Who would have known that over 30 years later I would have travelled around the world twice, visited over 80 countries, spent three summer’s teaching sailing and water sports abroad and forged a career in marketing and accountancy. After volunteering in a South African township for six months, I made the biggest decision of my life so far - to transform my life of travel into a productive future of inspiring, planning and creating holidays and breaks away for other people.Having lived in the Stratford upon Avon area and Evesham for most of my life, I have incredible support from friends, family and clients throughout Warwickshire and the neighbouring counties as well as worldwide. Since July 2020, I now have idyllic Keswick to call home and have created a beautiful network of friends up here who share similar passions and interests and definitely keep me fit and active!I love being ‘the one to call’ for advice, top tips and inspiration for all travel requirements – no matter what type of trip it is! I am a member of local sports clubs and have built foundations as a trusted advisor and partner for my peers not only for their personal holidays but their business travel as well.Whether you are considering a leisure break; a long weekend in London, honeymoon to Mauritius, family safari to Africa – or just know that you want to plan a getaway; I will support you all the way to make sure every last detail of your holiday is perfect. In fact, I will likely end up knowing more about your preferences than you do yourself!If you're looking for advice and an agency partner for your business travel, my services are second to none, and your hassles and stresses from this will vanish immediately. I will source hotels, flights and conference centres as required at highly competitive prices, all management information can be discussed and sent as regularly as required.My passion is travel and I would love to share my knowledge and expertise with you – so please follow me on my social media channels and give me a call / send an email so we can begin planning your next journey.

Please have a look through my customers testimonials and contact me should you need any further information. I look forward to speaking with you! Lauren

Travel is my destiny – I knew that when I was 4 years old and tried selling a holiday to my 1-year-old sister… with little success. This didn’t faze me though, on the contrary. We were fortunate to be able to travel to many places in Europe when we were growing up and before long, I was the one arranging our high-school end-of-term trip to the South of France.To properly kickstart my career in the industry, I studied Travel and Tourism Management in my home country, Switzerland, and as a reward to myself for graduating, I packed my backpack (or two and the kitchen sink – it was in 2006 after all, long before smart phones and a lot of the bulk was from guide books and maps) and flew on my own to São Paulo to start my South and North America backpacking trip. Over the course of 10 months, I travelled mainly overland through Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Louisiana, the US East Coast, Ontario, Alaska, British Columbia and all along the Pacific Coast to LA. It was absolutely amazing and an unforgettable experience – especially the 52 hours on the bus from Salta (Argentina) to Lima (Peru). A little fun fact: In the last 20 years I have lived in 6 different countries including a summer holiday in Iceland, working in the local hostel and a season working in a hotel on Gran Canaria. By far my favourite places were Vancouver as a city and New Zealand as a country though and the places I went back to several times; I even got married in a small coastal town outside Christchurch/NZ to my Kiwi husband. Our first major trip as a new family was last year, when we finally introduced our pre-schooler to our NZ family as well as friends in Vancouver - only three years later than originally planned, thanks to Covid.Another outcome of the pandemic was me losing my job with the Switzerland Travel Centre, a specialist tour operator for Switzerland. During my time there I worked closely with Travel Counsellors and remembering my chats with a number of my favourite TCs was the catalyst for me to start my own journey as an independent travel advisor and franchise owner. Now I cannot wait to explore the world with Travel Counsellors, my family and of course you! I love sharing my experiences and knowledge – as a travel agent as well as fellow traveller and am looking forward to convert your dreams into stories and memories.

I have been in travel for over 15 years & feel extremely fortunate to have visited a number spectacular destinations including The Maldives, Kenya and South Africa, Vietnam and Cambodia, Mauritius and Dubai, Caribbean and The USA and a whole host of European Destinations. Having travelled to such wonderful destinations enables me to share my own incredible experiences with my clients. I specialise in designing bespoke, personal holiday arrangements. From incredible honeymoons to cultural escapes, family getaways through to safari adventures, wellness retreats and city breaks. I create truly unforgettable, tailor-made travel experiences for my valued clients. With so much information out there and so many bewildering options, it can soon become overwhelming and stressful. Holidays are the best thing in life (in my view!), and this process should be a pleasure, so let me do the hard work. I love being able to offer my clients a flexible service and often outside of business hours!I look forward to hearing from you soon.

I like to really get to know you and what you want to get out of your holiday experience. I will ask plenty of questions to build something for you and I won't give up until its perfect - I love a challenge. As I am home based, I am available at a time to suit you including weekends and evenings. I am contactable over the telephone, via email and face to face too, so happy to communicate the way you prefer. Over the 18 years managing a travel agency, I have obtained extensive knowledge on long-haul destinations and also on destinations closer to home. I have tailor-made itineraries but also made many arrangements for family holidays who are working towards a particular budget. I worked at cruise events and have cruised personally myself since the age of 11 which gives me the ability to make valid recommendations for you. I also ran successful events at the National Wedding shows in London, arranging destination weddings for larger and intimate groups of friends and family and their once in a lifetime honeymoon trips.I understand its important for you to feel that you are in safe hands and have confidence when making your travel plans. You can rest assured knowing you have choice, flexibility and financial protection when booking with a Travel Counsellor. So whether its an action packed adventure or a cultured city break, a family holiday by the beach or a cruise around the Caribbean, no enquiry is too big or too small and everyone receives the same high level of service and attention to detail. The only limit to my service is packing your suitcase, otherwise I am there every step of the way. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Andrea and I’m based in Devon where I live with my husband and grown up children. I have worked within the Travel Industry for over 35 years and during that time I’ve been very fortunate to visit some amazing destinations. I love all things travel, so whether I’m lying on a beach in The Maldives, sampling street food in Asia or on a cultural tour in a city, I’m in my happy place. I’m often asked about my favourite experience and it has to be climbing Kilimanjaro, the roof of Africa. A truly unforgettable moment and one of my toughest adventures yet! I’m proud to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as it gives me access to the very latest technology, with the freedom to book what’s right for my customers, safe in the knowledge that your money has the best financial protection in the business. Please get in touch. There’s no need to spend hours searching online for ideas, give me a call.

Holidays are: making memories, spending time together, having adventures, ticking off bucket lists exploring new environments, discovering exciting new sensations and travelling to places we once couldn't dream of…I understand that your time is precious and I offer a service that focuses on the details of your holiday to get it right for you and your travel companions - whether that be family or friends. With my years of experience in the industry and extensive travel history to places nearby and far-flung, I will add value to your holiday with personal recommendations you can't find by searching the internet.My attention to detail, passion for travel, and friendly, determined approach will ensure a smooth travel booking journey and will take the weight of "planning the perfect holiday" off your shoulders. My ultimate goal is to save you time and send you on a fantastic and memorable holiday. My collaboration with Travel Counsellors allows me the flexibility to access many different suppliers across the industry and offer you financial protection in uncertain times. This gives you peace of mind that you are in great hands, no matter what.On a more personal note, my passion for travel began whilst I was studying photography. During my time at university, I embarked on extended trips across Europe and Indonesia. Initially intent on travel photography, I spent 12 months on a round-the-world journey before realising that a career in travel - sending people on once-in-a-lifetime trips - was the way forward.Camera in hand, I have hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, volcanoes in New Zealand and Half Dome in Yosemite alongside many other fantastic walks. I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you.

Well, Hello There, My name is Danielle, I am super pleased you have taken the time to pop over and check out my profile. I would like to say a warm welcome to you and introduce myself. I am a Travel Counsellor and I live in (not so) sunny Bolton, Manchester. Given my locations, is it really any wonder I have a passion for travel and getting away to those warmer and sometimes colder climates! As the tale goes, everyone who works in travel loves to travel and I am no exception to this. From dream destinations, amazing city breaks, cruises, relaxing sunshine holidays, far east expeditions through to ski trips, I have been on, and love them all. So, a bit about myself, after spending over 10 years over in the IT side of the world working with Travel Companies on their travel systems, travel websites and travel products focussed on smoothing out the ever-complicated holiday customer journey, it is safe to say I know how challenging it can be to sort your own holiday. Trawling through multiple websites, pouring over Tripadvisor reviews, looking endlessly at hotels and holidays, seeing different flights over here and different hotels over there, to then, when you eventually decide on 'the one' and you hover over the all-important ‘Book’ button, you find the price increases putting you right back at square one. Well here I am, I can take all that hard work away, and create amazing holiday experiences for you and the ones you love whilst you sit back and relax. I’ll work with you to understand your travel dreams, wants and needs and then work my magic to explore and find the perfect destination and itinerary just for you ticking all of your boxes and more. So, whether you have a destination, hotel, or tour in mind, or if you are ready to be inspired, let me take care of all your travel needs. Given my own personal travel experiences and industry knowledge, I can support you in any and all destinations and experiences. Whether your ideal holiday is relaxing and re-charging on a beach, exploring a city and all it has to offer with friends, making magical moments with little kids and those big ones, starting married life in style with the most luxurious honeymoon, finally doing the once in a lifetime trip you have been dreaming of, or exploring a little closer to home in the UK, I can arrange every single aspect and take the hassle away for you. My previous IT life still stays with me, meaning I am all about the details, making sure nothing gets missed or overlooked. Whether this a dinner reservation, hotel spa appointment, a visit to the local museum, or advising of the best view spots or must do boat trips, rest assured I can include these into your holiday so all you need to do is just turn up and enjoy. I look forward to building a great relationship with you to create amazing holiday experiences for you, your family, and friends. It’s my passion to understand your WHY for travelling, whether that is relaxation, reconnecting, exploring or finding yourself through travel, I am here for you to ensure wonderful memories are made and you experience what this big wide world has to offer.Lastly, don’t forget these two things, booking with Travel Counsellors means every single part of your holiday is 100% financially protected giving you absolute piece of mind for your holiday, and I am here to support you, from our first conversation all the way through to when you come back …and we discuss where is next on the destination list. I cannot wait to chat more with you, wherever your heart desires to go, I am here to make it happen.

I have also been on most cruise ships. Hello, my name is Michelle Leonard as you can see I really do love travel. I have travelled extensively and can confidently pass on my knowledge to help fulfil your holiday dreams. In 2022 I travelled to Majorca , Morocco , Cyprus to participate in a beautiful Wedding, Malaga City , Chania ( Crete ) Canada visiting Toronto Niagara Falls , Quebec , Montreal and Ottawa and was also very lucky to sail on Regent Seven Seas Voyager with a stay in Rome - what a great year catching up on amended and cancelled trips from the last few years. My favourite place has to be Mauritius - my idea of heaven. Beautiful hotels, beaches, service and standards all in all perfect and a very special destination. I have also been on many cruises both European and in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal which was a truly amazing experience which I will remember forever. Antigua and Grenada came very close to Mauritius both amazing special destinations. I also love Florida I have been around 15 times so know it very well, I could talk to you about Florida for hours! I became a Personal Travel Counsellor because quite simply I take pride in offering the highest level of personalised customer service to my many clients.

I am proud to be a Travel Counsellor, we offer a great service and huge commitment to our customers and now as a company have a 24 hour duty office so there is always someone there for you as well as myself.I have worked in the travel industry for 39 years now, originally working for two multiples on the high street where I progressed to management levels prior to starting a family. I chose to join Travel Counsellors 20 years ago because they care about their customers, working with state of the art technology and offer fantastic head office support to assist me in my role. I have a huge client base now and most of my customers have become personal friends. They help me by passing my details to their colleagues, friends and family which now means I am busy most of the year and as my children are now 28 and 27 years old and need less attention I have more time though our Grandchildren aged 11 , 4 and 1 do keep me busy. I do love the fact that I can work much more flexible hours to suit my customers' needs as they can contact me at any time of the day or night whichever suits them best whether that be a weekend or an evening.I aim to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that every travel arrangement meets and better still, exceeds your expectations. Allow me to turn your dream holiday into reality. I really will look after you. The industry changes constantly but a key aspect now in travel is that you are looked after if you need us whilst overseas ....I feel this has brought many clients back to me over the years as there is nothing worse than something going wrong whilst you are away and you have no one to discuss it with, all my clients have my personal mobile number as I do theirs to keep an eye on them whilst they are away.I very much look forward to speaking to you , please feel free to give me a call.

Welcome and thank you for visiting my webpage.I became a Travel Counsellor after a long and distinguished career at two of the UK's leading tour operators and wanting to re-introduce the values of what a tour operator/travel agent should be offering you. Booking a holiday or a business trip is more than a simple retail transaction. It is more important than that to you and it is more important than that to me. It is something that is personal and should be handled with the care and attention it deserves.Being a Travel Counsellor means that we can offer you what you require – it isn’t limited to one supplier or one product, it is a means to be independent and offer you what you want, be that a speedy process, an in-depth discussion about a destination, a hotel or a mode of transport, the most luxury or the best value. Each requirement is different but we are experienced in understanding travel. More often than not you will want to discuss and plan your holidays and business trips over the phone/videocall although I am happy to meet in person too.My own personal travel experience spans approximately ninety countries from the incredibly exotic Maldives and Mauritius (including my own wedding) to the more adventurous India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Guatemala and Japan, to the business hubs of New York, Hong Kong and Singapore. So, whether you are looking for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Australia and New Zealand, your annual winter holiday to the Caribbean, a family holiday to USA or a romantic weekend in Paris there are a multitude of holidays that can be arranged to suit you for your next adventure. As you can probably tell I am passionate about most places I have travelled to (and places still on the to do travel list) but do give me a call and we can even discuss my other favourites that I haven't even mentioned here. I also enjoy documenting my travels in the journals that you can read below along with trying to improve my photography which you can see within them.With all Travel Counsellors, we pride ourselves on the service we provide and the value this brings to our customers. We are all independent, meaning we can provide you with the holiday you require and we can design it to suit your needs and desires. All types of holidays can be catered for from cruises to adventure tours to tailormade holidays to business trips and private tours.It may be an itinerary that you find daunting to put together yourself, or you just want the reassurance of being able to contact someone at any time either before you go or while you are away or it may be that you like to have that feeling of being financially protected or someone to help with giving you good value and inspiration and ideas, we can do all this and more.I very much look forward to hearing from you and discussing your travel plans.

From Antigua to Zanzibar the world is your oyster - with my help you can find your pearl!Hi, my name is Sally, and I am an independent travel agent in Suffolk, with nearly 30 years' experience in travel (& I’ve been a Travel Counsellor since March 2002). My main specialities are luxury holidays, in particular but not limited to North America, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Italy, cruises, city breaks & honeymoons. I have first-hand experience of getting married abroad in the Seychelles - a destination that holds a very special place in my heart and which I have now visited 6 times. I have also visited Antigua 9 times (I just have to keep going back!). Italy is another of my happy places, and I have a good understanding of Italian.You may wonder why you should book with me and not through the internet? Well that's easy to answer:• I check holidays every day and, once I know a bit more about you and your preferences, I can quickly find the most suitable options for you. Internet "deals" are not always what they seem, as computers are just machines and only as good as your own input. I cannot always match or beat internet prices because the internet just doesn’t provide the same expertise, recommendations, advice, care and service that we do. However, I always strive to provide best VALUE. • I will do all the hard work and save you the time and hassle that comes with trying to DIY or deal with the “production line” in a shop or call centre, and I will give that personal human touch (which can be so rare these days) to your booking experience. • Travel Counsellors is independent so, unlike some high street and online agents, we are not tied to a limited number of tour operators or biased by incentives or in-house brands. I therefore always explore multiple options to find or tailor-make the right holiday at the right price, and always sell what is right for you rather than what is right for me. I can also tailor-make your holiday to make it totally “yours” by adding unique and special touches. • You will only ever need to deal with one person – me! (or a trusted like-minded colleague if I’m away on holiday myself) and you will get a prompt response without having to wait in a call-centre queue. I will personally look after your holiday with the same care and attention to detail that I would for my own, and am easily contactable at a time to suit you, even outside normal working hours no matter how simple or complex you feel your query is – from the initial enquiry right until after you return home. • Everything you book through me is fully financially protected, and should there be any unexpected issues while you’re away, your airline goes bust or is on strike, or another Ash cloud looms, you only need to call me or our 24 hour emergency Duty Office and things will be sorted for you - you will never be left to sort things out alone. You can therefore relax knowing that all you need to worry about is enjoying your holiday and making those special memories. • I’m well-travelled (to date I have visited over 50 countries), patient, and have a good sense of humour. Whether you fancy a short break in England, a world cruise – or anything in between, I am here to help with professional, impartial advice, often from first-hand experience, and although I work from home I have the support of over 1,500 colleagues worldwide to give extra advice, tips and recommendations where required.• My business (and reputation) is built on providing the highest possible levels of service and independent advice (and occasional friendly banter about football!), and I have customers all over the UK and Europe, so wherever you are based I can help you. So, if this sounds like the holiday booking experience you are looking for, don’t drown yourself in information & starve yourself of wisdom! I will be delighted to assist you, and I will go that extra mile, so that you can too.

A simple telephone call, Facebook message or email from you to discuss your needs is all it takes. From there I can take the reins and guide you, with my knowledge, experience and personal attention, to book the perfect destination for you.Although the term 'Counsellor' suggests an advice service, my service stretches far beyond that.

I have over 17 years’ experience as a front-line sales consultant for a leading travel company. Based in Kensington, I worked in the First and Business Class department since 1997, where I managed both corporate and high-end leisure clients’ travel arrangements. This comprehensive service has included flights, accommodation, passport and visa information and relevant immunisation requirements.Over this period, I have built up a strong relationship not only with my clients but also with leading airlines and hotels around the world. I have an extensive knowledge of the aviation industry and how the seemingly complicated fare structures work. I pride myself on simplifying the most complicated itinerary, and will always go the extra mile to exceed my clients’ expectations and requirements.The most rewarding part of my job has been providing nothing less than the full package; an efficient, prompt, accurate and friendly service, no matter how demanding or urgent the request may be.I have travelled widely across the world, and have been lucky enough in my career to have visited many memorable places. Some of the highlights have included hot-air ballooning in Northern Queensland, sand boarding on the dunes in Namibia, viewing glaciers and camping in the High Arctic and crossing 9 time zones on the Trans Siberian Railway. Although beach holidays in the Caribbean and Oman never fail to recharge my batteries!I have lived in London all my life and am now a father of three young children, so my travel is less long-haul, and more UK and European. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I will always be on call and here to assist you with all your travel needs. I look forward to hearing from you and making your travel arrangements as seamless as possible.

Hello fellow travel lovers,I am Sarah Edwards, a Travel Concierge and Events Specialist based in Cobham, Surrey. I design tailor-made holidays and experiences around the world, from family adventures and weekend getaways to destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, surprise engagements, corporate events, and wellness retreats. Whatever the occasion, I love helping clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories.I am also proud to be a Middle East expert, with particular expertise in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Having lived and travelled extensively in the region, I can offer first-hand insight into its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and hidden gems—whether you are seeking a luxurious desert escape, a cultural journey, or a blend of both.Travel has been a lifelong passion of mine that began in childhood with family holidays every school break. From long road trips across Europe to thrilling safaris in South Africa, cruises around the Caribbean, and magical family adventures in Orlando, travel quickly became a defining part of who I am.I grew up in the South of France and speak both English and French fluently. Over the years, I have lived in France, England, Switzerland, the United States, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of life. Having explored more than 48 countries, I love immersing myself in local traditions, wandering through neighbourhoods, tasting regional dishes, and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals.Before turning my passion into my full-time career, I spent more than 15 years in banking, most recently as a Managing Director and Chief of Staff. During this time, I managed large-scale corporate events, which refined my ability to manage complex logistics, anticipate challenges, and deliver exceptional experiences. I have also run my own wedding planning business, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of every detail in creating truly memorable and beautifully executed celebrations, allowing me to craft events of all kinds with care and precision.My personal favourite destination is AlUla in Saudi Arabia, a breathtaking and still largely undiscovered region of dramatic desert landscapes, ancient Nabatean tombs, and immersive cultural experiences. It truly is a place like no other.That said, I will always have a soft spot for Provence, where I spent much of my childhood. The rolling lavender fields, charming hilltop villages, and relaxed pace of life keep me returning time and again. It feels like home.Through Travel Counsellors, I have access to a global network of trusted suppliers and exclusive travel products, allowing me to design bespoke holidays and events to suit every style and occasion, all with full financial protection for complete peace of mind.Because I am completely independent and not tied to any supplier, every journey I create is uniquely tailored to you, with impartial advice, personal attention, and care from start to finish.I cannot wait to help you plan your next unforgettable experience.Warmest wishes, Sarah

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true. You will also have peace of mind knowing that you have the security of booking via a reputable company like Travel Counsellors who are there for you pre trip, during and post trip and more importantly around the clock when anything unpredicatble happens.

As most people in travel will say, travel is a "real" passion of mine, when I'm not actually on holiday, experiencing all the sights, sounds and new and exciting food, I'm either thinking about my next holiday, planning my next holiday, or cajoling my hubby into choosing one with me! The next best thing to that though is providing my customers with the holiday of their dreams. There is nothing better than tailoring a holiday for someone who has been dreaming about their once in a lifetime experience, talking and walking them through it, so I get it just right, meticulously planning every detail for them, even things they've not thought of themselves, so it's trouble free and creating lifelong memories. As your very own personal Travel Counsellor, I listen to everything you want from your holiday, I want to truly understand what you're looking for, be it a luxury escape, a safari experience, a gorgeous cruise, or simply a cottage in the country. I will handle every detail, making it seamless.I've travelled extensively myself, as well as working overseas for many years, my absolute favourite place to go is The Greek Islands, I can recommend so many different islands based on the information you tell me, I also love Spain, The Caribbean, America, Thailand, to name just a few.As a Travel Counsellor, we are globally recognised, we offer complete financial protection, from the moment you leave to when you return home I provide 24/7 support and you have the added support of real-time updates on your travel plans through your personalised App.I don't watch the clock, I don't work 9-5pm, I'm available to suit your schedule, I will take all the stress away from you when planning your holiday so you can concentrate on enjoying it fully, because I truly care about your enjoyment, I understand the investment that goes into a holiday, and whilst the holiday I design for you might cost a little more, the value and peace of mind you receive is incomparable with any holiday off the shelf.It would be my pleasure to help you embark on your next holiday adventure, so why not give me a try?

Hi, my name is Maria, I was born and bred in Somerset, and seem to have a strong West Country "Farmer" accent! so people tell me! I always knew since school I either wanted to a a Travel Agent or a Florist and lucky for me, I got a job in Travel at the aged of 16 and have never left the industry! From starting out working in Tour Operations putting together Tailor-made Bespoke Rugby Tours to continuing through the travel agencies on the high Street to now being a Business Owner for the last 20 years. Having my own business gives my the flexibility to work the hours that suit me and my clients and that can look like a Teams call, clients visiting my office in Midsomer Norton (by appointment) or me meeting them for coffee or a breakfast perhaps, or visiting them at home at a time that suits them. My working hours are very different each week but predominately I am in my Office itself 8.30-4.30 Mon-Fri however I work outside these hours to suit. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to some pretty amazing places in the world and have been able to take my family too. Our Girls , whom are all grown up now and young adults, have seen the world from their early ages so travelling as a family, is something I completely understand and can relate too. As the girls are grown up, My husband and I are now starting to holiday as a couple again and for one it is a lot Cheaper! The one thing I enjoy the most about having a Travel Business, is I get to see many years of a client and watch them grow. I have the Privilege to deal with couples. Solo travellers, and families throughout many years of their lives and go through the changes that life brings, such as an Honeymoon, maybe a wedding abroad, the 1st time travelling with a child/children on a family holiday, or going solo for the 1st time and also later in life taking their grandchildren away and dealing with the whole family through generations. This is what I love- building the relationships and adapting to the needs and desires of the clients at that time in their lives. I must tell you, where I've travelled (but I cant tell your a favourite as there are so many destinations that have captured my heart over the years) However Cyprus is where we got married and that will remain a special place, Morocco is the new favourite, however Croatia is also a favourite too! I love a city breaks and loved Dublin, Krakow, Barcelona and my favourite is Amsterdam!When it comes to further a field, Turks and Caicos' has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, St Lucia, is the most stunning Island and Thailand was full of the most beautiful Culture and the Elephants were just one of those experiences I will never forget and not forgetting the glorious adventures we had in Canada too! A little about what I do in my personal life- I love watching Women's and Men's Rugby, I am a Bath supporter! I love watching F1 and have been to a few races in my time. I love cooking and a bit of gardening, Most of all, I love food and travelling and for me the two go hand in hand! If you would like to experience any of these wonderful places or experiences in the world and beyond.. do get in touch as I would love to help.

Hello and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage, I love to travel and by visiting this webpage hopefully you do too! I am a highly experienced travel agent based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with global destinations at my fingertips.I trust you will find the below introduction helpful and that I can inspire you to pick up the phone or drop me a line for a chat about where in the world next awaits you.My passion for travel really took off when I booked a round the world flight ticket in 1997. I largely lived, worked and travelled in Australia, also taking in Fiji and Hawaii on the way home. I have always loved adventure and this opened a whole new world of excitement, experiences and many life-long friends.Ever since, I have been fortunate to travel to many worldwide destinations and experience some magical places. From mountaineering and jungle trekking in Borneo, cruising the Egyptian Nile and riding donkeys to the Valley of the Kings, snowboarding and husky sledding in Canada, scuba diving with sharks in Fiji, hang gliding in Brazil, safaris in Kenya, honeymooning in Zanzibar, crayfish parties in Sweden, to road trips across the USA taking in some of the most breath-taking scenery imaginable.One of my favourite memories is proposing to my wife whilst scuba diving in Tobago, using an underwater slate and a makeshift ring. Thankfully she ticked the ‘Yes’ box and we returned to the surface to cheers from our fellow dive buddies. As of 2018 there are 195 countries in the world and I find it amazing that whilst I feel well travelled, I know I have only really scratched the surface (and occasionally gone underneath when diving!) To fuel my passion for travel, I worked for seven years for two bespoke travel companies, immersing myself further into new destinations, sharing my knowledge and experience and what it can do for the human spirit. I am highly experienced helping business and leisure travellers, designing bespoke trips whilst offering an exceptional level of care and service, whatever your travel requirements and aspirations, big or small. I am available 24/7, before, during and after your trip, to help and assist with recommendations and solving those unforeseen hiccups.In a world of computers, robots and technology, there is still nothing like a personal touch. Let me help take you on your next journey and make it an even more memorable experience.

Hello, I’m Liz, I live in the market town of Stourbridge in the Black Country with my little daughter Molly. My passion for travel began in my teens and after a few years of working in France I set off on my first adventure with a one-way ticket to Australia. I spent 18 months working and travelling in both Australia and New Zealand, this trip only increased my appetite for exploring the world and all the amazing experiences that come with it. On my return, I knew the only profession for me had to be in travel. I’ve spent over 15 years working as a senior travel consultant for an award-winning travel agency, specialising in organising tailor-made itineraries to all parts of the world. During this time I have been extremely lucky to travel to some incredible destinations and experience many of the wonders the world has to offer. Some of my favourite experiences to date include trekking in Rwanda to see the mountain gorillas, watching the sunset over the temples and pagodas of Bagan in Myanmar, dining on the Eastern and Oriental Express from Singapore to Bangkok, wine tasting in South Africa and relaxing in my private pool villa in the Maldives.My time in the travel industry has provided me with a detailed knowledge of countries, airlines, hotels and much more; combining this with my travel experience puts me in a perfect position to offer you advice and recommendations for whatever your travel requirements may be. I pride myself on delivering the highest level of customer service, working closely with you to ensure every detail is correct and your trip is hassle-free.

I 'backpacked' whenever and wherever the mood took me and built my industry knowledge working extensively within the world of travel agencies, airlines and tour operations over many years. Experiencing life living in places such as Australia, Greece, Cyprus and 9 years in Spain only served to enhance this knowledge.Fast forward to present day and, as an independent Travel Counsellor, I now have the opportunity to give something back to my customers. Relying on decades of experience to help them choose, plan and execute their travel dreams is the greatest of pleasures. I care about what and where they book with me and I just love listening to their stories when they return home. Your holiday is my holiday too. My service is bespoke. It is tailored to those looking for a service that gives them an experience from the very first conversation and removes the 'transactional' nature of booking a trip. I have access to fares and pricing that are not always available to traditional agents and you're not restricted by 'pre-packaged' deals, which don't always fully cater for what you really want. Knowing that someone cares about your plans and is there for you throughout the whole process, brings you a service that is second to none.Finally, a Travel Counsellor booking is 100% financially protected. No ifs, no buts! Just peace of mind from the very beginning.Take a look at some of the great itineraries below for inspiration and/or send me a message about where your travel dreams are leading you next. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about how I can help you turn them into a reality alongside industry leading service.

Hello, I'm Samm a Travel Counsellor based in Essex.I am passionate about travelling and visiting new places. I care about my clients, taking the time to listen to their wishes to plan the best experience and build a long term professional relationship with them. I put together bespoke holiday quotes searching a vast choice of travel operators and suppliers. Your holiday is 100% financially protected and covered by ATOL. I take care of everything from initial enquiry, right up until the moment you return home. I'm always available to talk. I can help you with anything from skiing, cruise, family, Disney, UK breaks, short and long haul.I've always loved travelling; from a young age my parents stopped telling me when we were going away as I would get too excited so they'd just wake me on the morning of the holiday to tell me we were going away. I've travelled alone from a young age, visiting a pen pal in France at age 14 and work experience in Germany at 17 years old. I then went away to University in Devon and also a semester in the USA. After University I went to the Philippines to work and travel. I've had some amazing experiences in Asia, USA, Africa, South America, Australia and Europe. I love to experience different cultures and meet the local people.I'm happiest when I am planning my next adventure or writing a list of what I need to do for my next trip. I love being outdoors and keeping fit. My husband and I have a campervan and I love our short trips exploring the beautiful countryside. I enjoy writing, especially travel blogs. The only thing I don't love about travel is leaving my lovely cats behind!Please do get in touch if you are thinking about your next holiday or adventure. I can't wait to hear from you!

These journeys have given me an understanding of what matters most at different stages in life, and what transforms a holiday into something truly memorable.

Taking the time to find the right holiday for them, providing full financial protection, independent advice, around the clock support and having an accessible, single point of contact throughout. Also having all those tasks from online flight check-ins to hotel special requests taken care of for them.I was hooked on travel at an early age following my first overseas holiday to Majorca. I went on to achieve a university degree in Tourism Management followed by many years of experience working at various travel companies in sales and marketing roles. I have also been running my own travel business since 2016 so have plenty of knowledge to share.The core of my business is organising bespoke, multicentre tailor-made travel experiences across the world. I create itineraries to meet customers unique requirements and dreams and can include everything from flights, accommodation, transfers from airport to hotel or hotel to hotel, cruises, car-hire and all those memorable experiences to enjoy. As I work with a number of Destination Management Companies who are based in resort, they can share plenty of local knowledge and expertise when I’m organising my client’s trips.I have enjoyed many travel experiences myself, ranging from an around the world trip exploring Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Hawaii and the US mainland to travelling across the length and breadth of mainland Spain and Portugal by rail. I have also visited destinations including the Balearic and Canary Islands, Morocco, Sardinia, Sicily, the Italian Mainland, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Malta, Turkey, Germany, Belgium and have also travelled onboard cruises.My business is backed by the fantastic Travel Counsellors head office support team who provide a 24 hour duty office, the latest technology to search thousands of travel suppliers and also the handy MyTC app. Plus access to accommodation reviews and recommendations from my network of other Travel Counsellors.I'm available for an informal, no pressure chat about your travel plans and once you've booked I will be available to help and give you advice until you travel, so the only thing you need to worry about is what to pack!Thank you for visiting my webpage and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
