Hi my name is Sue. I am based in the beautiful spa town of Harrogate and am married with two daughters in their early twenties. Together we have been lucky enough to travel all over the world – experiencing family holidays, luxury breaks and long-haul, tailor made excursions.I have worked in several areas of the travel and tourism industry for over 30 years – from working in a high street travel agency (where I was constantly awarded as an ‘A’ performer), to providing business travel for a large corporate company, and even being a ground agent at Leeds-Bradford airport. All of these positions have helped me to achieve high levels of experience and exceptional customer service that I will be able to apply to your enquiry.Having travelled extensively during my career, I have first hand knowledge of many destinations including Australia, the Far East, Fiji, USA and the Caribbean, amongst many European beach locations including the Balearics, Canaries, Cyprus, Portugal, Mainland Spain and Turkey. I also love going on European city breaks, my favourites being Rome & Prague, although having also visited Venice, Nice and Paris. I can certainly give you great tips on what to see and do in all of these destinations and the best ways of experiencing the local culture that surrounds them.My passion for travel will guarantee that you receive the best possible service and competitive pricing at all times, and as Travel Counsellors are an independent company, I have access to hundreds of accommodations, flights and essentials that can be tailored to your specific requirements - whether it is a family holiday, a cruise, a late deal or a special occasion, your perfect holiday experience can be created from start to finish. It would be my pleasure to help organise your holiday within the comfort of your own home, whilst also helping you save a great deal of time and money. Please feel free to contact me by phone where we can have a one to one conversation at a time that suits you, or send me an email with your full requirements and I will reply with the relevant information as soon as possible.

Hello & thank you for taking time to view my website. My name is Cathy Acheson and I am based in Tandragee, Co-Armagh. I have been in travel, selling customers their dream holidays since 1999 with various known travel agencies. In March 2008 I became a personal Travel Counsellor because the company shares my passion for travel and believes in offering exceptional levels of customer service. I have vast experience in selling all types of holidays, from short to long haul flights, ski trips, cruises, group bookings, tailor made trips, city breaks, business trips, relaxing family holidays and not forgetting those extra special occasions, by organising honeymoons and weddings abroad. I have had the pleasure of visiting many beautiful places such as, Barbados, Jamaica, Las Vegas, Florida, the Bahamas and many more. I have travelled the Med, a particular favourite being Cyprus. I have set sail aboard many of the Royal Caribbean Cruise Liners, which is an experience not to be missed. I offer a bespoke flexible service, which means I am able to offer you a service that is available at a time that is convenient to you. Let me take the stress out of organising your next trip, just give me a call or send me an email, then sit back and relax, I'll do the rest. I look forward to speaking to you!! Cathy

Hello, I’m Sharon.I live in Arundel, West Sussex with my husband and our gorgeous Cyprus rescue Poodle who has travelled extensively with us on nearly every mode of transport and has held 3 different passports – Cypriot, UK and France. He is most certainly quite the little globetrotter.My love for travel began with my very first flight at just three years old. From that moment, I knew this was the industry I wanted to be part of. Over the past 40+ years, I’ve worked across many sectors of the travel and tourism industry, gaining invaluable experience & knowledge , of most elements that make up your holiday such as airlines - both on the ground and in the air, cruise lines, hotels - as well as co-owning a coach travel business for 20 years with my husband, and owning a Chambres d'hotes in Brittany, France .I grew up in beautiful South Africa, moving to the UK in my mid twenties. During my childhood, due to the size of South Africa, it was never necessary to travel abroad, so as a family we travelled extensively within the country. As well as visits to smaller countries in Southern Africa such as Botswana, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. As a young adult, after a few years with South African Airways, I then embarked onto my travel agent journey, selling inbound as well as outbound holidays. So my knowledge of South Africa is extensive, should this be a destination you are interested in. I have also lived in Brittany, France, and my travels have taken me to incredible destinations including the Caribbean, Canada, New York, Iceland, Mauritius, Dubai, and India — to name just a few. I also have a passion for cruising - where else can you be in a luxury hotel, unpack once, yet visit multiple destinations. What I love most about my job is helping bring a customer’s travel vision to life. I’m passionate about creating unforgettable holidays that are as unique as each of my clients. From our first conversation, we’ll talk about your ideal trip — your likes, dislikes, and those special little touches that will make it truly memorable. From there, I’ll craft a bespoke itinerary just for you. Whether you’re dreaming of relaxing on a beach, exploring a vibrant city, or setting sail on a luxury cruise, I’m here to help you every step of the way — from the moment you book until you return home. And with 24/7 support, you're never on your own.With my exceptional customer service, care, attention to detail, and the backing of Travel Counsellors — a globally recognised and trusted brand — you’ll have complete financial protection and total peace of mind.So, whether it’s a cosy UK getaway or a grand, round-the-world adventure, I’ll work closely with you to make sure your trip is everything you’ve dreamed of — and more.For me, travel isn’t just about getting from A to B. It’s about the stories, the memories, and the joy of discovery. I’m your personal Travel Advisor, here to turn your travel dreams into reality.

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

I live in Innellan, Argyll, with my wife, 13 year old son, 2 cats and 2 gerbils, but hail from the Isle of Jura in the Inner Hebrides.I first found my love for travel when I was 20 years old and spent 6 months in New Zealand on a study tour as part of my college course. I got the bug! I then went on to travel around Australia and New Zealand again, with visits to the Cook Islands, Fiji, Hong Kong, and Singapore thrown in. After I met my wife, we set off on an almost 2 year adventure travelling extensively throughout America and Canada before ending up in New Zealand and returning home via Thailand. We also attended a wedding on the west coast of Mexico which was an amazing holiday and we did a transatlantic cruise for my 40th birthday. For my wife's 40th we had an incredible holiday based in Mombassa, Kenya, with a 4 day safari included. Latterly it's been more about family holidays. Visiting Florida, touring British Columbia in Canada by campervan, taking several cruises (Caribbean and Mediterranean) plus of course lots of beach holidays in the Canary Islands and Med. Recently, I decided it was time for a career change and to bring some of my passion for travelling to Travel Counsellors.So why book with me? Here at Travel Counsellors we care more than anyone else. We offer bespoke holidays carefully crafted to your requirements without being bound by sales targets or told to push certain holidays. We only deal with trusted suppliers and offer full financial protection through the ATOL scheme plus our unique travel trust fund where your payments are safely stored until after you have travelled. (We came top for refunds during the pandemic according to Money Saving Expert.) With over 2000 Travel Counsellors worldwide, we have a wealth of shared knowledge all backed up by over 300 support staff with 24/7 support available. We have no call centres, so you won't find yourself stuck on hold in a queue. I will be your direct point of contact.

Give me a call or drop me an email and we can start planning your dream holiday today!

Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here.I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable.In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries.We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal.Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!).My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them.If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape?

Hi, I’m Julie and I’m a Travel Counsellor based near Cheltenham in the Cotswolds. Having worked in the travel and sports hospitality industry for over 25 years, I am an experienced tour operator and business and leisure travel manager, well versed in every aspect of local and International travel.As well as devising exciting, bespoke itineraries, romantic honeymoons, action-packed multi destination holidays and handling last minute business travel arrangements, I have also managed and specialised in International sports group travel.For 10 years I organised and led VIP supporters tours to various international sporting events including rugby, cricket, horseracing, tennis and golf, and have travelled extensively as a result to the Far East, Hong Kong, USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. I was more recently Travel Manager for the USA Men's National rugby team (Eagles) having organised the travel for their last 2 tours to Europe and South America.Without doubt, travel is my passion in life and I am delighted to be working as an independent travel counsellor with the invaluable support of a head office that enables me to provide around-the-clock service to my clients.

My recent city break favourites have got to be New York for its high energy and sophistication; and beautiful Copenhagen for its charm, that famous Danish ‘hygge’ and a cosy café I recommend in winter for the most deliciously warming glass of gløgg.So next time you are considering your travel - be it business or pleasure – instead of trawling the internet or high street come and talk to a genuine travel enthusiast and professional who will deliver true value for money and efficiently organise every aspect of your journey. With complete peace of mind, and safe in the knowledge that I provide a 24/7 service to care for any needs you may have along the way, you will be free to really enjoy the travel experience ahead.I look forward to hearing from you.Julie.

Hello.My name is Grant Simpson and I run my own franchise through Travel Counsellors. I have been in the Travel Industry for over 27 years and pride myself in delivering outstanding service- at no cost to you. The most common question a travel agent will ever be asked is 'why should I book with you rather than online?'. In the days of Covid19 it's more important than ever to be informed when it comes to who to trust with your hard earned money. Here are my most frequently asked questions as a Travel Counsellor to give you more of an insight into what I do and how I can help you with your future holiday plans.Why should I book with you rather than through a website? I am the owner of my own travel business so there's nothing I care more about than you and your holiday. You will only ever deal with me and I am at your disposal from the moment you get in touch to enquire until the moment you walk through your front door on return from your holiday. The first thing you would need to do is to complete my enquire form in full just here below:- Please ensure that i have full names, dates of births as per passports before you submit this to me.https://forms.office.com/e/bBDBzV1fD6?origin=lprLinkNext - make an appointment by clicking here below :-https://outlook.office.com/bookwithme/user/c4784f8542b941488d088608c94dd2bf%40travelcounsellors.com?anonymous&ismsaljsauthenabled=true I am available on the phone, in person, via email and on various social media channels so there's lots of different ways you can get in touch with me depending on your preferences.

I can also book the likes of Jet2 Holidays, Easyjet Holidays and many more - the bonus being you'll only ever deal with me rather than someone from a call centre so should something go wrong I will be the one to sort it out for you.Will it be more expensive to book through you? As a regular traveller myself I know how important it is to ensure you always get the best deal. I will always try my absolute best to ensure everything I offer to you is competitively priced.

My portfolio of exceptional hand-picked hotels and villas throughout the world is vast, from quirky boutique hotels to well known family resorts, secluded hideaways to stunning villas- this is just the tip of the iceberg, as I work very closely with over 700 major tour operators and having my own in house tour operation too, enables me to craft the perfect trip for my discerning clients.So whatever you are looking for, even if you cannot see it on the website, it would be impossible to showcase the hundreds of daily offers from my trade partners, airlines, hotels, cruise lines, villas and resorts I have at my fingertips, I would still love to hear from you after all.

So please do not keep me a secret !

I love to personally communicate with my clients on a friendly, unbiased one to one basis and most importantly listen to what you are wanting and ask the right questions !I look forward to speaking to you soon...

My name is Sharon Messett and I have more than 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, including 20 working as a Travel Counsellor. It’s a role I love, as it gives me the chance to embrace my passion for travel on a daily basis, exploring new destinations through my research as well as returning to old favourites. I find it enormously rewarding helping my clients find the best experience possible for the type of holiday they want, whether it be a ‘flop and drop’ family beachside holiday, or a luxury retreat.I have been fortunate to have travelled extensively myself; including trips to Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Africa, North America and the Caribbean, and have gained intimate knowledge of these long-haul destinations. Now that I have children, I am enjoying discovering more short-haul destinations around Europe including some amazing road trips with them to central Europe. For me, one of the best things about travel is the freedom that it gives you – travel brings anticipation, education, excitement and the joy of adventure into your life!TRAVEL WITH A CONSCIENCE My travels have also shown me the positive and negative effects of tourism; at its best when it is supporting communities who rely on visitors for their income, and at its worst where over-tourism has had a detrimental effect on locals and the environment. Over time, this has given me the opportunity to reflect, and I have realised that I have a growing interest in sustainable tourism. I would like to help you to find holidays and destinations which are amazing experiences and have a minimal impact or preferably offer positive environmental footprints.Travelling sustainably and responsibly is becoming increasingly more and more important for many travellers, and as your Travel Advisor I can carefully consider how to assist in building your perfect itinerary to make your trip kind to both people and our planet. I believe that sustainable travel also helps us to have more authentic travel experiences – visiting unspoilt places and immersing in the local culture is one of my passions, and one that I share with many of my clients.BOOK WITH ME AND I’LL LOOK AFTER YOU When it comes to travel, it’s important to know that you are booking with someone dependable, who you can trust, and who understands your precise needs every step of the way. The close relationships I build with each and every one of my clients, and the levels of care I can provide as your Travel Advisor, means that no-one can look after you better than I will. It makes me extremely proud to know that so many of my customers have recommended my services to their family, friends and associates. Being an independent Travel Advisor means I am not restricted to using only major holiday companies and allows me to create the perfect trip for you. Booking through Travel Counsellors also gives you security, as your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.LOOKING AHEAD – PLAN YOUR GETAWAY I am sure that many of you, like me, want to plan a holiday for 2025/2026 - to have something to look forward to. Let me provide you with first-hand expertise and information to inspire your next adventure and let's see where the next year takes you.If you are unable to travel yet, then the next best thing to travelling is talking about it and planning it. Therefore, if you can't yet go where you want to just yet, let's discuss your plans instead. Please give me a call or send me an email and we can have a chat!

Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors. With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar. Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!Best wishes, Zoe

My most recent holiday was an amazing tour of Sri Lanka where I can honestly say it was was of the best ever as Sri Lanka is so unique and diverse as it has so much to offer you can go on a VIP tour, have the best of everything and not pay a fortune!

My clients enjoy the fact they don't have to leave their home, park up and go to the high street agency when they book with me so it streamlines everything.

Are you ready for a journey that combines travel, culture, and great food? If you love discovering new places and flavours, I’d love to help you plan an experience that brings them all together. I’m an experienced traveller and hospitality event planner with a passion for exploring the world and enjoying its many cuisines. My goal is to help you discover destinations in a way that feels personal, authentic, and memorable. After spending over ten years in France, I’ve had the chance to explore much of Europe, North and South America, Asia, and the Middle East. These travels have given me a deep appreciation for the connection between people, culture, and food. I create travel experiences that let you do more than just see a place—you get to truly experience it. That might mean visiting a local market, taking part in a hands-on workshop, or enjoying a private meal that showcases regional flavours. Each itinerary is designed to reflect the spirit of the destination and to make every moment special. My background in hospitality, along with my time living in the south of France and the French Alps, has shaped my approach to travel planning. I bring together culture, history, cuisine, and adventure—whether that means finding a hidden local gem, enjoying the slopes, or discovering a quiet spot away from the crowds.

Florida is my favourite destination because of all the theme parks, especially Disney, I was lucky to be able to go there nearly every year from the ages 1-8.

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.

Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page. I have been in the travel industry for 37 years now. I started straight from school as a trainee and worked my way up to a Branch Manager of a high-street travel agency. After a few years, I moved to Head Office into a Business Development role where I was responsible for training travel agents all over the UK, this included worldwide destination training and cruising. I also led many trips abroad visiting new destinations and hotels (it was a hard job but someone had to do it!) I left the travel business for a short time to help with my family business but soon missed the travel bug, and before joining Travel Counsellors I worked as a Cruise Specialist selling many different cruises all over the world. I've been lucky enough to of sailed on over 80 cruises with many different cruise lines and I am often recommended to first time cruisers as its imperative you sail on the right ship! I love cruising but I also love all aspects of Travel and my many years of personal travel around the world and excellent knowledge means I can find the perfect holiday for you, whether it be a Cruise, beach holiday, city break, touring holiday or even just flights. I live in Essex and the special “boy” in my life is my West Highland Terrier called Gizmo, he’s now fourteen years old and my absolute world.I’ve been very lucky to of travelled to many different places all over the world, my favourite destinations are Australia, America, The Caribbean, Costa Rica, Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Sri Lanka, Spain and Vietnam. When I travel, I like to go behind the touristy scene and see what makes the people and the towns tick, I love to go off the beaten track and explore. My saying is, “I haven’t been to everywhere yet, but it’s on my list”.I joined Travel Counsellors because I really believe in personal service, I have always excelled in customer service, I remember the “old days” when nothing was too much trouble and it was just the norm to go above and beyond for a customer and that’s what I will do for you here at Travel Counsellors. I have been with Travel Counsellors for 9 years now and the majority of my business now comes from repeat clients and referrals, you can read some of my clients comments on my service below, I am certainly very proud to provide exceptional customer service and making my clients dreams come true. Along the way I have won some awards such as "Most Helpful Travel Counsellor" "Cruise Star Mentor of the Year" and recently I have been appointed as a Travel Counsellor Cruise Ambassador. I am available pretty much 24/7 and contactable by email, telephone, I can help with any aspect of your holiday to any destination in the world, including flights, hotels, cruises, excursions, tours, ski holidays, weddings and honeymoons, city stays, UK breaks, beach holidays and much more, and because of my wealth of knowledge and experience I will always make sure your holiday is the holiday you have dreamed of.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Bev, and I live in Worcester Park, Surrey. I have 2 children aged 9 & 7.I have worked in travel for 23 years, the majority of which I have specialised in corporate travel. I find building up relationships with clients with whom I speak on a weekly or even daily basis to be very rewarding, but that doesn’t stop me enjoying arranging leisure travel as well where possible. Whilst working for another company, I qualified several times for the annual global ball, which I’m pleased to say put me in the top 10% of the company for sales. I’m particularly proud of an individual award for Outstanding Customer Service, something I always strive to achieve.I count myself lucky to have been able to travel extensively, the highlights of which are 3 years working in Japan and a 3-month sabbatical to South America. What I love about Travel Counsellors is the opportunity to offer flexible business hours to my clients, and be on call when they need me. The extensive range of airfares and hotel contracts gives me full confidence that I can offer the client whatever they need. Listening to clients is so important, and although I may ask a lot of questions about the nature of their travel, this is only to ensure I provide options that are relevant - I’m not just a personal search engine, I will always go out of my way to be able to offer quotes on all elements of travel, whether that be private transfers, airport assistance, hotel requests or how to book a dog on board.For the last 2 years I have won the Corporate Customer Feedback award, of which I am incredibly proud.Therefore, please feel free to contact me for further details, or even better trial our services.

From trekking through the Nepalese jungle to island hopping in Greece, my passion for travel knows no limits. I thrive on adventure, and nothing excites me more than seeking out the unexpected and embracing new experiences each step of the way.Originally from the beautiful Cotswolds and now based in vibrant London, I’ve been lucky enough to travel around the globe, including an unforgettable 18-month journey. Whether exploring ancient temples in Asia, experiencing vibrant cultures in South America, or soaking up the spectacular landscapes of North America, my travels have given me a wealth of experience and inspiration.I’ve also had the privilege of working in fun-filled Florida and the sun-soaked landscapes of Australia. These experiences have enriched my perspective, proving that the most memorable moments often come from the people we meet and the connections we make along the way.Now, as a mum to two energetic boys, I understand how important it is to create holidays that are filled with wonder and joy for everyone. Whether you dream of a wild family adventure, a luxurious escape, or a simple weekend break close to home, I bring first-hand insight and boundless enthusiasm to every holiday I help create.I offer a bespoke travel service, expertly tailored to your unique needs and wishes, with meticulous attention to detail and a genuine personal touch.

Planning a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. With years of experience in the travel industry and access to an extensive network of over 2000 travel counsellors worldwide, I am here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach retreat, an adventurous safari, or an unforgettable city break, I have the insider knowledge to make it happen seamlessly.Traveling to exotic destinations can come with its own set of challenges and navigating travel logistics can be complex. You might be surprised by some of the details that can make or break a trip. Did you know that: In countries like Italy and France, hotel rooms often don’t include tea and coffee facilities as standard? Or that many hotels in the Hawaii charge resort fees payable upon arrival, something most people aren’t aware of when booking online? In Botswana, for example, many safari camps have private landing strips that aren’t listed on online booking sites, making it difficult to arrange flights without expert help. In Dubai, hotels often expect children to share beds with their parents unless an additional roll-away bed is requested in advance. And if you’re heading to South Africa for a safari, there are specific clothing restrictions to ensure you don’t disturb the wildlife. Long layovers can be an opportunity rather than an inconvenience—airports like Singapore Changi and Istanbul offer free city tours for transit passengers, a perk that many travellers are unaware of.These are the kinds of insights that make all the difference—and why having a travel expert by your side is invaluable.For those seeking unique experiences, I can help you discover unforgettable moments you might not find in a standard guidebook. Imagine waking up in Cappadocia and watching hot air balloons drift by from your terrace at sunrise. Or enjoying breakfast in Kenya while giraffes poke their heads through the windows to say hello. Perhaps you’d like to arrive in New York and take a seven minute helicopter transfer straight to Manhattan, buzzing past the Statue of Liberty? These are the kinds of experiences that turn a holiday into a lifelong memory.When you book with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will take care of every detail. From checking you in and arranging restaurant reservations to organising private tours and ensuring you have a point of contact during your trip, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I only recommend destinations and experiences that meet my own high standards, ensuring that every trip I plan is one I would take myself. And if I haven’t experienced a destination personally, I go the extra mile to conduct thorough research, ensuring it fits your needs perfectly.My clients return time and time again, and I treat every holiday like it’s their dream come true. Whether you have a clear idea of where you want to go or are looking for inspiration, I am here to take the stress out of planning and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.Life is short and the world is wide. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch to plan your next adventure.

Hi, my name is Heather and I live in Standish, Wigan with my husband and our two children. I’m an independent travel consultant, creating bespoke itineraries to dream destinations. I have over 18 years’ experience working in the travel industry as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, a career which afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. Having a young family and a husband working overseas, unfortunately put an end to my globe-trotting career, however I have recently put my travel knowledge and experience towards my business as a travel counsellor, allowing me to plan and organise your holiday at a time that suits you. Throughout my career in the travel industry, I would always take pride in providing outstanding customer service with acute attention to detail to ensure my customers always received a unique experience. This mindset is at the very heart of my business. I have travelled extensively with my work and also with family and friends from exploring destinations such as Borneo, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean and Canada to the bright lights of New York, Las Vegas and Paris. I visit Dubai frequently and love to ski in the French alps as often as I can. My children adore all things Disney and Universal which is where we have spent numerous family holidays. Last year we extended our Floridian trip with a road trip to the Florida keys and Miami. Last year, I was fortunate enough to tick off a big bucket list trip on board the world famous Orient Express, travelling in opulent style from Venice to Paris was truly the trip of a lifetime. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a tailor made travel concierge service to my clients utilising first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, providing both value and peace of mind for the holiday you want. I am entirely self-employed which permits me to be available when my clients need me. Whether that’s in the evening or over the weekend and you will never have to communicate with a chat bot or a call centre, I will be there for you every step of the way, from planning your trip to answering any queries you may have along the way. I can arrange bespoke multi-destination itineraries, car hire, lounge passes, attraction tickets and much, much more. All that’s left for you to do is pack your case! Being a member of the Travel Counsellor family means I have connections to hundreds of suppliers including all major tour operators as well as smaller independent suppliers which can’t be booked online. Having the backing of Travel Counsellors also means all holidays are 100% ATOL protected, clients have 24 hour access to a support team should any unexpected problems happen in resort and all payments are kept in trust until you return from your holiday. For me, creating your perfect itinerary is more than just booking a holiday, its creating memories and experiences for you and you loved ones to cherish for a lifetime. So whether you’re looking to book a city break, a road trip or something completely off the beaten track, contact me today. It will be my pleasure to make your dream holiday a reality. I look forward to talking with you soon. Heather

Australia, New Zealand, the Caribbean, Singapore, Hong Kong, America, Mexico, much of Europe and many more destinations feature on my list of visited countries.As your personal Travel Counsellor I can help make your dreams come true by completing all the research and arrangements for you. A simple telephone call, Facebook message or email from you to discuss your needs is all it takes.

This is exactly why I offer the flexibility of evening and weekend accessibility at a time to suit you…and I can guarantee that it will always be me on the end of the line (my own holidays excepted!)

Welcome to my travel page!Hi, my name is Hannah, and I live just outside of Marlborough in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside. My wanderlust for travel started at 19, with an eye-opening trip with friends to India, Nepal and Thailand. For me, travel is a way to truly come alive: to step outside the everyday and into something extraordinary. Every journey is a chance to create stories that stay with you forever, and this sense of wonder continues to fuel my passion for exploring the world.Some of my most meaningful adventures have been shared with those closest to me: family and friends who transformed each journey into something truly unforgettable. Among my favourite travel memories are trips to Australia, Brazil, the US, St Lucia, the Maldives, and—of course—my honeymoon in the stunning Seychelles. A recent family holiday in Kenya - a perfect mix of safari and beach - was one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments that brought us all closer together. It’s experiences like these that remind me just how transformational travel can be.After years working in live event production, where I specialised in planning, problem-solving, and creating memorable shows, I decided to turn my passion for travel into my profession. Through extensive training with the Travel Counsellors academy, I’ve gained industry-leading knowledge and tools to launch my own travel business, now specialising in music and entertainment travel as well as premium experiences for individuals, couples, and families.Drawing on my background in live events and music, I truly understand the fast-paced, detail-driven world of touring, performances, and productions. I’m proud to collaborate with expert Travel Counsellors who bring over 20 years of music travel experience, allowing me to deliver seamless, stress-free itineraries for artists, crews, agents, and event professionals. From complex group logistics and last-minute changes to VIP extras and personal attention, you’ll always have a calm, creative partner by your side.Alongside music and entertainment travel, I craft highly personalised holidays. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing beach escape, an unforgettable family adventure, a romantic honeymoon, an empowering solo journey, a luxurious cruise, or a thrilling ski trip - I will create your perfect escape.What sets me apart? It’s the genuine care and personal attention I give to every client. I take the time to understand your interests, preferences, and travel style, so your journey is truly yours. And it’s the extra touches - like airport parking, lounge access, and smooth check-in - that help make your travels as effortless as possible.Booking with a Travel Counsellor means ongoing support every step of the way. We offer complete financial protection and 24/7 assistance whenever you need it, so you can travel with complete peace of mind.Your journey deserves more than just a booking, it deserves thoughtful planning, genuine care, and a personal touch.

Hello and welcome to my website, I’m so pleased you've landed here! I am a personal Travel Counsellor based in Beaconsfield where I've lived with my husband, and Percy our Border Terrier for the last 6 years. After falling in love with Beaconsfield when we first visited we are now very happy to call it home. I have always been passionate about travel so I feel very lucky to have been able to turn my passion into a career. I have been in the travel industry now for 12+ years specialising in creating incredible tailor-made adventures for my clients. Whether you are looking for a quick city break in Europe, a luxury safari in South Africa, a romantic honeymoon in the Maldives, an action packed overland trip across Asia, an exotic beach holiday or a twelve month round the world adventure I can create the perfect bespoke escape for you using my own travel expertise and extensive destination knowledge. I am a certified Australia and New Zealand specialist, an expert in overland travel in Asia, Africa and South America and I have attended a travel academy in South Africa.My love of travel became a passion when I first took a gap year and travelled via Asia to both Australia and New Zealand. After this I had well and truly caught the travel bug and have now been lucky enough to experience over 60 countries and counting – everywhere from Jordan to the Cook Islands. I’m often asked which destination has been my favourite but it’s too hard to choose so here are my top 5 stand out moments so far: Paragliding over Rio de Janeiro, exploring beautiful walking trails in Canada, snorkelling with tropical fish on coral reefs in the Maldives, hiking on the Fox Glacier in New Zealand, and spotting tigers in Ranthambore National Park, India. Here at Travel Counsellors we are famous for our personal service and the care we show for our clients and their trips which is one of the many reasons why I love running my own travel business alongside this organisation - we also offer the best financial protection in the industry.Throughout the planning and booking process I will be your personal travel expert on hand to guide you and ensure everything is taken care of in the lead up to your trip and whilst you are away. As I am running my own personal business from home I am flexible and can work around you - whether you’d like to chat about your plans over the phone or meet for a coffee I’m here to ensure your entire experience is second to none. I am completely independent so my advice and recommendations come without compromise and I am always honest about what I think will work best for you as my client.

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.

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

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!

My passion lies in creating tailor-made travel experiences that go beyond expectations - journeys that inspire you, your friends, and your family to see the world in new and unforgettable ways.My love for travel began at an early age, exploring my beautiful home country of New Zealand with my family, and has continued throughout my life travelling with friends and family. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively across Australasia, the USA and Canada, South Africa, Asia, Europe, and the UK. My experiences have included independent travel, adventure travel, self-drives, and cruises, each one deepening my appreciation for the world and the memories it offers.That early passion for discovering the world led me to build a career in the travel industry, where I’ve spent the past 30 years working in New Zealand, Ireland, and the UK. Throughout my career, I’ve had the pleasure of helping clients craft unforgettable itineraries, offering destination advice drawn from personal experience, and providing thoughtful recommendations tailored to their individual preferences.For me, a holiday doesn’t end when you arrive back home. It becomes a collection of core memories and life experiences that stay with you long after the suitcase is unpacked. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxing escape, an adventurous expedition, or a cultural discovery, I’m here to ensure every detail is taken care of, so your only job is to enjoy every moment.Let’s start planning your next unforgettable journey.

The twins had their first holiday abroad there in 2024 - it was such a special moment to introduce them to all of our friends there. Thessaloniki in Greece is a special city for us as its where we did VF for our miracle twins and its a wonderful place vibrant and the food scene is excellent. Italy holds a special place in my heart, especially Sorrento, where my Nanna is from. I also have adored city breaks with Jon — Paris, Prague, Munich, Cologne, Rome, Athens, Madrid, Valencia, and Barcelona are just a few of our favourites.

Hi I’m Sarah, Thank you for visiting my website. I live in Grove, in Oxfordshire with my Husband and 3 children. I have always loved to travel and enjoyed many holidays both in the UK and abroad. I have visited several parts of the world from the Caribbean through to Europe. I’ve enjoyed city breaks, have experienced cruising and very recently thoroughly enjoyed my trip of a lifetime by taking my children to Disneyland in Florida. However, there is still plenty of the world left for me to discover.I’ve worked in travel for almost 5 years, up until recently in a store.

Hi, I’m Anthony Macrae, your personal Travel Counsellor. Travel has been a lifelong passion of mine — not just as a career, but as a way of life. I grew up in Zimbabwe and spent many years living in South Africa, where my love for adventure and discovery truly began. From exploring the wild beauty of Africa to sailing across the world’s oceans, I’ve always been captivated by the magic of travel and the moments it creates.My official career in travel began in 2012, and since then I’ve been fortunate to help clients turn their dream holidays into reality. While I have a broad passion for global travel and can assist with any destination, my true specialisms lie in Africa safaris and worldwide cruising. I combine in-depth destination knowledge with a genuine love for creating travel experiences that go far beyond the ordinary.What truly drives me is the opportunity to get to know my clients personally — understanding what inspires them, what excites them, and what will make their experience truly unforgettable. Every itinerary I create is tailored with care, designed to exceed expectations and deliver memories that last a lifetime.Outside of travel, I’m a proud family man who loves spending time with my wife and our two beautiful daughters. They’re my biggest inspiration and remind me every day how special it is to make lasting memories together — something I always strive to bring to the journeys I plan for my clients.Whether you’re looking to witness the Great Migration, unwind on a secluded island, or set sail on an extraordinary voyage, I’ll be with you every step of the way — offering expert advice, personal recommendations, and support you can count on.Let’s create a journey that’s uniquely yours

Hi, my name is Natalie, and I am your local travel counsellor based in Glasgow, where I live with my partner Scott, daughter Zoe, and the wonderful Daisy dog. My travel journey started at age 18, when I went to work in Mallorca and fell in love with the island as a whole. I then went on to live in Los Angeles for a few years, then later went travelling around Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, ending up in Australia, where I lived and worked for just over a year before heading to New Zealand. I have been living in sunny Glasgow for many years now, and since having Zoe, my travels have been more family-friendly holidays around Europe to Spain, Greece, Portugal, and Turkey, along with cruising the Mexican Riviera, so you can say that I am fairly knowledgeable in different areas and no stranger to overseas adventures. I absolutely love anything associated with travel and would be delighted to assist you in your travel plans with whatever takes your fancy, from a city break to a cruise around the Caribbean or a tailor-made multi-centre trip. Leave the stress behind and let me research every detail to make your holiday perfect! I don't work set hours, so please feel free to call me whenever it is convenient for you! Nothing is too much trouble, and I will be here for you 24/7 should you need me. All holidays booked with me are 100% financially protected, meaning you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your money is safe. I really look forward to hearing from you and bringing your travel plans to life.
