My role is to design those moments for you.I am a born-and-bred New Yorker who moved to the UK to marry an Englishman, so I understand what it means to bridge cultures, travel frequently across the Atlantic, and make every trip really count.

    07732400817 Cheshire

    I chose an exciting and interesting career 40 years ago. Originally I managed a couple of high street agencies before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 1996. Being a Travel Counsellor has enabled me to visit some fantastic places. It's amazing to be able to pass on this knowledge when helping others to book their ideal holiday. Be it for business or leisure I can suggest destinations and hotels to suit your budget. Working directly with hoteliers and tour companies around the world I can create bespoke itineraries suited to your needs. I love arranging something a little different 'off the peg' itineraries. I've had a flurry of bespoke safari holidays recently, all of which I am told were amazing! I've also had the pleasure of helping a few 'solo' travellers which is great. There are lots of people in the same situation. Why stay at home, just go and make new friends on holiday.I have travelled extensively around the Med, USA and Canada, to name a few. It was in Lake Tahoe that I first learned to ski, and have since been to Italy, Austria and more recently Canada, so if you like something a little more exhilarating I can offer first hand advice. These days my holidays are often spent in Kalkan. I love the laid back pace of life and the local people are wonderful.I've had the privilege over the last few years of arranging a number of weddings and honeymoons which have been a great success! A wonderful start to married life!I had lots of holidays before I had my children but I am blessed to have had some fantastic holidays with them too, they're just a lot different. Pleasing them makes the difference between a wonderful holiday and one you would rather forget! Time spent with our families and loved ones is precious. We work hard all year round and deserve the best holiday possible to look forward to.Being a Travel Counsellor for almost 30 years has given me the best balance between home life and work. We all go to work to provide ourselves and our families with a good standard of living, but I am fortunate to enjoy my job so much that I never get the Monday morning blues! I am always keen to talk about travel to anyone that will listen! I pride myself that my clients come back to me year after year and I love to hear from them when they return from their holidays to let me know what a wonderful time they've had. I am available throughout the day, most evenings and weekends, so whenever you are free to arrange your holiday, simply give me a call or send me an email so you can find out for yourself why I have such loyal clients who simply wouldn't make their travel arrangements with anyone else.I look forward to being of service to you and your family!

I combined backpacking with five-star hotels, trekked to Machu Picchu and boated down the Amazon - incredible experiences that will stay with me forever.

    Travel is in my blood; having grown up with my Mum working from her home office as an independent travel agent, booking holidays all over the world for clients and our family, a passion for travel has been passed down to me and has only grown over time.As such as big part of my own life I wanted to help others to experience the world and all the amazing places, people and experiences it has to offer, and that is when I decided like mother like daughter to turn my hand to planning bespoke holidays for other people.I love nothing more than talking travel, taking the time to listen and understand what someone is looking for from their trip, then sharing my own personal experience and professional advice to put your dream trips together! I have personally travelled to 52 countries now across Africa, Asia, Australasia, Europe and the Americas (Antarctica is on my bucket list!) and love exploring new destinations as well as visiting firm favourites time and time again (Mauritius, South Africa and Greece all being up there). I have travelled in all manner of styles from luxury all-inclusive hotels to backpacking across continents, I’m a qualified skipper and have sailed all over the world and love nothing more than road-tripping through a country to truly get a feel for the culture and destination. I’ve worked in travel for a few years now and have booked incredible trips for my clients including: - Month long self-drive tours of Australia and New Zealand (including helicoptering over glaciers and fishing in the fjords ) - African Safaris spotting the Big 5 - Honeymoons across the Indian Ocean, with added romantic touches - Stunning overwater villas in the Maldives spotting giant rays from their terrace - Family holidays to Mauritius and the Caribbean - Anniversary trips to picturesque Greek islands - Luxury island hopping in The Seychelles - Expedition cruises to the Arctic Circle to spot polar bears - Florida fun with Disney, the Everglades and white sandy beaches - European city breaks with fine-dining in castles - Solo travellers on organised tours to the spiritual sites of India - Historical and gastronomy bespoke tours of the Silk Road - Adventure filled trips to Latin America - Cultural exploration and surfing in Sri Lanka - … and much, much more!Whilst I love to be able to advise on places I have personally been I also have a network of fellow Travel Counsellors to go to for extra advice and work with brilliant worldwide suppliers in destination that help me to put together tailor-made itineraries with off the beaten track spots and unique local experiences. Your peace of mind is very important to me and I want to be your safe pair of hands when it comes to looking after your holidays.

In the past few years, I’ve visited places such as Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Orlando, Japan, Greece, Cuba, Norway, Disneyland Paris, Turkey, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Gibraltar, Denmark, New York, Guernsey, Italy, Germany, Russia, Ireland, Thailand, China, France, Canada and Spain including the Balearic and Canary Islands.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor (over 5 years ago now), I worked for some of the biggest names in leisure such as Virgin, Marriott, Captivating Cuba, Travelzest and Disney. I worked onboard the P&O Cruise ship Azura and the world-famous luxurious Queen Mary II Ocean Liner.

No itinerary is too big or too small nor are there such thing as silly questions, please don’t ever hesitate to ask. I often get asked where my favourite destinations are and for me a holiday must have some aspects of relaxation mixed with plenty to do, lots to see and new experiences to undertake. In Europe the destination for this would be, the Greek islands and Italy. In the USA, my number one state would be California. The Middle East, Oman, although if you are into history like me, Egypt is a must. In the Indian Ocean, by far the best is Mauritius. In the Far East I’d always pick Thailand, it’s so diverse. I also am a lover of cruises and have been fortunate to have been on quite a few. My best trip ever has to be Namibia. In 2005 I was fortunate to fly to Windhoek, Namibia when we then drove to Ongava on the edge of the Etosha National Park. This is one of the best places to see the ‘big five’ and it lived up to all expectations. We then travelled to Sossusvlei to see the sand dunes, another must see. Followed by, Swakopmund to see dolphins and the Skeleton Coast which is home to millions of seals. Adding in some history we visited Twyfelfontein to see the ancient rock engravings and drove through Damaraland to see the desert elephants. We stayed in the most beautiful individual luxury lodges for 3 nights, making the most of the early morning and evening game drives. We ended the trip with a visit to the world famous Africat Foundation in Okinjima to see the cheetahs which truly was the cherry on top of a fantastic trip.I regularly post offers and deals on my social media, so make sure you check out my page and give me a follow to make sure you don’t miss out.

    Anthony Marshall

    01382 916721 Dundee

    Hi there, I'm Anthony and I am based in the sunny city of Dundee in the east of Scotland. I have enjoyed travelling since the age of 7 when I first went to Switzerland with my family. I then was caught by the cruise bug a year later when I stepped on my first cruise ship and ever since I can't stop cruising. Cruising has been a huge passion of mine and have been lucky to have sailed on 54 cruises - so I like to think I have my sea legs. I have gained my Cruise Industry Management degree from Southampton Solent University in 2015 and have since worked in the cruise industry with Carnival UK, Celebrity Cruises and a range of other travel agencies too. I have travelled extensively and along with cruising my favourite destinations would have to be Japan, the US, Egypt and Europe. So much choice, culture and history and all fascinating and inspiring too. The say travel is one of the best ways to educate yourself - that is certainly something I very much agree with. Cruising is my passion and I believe that everyone should at least try cruising once - seeing new destinations each day, only have to unpack once and enjoy a wide range of facilities and activities in a safe environment whilst sailing the seven seas - that sounds idyllic. Recently joining Travel Counsellors allows me to give the personal touch when it comes to preparing your next holiday. I believe in excellent customer service and by adding that personal touch, it allows for a greater connection and trust. Booking with myself means your money is 100% financially protected - either through ATOL or by the Travel Counsellors Trust. So whether it's a short break away or a world cruise, why not drop me an email or give me a call and let me arrange your next holiday.

    Kate Rouse – Luxury Travel Specialist & Bespoke Itinerary ExpertI always knew I wanted to travel. Perhaps it was growing up in a small Warwickshire village that felt like the middle of nowhere, but the bright lights of the world called to me from an early age. At 17, I convinced my somewhat bemused parents that working for British Airways on a YTS scheme (showing my age here!) was the best decision I could make. And I was right.Sure, Birmingham Airport in the 80s was more “hut in a field” than glamorous international hub, but I didn’t care. I was in my uniform, working in travel, and I never looked back. That first step with BA led to hotels, then to overseas roles, and before I knew it, I was living and working in some of the world’s most fascinating places—Spain, Cyprus, Dubai, Cairo, Aruba, and most recently, Portugal, where I spent 15 years. While most people dream of retiring abroad, I did things in reverse—building a career across the globe before returning to the UK to be closer to family, friends, and to launch my Travel Counsellors franchise.Experience That TravelsDecades of international experience have given me an insider’s perspective on luxury travel—the highs, the hidden gems, the unexpected hurdles. I understand what truly happens when you step off a plane in a new country, and why careful planning and attention to detail can mean the difference between a trip and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My approach is simple: you relax, I do the worrying. It’s in my DNA. While I am naturally optimistic, I am also a worst-case-scenario planner, ensuring every trip has a Plan B, so you never have to think about it.That’s why Travel Counsellors was a perfect fit for me. Their ‘No ifs, no buts, 100% financial protection’ gives my clients complete peace of mind. Who wants to travel and worry? Not on my watch.Luxury, Bespoke & BeyondMy expertise lies in bespoke, high-end travel, with a particular love for crafting complex itineraries that become treasured memories. I specialise in multi-generational trips, ensuring that everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, has a seamless and unforgettable experience. Having run an exclusive events and catering company in Portugal, I know first-hand what it takes to deliver five-star service to discerning clients and how the smallest details elevate a holiday from great to exceptional.Cruising the WorldI love cruising. It’s one of the most extraordinary ways to travel, and I’ve had the privilege of experiencing cruises across the globe. Whether it’s the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or the Norwegian fjords, I know how to match you with the perfect ship and itinerary.Bucket List MustAnd then there’s Egypt—a destination that holds a special place in my heart. If you do just one thing in your lifetime, make it a Nile cruise. Egypt is a contradiction—busy, chaotic, and overwhelming, yet utterly spellbinding, steeped in mystery and history that takes your breath away. Imagine drifting along the Nile, watching temples glow at sunset, or floating in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings as the sun rises—it’s magic. And I know exactly how to make it your magic.Let’s Plan Your Next AdventureLuxury travel should be exciting, seamless, and stress-free—and that’s exactly what I deliver. Whether it’s a bespoke itinerary, an exclusive cruise, or a multi-generational escape, I take the time to craft trips that are uniquely yours. And with the backing of Travel Counsellors’ exceptional service and financial protection, you can book with total confidence.I look forward to plotting and planning your next adventure. Let’s make it extraordinary.

    With more than 20 years’ experience in making holidays and travel accessible and inclusive to all, it is with great excitement and anticipation that I join the Travel Counsellors global family of award-winning travel professionals. It’s going to be an amazing journey!In my previous role as General Manager of one of the UK's leading accessible tour operators, Accessible Travel, I was able to establish a unique insight and understanding of how to create holidays and travel that meet the requirements of customers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements. I have enjoyed seamlessly making holidays accessible and my comprehensive service includes, assistance through airports and on flights, adapted transfers, guaranteed accessible rooms, through to hiring of equipment, nursing care and accessible excursions. Having curated holidays, just not for a specialist market, along with drawing on my travel experience through more than 50 countries, I instinctively match holidays and listen to my customers’ tailoring holidays to individual needs and requirements. I love finding out where you’ve been and where you want to go, because sometimes travel is about heightening your imagination and finding those things you never knew you were looking for.But of course, the most important relationships over the years have been with my valued clients, many now friends. It is so rewarding that you are already allowing me the pleasure to plan and book your future holidays and travel. That means so much. But what is really exciting about being a Travel Counsellor is that I will now be able to offer an almost unlimited range of destinations and holiday opportunities to everyone, that simply cannot be matched by any other travel organisation. This will mean I can help realise your travel ambitions and dreams in a way that was simply not previously possible. Add to this round-the-clock support wherever you are in the world, 100% financial protection and of course a personal, caring service without compromise and it really is going to be a future without limits!Ali

    Hello and a very warm welcome — I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to stop by. If you’re here, you’re probably thinking about your next holiday… and that’s where I come in. I’m Charlotte Hall, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’d love to help you turn those ideas, dreams, and “one day we should…” plans into something real. Travel has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. I started by exploring the world from the skies as cabin crew, then swapped continents completely and spent more than ten brilliant years living in Australia. These days, you’ll find me in God’s own country — Yorkshire — where I’ve lived with my family for the past twenty‑three years while working in the hospitality industry. All of that has shaped how I see the world: with curiosity, openness, and a real appreciation for great service and genuine human connection. I’ve always loved discovering new places, meeting different people, and soaking up cultures that are nothing like my own. Lately, I’ve fallen a bit in love with cruising — it’s such a wonderful way to explore multiple destinations without packing and unpacking each time! But trust me, my own travel wish‑list is still a long one. When it comes to planning holidays for others, I genuinely enjoy the whole process. I believe that great travel planning isn’t transactional — it’s personal. It’s about listening properly, understanding what matters to you, and building a trip that fits you in every way. No two travellers are the same, and no holiday should be either. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I’m here to make things easier: • I’ll do the research so you don’t have to. • I’ll save you time and remove the stress. • I’ll offer honest, friendly advice you can rely on. • And every booking is 100% financially protected, so you can relax from the start. Whether your plans are simple or a little bit complicated, whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to begin — I’d love to hear from you. Give me a call, send an email, or just share a few thoughts, and I’ll get back to you straight away. Let’s make your next adventure something truly special.

At 21, I decided that the travel business was the one for me, and I have been lucky to be involved in it ever since. I developed a passion for both assisting my clients and when the chance arose, also my own personal travel. I still continue to be very passionate about travelling and seeing the world, and always enjoy visiting places new and old.I spent 15 years at my previous travel company, working hard to be successful, and over my career there I build up an excellent reputation as a very successful Travel Manager, initially focusing solely on leisure, but latterly also expanding to corporate. I am equally adept in both fields, and I get as much satisfaction finding a great holiday for clients, as I do taking a new client on and saving them £2k a month on their travel expenses. I have achieved success through recommendations, building relationships, expanding my customer base through networking and, when time permits, also handling new telephone enquires.In November 2018, I started a new path working from home as a Travel Counsellor.

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

    Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read thisBeing a Travel Counsellor has been my dream job for many years and I’ve had the privilege to be able to work in the Travel Industry for over 35 years. I remain passionate about what I do and take immense pride in serving my clients to the very best of my ability in order to meet their specific needs and wishes. Overall, I am committed to going the extra mile in order to create the perfect trip to suit their requirements. Getting to know my clients is really important to me, either by phone, Zoom or in person. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to put the perfect holiday together. I work very differently to the High Street and the online companies and am able to work with you at a mutually convenient time but largely at a time which suits you. I also specialise in tailor made itineraries and bespoke holidays. However, I must stress that no enquiry is too small. Being a Travel Counsellor means that I work individually so you only get myself at the end of the phone or email. In support of my personal and focused service, we have a fantastic customer service backing from Travel Counsellors Head Office. This provides the Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee in that all holidays are financially secured. It’s a real privilege to work with an award-winning company and for one of the largest travel providers in the UK with 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and having been established over 30 years. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to work independently with many tour operators, and as we have a trusted and long-standing relationship with many ground handlers all over the world, I can put together those unforgettable holiday moments for you. A key part of my job is to enhance and suggest amazing and awesome moments that will stay in your memories for years to come. A few examples which I’ve worked on include arranging for clients to sit amongst 100,000 king penguins in South Georgia, to ‘live local’ on Lake Titicaca in Peru, to island hop in Indonesia or to go rafting on the Zambezi River in Zambia. I can arrange all of these experiences and so much more. In addition to holiday experiences, I have also worked closely with groups and business travelers over many years. This is an important part of my service and I often work with bespoke needs for travel across a number of continents for both short and lengthy duration trips. I have worked through many of the challenging times which have impacted countries and the travel industry. This includes the impact of 9/11, the Ash Cloud, Tsunamis and of most recently COVID-19 and related Government travel policy decisions. None of us could have imagined the level of disruption on travel which we’ve encountered. I have been able to provide advice on changes to travel, respond to client needs and navigate through the range of often complicated policy restrictions. but being available for my clients allowed me to advise and rearrange around the restrictions in place, giving them the reassurance that they are not alone.I look forward to arranging trips for this year and beyond. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do the job I do. Travel has been a huge part of my life and I would be delighted to hear from you, whatever your travel enquiry. Finally, I am reminded of the words of Saint Augustine: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".I look forward to hearing from you soonThank you

    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...
