    Organising travel, whether for your colleagues for business, or yourself for leisure, can be confusing, stressful, time-consuming, and at times, just plain exasperating. But it needn't be.I provide bespoke, tailor-made travel experiences, that save the busy professional, time - and ultimately money. Whether for business or leisure.I do this through efficient planning and by streamlining all the components that make up your travel, taking care of all the details from flights, hotels, activities, transfers, airport parking, pre-departure airport hotel stays, and airport lounges.I do this so that you don't have to spend hours researching, planning and booking - with all the potential mistakes that can be made by someone who does not have my experience.I provide you with a single point of contact for all your travel needs. And if something does go wrong, I am backed up by a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week, duty office with an emergency number to call - to speak to a real person.Moreover, I can build flexibility into your travel itinerary, should your plans change or due to unexpected events.By trusting me with your travel plans, I take away the hassle and stress of organising your travel, leaving you to focus on what you do best.

    It’s Nice To Meet You My name is Berni and I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Abbots Langley, HertfordshireI am lucky to have worked in the travel industry for 30 years now. It has been full of incredible experiences and I have met wonderful people on my journey.Travel helps us press that reset button, stepping back and switching off. However you like to travel, by Rail, Sail, Drive or Fly. Maybe you are looking for a city break, beach holiday, a small adventure tour or on an ocean or river cruise. I can help you get there. I love city breaks. Immersing myself into the why what and when of the city. A taster of its culture without needing 2 weeks of baggage – depending how you pack of course. Cities, like any other break, can be as gentle or as busy as you want them to be. They have a unique rhythm and can be a gateway to journey further. Maybe you could consider extending your stay and exploring beyond, the villages, the mountains, the coast. You choose and I can tailor make it for you. I love the Caribbean, so far I have travelled to Barbados, St Lucia and Antigua – I too have a wish list. I’ve also travelled to Australia, Canada, USA, Turkey, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, Spain, Malta and Gozo, France, Italy, to name a few. Planning in advance offers choices but not everyone is able to do that. As your Travel Counsellor I am able to find what is available at short notice too – Passports, Visas and Vaccinations permitting. I will take the time needed and do all the planning with you, all I need is your wish list to work with.I look forward to hearing from youTravel Counsellors is an award winning Independent Travel Company which is 100% financially protected by The Travel Counsellors Financial Trust

    Hi I'm Lisa, a Travel Counsellor based in Kings Heath, Birmingham. I have over 20 years of travel experience, arranging tailormade itineraries all over the world - travel is my passion! As a home based Travel Counsellor I am able to dedicate my time to my client’s needs, meaning I am able to offer an unparalleled level of service at a time that’s convenient for you. Over the years I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, destinations and routes. As an independent agent, all the advice I offer is completely impartial and I have access to great offers across the industry, from leading airlines to hotels, cruise lines, car hire and many specialist tour operators. I'll take the time to find out exactly what you are looking for and then suggest the best places to go and how best to get there. I can recommend where to stay and even what excursions to do. Then I'll put it all together so you have full financial protection for every aspect of your holiday, plus someone you can easily get in touch with any time you need to.I set off on my first big adventure in my early twenties, taking a year out to travel around the world via North America, Australasia and Asia, including living and working in Australia for eight months. Since then I’ve been fortunate enough to have visited many more incredible places and had some amazing experiences. It’s impossible to pick a favourite, but some highlights would include: trekking to see gorillas in Rwanda, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum, learning to salsa in Cuba, island hopping in Croatia, a coastal road trip down Highway 1 in the USA, wine tasting in South Africa, getting wet at Iguassu Falls and swimming in my private pool in the Seychelles. The last few years I have had 2 small children in tow, but they have been to Thailand, Holland, Portugal, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Slovenia and Iceland already, so I fully intend to pass the travel bug along!A client recently told me that booking her holiday with me was "like planning a trip with a friend who happens to be a travel expert"; that's how I want all of my customers to feel.Wishing you happy travels!

    I am based in Crawley, near Gatwick airport. It is a fantastic location for me, being able to travel into London City, to Brighton for a day by the sea or even hop on a plane to check out a new destination. I live with my partner who works in the hospitality trade and our three young children, twin boys and a girl, who all keep me on my toes.My background started in the hotel sector before getting the travel bug. It all began when working as an international conference and incentive organiser. Arranging large groups of key workers for a trip of a lifetime. It was here I was able to experience cities and various destinations to their full potential.On to the next great adventure - flying, I decided to travel in a different way, as cabin crew. Time to see destinations I would not think to see and expand my knowledge in the aviation world. Whilst I loved this fast-paced lifestyle, I missed the structure and the chance to organise the trips of a lifetime for top achievers. I returned to event management here I was fortunate to travel to Asia and also experience the humongous A380 aircraft when it was first launched.After starting a family and not being able to travel with work as much I changed my job to become a travel expert for a luxury travel company where I was able to experience more European destinations and get a greater understanding of the leisure market.I have so many favourite destinations and all for different reasons but if I had to pick, it would be Singapore for its diverse culture and variety of activities there are two sides to this city and that is something you will have to experience by booking with me!Becoming a Travel counsellor enables me to be accessible to customers on a 24/7 basis, I can discuss your requirements at a time that is convenient for you.

  • Brian Costello

    02071250008 London

    Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

I still have a bucket list of countries to visit. As a highly organised person, with excellent attention to detail after having spent the early part of my career as an Accountant, you can be sure I will take care of every little detail to ensure you have that perfect holiday. As a Travel Counsellor I can create a bespoke, tailor-made holiday that matches your own individual needs, offering you a truly personal, yet professional service.

    Vicky Babbs

    020 3603 7390 Woodford Wells

    I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 17 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel I have predominately worked in senior management. I have loved the opportunites my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia where I was fortunate enough to visit many times each year including hosting numerous journalists taking them to far flung areas of these beautiful destinations. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of Austravel covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed longhaul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Longhaul, Shorthaul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time, at the Hobo Private Members Club Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

I live in Greater Manchester, am married to a wonderful husband and, fun fact, I do double duty: I’m still teaching and running my Dance Studio while also channeling my lifelong passion for travel by helping others plan theirs.My journey into travel truly took flight with Emirates as Cabin Crew, where I was whisked away to countless cities and countries. Each new airport code, every culture I experienced firsthand, and the joy of serving others inspired me; sparking both wanderlust and a commitment to extraordinary customer care.Dance has been another constant in my life. For nearly twenty years, I’ve taught and managed my own Dance School and Studio. That experience has taught me to nurture creativity, precision, and joy, and those same qualities now shape the itineraries I craft. Over time, friends and clients started coming to me for travel advice, unsolicited. They trusted me to help them choose where to go, where to stay, and how to make their travel dreams feel personal and seamless. After years of doing it for those I care about, I finally decided to follow that nudge and become a Travel Counsellor - and to continue teaching dance, too!I absolutely love creating journeys that resonate deeply. Maybe you dream of the roar of lions and wide-open skies on safari in Kruger National Park, or maybe you're craving ultimate serenity in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, where every sunrise paints the ocean. Or, perhaps, you want to wander through smaller Spanish towns, hopping from tapas bar to boutique shop, soaking up local charm. I specialise in safari adventures, luxury escapes, and family-friendly trips that feel effortless yet extraordinary.What sets my approach apart is the blend of educator and aviator: precision meets warmth. I plan with creativity and care, founded in my teaching roots, refined by years of in-flight hospitality and customer service, and rooted in authenticity. Planning should never feel overwhelming: instead, it should be about excitement, discovery, and those “yes, this is exactly what I wanted” moments. And since I still teach and run my Studio and am an independent Travel Counsellor, I deeply understand time, balance, and creating something meaningful, whether in movement or in travel: offering flexible availability to suit your schedule whilst proudly being ATOL-protected; enabling you to travel with complete peace of mind knowing that your holiday is financially secured. So simply send me an email, DM on Instagram, or give me a call: whether you're planning a family reunion, a luxury getaway, or a wildlife adventure, I'm here every step of the way, from initial chat to landing back home with lifelong memories, I can't wait to help!

    Hello, 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.

    Hi and thanks for visiting my webpage. My name is Sean and I live in the wonderful city of Liverpool with my partner Louise and our 3 children.

That journey has now taken me to setup my own independent travel business supported by Travel Counsellors. I still get the same buzz today as I did back all them years ago when I started out in travel at hearing how much a client has enjoyed their trip and the life memories they have made. For all my clients, I’m available day and night, offering a true one-to-one personalised travel service. In addition to this, everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind.

Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy.

    020 3808 8584 Croydon

    Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish.

  • Emma Fillingham

    01952 898430 Telford

    HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

    Hello I’m Rebecca, Thank you for visiting my website. I was born and raised in Oxfordshire and live with my husband and two children in Didcot. Having worked in Travel for over twenty years I have gained great experience and knowledge from the industry. I started my career as a modern apprentice, learning all about retail travel, from there I moved on to work in business travel and now I am a Travel Counsellor. I personally feel that holidays should be wonderful experiences, whether a City Break or a World Cruise, alone, or spent with loved ones, meeting new friends, exploring, relaxing and storing treasured memories of happy times. I have personally travelled from Barbados to the Balearics, initially child free, but now with my husband and two children on many family trips to the Mediterranean. Because of this personal experience and with my knowledge of the Travel industry I know what I want from my holiday and plan it accordingly. If you are anything like me you spend the time between holidays planning your next adventure whilst revelling in the memories of your previous trip. I would therefore invite you to let me create your perfect memories..... Working for Travel Counsellors gives me the flexibility to research, plan and book your holiday.

    01926291340 Southam, Warwickshire

    Hello, I'm Katie, and I've recently taken an exciting new step to turn my passion for travel into a career as a Travel Counsellor. I grew up in the beautiful green countryside of Ireland, surrounded by perfect beaches and so much natural beauty, the kind of place that inspires love for adventure and the outdoors. Over the years, I've been lucky enough to explore parts of Europe, including France, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark and the Netherlands, and once made it across the Atlantic to New York! Each destination has given me unforgettable memories and a deeper passion for travel. Before starting this journey, I worked in retail, and later qualified as a veterinary nurse and spent many years caring for animals. Caring for people and animals has always come naturally to me, and I love bringing that same care and attention to detail into planning holidays. I'm also a proud mum of two little boys, who remind me every day how precious shared experiences and memories are. I believe travel is one of the best ways to learn about ourselves, it opens our minds, enriches our lives and helps us see the world, and ourselves, in a new light. I'm especially excited to help my clients make memories that will last a life-time, whether it's a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a once in a lifetime trip, I take pride in creating something truly special for every client. Let's make your next holiday one to remember!

My career includes working with renowned brands like Edwardian, Westin, and Marriott, representing other iconic properties like the Waldorf Towers and Plaza Hotel in New York, and playing a key role in opening the Jordan Tourist Board office in London.Seeking a better work/life balance and a more personal connection with my clients, I transitioned into becoming a travel advisor. Running my homeworking business is now my true passion, allowing me to combine my extensive industry expertise with a hands-on approach to crafting exceptional travel experiences.I’m married to Rob, a recently retired senior Virgin Atlantic pilot, and together we have a 26-year-old son and a golden working cocker spaniel named Bunker. Rob’s career has taken us around the world, visiting almost every continent and many of the destinations Virgin Atlantic flies to. Having travelled so extensively, it’s difficult to pick favourites, but each destination has deepened my travel knowledge, helping me craft unforgettable experiences for my clients.What sets me apart is my commitment to personalised service. It’s not just about booking flights and hotels; I specialise in creating bespoke itineraries tailored to your unique needs. I don’t just know the best hotels; I have personal relationships with General Managers, ensuring you get access, upgrades, and experiences that others can’t. Think of me as your personal travel concierge, customizing every detail of your journey.In addition to my personalised service, I offer peace of mind through the Travel Counsellors Trust Fund. If a preferred supplier fails or something goes wrong, you’re fully protected and your money will be refunded—no questions asked.My service doesn’t end once your trip is booked. I’m available 24/7 before, during, and after your trip to ensure everything runs smoothly. While booking flights or hotels online can seem easy, when problems arise—such as a flight cancellation or overbooked hotel—I’ll already be working on a solution, ensuring you can continue your journey without stress.If you’re looking for a travel advisor who provides expert knowledge, exceptional service, and personalised care, I’d love to help create your next unforgettable travel experience.

    🎒 38 Years in Travel — And Still Packing! 🌍Hi there! I’m Alison, and I’ve been in the travel industry for a whopping 38 years (yep, that’s a lot of suitcases I have helped to pack!). For the last 20 of those, I’ve been proud to call Travel Counsellors my home. Before that, I cut my teeth working for both big-name high street agencies and some lovely little independents too — soaking up all the worldly knowledge I could like a travel-hungry sponge.Let’s face it — the travel world has changed a lot. The old-school package holiday has really grown. Today’s travellers (that’s you!) want something more: real experiences, expert advice, and peace of mind that your money is as safe as your passport in a hotel safe.🧳 Tailor-Made Magic, Not Just Tick-Box ToursI’ve got direct links to on-the-ground partners around the globe — meaning I can stitch together unique, personalised trips with insider know-how. I talk to real people in your chosen destination to make sure your holiday isn’t just another copy-paste job. You get local charm, curated details, and absolutely no compromise.Every trip I plan is researched like I’m going myself — reviews are checked, deals are compared, and recommendations are personalised. Whether you need a Travel Agent or a Tour Operator (or a delightful mix of both), I’ve got the flexibility to build what’s right for you.🌟 My Promise: Honest Advice & Proper ServiceI’m passionate (annoyingly so) about travel. I genuinely care about getting things just right for you. From the first "Where should I go?" to the "We're back and it was AMAZING!" — I’m with you every step of the way. I don't do cookie-cutter holidays. I do YOUR holiday.🧭 What Can I Help You With? Glad You Asked!Corporate Travel (business doesn’t have to be boring)Group Trips (bring the squad!)City Breaks (quick escapes, big memories)Cruises (floating hotels with endless buffets)Luxury Holidays (yes, champagne is a travel essential)Family Adventures (fun for all ages)Round-the-World Itineraries (because why not?)💰 Worried About Your Money? Don’t Be.Thanks to the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust, every penny you spend with me is 100% protected. No ifs, no buts, no sleepless nights.

If I don’t know something, one of them absolutely does. 🌴 Where Have I Been Lately?Oh, just a few places… Antigua, Spain, Dubai, Mauritius, Turkey, Egypt, Cornwall, Las Vegas, Greece (including the glorious Peloponnese), Sri Lanka, and more. I’ve skied in France, explored the UK from coast to coast, and I’ve got plenty of stamps in my passport (and stories to go with them!).💻 Flexibility is My SuperpowerBecause I work from home, I’m not chained to 9-to-5 hours. Need help in the evening? Weekend? I’ve got you. I can send you detailed quotes and travel ideas straight to your inbox — whether you’re in your office or on the sofa in your PJs.✈️ Ready to plan something amazing?

    01273 317 319 Hove

    Hi, I’m Martin. I live in Hove on the south coast with my young family.My passion for travel began in the mid ‘90s with a round-the-world trip and working holiday in Australia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively worldwide, visiting over 50 countries along the way. My travels have taken me to places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, the USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Kenya and a number of European countries too. More recently, I’ve been discovering destinations a little closer to home, such as the Canary Islands, that work very well for family holidays.Over the years, I’ve had some wonderful experiences that include watching cheetahs as the sun sets over the Masai Mara, sky-diving at the Whitsundays in Australia, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and travelling on the tea country train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka.Through work trips, I have first-hand experience of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels (and some more run-of-the-mill ones too!) and can pass on some great tips to ensure you get the most from your hotel choices. I have extensive flight cabin knowledge. Business or Premium Economy Class isn’t always as expensive as you may think and makes long haul travel far more enjoyable.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career evolved from working in London for a ‘flights specialist’ and managing a team of 20+, to helping build a small travel ‘start-up’ into a successful travel business and more recently working for an award-winning luxury tailor-made tour operator creating privately guided tours throughout Asia. All these roles have required exceptional service levels and a very keen eye for detail. With over 20 years’ experience as a dedicated travel professional, I can offer impartial, tailored advice for your trip and great prices too! Your leisure time is very precious and I realise just how important holidays are. I take pride in providing inspirational ideas for your trip, something which will save you hours of online research. Planning a bespoke holiday itinerary can be a daunting and sometimes time-consuming experience. Leave the detail to me and I’ll ensure a stress-free, smooth running trip, and you’ll return home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.For a no obligation quote (or just an initial chat about your holiday plans), please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’ll be very happy to help…

    With over 21 years experience of working front line sales for a leading travel company, I've decided to take my career to the next level. Working with global award winning Travel Counsellors has given me the opportunity to have my own franchise, setting my own high standards of both service and product, using my vast experience to deliver a high standard of industry expertise.For you, this will begin at enquiry stage, leading you through some of the options available, you can then settle on which of the tailor-made travel itineraries best suit you. I'll provide personal recommendations where required, all to deliver a service that exceeds your expectations, and travel experience that will leave you with un-forgettable memories.During my 19 years I've acquired some stand out travel experiences, most recently, taking in the stunning natural beauty of the Maldives with my wife, where I was able to fulfil a life long ambition of swimming with manta-ray. Spotting the Big five at South Africa's Shamwari Game reserve along with skydiving over Table Mountain in Cape town, marvelling at the patient craftmanship of the Taj Mahal followed by exploring the backwater's of Southern India to name a few highlights of my travels. Not wanting to keep the world to myself, I've also taken my wife and four children, aged between 8 and 18 to Barbados, Dubai, Thailand and across much of Europe, so I can certainly pre-empt the considerations you'd need to make when travelling with a family. A particularly memorable occasion has to be my shopping and show trip to New York with my two teenage girls, never a dull moment! To list all the places, and diverse cultural experiences I've had will take up half this page, but from the shows and nightlife of Vegas and New York to the Thai markets and Indian temples, I can bring much experience to your tentative enquiry. Over the last 5 years, I've also focused on corporate travel. The challenge of catering for the fast paced high demand is where I come into my own. Finding route and ticket solutions that you'd maybe not see possible with your own planning, I take the strain out of booking business travel, a little more of this is highlighted on my Business travel page via the link.

Originally from London, I now live in Hertfordshire with my husband, teenage son, and energetic Labrador, Basil!I have been fortunate to have visited many amazing and varied destinations so I like to use my experience and contacts to help guide my clients. Whether you are seeking adventure, discovery, rejuvenation or simply somewhere special to relax with your family, I would love to help you create your own wonderful memories.Over my long and varied travel career I have seen many changes in the way that holidays are presented and bought. The internet may have enabled people to create their own trips, but the process is fraught at the best of times, and ultimately you travel without support. We have all had the irritation of unmanned email addresses and no contact numbers when seeking assistance from a human being. What might appear a modern convenience can all too easily become a frustrating experience and a false economy.We offer a personal service and take the time to find out what makes the perfect holiday for you and your family. I appreciate that all stages of the booking cycles are equally important, this means I’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure everything runs smoothly. Our 100% financial cover will give you complete peace of mind together with our round the clock 24/7 support team. Our incredible travel app will also keep you fully updated at all times both before and during your trip and together with my own support ensures you have a true travel concierge service from start to finish leaving you free to enjoy your holiday.I have access to an incredible range of quality suppliers worldwide, covering holidays as varied as safaris to ocean cruises, yoga retreats to adventurous hikes in the Himalayas, to say nothing of exclusive beach locations, our preferential rates allow me to tailor-make your perfect holiday providing superb value for money.It is clear that our planet is changing so now might be the time to make that bucket list trip happen. Each opportunity to travel is precious and I want to ensure you get the most out of every holiday.You will find me informed but informal and available at the times that suit you. Don’t forget: 'Travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer'

    Planning a holiday can feel overwhelming - from countless tabs and endless research to juggling family needs and finding the right experiences for everyone. That’s where I come in.I’m Rebecca - self-confessed travel addict and your personal guide to unforgettable holidays. Based in North London, I specialise in crafting tailor-made trips for families, professionals, and adventure seekers throughout the UK. I design holidays that are stress-free, seamless, and full of memories, ensuring every moment of your journey is perfectly planned for you. When you work with me, you’ll never have to worry about the details. I handle everything from researching destinations and finding the best flights, to booking accommodation, planning activities, and providing 24/7 support while you’re away.Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours poring over holiday brochures, dreaming of faraway places and adventures. That curiosity never faded. Over the past two decades, I’ve explored 49 countries (and counting!), from bustling street food markets in Thailand and Vietnam, to tranquil beaches in Bali and Malaysia; from the cultural richness of India and Sri Lanka, to safaris across Southern Africa and the snow-dusted magic of Lapland. I’ve wandered through ancient cities in China, hiked dramatic landscapes in New Zealand, and gathered all the top tips you’ll need for Disney in Orlando and Paris. Each journey has deepened my understanding of what makes a holiday truly special, and what can make it stressful if not planned right.Whether it’s a luxury family escape, a small group adventure, a multi-generational trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime safari, I design holidays around your needs. I know first hand the joys and challenges of travelling with children. As a mum, I understand how family needs evolve - what works for toddlers won’t always suit teens, and different generations often have different ideas of fun. From flights that maximise sleep, to accommodation that keeps everyone comfortable, to activities that engage all ages, I make sure your trip works for every member of the family. My goal is simple: to create holidays that are as relaxing and joyful for parents as they are inspiring and exciting for children.My expertise doesn’t stop at family travel. For adventure travellers, I work closely with leading small group operators such as Intrepid Travel, G Adventures, and Exodus, with no extra cost to you when booking through me. If you prefer to set your own pace, I can tailor every detail to suit your interests and sense of adventure, from exploring hidden corners of Southeast Asia, to tracking wildlife on safari, or venturing off the beaten track in Australia or New Zealand.With 19+ years in the travel industry and nearly a decade as a Travel Counsellors, I am proud to be one of our Top 100 Gold Advisors. I combine personal insight with professional connections, giving my clients access to trusted partners, insider tips, and experiences you won’t find online. I guide you from the first spark of inspiration, right through booking, pre-travel prep, and 24/7 support while you’re away.I love what I do because it’s never just “a holiday.” It’s the laughter of a family reunited on a beach, the awe of a first safari sighting, the quiet joy of seeing your children experience a culture or adventure you’ve dreamed of for them. These moments are why I travel myself, why I keep learning, and why I’m passionate about sharing the world with my clients.So, if planning your next holiday feels overwhelming, let’s talk. I’ll listen, I’ll guide, and I’ll take care of the details so all you need to do is enjoy the journey. Call me on 0203 432 4720 or email rebecca.berzins@mytc.com and let’s start creating your next unforgettable adventure.

    I've been creating memories for people for over 45 years. It was In 1978 I started my career in travel; and after a lifetime working in resort, hotel and travel operations management, today I am still here helping people who want to see the world do it with confidence, in safety and with financial protection.In the pandemic years, I looked after my clients with a "whatever it takes" attitude; reorganised travel, and made refunds promptly. In 2021 we moved forward, finally getting people to where they want to go and 2023 has seen my best year ever as a Travel Counsellor and I can only thank the hundreds of you who have placed your trust in me to manage your travel. I'm often asked what sort of travel I do - there is no definitive answer.From city breaks to ocean and river cruises, campervans, river boats, and yachts along with complex flight itineraries, group breaks and conferences. I've organised multi-centre itineraries to Italy, Croatia, Norway, Japan, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, USA & Canada fly-drives, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia wildlife holidays including the odd orangutan and a Komodo dragon or two. I've planned complex rail and road itineraries across Spain, Croatia, Montenegro and France, and plenty of Greek Island hopping. I’m a globetrotter and have visited 72 countries. crossed the Pacific exploring Hawaii down to Tonga, Samoa to French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, sailed around South America, enjoyed the Indian Ocean, and made several Atlantic crossings, arriving into wonderful New York, and "inching" under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as the sun comes up, glistening against the windows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan.And having worked in many ski resorts over the years in Austria and Italy, and also skied extensively in Switzerland and France, I'm also a bit of a whizz on ski holidays. I have my own FB page for ski enthusiasts - just type in "Ski the World with Vanessa" to find me. It's a haven for ski deals, ski chat and equipment advice and if you are beginner there is no better place to start !In 2019 I earned the Master Tourism qualification from the Japanese National Tourist Office - I've already helped many clients to explore this mysterious and exciting nation, by rail road, foot, bike and boat . with more unique handcrafted adventures planned in 2025 and a ski holiday planned for 2026.On the subject of snow, I'm also very excited to be planning yet another Antarctic experience for my clients with hiking in Patagonia for 2026, and more Australia and New Zealand itineraries and adventures in Fiji and French Polynesian !And, my specialist destination? Ohh its complicated because I know so many! I've been to Italy 28 times, worked there for many summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country exceptionally well; and over the last four years, have been refreshing my Italian language skills with some success. I look to find unique, and different experiences for my clients and I know that many of you reading this, will have come to me because you are tired of spending endless hours at your computer or squinting at your phone, worried about getting things wrong, unsure with what you are committing yourself to. More than ever, I know you are looking for that personal touch to travel, and not a faceless website devoid of human contact. My business is built on referrals and repeat business, and as a testament has quadrupled in size since 2019.Why not read my client testimonials below and then call me to start your next adventure ?I am more than happy to be available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends as my hours are flexible.Lets travel in 2025, do something amazing and make it a year to remember...
