Hi, I’m Rich, Being a Travel Counsellor is my dream job. After many years travelling and living abroad, I’m now making a career out of what I love most.My passion for travel was sparked aged 8, on a family trip to Corfu. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and have lived in both Italy and the US where I stayed for 15 years, working as a real tennis professional, a career which also saw me travel extensively on the competition circuit.Travelling has shaped who I am, it’s influenced my outlook and informed my opinions. Because of that, it’s something I love sharing with other people. But, there’s a big difference between those who love to travel, and those who love to plan travel. Luckily, I love both.I partnered with Travel Counsellors because they understand that it’s the personal details that make all the difference. This global, multi-award winning company gives me the platform to do what I do best, all backed up with the security of 100% financial protection and 24/7 support. This allows me use my expertise, knowledge, and connections to deliver unforgettable holidays and build incredible bespoke itineraries for people who share my love for elevated experiences. Ultimately, I save you hours of time, so you can focus on the things that matter most to you. And, with me as your single point of contact, you’ll never have to talk to a call centre, either before your trip, or while you're away. So, if you’re ready to embark on the trip of a lifetime, then I can’t wait to hear from you. Your first step is to give me a call or send me an email and I promise to make the process fun and easy. My goal is to make sure I understand who you are and what you’re looking for, and I’ll curate a holiday especially for you. All you’ll need to do is show up at the airport with your bags packed, while I take care of the rest.

Hi, I’m Laura Finlay, and I’m still pinching myself that I get to call this work! 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!

My name is Emma and I am a friendly, dedicated Travel Counsellor based in South London. On completion of my university degree I decided to set off on an adventure and explore the world solo, before moving to London to begin my professional journey in travel. Fast forward 10 years and I’ve built myself a successful and fulfilling career in the travel industry. I am so grateful for the opportunities this line of work has given me, and that my expertise has enhanced other people’s travel experiences; It is incredible that I’ve been able to form a profession from what I love doing most in the world. My career thus far has had numerous highlights, including earning my spot on tons of incentive trips all over the world, and winning multiple performance based awards. Having worked in various roles, including management, I have gained insight into the process, product and customer service aspects of the industry. I definitely attribute my success to my underlying passion for travel and learning, but also my love of talking to people and forming relationships - many of my customers feel like friends and being sent holidays snaps from their trips never fails to make me smile.I’ve personally travelled to 47 countries across 6 continents (just Antarctica to get to!) and have specialised in Asia, North & Latin America, the Middle East and Africa, but feel confident that I can tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide. I have experience in booking a wide variety of customers, from corporate clients to backpackers, honeymooners to family holidays, and city breaks to long awaited trips of a lifetime. Speaking of corporate clients, I have numerous business accounts within the Media space, assisting with travel for TV and production purposes. I have experience in dealing with VIP/high profile individuals/Influencers and organising large groups; projects so far include Searching for Mexico with Eva Longoria, TOWIE’s season in the Caribbean, and multiple docuseries.As a Travel Counsellor I can’t wait to assist you in all your travel needs (flights, transfers, accommodations, cruises, tours, car hire) whatever they may be. I can be available outside of working hours so as to fit in with your schedules, and am also always happy to meet in person and holiday plan over a coffee (on me) if you’d prefer this to phone/email. I am so excited to hear from yourselves, your families and friends, and am looking forward to creating itineraries that will surpass your expectations and keep our working relationship going for years to come.

Welcome to my page. My name is Holly Clarke and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Kingsthorpe, Northampton.I am very passionate about all things travel and have been lucky enough to do a lot of travelling myself. As a child I was fortunate to go on some unforgettable holidays, and at the age of 8 my family emigrated to Spain and we lived in a small village just over the border from Portugal for 3 years which was one of the best experiences and where my true passion for travel and different cultures began. I was lucky enough to find a partner who was also as passionate about travel as I am and we went on a backpacking trip around Asia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America at the age of 20. After returning to the UK we decided we wanted to go and live in Australia, and moved to Perth where I opened a dog sitting/walking business.Since returning to the UK, I have been on a variety of different holidays from budget city breaks to luxury beach holidays, from backpacking to skiing through snowy mountains. I spend a lot of time planning and researching our holidays and have organised all the trips we have been on. I would love to share my knowledge, experience and passion for travelling with you. Travel isn't a 'job' for me, it would be my pleasure and privilege to be able to organise your travel arrangements, whatever they may be.

Hi, I’m Sharon, your independent Travel Counsellor in Wetherby, Yorkshire.I have been fortunate enough to travel to many parts of the world, with my first solo trip being to the USA. I spent a year working in, and exploring both the East and West Coast, where I would quickly learn how adrenaline-filled, empowering, and liberating the feeling of travel can be. Though the USA was the place that birthed my wanderlust, I have since visited over 30 countries across America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, as well as taking some time out of a corporate career to volunteer on a game reserve in South Africa. There is no where I feel more at peace than on the African Plains, and I can’t wait to return one day to share those moments with my family! I just love visiting new places, immersing myself in local cultures and discovering the unexpected! Whether that is an adventure trip exploring the wonders of Sri Lanka, or a great family holiday to Crete, I am confident that I can use that lust to help tailor the perfect trip in any destination worldwide.Since working in travel I have booked leisure holidays, tailor-made adventures, business travel, luxury honeymoons, and also specialise in group travel. I believe that arranging any kind of travel should be exciting and not stressful. Which is why with my help, I can take care of everything, so all you need to worry about is what to pack!I promise to make every element of your travel experience completely personal to you. I will share inspiration and itinerary suggestions, manage your booking, and organise those extra individual requirements that will make the difference between your experience being not just good, but exceptional. And with Travel Counsellors being one of the largest travel providers in the UK and part of a global network, I am able to access a vast range of options and suppliers, and build tailor-made trips bespoke to you.

If something happens and you need changes, I can leverage our size and our relationships to make that happen for you. That’s all part of the service. I deal with any size of party; so whether you are looking for corporate or team travel, a winter ski trip, family summer holiday, luxury honeymoon, sensational cruise or that trip of a lifetime, I would love to help organise your next adventure.

Whilst currently London based, I divide my time between visiting friends in Yorkshire and family in Bournemouth. However, from many years of leading tours and living abroad I have clients from all across the UK and further afield, many who have travelled with me and become great friends.Thirty years ago I started working in Greece in summer, skiing in Austria in winter, then progressed to guiding tours to North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East as well as Central Europe and Italy from my base of almost 15 years close to Salzburg in Austria. Until becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over ten years as Head of Product, at niche tour operators, creating tours worldwide including tours for music and opera fans, single travellers and specialist religious pilgrimages.When asked where my favourite place I have travelled to is, that changes often as I recall many experiences and each outshines the other. When you are ready to make plans or want inspiration I will happily enthuse and bring iconic sights and descriptions of scenery to a table of ideas and add those special hidden extras and touches that you won't always find in travelogues.My belief is that a holiday or cultural experience is personal and means something different to us all. We replenish and revitalise our body, soul and mind, immerse ourselves in fascinating foreign cultures, absorb the surroundings and enrich our lives spiritually. The experiences and memories travel gives us have immeasurable value that no material possessions can offer.I'll work with you to find the perfect holiday for you. We can arrange a call, video call or a friendly chat over coffee (or something a little stronger!) to get to know one another. I believe a face-to-face meeting helps gauge your reaction to ideas and suggestions so much better.Let's spend time discussing what you and your companions want from your travels; your likes, hobbies, bucket list and any previous travel stories you wish to share. Then, armed with that understanding, utilising my knowledge from more than 30 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I will work to find or create that holiday, cruise, travel or cultural experience that is just right for you. Whether it be a bespoke specially created itinerary or an off the shelf package holiday, time away is precious and needs thought. As an independent personal Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one company or ‘preferred partners’ and have the freedom to select airlines, hotels, cruises, sights and attractions based on personal experience, previous guest and client enjoyment. All backed with full financial protection with ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best in the industry.As your personal Travel Counsellor I'll ensure you have all information you require leading up to your departure, with passport, visa and health information including any necessary updates and follow your journey until you return home ensuring you are never left ‘high and dry’ should anything unexpected occur. All this is backed by our Travel Counsellors support team who are available 24/7. Having witnessed how other tour operators or travel agents fall short in serving their guests, this award-winning support is something I am extremely proud of.Call me or email me and let's get your journey started!

Hi, my name is Damian Flower, based in Hook Hampshire, where I have lived for the past 14 years raising my 2 sons, now 25 & 21, with my wife Karen. Having been in the Travel Industry for over 35 years, and working initially in retail holiday travel, I moved briefly to Tour Operation, but I have spent most of my career working and leading teams in corporate travel. I have managed a large variety of clients in the Media, Apparel & Investment Banking sectors. In 2008 I was able to combine my passions for travel & motorsport, becoming the Travel Operations Manager at McLaren Racing based in Woking Surrey. Having married Karen who shares the same travel bug, we have been fortunate enough to travel extensively all around the world, but feel the Maldives for our Silver Wedding Anniversary was a favourite. Having worked in F1 attention to detail and 24/7 accessibility is my bread & butter, so being able to offer this on a personal level for you will be my pleasure as well as my job. I believe that “Life should not be measured by just the number of breaths we take, but the number of breaths taken away” So, I look forward to hearing from you soon, for all, and every aspect of your Corporate & Leisure travel.

Hello, I’m Louise, and I chose a travel career because I have always believed that our most joyful memories are created by leaving behind the day to day and being free to explore. It’s a huge privilege to be able to provide this happiness to my customers by working hard to fully understand their specific requirements and tailor their dream trip! **Why work with me? ** After several years spent travelling and working abroad, I developed a love of learning languages and exploring cultures. I like to get off the beaten track, absorb what a place and its people are really like, and then share this know-how with my clients. I also love to go a step further and do the little things that others don’t, like booking good spots in restaurants using my Spanish, French and Portuguese! Above all, I will always endeavour to meet or chat with you to fully understand your unique requirements so I can provide a variety of holiday options that really hit the mark. If it is not right first time, I will fine tune the search to meet your needs until I find the very best trip for you. ** How I like to work with you** I run my travel business from my home in Stockport and love to meet customers face to face whenever possible, or virtually for locations outside of Greater Manchester and the UK. I take a personal approach, so expect lots of questions aimed at understanding exactly what kind of holiday you want! What I really enjoy is getting to know people and their families so that I can take care of them and ensure they have a wonderful experience. This means I can then grow my business by asking for referrals based on doing an excellent job. ** 24/7 care and financial protection ** Travel Counsellors is a globally recognised, independent travel company offering complete financial protection (ATOL Certification) and 24/7 back-office support should you require this, from the moment of booking through to your return home. Over time, the company has gained invaluable experience of navigating major challenges, such as airline collapses, volcanic eruptions and Covid cancellations, always ensuring the customer comes first and removing the need for you to wait on never-ending calls to customer service lines! You will also have access to all the details of your holiday, as well as important travel updates and payment facilities, in the TC travel app. The app also acts as a handy record and reminder of the detail of all your trips abroad. ** Let’s connect! ** Whatever your holiday plans are, I would love to meet you and further explain the value I can add and the unique support I provide. I will save you time and ensure you get the holiday you want by drawing on both my own experience and that of my 1,900+ Travel Counsellors colleagues who are specialists in every location.

If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself...My name is Kay and I live on the beautiful North Yorkshire east coast in sunny Scarborough. I have been married to my husband John for 30 years, and we have one adult son, Jay. Being brought up in my parents’ family-run hotel, I learnt at an early age the importance of customer service. This continued throughout my career in hospitality. I have worked in 5* hotels in London and Harrogate, I was an Event Manager in Sheffield and also a Business Travel Consultant with a large manufacturing company. Here, I had to source the best and most cost-effective way of travelling from A to B, booking worldwide flights, negotiating hotel rates, trains, ferries, car hire - creating itineraries to ensure busy schedules were adhered to.I have been on interesting holidays - driven across the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura and micro climate Gran Canaria, ridden through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain on a motorbike, dog-walked through stunning Southern Ireland, enjoyed family holidays in Egypt, Kos, Lanzarote, Croatia, Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Mexico, Dubai and shared the ocean with great whites in stunning South Africa! I have trapezed with Club Med in Greece, skydived in Florida, cruised the Med, driven along the PCH in California, seen the Northern Lights in Norway, lazed on beautiful Barbados and Mauritian beaches, experienced a traditional Hammam in Kalkan, enjoyed the culture of Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, gambled in Vegas and swum with dolphins in Walt Disneyworld, Orlando - one of my specialist areas of the world!So why book with me? Quite simply, ‘it’s personal'. I care about ensuring your holiday is perfect from start to finish - there is no charge for my expertise and I'm available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find a bespoke holiday that suits your needs exactly. I also offer you 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust - guaranteed peace of mind. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. We are the only UK travel company to have been awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise - three times now! So, if you are interested in a luxury Maldivian escape, a short fun European city break, a skiing adventure, meeting Mickey and Minnie in Disneyworld or taking a cruise or an African safari, contacting me will only cost you the same as a local call - alternatively just text, tweet, instant chat, Facebook or email me! I look forward to speaking with you!

I loved experiencing the culture in Havana and Trinidad followed by relaxation in Varadero with a cheeky trip out to the Beatles Bar. Since having children, my husband and I have been less adventurous and have stayed much closer to home with holidays to Crete, Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, Tenerife and around the UK with a real focus on child-friendly holidays.

Hello! I’m Lianna, an independent travel advisor based in Essex. I have more than 20 years’ experience of working with some of the industry’s leading leisure and corporate travel companies, and I’m passionate about sharing my expertise with my clients.Helping you to book your dream break is so much more than researching flights and hotels – it’s about ensuring that every moment of your valuable time off is relaxing, enjoyable and memorable. From checking you in for your flights, pre-booking seats, securing your preferred meal choice and confirming your transfer is ready and waiting when you arrive, no stone is left unturned. What’s more, I’m committed to finding you the best possible price for your trip. Think of me as your personal concierge, able to oversee room allocation, make dinner reservations and book day trips. I’ll even ensure Ed Sheeran turns up at the bar to serenade you and your partner on honeymoon (ok – the last point might be a bit of a stretch, but you get the general idea!) I love a challenge, so arranging multi-centre trips, overseas weddings and honeymoons is my speciality. I’m also brimming with great ideas for that once-in-a-lifetime holiday to celebrate a milestone birthday or anniversary. As your Travel Counsellor I’ll happily advise on important visa requirements and I’ll work tirelessly to create a holiday that suits your needs, whether you’re seeking a city break, cruise, all-inclusive or fly-drive. Rest assured that any booking made will be 100% protected and all Travel Counsellors are supported by a team of experienced travel professionals 24/7I’m lucky enough to have travelled extensively myself and my most memorable experiences include swimming on the Great Barrier Reef, having a natural mud bath in New Zealand, hiking up the Petit Piton in St. Lucia, attending my sister’s wedding in Italy, sipping cocktails in Havana and people-watching in St. Tropez. There are still plenty of more destinations on my bucket-list though – the more I travel, the more places I want to explore!I’m here to ensure you have the holiday you’ve always dreamed about with my personal, impartial first-class service. Give me a call to discuss your next getaway – I look forward to hearing from you!

I’m a Travel Counsellor who specialises in creating calm, beautifully organised travel for busy women and families. As a mum of two, I understand how precious time is — and how overwhelming it can feel to plan a holiday around real life. My goal is to make travel effortless for you, with every detail taken care of.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I worked with British Airways — an experience that gave me a deep understanding of airlines, fares, cabin classes, routes and how to get the best value out of flights. That insider knowledge is now a huge part of the service I offer. It means I can spot smarter options, avoid common pitfalls and tailor journeys that feel smooth from take-off to landing.While family travel is a natural speciality for me, I plan every kind of trip: luxury escapes, adult-only retreats, tailor-made itineraries, group adventures, special celebrations and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. Whatever you’re dreaming of, you’ll have personal support from start to finish, expert guidance, and a seamless journey shaped around what matters most to you.If you want travel that feels easy, organised and completely looked after, I’d love to help you plan your next escape.

Thank you for stopping by! It's Oscar here, your personal Travel Counsellor from Chichester, West Sussex, but I can also provide travel advice, recommendations and inspiration to you regardless of which corner of the planet you find yourself in!I am enthusiastic about everything I do, and I bring that enthusiasm with me when planning and curating dream travel itineraries for my cherished clients. I specialise in bespoke luxury travel arrangements and ensure that my clients receive travel suggestions that are personalised to their likes, dislikes and preferences, and those of their travelling party. I get to know my clients on a far more personal basis than traditional travel providers such as online booking sites, tour operators, and high street travel agents would ever bother to do. Get in touch to find out the methods to my madness...!Whilst tailored luxury travel arrangements may be my speciality, I channel my passion and enthusiasm into helping clients book a variety of travel options. From your all-inclusive resort holidays, to simply adding on another hotel stay to an existing holiday or even month-long expeditions across the North Pole, I've got you covered and make absolutely sure that every aspect of your itinerary is right for you. Some call me the Goldilocks of travel, ensuring everything is just right, but don't feel obliged to follow suit..!"So how exactly is that possible?" I hear you ask. Well, the answer is very simple. Being part of the award-winning Travel Counsellors community gives me access to over 2000 destination experts so, when there's a gap in my knowledge, I will still always be able to provide you with local suggestions from people who have first-hand experience of that location in the click of a finger. Combine that with a best-in-class tools-and-tech system, a behind-the-scenes support team who are on hand to assist 24-7 with rapid responses wherever you find yourself, a marketing department that enables me to share with you the latest travel deals, offers and travel updates the moment they are released, and access to thousands of trade-only suppliers who provide the best rates and travel opportunities that you may not have even known existed, and you find yourself a travel guru that can turn your dream trips and holidays into reality.Do you find yourself still wanting more?! Well fortunately for you, Oliver Twist, there is more!! My clients benefit from a multitude of other offerings that come as standard including low deposit payments, full financial protection from ATOL licensing and the Travel Counsellors Trust alongside other forms of financial security, and convenient communication channels, as well as saving time that would otherwise be spent with your nose in front of a computer endlessly researching your next holiday destination. So join my clients and start booking your travel the right way.Why choose me specifically? Great question. Apart from my unwavering enthusiasm and attention to the finest details, I am a sucker for exploring different cultures and have not only been fortunate enough to have visited some amazing destinations including Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, the USA and even the Galapagos Islands, but I have also spent time living in various places such as Marbella, Barcelona, Tenerife (hablo Español!), the French Alps, and Finnish Lapland in the height of winter where temperatures dropped as low as -35°C! On top of that, I have spent the majority of my adult life working in luxury hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott's luxury-lifestyle brand, The Edition, and the massively up-and-coming Sani Ikos chain. So it's fair to say I know pretty well what's possible when it comes to hotel stays and can give insider recommendations to clients looking into booking a luxury hotel as part of their travel itinerary.If you think I can be of assistance for an upcoming holiday, I'd love to hear from you! Thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to speak soon!

Hello and welcome!My name is Jan and I am here to help, advise and assist you in making your travel arrangements as perfect as possible. I have spent many years travelling and living abroad but am now enjoying a quiet life in the countryside. Actually, living with 2 dogs, 2 cats, 3 chickens and in a full renovation project means it is not quite as quiet as I would like it to be, but I am working towards it being so one day!I was in my late teens when I first went to work abroad in Germany and was immediately bitten by the bug of all things foreign. Everything intrigued me, from learning the language, appreciating a different culture, enjoying new culinary experiences and especially the pure adventure of it all. My first big trip was to the USA where I hitch hiked through a dozen states, which brought a wealth of weird and wonderful experiences. I then went on to finance my travels by working ski seasons and travelling a different continent each summer. Hence it was a natural progression for me to go onto work in travel and combine my experience and passion and I have now amassed over 30 years in the industry, mostly working as a travel consultant. During this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge about airlines, countries, different routes, specialist lodges, unique boutique accommodations and quality hotels. I take great pride in taking the time to find the ones you will enjoy most. I am a worldwide consultant but specialise in booking business class flights, quality hotels and designing bespoke itineraries – no two are ever the same! I believe that booking a holiday is a very personal experience and only by getting to know people, their tastes and interests that you can truly create the ideal itinerary for them. I think that the whole booking experience should be an enjoyable process from the first conversation to the unpacking of the suitcase. Working as a travel counsellor allows me to be completely flexible and independent in the way I work and thus being able to offer a customised, nothing is too much trouble, expert service to my clients. So if this sounds of interest or you would just like to have a chat or call for some advice then please don’t hesitate to get in touch.Happy travels, Jan

I would love to hear from you about your travel plans and help to build you a fabulous tailor-made trip that matches your requirements and your budget.

I’ve experienced many types of travel aside from beach holidays including ski, cruises, city breaks and safaris travelling as a couple, then as a family, on business and also with groups of friends so understand the needs of all types of travellers. My personal favourites have to be Santorini for the dramatic scenery and stunning blue domes, Mykonos with its windmills and sugar cube houses (plus Shirley Valentine moments!), Mexico for its excitement, culture and beaches, Africa for its amazing wildlife and friendly people and Gran Canaria for its year-round sunshine. However you can’t beat a cruise to experience a variety of exciting destinations all in one trip!As your Travel Counsellor I have access not only to brochured holidays but a huge range of additional specialist suppliers, far greater than can be found on the High St, that will help to build your perfect experience.

Making Special MemoriesEveryone has a story about a fondly remembered holiday – very often more than one. These might be from childhood, a first trip to an exotic destination, or perhaps a trip to celebrate a special occasion. Whichever it is, one thing is for certain, holidays hold a special place in our hearts and minds and give us memories that we treasure.But putting together something as simple as a city break, let alone your dream trip, can be stressful. With the world to choose from – where is the perfect destination for us? What is the best way of booking it – direct or through an agent of some sort? Will my trip be financially protected? What if something goes wrong – how do I get help when I am away?These are all legitimate questions, and I help my clients by providing the answers.Let me introduce myself. My name is Neil.For the past 10 years it’s been my pleasure to help make every client’s holiday not just special, but hopefully one that they will talk about years later. I take pride in the service I deliver to achieve this, and really do care about making every trip you take as perfect as it can be.Why place your trust in me?Four decades of working in the travel industry, including managing a large tour operator and travelling the world to inspect hotels for over 20 years, has helped give me a unique insight into what makes the difference between a good holiday, and a truly memorable one.I build strong relationships with clients, and am fortunate that, through years of repeat bookings, many have become friends. As a Travel Counsellor, I set out to deliver on your detailed personal requirements, not just the generic travel arrangements.

I want to make sure your trip is everything you want it to be - it’s important to me both professionally and personally. I make sure I am available to discuss your requirements at any time, including in the evening and over the weekend. You can contact me by phone, email, or via social media sites. I would also be delighted to meet you at my office or in the comfort of your home. After your booking has been made, I will provide all the vital information you need for your trip to go smoothly. Once your holiday starts, I can monitor your itinerary, and remind you about important deadlines, ensuring everything is booked as it should be, leaving you to enjoy a stress free time away.So where will you go next?From a trip to the Cotswolds to a round-the-world tour, I can organise your memorable trip for you. It might take you across the world to the land of down under, or to the tropical delights of South-East Asia. You might have always wanted to see the Big Apple or the Grand Canyon. Maybe a cultural tour of Europe’s great capitals is your thing. Or is something more laid back your style – strolling along a white sand beach in the Caribbean perhaps?Whatever type of holiday you want, however large or small, I can certainly guide you. I deliver expert advice and take care of all your travel arrangements and needs; from the moment you leave home to the moment you get back. I hope to hear from you and start to help you create your next special memories.

Argentina and Costa Rica spring to mind. We've been lucky enough recently to visit the likes of Cuba, the Rockies in Canada, Jamaica and Iceland to really create some special family memories.

My StoryI divide my life between two very different yet perfectly complementary worlds: Henley-on-Thames and Hoedspruit in South Africa, on the edge of Kruger National Park. Both shape how I design travel, combining polished, personal service with an insider’s understanding of Africa’s wild beauty. I create exceptional tailor-made journeys that blend creativity, precision and deep destination knowledge. My goal is simple: to remove the stress from planning and give you access to the kind of experiences, insight and connections that only come from genuine expertise. Having travelled across six continents and spent extensive time in Africa and the Indian Ocean, I know the destinations I recommend first-hand - from visiting lodges and meeting local guides to exploring regions by land, air and sea. I plan journeys across Africa, Asia, the Americas and beyond, drawing on trusted partners who provide seamless support every step of the way. My ApproachEvery itinerary I design is unique. It starts with a conversation to understand who you are, how you like to travel, and what matters most, be that privacy, sustainability, wildlife, culture, or family connection. I then build a journey that fits your interests and travel style, managing every element from flights and transfers to special experiences. As an independent specialist, I offer complete flexibility, consultations by phone, video, or in person, across time zones and outside standard hours. Behind each trip is a network of trusted suppliers and local experts who share my standards for service and sustainability, ensuring exceptional quality wherever you travel.Journeys for Every ChapterWeddings & Honeymoons: Bespoke safaris or intimate island elopements. Family & Multi-Generational: Safaris with child-friendly guides, villas with space for all ages. Wellness & Retreats: From Ayurvedic programs in Sri Lanka to nature-based wellness lodges. Adventure & Diving: Diving, hiking, or wildlife expeditions from Raja Ampat to Antarctica. Hobbyist Travel: Tailored for photographers, birders, or sports enthusiasts. Exclusive Use Escapes: Private villas, lodges and yachts for total privacy. Small Expedition Cruises: Expert-led voyages to extraordinary destinations with sustainability at their core.Responsible TravelResponsible travel underpins everything I do. I believe luxury and sustainability belong together. I’m a Global Sustainable Tourism Council-certified tour operator, a TTG Media Sustainable Travel Ambassador, and partner with GAP, supporting girls’ education in Tanzania. My core principles: Animal Welfare: Only wild, ethical wildlife experiences. Community Focus: Supporting lodges that prioritise fair employment and local impact. Conservation: Promoting partners involved in habitat and anti-poaching projects. Cultural Respect: Celebrating and preserving local culture authentically.Why Work With Me My clients value first-hand knowledge, integrity and genuine personal care. Experience: Extensive global travel and destination insight. Independence: No set contracts, only what’s right for you. Personal Connection: You deal directly with me, start to finish. Flexibility: I plan around your schedule. Trust & Support: Backed by Travel Counsellors with ATOL, travel trust protection and 24/7 assistance.

My name is Thea, originally from London, I moved to the South-West for university and decided to call this place home. I’ve since moved to the suburb of Keynsham but frequently visit both Bristol and Bath to see my clients. After graduating as a Neuroscientist, I decided that life in a laboratory simply wasn’t for me and decided to fuel my other passion in life – travel. As a graduate, I retrained in travel and tourism and haven’t looked back since. My role as a Travel Counsellor, as cheesy as it sounds, allows me to make dreams come true. From that iconic honeymoon to first family holiday, my job is to create incredible memories that will be remembered for years to come. The joy this gives me simply cannot be replaced by any other job. Being your Travel Counsellor means I am my own boss. I can work my own hours, do any special touches I desire and overall go above and beyond for my clients. This flexibility means I am there whenever you need me to be. Can’t speak until after work? Not a problem – I am not restricted to certain hours. Want to meet up in person? Perfect – let's meet in a coffee shop, house etc. My aim is to ensure that your experience is as personalised and perfect from the start of your enquiry all the way through to your return home. I often get asked what’s your favourite place in the world? The answer is everywhere! My personal experience is vast and everywhere in the world offers a unique experience in its own way. Most recently I’ve found myself exploring the depths of India, on safari in Africa, touring in Europe and sunbathing in the Caribbean. Chances are what you are planning I’ve either done it myself or are planning it in the near future. Whatever you are looking to do, don’t hesitate to get in contact no matter how big or small. I look forward to helping you plan your dream trip soon!

Hello, I’m Michelle, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Wickford, Essex.Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Even at school I knew I wanted to work in the travel industry: the idea of discovering new destinations, cultures and experiences was simply irresistible. Over 20 years on, that same excitement is still there every time I help a client plan their next escape.I am also a specialist in Disney holidays, with first‑hand experience across multiple magical trips. I have visited Disneyland Paris several times, enjoyed unforgettable stays at Walt Disney World in Orlando and have sailed on a Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. This means I can offer practical, tried‑and‑tested advice on everything from choosing the right resort and dining options to park planning and those extra special touches that make a Disney holiday truly memorable.Across my career I have been fortunate enough to visit some incredible destinations and stay in a variety of remarkable hotels. A real highlight was my time working with Sandals and Beaches, when I joined an educational trip to Jamaica. In just five days we visited all of their resorts: from sipping premium cocktails and relaxing by the pool to enjoying the luxury of my own butler for the day, it was a trip I will never forget.I can help with every kind of trip: a quick city break, your family’s all‑important summer holiday, a magical Disney adventure, a romantic getaway or that once‑in‑a‑lifetime escape you have always dreamed of. I will take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and tailor every detail so your holiday feels completely personal.All of your travel arrangements are fully financially protected, including ATOL protection and the peace of mind provided by the Travel Counsellors Trust.If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would love to hear your ideas.

Welcome to Travel Counsellors. My name is William and I live in Norwich, where I have been based in between bouts of travel for the last 45 plus years. Now in my thirteenth year with Travel Counsellors, I am passionate about travel and have been lucky enough to visit all seven continents, spending time in over one hundred countries; from Australia to Zimbabwe, Austria to Zambia. I am married with a fifteen year old daughter, who already has her fair share of passport stamps! Alex is now twelve and doing his best to catch up with his big sister, although he does prefer it at home!I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in January 2009, I was a travel consultant with another large independent agency in the UK and prior to that I worked as a flight attendant with British Airways and Air UK. I studied Interpreting and Translation (French and German) at the University of East Anglia, and can also converse in Spanish, Dutch and Italian, should the need arise. This can be very helpful when making special requests for clients directly with hotels, tour companies and airlines.After my studies, I spent nearly three years roaming the globe on an ‘extended’ honeymoon incorporating a special wedding gift of an Antarctic cruise from the southern tip of Argentina. Other trips include extensive travel through Southern and East Africa, USA, Canada, South America, Australia, New Zealand, numerous smaller islands in the Pacific (Fiji, Cook Islands, Tonga and Samoa, among others) and time in South East Asia (Malaysia, Thailand, Laos to name but a few) and the Far East. The cruising bug has also caught me - I have first-hand experience of A-Rosa, Riviera Travel's river cruise boats, AMA Waterways, Regent Seven Seas, Fred Olsen, Azamara Cruise Club, Silverseas, Royal Caribbean, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL), Princess, Gap Adventures and Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC).I can offer you up to date, first-hand knowledge of many countries, can guarantee to be enthusiastic about your booking (and only a little envious!) and save you the time and stress of carrying out your own research. So, be it short stays in the UK and the rest of Europe, honeymoons abroad, fly-drives in the USA or complicated round-the-world itineraries, please do contact me; I look forward to hearing from you.Best wishes,

Hi, I'm Amy, I live in Reading with my partner and two children.I have worked for an industry-leading travel agency for 10years where I specialised in creating tailormade travel itineraries. During this time I've have been so lucky to have visited 5 continents and experience some absolutely magical experiences along the way. My depth of travel knowledge started as a backpacker in my 20's and since having a family has shifted towards family travel. Along this journey I have been lucky enough to experience some of the most luxurious travel brands and destinations in the world. Some of the highlights have been the Maldives, Oman, Dubai, Seychelles and Japan. I love to seek out adventure as well as luxury and have taken trips to trek with the Mountain Gorilla's of Rwanda, hike the Ancient Inca Trail and walk along the icon Great Wall of China. The sounds, smells, food, culture and experiences of a new destination is what makes me happy in life. There is nothing better than visiting somewhere different in the world, variety in life is everything.My favourite Destination: Japan My last Trip: Majorca My Next Trip: Royal Caribbean Europe Cruise Bucket List Destination: Galapagos IslandsWorking with clients to design and tailor their travel experiences is a true privilege and to continually learn about different cultures and destinations is priceless. I can't wait to discuss your next trip with you and be on the journey with you along the way.

My experiences began early. My Dad started his own travel business in the 1970s and I've been absorbed by the subject ever since. I went down another road for a while – a degree in accountancy, a Masters in IT – but the family business was way more interesting. I've never looked back. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences. After more than twenty years in the industry, I've been running my own business since 2015. Edinburgh is my home.Please feel free to have a nosey around my website for some inspiration! www.gillianstewartholidays.com

Hello & welcome to my Travel Counsellors webpage!!I have been travelling the world most of my adult life visiting a variety of far flung places.I first caught the travel bug in my early 20s when I was backpacking between Thailand and Singapore (before mobile phones and the internet) and I haven't looked back since. I have been lucky enough to experience some amazing places but my choice of where to stay since those early days has most definitely improved. It's now more about views, food and location than cheapest possible and questionable hostels.So far, I have visited more than 50 countries stretching from North America to South East Asia and the Caribbean to Australia. People often ask where is my favourite place I have visited. It's a question I struggle to answer as each destination offers a different experience. Travelling is my university so I am still learning and exploring.I love creating memorable journeys and pride myself on treating your holiday with as much care as I do my own. The support you'll receive from me is second to none and I am here to help you navigate through these difficult times.So why not get in touch and let me see how I can help with your next trip?I look forward to hearing from you,Happy travelling!

Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian.My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers.I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special. I will be honest and offer unbiased advice and above all I will never underestimate the size of your emotional and financial investment. I will support you throughout.So whether you are looking for a UK break, a tailor made worldwide itinerary, a city break, a relaxing week on the beach, a river or ocean cruise I would love to help you. I am available when and how it suits you. We all have different life schedules and I can work around yours.Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. The details are below. We already have our passion for travel in common so I know this will be fun.
