Hi, I'm Collette, and as your Travel Counsellor, I can help with any travel plans you have. I have been in the industry for over 43 years. I started out in a tour operator in London, then 18 years with a high street agency before I took the plunge and became self employed 9 years ago. I have had the pleasure of helping so many clients find their dream holiday and love to hear all about it on their return.I have been lucky enough to travel to some wonderful destinations for example India’s Golden Triangle, California taking in the beautiful coastline and Yosemite, Las Vegas, Boston, New York, Washington DC, New Orleans and all over Florida including the Keys and Gulf Coast and everything Disney! I have visited Antigua, St Kitts & Nevis, The Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean and travelled extensively through Europe, including a visit to Santa in Lapland. I have also been able to take some ocean cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and also cruised from Iceland to Denmark. I've just recently returned from an Artic expedition cruise around Norway with Hurtigruten which was amazing! I love to do river cruises as well in Europe - though the Nile is booked for 2026! I really enjoyed the Christmas market river cruises and have just returned from a Douro sailing. I love to travel by train and Canada is high on my bucket list having visited Vancouver, Toronto and Niagara Falls I plan to visit more of this beautiful country in the future.These experiences combined with being an independent Travel Counsellor, where I have access to hundreds of different suppliers and DMCs help me to source the best options to suit your individual requirements and budget and to bring those dreams alive! Of course, for your peace of mind everything is financially protected by the Travel Counsellors’ Financial Trust and ATOL.I love my job and I pride myself on my customer service (take a look at my clients feedback) and attention to detail, taking care of all my clients’ travel needs from start to finish. So whether you are looking to take a cruise, want a last-minute city break, ski trip, a round the world bespoke itinerary, safari, beach holiday or a house in the UK - please get in touch either by phone or email and let me take the stress out of organising your dream holiday. I look forward to hearing from you .Best Wishes

Hi. I'm Joel. I have one ambition: Holidays don't have to be dreams, they can be a reality. My experiences began early. My mother was a travel agent for both business and leisure, before deciding to create her own travel business in the 1980s. So you could say, I grew up in travel and that travel is in my DNA.Though I did veer off and did a degree in Law with the Open University, this was a great experience and one which has guided me well in the legalities of the package travel regulations. I decided travel is where I want to be, and have over the last 20+ years worked for my many business and leisure travel operators and you could say I'm now carrying on in my mother's footsteps. 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 decided to branch out and become an independent travel expert with Travel Counsellors and put the knowledge I have to use with helping build memories for all my clients.?So if you are looking for a holiday dream, then allow me as your Travel Counsellor to make these into a reality.Thanks-Joel

Firstly, congratulations for landing safely on my page, which means one of two things, you misspelt ''Kuoni Kettering" in Google, or you’re very serious about your holidays and you're looking for travel done differently. If it's the former, then there isn't one in Kettering (see I'm helping already). If it's the latter, then let's grab a coffee and make a start... It’s a travel service, travel agency type-thingy but it’s different? Essentially yes, it's about fantastic personal service. Which means you can contact me at any time and you'll always get me. It means that I remember that last year you wanted to go to Borneo but your eldest broke his leg on the stupid skateboard that you told your mother she shouldn't buy him for Christmas. I remember that you prefer American Airlines business to BA... because of the ice cream sundaes... Right, well that's all good then. But it's not really just me looking after you and the two of us chatting endlessly on WhatsApp over which is the nicest bit of Bali when I should actually be getting my son ready for school. I'm in cahoots with the multi-award winning Travel Counsellors, a company that provides a global network of travel goodness (GNTG, it's a thing, promise) that means you and I can just relax and get back to discussing Disney Dining packages while they sit quietly in the background, doing what they do. They use their financial muscle so that I can offer you incredible deals, and absolutely guarantee every penny you spend through their financial trust. And as we debate why some of the lounges at Dubai airport really are so much better than others, they’re doing exciting things like the ATOL bonding, and making sure there’s always someone on the end of the phone for you if you need it. No matter what the time, or the time zone. You don’t do ‘normal’ holidays then? I most certainly do but I suppose in essence what I do is make normal trips amazing! That Virgin South Africa trip where you liked everything except day 6 of the itinerary? Then I'll break the whole thing down for you and we'll get rid of 'day at leisure', build in a Blue Safari and repackage it all up for you. I've got access to all the major travel suppliers and can add all the extras too, so the car that means you can get you to Gatwick while you finish the presentation you've been procrastinating over for 3 weeks, or the lounge that takes you closer to gin, and further from the airport Frankie and Benny's. We’ve got this far then, and you’re probably thinking why me? Not in the unexpected-item-in-the-bagging-area-for-the-fourth-time-kinda way, but in the who-is-this-woman-who’s-made-me-a-fake-coffee-and-rambled-on-about-holidays-for-three-paragraphs-kinda-way. I’m Beth (Hi!) Without giving too much away, I started my career in travel back when everyone thought Let Loose were the new NKOTB. Travel makes me me, and I’ve visited dozens of countries across five continents. Bluntly it’s an obsession I bore my husband with every evening. So if it can’t be me experiencing what it’s like to peer over the grand canyon, or feel the bounce of the seaplane skimming the azure that surrounds my paradise Maldivian island then I’ll do all in my power to make it feel for you like it did for me. So, with coffee dwindling and muffin finished (there was a muffin?!), I hope I've given you a sense of what travel done differently with me and with Travel Counsellors can mean.PS: You can contact me about literally any kind of trip, that honeymoon you’re finally planning (can’t believe he took so long to ask you!), that annual cruise around the Caribbean (I’m a bit of a cruise expert/bore to be honest – love a cruise), a romantic weekend getaway to New York, that long imagined Canada road trip, or just a beach to plonk yourself on (anywhere) for two weeks in the Summer.Maybe worth saying as well, there is no fee for my service. The many many travel suppliers I use sort me out, which is why I had a coffee AND a muffin!

I have a passion for travel and love discussing the variety of destinations on offer and exploring ways to reach them. Being unbiased and independent also allows me to source and recommend less well-known locations, places to stay and things to do.I have been fortunate enough to enjoy many travel experiences and styles. From backpacking to luxury beach holidays, short city breaks to longer group tours, motorhome trips to car fly drives, safaris to mountain climbing, cruises to train journeys.

However, as I was constantly organising my own as well as friends’ holidays, it was natural that my wanderlust would lead me to work in travel. I like keeping fit by cycling, running and taking scenic walks. I enjoy watching rugby, cricket and football.

Hello and thank you for visiting my Travel Counsellors web page. As you’re reading this page, you’d like to know how I can help you? Do you love to travel, but haven’t got either the time or inclination to research? That’s only part of the free service I provide, I’ll create your holiday according to your requirements, however simple or complex you would like. With access to thousands of hotels, airlines, excursions, airport parking and insurance I’m literally a one stop travel shop – all at a time to suit you and from the comfort of your own home.Love the research, but can’t be sure whether the company you’re using online is legitimate? I offer 100% financial protection – your money is secure and will only be used for your holiday.What if things go wrong before you travel or while you’re away, would you like someone to speak to; someone who will act in your best interests? Recent events have reinforced the need to use an experienced travel provider. I promise I will always be available for you to speak to, right up until the moment you return from your holiday.My decision to become a Travel Counsellor was born from a love of travel and a desire to help others realise their travel dreams. I’m passionate about good customer service – something which is sadly lacking in this transaction led online environment. I provide my customers with a personal service; they only ever deal with me and I’m delighted I have some wonderful customers I now call friends.My love of travel goes back a long way; sparked by my first holiday abroad, a two-week Mediterranean cruise with school. As soon as I could I went to work for an airline – only leaving to bring up my two, now grown up, children. They both had their first holiday abroad when they were 3 months old and still love to travel. When the children were younger, we had lots of family trips to Europe (particularly Germany) and USA. More recently my husband and I have had some real ‘bucket list’ holidays – visiting Morocco, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Hong Kong and Australia. We’re still busy planning more trips, but the list just gets longer!If you’re considering your next holiday why not get in touch for a chat – I promise you won’t regret it.

Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page – let me introduce myself. My name is Clare and I live in Cheadle Hulme, a small village in South Manchester with my husband, daughter and new addition a lively Springer Spaniel.I have worked in the Travel Industry for almost 20 years in both Leisure and Corporate and honestly cannot imagine working in another industry. I started as a Leisure Travel Consultant for a large high street chain which specialised in Tailor-Made itineraries but I soon realised that no matter where the dream I wanted to be the one to make it come true. This could be a UK Staycation, a weekend city break, annual week or two in the sun or a bucket list dream trip. I excelled in building long trusting relationships with my clients that saw them return again and again.I moved over to Corporate Travel following the birth of my daughter and used those tools of building relationships with my clients to ensure long lasting partnerships. There is no trip small or large or component of the trip that I cannot organise for your business.I am excited to be part of the Travel Counsellors family as this will enable me to offer a truly flexible and independent service. I understand that not all travel can be organised during the typical 9-5 so I am her 24/7 365 days a year. Travel is still my addiction and I feel blessed to have visited so many wonderful countries across the globe. I am currently at 42 countries and try to add a new one each year. I often get asked where is my favourite place and whilst it is difficult New Zealand certainly is a stand out country and it is my aim to get back there with my family one day.With my extensive experience and destination knowledge I look forward to working with you to give you the best Travel Experience.

If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true.

Our free time with our loved ones is precious, and we need to get it right.During exam revision at university, I spent every lunch break in the local travel shop, browsing the magazines and dreaming of where I would go when I had finished. I completed my degree, travelled for a year, and qualified as an accountant, working in London. But what started as a way to escape my studies grew into a passion for researching and planning travel. As a result, I took extensive training in the Travel Counsellor Academy, and started my own independent travel business in May 2016.I take time to get to know my clients, their travel dreams and their absolute must-haves. I listen to the details of what works for them and what needs to be avoided. I genuinely care that they have the best holidays possible, and that the planning process is as smooth and as fun as it can be.I can help you with travel plans for all worldwide destinations, and all holiday styles. I have travelled extensively, and with great variety, staying in $4 guesthouses in Phnom Penh, and 5* resorts in St Lucia. In 2016 I returned from four years living in Barbados, so I would consider myself an expert on this location, and the surrounding islands. I love to attend and participate in sporting and musical events as I travel. I’ve golfed in Patagonia, dived with sharks in Saba, partied at Coachella festival, and cheered on the Heat in Miami. Not that you need an excuse, but if you want to travel for a specific interest, I look forward to hearing all about it, and building your holidays accordingly.My hours are flexible and I can discuss your travel requirements at a time that suits you, including weekends and evenings. Location permitting (I am based in Sevenoaks), I am happy to meet you face-to-face, or to communicate by skype, email or phone. It’s your choice; my aim is to make your travel planning as stress-free as possible.Whatever your travel requirements, please get in touch. You’ll be talking to someone who listens, who cares, and who can make it happen.“Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” - Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

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. The last 2 years have been challenging but also incredibly encouraging helping customers throughout this period and am very proud to belong to a wonderful organisation now voted by Martin Lewis as the best agency in UK dealing with refunds and Covid issues.What is more, I am also part of our global network of experienced Travel Counsellors who are readily at hand to provide the very latest destination advice and incomparable local knowledge: from that ‘go to’ restaurant, to those special little places not so widely known to the mainstream tourist market. Whatever your reason for travel, my aim is to provide you with an exceptional experience.My own favourite destinations include the glittering slopes and après-ski glamour of Zermatt, the sparkling Amalfi Coast and the warm, soothing beaches of Barbados. 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.

Whether you are planning a chic city break, family getaway, honeymoon escape or once in a lifetime adventure I am here to make the whole experience seamless.I pride myself on offering genuine advice you can trust every time. No matter how big or small, I always manage your trip with the same attention to detail as I would my own. Through the years I have built up a 'little black book' of hotel, supplier and airline connections, all my contacts are invaluable when offering my clients that extra VIP touch or requesting that room with the best view.I have been a travel agent for over 19 years, but my real passion for travel started as a child. Before my five siblings and I were born, my parents travelled extensively. I can remember sitting for hours flicking through the enormous photo albums from their travels throughout Europe and on to Asia. Maybe it was the glamour of the 70s VW Camper set into the Italian Alps, or my parents in their matching Ray-Ban’s at the top of the Great Wall... either way, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to travel the world myself!I joined the industry as an apprentice in a high street Thomas Cook store in Sussex. Within two years I was working in their City of London flagship store where I won a Customer Service Award. After five years at Thomas Cook I took the leap into an independent leisure and business travel agency in Blackfriars - they were later acquired by an American travel management company.

I'm originally from Sheffield, and married with two daughters. I have over 24 years of travel experience, 13 with a high street travel agent, and will only give you my honest, best advice.I have first-hand knowledge of many exciting destinations and still have many more to see. I have experience of European beaches, especially those throughout Spain, the Canaries and Turkey. I've cruised Mexico, the West Med and Adriatic. I have travelled to the West and East coasts of America - and absolutely love Florida (I can give you the best tips!)I've been to Australia, visited Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne, so much to see and do, once returning via Fiji. I have been skiing in Canada, visiting Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise and Vancouver. I have travelled through Italy by rail - visiting Venice, Florence and Rome - and driven the Amalfi Coast ,Sorrento, an absolute must! I have also been to many of the Caribbean islands. Even a Sound of Music bicycle tour in Salzburg, essential for any film fan. In February this year i was lucky enough to visit India, travelling through northern India to see Shimla, Dharamshala, and the ceremony of the guards between India and Pakistan. We flew down to Jaipur, then onto Ranthambore to see the Tigers then onto the beautiful Taj Mahal. This year brings a few lovely trips , Lake Garda, River cruise along the Rhine, Malta , Vienna and Zurich...with an overnight train, this will be interesting. I love football, and have supported Sheffield United for many years, unfortunately relegated this season, lets see what the 24/25 season brings. Bramall Lane is my second home. My bucket list included Hong Kong which I visited eight years ago. It was fabulous and lived up to my expectations.

HelloAllow me to introduce myself, I’m Vicky Harrison-Storey. It’s a privilege to welcome you to my personal web page at Travel Counsellors. I live in Cleckheaton a bustling little town in West Yorkshire, with my husband Lee and daughter Phoebe.I have had a passion for travel for as long as I can remember, as a child we travelled on many family holidays overseas. My mother often reminds me I loved to inspect all the hotels, checking out the rooms and facilities and compared them to previous hotels. I guess I was a hotel inspector in the making.After leaving school over 38 years ago I embarked upon my travel career. I studied Travel and Tourism for 2 years at degree level and started my first job working as a Saturday girl in a busy independent travel outlet in Leeds city centre. Since then I have worked in various roles, including overseas representation. My previous role was the Manager of the Luxury Leisure Travel Department at a well know independent corporate travel company where I did both corporate and tailor made leisure travel for my clients for over 26 years. Arranging anything from package holidays to private Jet charter. I started my own business with Travel Counsellors in 2018 and I have loved every minute.

Your holidays should always be amazing, not average or ok. I appreciate that most people just don’t have enough time spare in order to guarantee this by putting the work in themselves. As holidays are so precious they should always be perfect. I’m here to help ensure that this is a reality for you. My goal is to provide you the best customer service in delivering your perfect travel experience, whether that be a bespoke tailor-made escape or a package holiday in Europe: boutique hotels, Amazon adventures, 6* cruises, exclusive offers, close up wildlife encounters, or everything rolled into one! Travelling is a wonderful experience; I have toured cities, mountains and beaches across France, Spain and Italy, sampling food and wine along the way. We’ve been lucky enough to see elephants in South Africa, turtles in Tobago and Lightening McQueen at Euro Disney! Currently on my bucket list are visiting Polar bears in Canada, a summer family cruise, a snowy break in a castle in Scotland and a city break in Dubai. If you’ve got any ideas to share with me, I’d love to chat! I have long been obsessed with discovering foodie finds, so I can usually recommend a restaurant to anyone who is planning a trip, wherever you may be going. I’ve got a great recommendation for a fantastic Italian place in New York which was in Ugly Betty. In Toulouse I’d suggest going to an ex French international rugby player’s fab restaurant. In Madrid there’s a buzzing tapas market which is amazing. There’s a fantastic place in Krakow which serves Michelin food at pub prices, my list of recommendations goes on. I love adding to my list with my own experiences and suggestions from friends. Hopefully you won’t need to test me, but I do come into my own when problems arise. I’ve helped friends, family and customers to get out of some tricky situations all over the world! This includes helping my customers when: trouble began in Syria, a credit card didn’t work in Sydney, mountain rescuers were needed in France, and when the nanny of one of my customer’s phoned in sick while she was skiing. I understand that travel is important, it could be the two weeks you’ve looked forward to all year, it’s the trip you deserve after a career at the grindstone, it’s your honeymoon, and it’s your first break away from the kids. Whatever your trip, it’s important to me to get it right.

Hello and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Sandra and I live in Stamford, a stunningly beautiful and vibrant market town in south Lincolnshire.As a Travel Counsellor I’m here to take away the stress of organising your holiday. I’ve never been a 9 to 5 person so feel free to contact me when it suits you - I’ll work with you to fully understand what you want from your trip and take care of every detail from start to finish, so that you can focus on the other important things in your life and start your holiday relaxed.Travel has been my life, from my early days working on a campsite in France, through living and working in Spain, Greece, Malta, India and Cuba to finally being UK based, travelling frequently and focusing on giving customers the best holiday ever in places as diverse as Las Vegas, Bali and Kenya, as well as the more familiar European holiday resorts. Over the years I’ve organised some fantastic bespoke getaways for myself and others including celebratory weekends in the English countryside for 20+ people, exploring the whole length of Vietnam and a once in a lifetime private tour around Namibia. It was therefore a logical step to become a Travel Counsellor and to share my knowledge and experience to help others have holidays that are just as amazing.The hardest question for me is ‘what’s my favourite destination?’ as I’ve visited over 70 countries and each has its own special charms. You can read more in my blogs but some of the most memorable moments of my travels have been micro lighting over the Victoria Falls, swimming with whale sharks in Mexico, seeing the stars in the vastness of the Kalahari and most recently taking a truly incredible and life affirming cruise in Antarctica.You can trust me to find the trip that’s right for you, whether that’s a multi generational family holiday, a luxury cruise, a romantic city break to pop the question, the ultimate honeymoon or a blow the budget round the world trip. Let me know your bucket list destinations and I’ll find the best way to realise those dreams. And if all you want is to chill on the beach then I can arrange that too.In the words of St Augustine, ‘the world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page’. Get in touch and let me plan your next travel chapter!

My name is Natasha. I worked for Thomas Cook for 6 years before becoming a Travel Counsellor, giving me over 11 years experience. I have also been really lucky to have done a lot of travelling with my husband Martin too! There are now 3 of us in the Butler household. Myself and Martin, and Charlie we also have 26 cows that really do like to have their ears scratched. Martin and I have travelled most of Europe, Egypt, Tunisia, Turkey and then some longer ones like the USA, Caribbean, and Canada. So far I have two favourite destinations – they are a bit chalk and cheese though – Mexico and Florida! They both amazed me for very different reasons but the service, culture and standards were phenomenal! Mexico offers the heritage, people and beaches that seem to come from dreams. Florida was like a return to childhood, meeting the Disney characters, watching the amazing fireworks displays and chilling out in what can only be described as brilliant facilities at Disney’s onsite hotels. I don’t tend to go to the same place twice, but I would go to both of these several times! Though I still have many more places to visit, I am determined to travel the world. I am a firm believer that a holiday can solve anything, especially when you find the perfect one! I will make sure that every holiday you book will be done with the highest level of personalised service, tailored to you and your requirements. I will also be able to do this at a time that suits you over email, phone or even catching up for a coffee. I can’t wait to help you get your holiday arranged and help you make some memories. 2021: Iceland 2022: Tenerife + Tunisia 2023: Dominican Republic + Cyprus

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

Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 36 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. As the world opens up to travel again, regulations can change at the last minute. I am here to guide and advise my clients and take action in their best interests. My clients appreciate the care and attention I give to their travel plans, and Travel Counsellors offers insurance that will cover covid related claims.I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable.

In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael

Welcome! My name is Hannah, I love to travel and I love to help you travel too!Since a young age, I have been fortunate to travel many places and experience many different holiday types. My passion and love for travel is now apparent in my children and we are always planning and discussing our next get away. In the last few years, we have been lucky enough to have some amazing trips, in particular Lapland, Iceland, African Safari Adventure and our first taste of Asia. This summer we enjoyed some time in Devon and our annual trip to France. If you know me, you’ll know every year I say it’s the last and then off we go again! Secretly, we actually love it! It’s easy as we travel by ferry and even Lenny our Lab comes along! This year we went to Normandy for the first week and then travelled down to the Loire Valley for our second week. We’ve been to both areas before; Normandy is rich in its history and very interesting with the beaches and museums. The Loire Valley, renowned for its Chateaux’s, beautiful scenery and Rose Wine is a favourite of ours. Our Italian Adventure in October which saw us exploring Pisa, Florence, Lucca, and Siena and then a train down to Rome. We had an amazing time, fabulous food and locals and was great to fit so much in.This year we have Thailand to look forward to, we are visiting the North this time, rich in culture and traditions we're hoping to see another side of Thailand. Then in the summer the girls and I are off on our first cruise around Scandinavia! I've enjoyed visiting many cruise ships over the last couple of years and did cruise many moons ago but so much has changed, we are very much looking forward to it.I absolutely love hearing from you and helping you create wonderful memories. I truly care about your holiday, I treat it like my own; even down to producing local guides, recommending trips, local information, and restaurants if that is what you’d like.

Welcome - it's lovely to have you here!I'm Ruth and I offer a truly personalised travel service. I craft amazing adventures and epic experiences creating moments that truly matter for you and your family! First a little about me. I’m married to Roland and have 3 fabulous lads Jake, Mac and Gus and a wee white Pomeranian called Martha. I’d travelled a fair bit as a child including living and going to school in Saudi Arabia. But it was during my student days on a trip to Australia and Indonesia when my passion for travel was well and truly ignited. I remember then (over 30 years ago) keeping a travel journal and writing about my experiences; from diving in the Whitsundays on the Great Barrier Reef to camping on Fraser Island and ambling through the rice terraces of Bali. It's fair to say I am a travel addict! If I’m not actually travelling (I have over 30 years experience of booking my own travel), then I’m usually talking about it (love recommending locations to others), writing about it (you will see some of my blogs on this page) or planning my next adventure. I’m blessed to have seen a lot of the world already - no fewer than 50 countries - some visited many times over. This means I know what makes a fantastic trip. Having spent over half my life as a government lawyer I am also a stickler for detail which means your holiday will be planned and booked to perfection with nothing left to chance.So why would you book your next escape with me? Well, firstly I'm part of multi award winning Travel Counsellors, a global company with industry leading technology, 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and who are partnered only with trusted suppliers. Travel Counsellors has won numerous awards including Best National Travel Retailer and the Queen's Award for Enterprise. With our MyTC App you can have all your quotes and bookings in one place and make easy payments when it suits you as well as receive alerts if for example your flight is delayed.Secondly, booking with me is different to booking online or on the high street. Quite simply, I care and every trip I craft is made with you in mind. I get to know you and your preferences and together we create something special. Because with a Travel Counsellor it's personal. I'm here with you every step of the way and available to you 24/7 at a time that suits you - so no more emails disappearing into black holes or being on hold to faceless call centres. Finally, we offer no ifs no buts 100% financial protection with anything you book with us in the event of supplier failure.So let me take the stress away from you. I'm here and I can book the world!Just drop me a message to arrange a call to discuss your next escape.

My name is Meher Oliaji, and I learnt one thing from COVID. Working from home is easy. After more than 30 years running my own travel agency, Karnak Travel in Egham, I now have the support and innovative technology to support my clients while working mainly from home. This has been a new adventure for me, as a Travel Counsellor; still working for myself but now with the support of a large travel agency group behind me.With Travel Counsellors I continue booking with the specialist tour operators my clients have learnt to trust over decades. I can also go on doing what I love: building holiday plans and business trips which exactly suit my clients using flights, hotels, excursions, and activities sourced, negotiated and vetted by Travel Counsellors.My experience includes arranging complex tailormade itineraries and tours to Africa, Asia, Australia and America, but also cruises and stay-still holidays to the Caribbean, Europe, and even Newquay, as well of years of arranging business travel to some fairly obscure places.I’m thorough, careful and I try to ensure my clients won’t have to worry about anything because I’ve thought about everything beforehand.I would love to send all my clients to Seychelles, the most beautiful country in the world. But the truth is, since the world’s most perfect beaches were my childhood playground, my own trips have been less relaxing. I loved the grandeur of the Canadian Rockies, the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti, the Great Wall of China, the ridiculously ornate interior of St Petersburg’s Hermitage. And I’ve wanted, since I visited 30 years ago, to return to Samarkand, now in a country that didn’t even exist then. Strangely, since my travel agency was named Karnak Travel, I have never been to Egypt.I’m quite a fan of group tours, which make seeing a lot really easy, but since my own first exhausting tour aged 19, called “8 Countries in 10 days” I’ve known the benefits of building my own trips and I’ve enjoyed recommending, planning, and booking for other people too. I’m hoping to go on doing that for my past clients and many future ones for a long time to come.

My name is James Comrie, I have been in the travel industry since 1983, so this year I am celebrating 37 years in the travel industry. When I started in 1983 until 2003 I worked in an award winning travel agents in Dundee, Perth and Stirling, however by 2000 I realised that this great industry was changing.More and more customers were looking to arrange trips that were not always from a conventional brochure, more customers were realising how easy it was to visit family and friends in far-off destinations like Australia and New Zealand. My expertise was now required to help them in a different way, it was becoming clear to me that relationship building with clients was the way forward. I started to look for a new exciting challenge.I joined Travel Counsellors in 2003, I have just celebrated 17 successful years with this awesome company. Travel Counsellors allows me to run my own business from home but it also has the most amazing support structure in place, so much so that you never ever think you are working alone. During the last 15 years, I have been lucky to visit so many great places: Australia, India, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Oman, New York, Florida, and most countries in Europe.I arrange a lot of cruises for my clients ranging from Mediterranean to Caribbean, as well as ocean and river cruises with many well-known companies including Regent Seven Seas, Scenic River Cruises, Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and P&O.Many of you will know me from my time in Crieff and Dunblane in Scotland, however I now live in Welton, Brough, East Riding of Yorkshire. I still travel to Scotland on a regular basis to look after my many-established clients face to face so I am also available for home or workplace visits where necessary both in Scotland and the East Riding area. When you are thinking of planning your next overseas trip, please get in touch - I am available when most travel agents are closed, you can also contact me any evening or weekend.I look forward to hearing from you to help plan your next adventure.Best Wishes.

I’m your personal travel consultant. I’m here to help you plan those holidays that are so memorable that when you flick back through your photos you think “these are some of my happiest memories". On a recent holiday in Thailand every second sentence that was uttered by my daughter was “THIS IS AMAZING”. The joy of watching my family make the most wonderful memories will stay with me forever. That’s why being a Travel Counsellor is a dream come true. I use my experience and knowledge to help you create these moments for your loved ones (and you, of course). That’s pretty special. I know how overwhelming it can be to plan a holiday. You want it to be perfect. It needs to suit everyone. You might not be sure exactly what it is you want or what’s available or if it’s any good.

My mission is for us to get to know each other so you feel comfortable just picking up the phone or sending me a message anytime you feel the need to escape and you know I will do my utmost to create or find exactly the holiday you are looking for. So why choose me?A little about me…My husband thinks I am annoying because “I have been everywhere”. “Have you been to the Maldives? Have you been to Japan? ‘course you have” with a role of the eyes. Well, no, not exactly….I haven’t been everywhere just yet but I am working on it! It helps that I used to be a scuba diving instructor, an entertainment team member as well as a shore excursions manager on cruise ships for 3 years where I was lucky enough to do one of my 2 epic round the world trips. I also worked for a travel insurance company, a car hire company, a luxury cruise call centre, a well known high street travel agent and a couple of large hotel chains. Now as your personal TC, my travel experience is finally not annoying anymore! This is how I can give you advice, recommendations and put my knowledge and passion to good use. At your service. And this service comes at no extra cost to you. From Svalbard to Antarctica and twice around the world including Australia, New Zealand, the East and West Coast of the USA, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, around South America, the Caribbean as well as South Africa, India, Namibia, China, Japan and a lot of Europe too, I have been very lucky to have travelled or lived in amazing places. All these adventures slowed down when I had my first boy and suddenly, all inclusive holidays and cruises turned into just the thing I dreamt of (and needed!) so I have that kind of first-hand experience too. I am Jill, mum to Sienna, 8, and Enzo, 16, citizens of the world currently living Heybridge near the beautiful village of Maldon in Essex with my husband Leigh, now a retired firefighter and our cockapoo called Bentley. And why Travel Counsellors?With us, it's personal.From our first contact to find out all about your dream holiday to your return, I am with you all the way with 24/7 support wherever you are in the world.With us, it's also peace of mind.The Travel Counsellors Financial Trust provides 100% financial protection on everything you book with us.With us, it’s convenient too.I am available at a time that suit you as I can work from anywhere anytime.

You can then give me a thumbs up, request to book and pay securely through the app, If you are arranging a trip for a group, each of you can get access to the app and make their own payment.

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.

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!

From dream destinations, amazing city breaks, cruises, relaxing sunshine holidays, far east expeditions through to ski trips, I have been on, and love them all. So, a bit about myself, after spending over 10 years over in the IT side of the world working with Travel Companies on their travel systems, travel websites and travel products focussed on smoothing out the ever-complicated holiday customer journey, it is safe to say I know how challenging it can be to sort your own holiday. Trawling through multiple websites, pouring over Tripadvisor reviews, looking endlessly at hotels and holidays, seeing different flights over here and different hotels over there, to then, when you eventually decide on 'the one' and you hover over the all-important ‘Book’ button, you find the price increases putting you right back at square one. Well here I am, I can take all that hard work away, and create amazing holiday experiences for you and the ones you love whilst you sit back and relax. I’ll work with you to understand your travel dreams, wants and needs and then work my magic to explore and find the perfect destination and itinerary just for you ticking all of your boxes and more. So, whether you have a destination, hotel, or tour in mind, or if you are ready to be inspired, let me take care of all your travel needs. Given my own personal travel experiences and industry knowledge, I can support you in any and all destinations and experiences. Whether your ideal holiday is relaxing and re-charging on a beach, exploring a city and all it has to offer with friends, making magical moments with little kids and those big ones, starting married life in style with the most luxurious honeymoon, finally doing the once in a lifetime trip you have been dreaming of, or exploring a little closer to home in the UK, I can arrange every single aspect and take the hassle away for you. My previous IT life still stays with me, meaning I am all about the details, making sure nothing gets missed or overlooked. Whether this a dinner reservation, hotel spa appointment, a visit to the local museum, or advising of the best view spots or must do boat trips, rest assured I can include these into your holiday so all you need to do is just turn up and enjoy. I look forward to building a great relationship with you to create amazing holiday experiences for you, your family, and friends. It’s my passion to understand your WHY for travelling, whether that is relaxation, reconnecting, exploring or finding yourself through travel, I am here for you to ensure wonderful memories are made and you experience what this big wide world has to offer.Lastly, don’t forget these two things, booking with Travel Counsellors means every single part of your holiday is 100% financially protected giving you absolute piece of mind for your holiday, and I am here to support you, from our first conversation all the way through to when you come back …and we discuss where is next on the destination list. I cannot wait to chat more with you, wherever your heart desires to go, I am here to make it happen.

I have also been on most cruise ships. Hello, my name is Michelle Leonard as you can see I really do love travel. I have travelled extensively and can confidently pass on my knowledge to help fulfil your holiday dreams. In 2022 I travelled to Majorca , Morocco , Cyprus to participate in a beautiful Wedding, Malaga City , Chania ( Crete ) Canada visiting Toronto Niagara Falls , Quebec , Montreal and Ottawa and was also very lucky to sail on Regent Seven Seas Voyager with a stay in Rome - what a great year catching up on amended and cancelled trips from the last few years. My favourite place has to be Mauritius - my idea of heaven. Beautiful hotels, beaches, service and standards all in all perfect and a very special destination. I have also been on many cruises both European and in the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal which was a truly amazing experience which I will remember forever. Antigua and Grenada came very close to Mauritius both amazing special destinations. I also love Florida I have been around 15 times so know it very well, I could talk to you about Florida for hours! I became a Personal Travel Counsellor because quite simply I take pride in offering the highest level of personalised customer service to my many clients. I love my job which I think is what has helped me build such a successful business as a Personal Travel Counsellor over the last 20 years. I am proud to be a Travel Counsellor, we offer a great service and huge commitment to our customers and now as a company have a 24 hour duty office so there is always someone there for you as well as myself.I have worked in the travel industry for 39 years now, originally working for two multiples on the high street where I progressed to management levels prior to starting a family. I chose to join Travel Counsellors 20 years ago because they care about their customers, working with state of the art technology and offer fantastic head office support to assist me in my role. I have a huge client base now and most of my customers have become personal friends. They help me by passing my details to their colleagues, friends and family which now means I am busy most of the year and as my children are now 28 and 27 years old and need less attention I have more time though our Grandchildren aged 11 , 4 and 1 do keep me busy. I do love the fact that I can work much more flexible hours to suit my customers' needs as they can contact me at any time of the day or night whichever suits them best whether that be a weekend or an evening.I aim to give the highest possible customer service and to ensure that every travel arrangement meets and better still, exceeds your expectations. Allow me to turn your dream holiday into reality. I really will look after you. The industry changes constantly but a key aspect now in travel is that you are looked after if you need us whilst overseas ....I feel this has brought many clients back to me over the years as there is nothing worse than something going wrong whilst you are away and you have no one to discuss it with, all my clients have my personal mobile number as I do theirs to keep an eye on them whilst they are away.I very much look forward to speaking to you , please feel free to give me a call.

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

Hello, I’m Norman and I’m happily married to Janet and we have a wonderful Golden Retriever Freya.So you may ask, why choose me to arrange your travel plans?To answer that I’d first like to tell you a little bit about why I started working in the travel industry, way back in 1975.As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, having been fortunate to travel extensively with my family to some of the far flung corners of the globe, well before tour operators or even travel packages were conceived. As a 12 year old I would often be found sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, asking hundreds of questions and getting my Junior Jet Club Frequent Flyer log book signed.Sadly due to colour blindness, my dream job could never be realised, but that didn’t fade my love of travel and so in my early twenties I took ownership of a local travel agency; in Wigan, learning the trade from the bottom up.Since that date in 1975 I have been responsible for arranging thousands of holidays and business trips for individuals, couples and families, major corporations, a leading TV company and broadcaster, celebrities and professional sports clubs, including their players, backroom staff and an army of devoted fans. I have been known to charter private jets, trains and dare I mention organizing the travel plans of a major political party during a general election.My clients come from all walks of life; have different expectations and budgets, which I try my utmost to fulfil. From room or seating requests, to the dietary requests of a famous TV chef, I’ve learned that nothing is impossible. Sure I still love to travel; who doesn’t?, but I get enormous satisfaction turning dreams into reality and the feedback I receive helps me keep abreast of the constantly changing world in which we live.So, whether you want a mini break or beach holiday, a river cruise, a Caribbean or round the world cruise, a trip to Antarctica, a safari, or journey on The Rocky Mountaineer or Trans Siberian Express. Do you dream of skiing or snowmobiling, or desire a bespoke multi-centre trip to Australasia or the Far East. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged them all.No trip is too big or too small, so with over 45 years in the travel business, give me a call and experience my experience.Norman
