Hello, I’m Claire, I am here to curate seamless journeys for both your leisure and business travel. I am a Scottish lady based in Belfast with a global outlook and a life long passion for travel and high end service. For you this means I do the time consuming research and booking whilst you get to relax with the reassurance that every detail has been thought through. Before joining Travel Counsellors, I built a career in international marketing, leading global teams and campaigns and hosting corporate events across the world. That experience sharpened my attention to detail and the importance of a VIP service and care, skills I now bring into creating bespoke travel for all my clients.My own personal, family and corporate travels have taken me across the globe ,from Asia, Africa, Canada, the Caribbean (where my grandparents lived on St Lucia- and yes I have been a few times!), the Canaries, Mauritius, Norway (where I lived as a child), and the USA, to countless destinations across Europe, the UK and Ireland. I’ve skied in the Alps, Norway, Canada and the USA, sailed around Europe, climbed many mountains and swam in many seas. These experiences fuel my curiosity and give me a deep appreciation for the memories that travel creates.As a Travel Counsellor, I bring my experience and passion to others. It’s about designing journeys, whether for work or wonder, that are seamless, personal, and full of joy. With the backing of Travel Counsellors’ award-winning expertise, technology, financial protection, and global network, you can feel confident you are in safe hands.Whether you’re looking for a luxury escape, a short trip away, a wellness program, a family adventure, a cruise, a ski holiday, a special celebration, or a business trip handled with meticulous care, I’ll take the time to understand what matters most to you and curate a journey worth remembering and one that inspires many more. I look forward to hearing from you and creating those moments of wonder for you.

My name is Joanne Graham I have over 10 years of travel experience and have been passionate about travel from a very young age. I started working in travel as a children’s representative in Menorca and since then the travel bug took over and I wanted to learn more about the travel industry and to help people plan their dream holidays. I have been lucky enough to be able to travel to some fantastic destinations which I can talk about forever which also helps when recommending the perfect holidays for my customers. One place that I have always dreamed of going to is Thailand and I am constantly looking at all the different things that there are to do here. Over the years I have booked a wide spectrum of holidays and I am as passionate now as I have ever been about customer service being the most important thing to me whether I am booking a UK break or an around the world cruise my commitment and dedication to each individual customer is the same. I have done many training courses over the years and I am a specialist for Australia , Cruises and Weddings. As a Travel Counsellor I feel like I am part of a huge family of Travel knowledge and there is always someone to ask advice from which I believe is a huge bonus for customers booking with me as you are not only getting my experience but you are also getting world wide experience too.

Well, Hello There, My name is Danielle, I am super pleased you have taken the time to pop over and check out my profile. I would like to say a warm welcome to you and introduce myself. I am a Travel Counsellor and I live in (not so) sunny Bolton, Manchester. Given my locations, is it really any wonder I have a passion for travel and getting away to those warmer and sometimes colder climates! As the tale goes, everyone who works in travel loves to travel and I am no exception to this. 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.

Hello and welcome, my name is Ian Gifford, I live in Chalgrove, near Oxford with my wife Barbara. We have been here for eight years having lived and worked all over the UK. We love this location because of the friendly village community and the fantastic links to the world, with Heathrow only 40 minutes away.My dad encouraged my passion for travel from a very early age, taking me on exciting day trips to London, although I can still remember being too terrified to climb the ladder at the top of the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral!As a teenager, I just wanted to see the world. I completed cycling tours to the West Country and organised school walking tours that led to running a New Forest Youth Hostel. My early career in hospitality ensured a strong appreciation for food and wine, which included running our own hotel and restaurant, that is why I feel local food and drink is an exciting part of travel.Customer Service is part of my passion, going the extra mile, delivering the unexpected, when Covid-19 emerged I worked 24/7 to successfully repatriated all my customers from Australia, Vietnam, Philippines, Costa Rica and the Maldives, often needing to re-route and re-book as a result of restrictions that were emerging all the time. However, this is my approach even without CV-19 it is being there on the end of the phone when the customer needs me or resolving a problem before the customer is even aware. On one occasion, at 11pm, I became aware that Yosemite National Park was about to close, due to fires, my family were due to go two days later, I found alternative accommodation and then called the customer, confirming everything whist they stayed by the pool.For my business customers, I have arranged events for companies including elaborate dining in unusual locations, an amazing firework display and made sure guests got to a Champions League match when all flights were cancelled due to an airport closure. However, with business travel it is all about being available to help plan, manage changes and provide solutions so the customer can concentrate on his priorities.Identifying my favourite destinations is a challenge, however, seeing leaping Mantra Rays off the Pacific coast of Mexico was amazing, and the rustic village restaurant in Pergine Valdarno, Tuscany provided a uniquely warm feeling with other unforgettable experiences such as Samaria Gorge in Crete at dawn, skiing in powder at Verbier, Golf in the Algarve or watching a Grand Prix in Malaysia.Whether it is advising a restaurant on a client’s food allergies or organising a private tour in Rome, making sure your travel plans are exactly how you want them is vital. It is my responsibility to ensure you have first class service, before, during and following your trip.I am here to help, at times convenient to you, some of my clients have been in different time zones and I have planned calls at midnight before now, so if it is better for you to talk in the evenings or at weekends, that is fine with me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

I became a Travel Counsellor in 2023 when I started a new chapter in my career after 40 years in hospitality and tourism. I am currently based in Silsoe, in Central Bedfordshire, having moved back from Antigua in the Eastern Caribbean where I had been living for the past 20 years with my family. During my career, I have worked in Europe, the United States, and Africa, before moving to the Caribbean gaining extensive experience in the hospitality field, a journey that has taken me to 57 countries so far with hopefully more to be added to the list. It is now time to share this knowledge and passion with others. I could consider myself a Caribbean specialist having spent time in most of the islands of the Eastern Caribbean. I believe that the Caribbean is a place that offers something for everyone and I can provide advice to anyone looking to explore this region from helping to plan a dream vacation, to creating custom itineraries tailored to your specific needs and budget. However, I would not like to think of myself as only selling the Caribbean and can help you put together a bespoke vacation in many other destinations. I have travelled extensively in the US and Canada in recent years from LA to Boston and Las Vegas to Florida as well as across the border into Canada. There are a lot of great places to visit on this side of the Atlantic which I know also very well having lived and worked in France and Belgium. In France I had the privilege of working at the ultra-luxury Hotel Le Bristol in Paris for eight years and was part of the opening team of Euro Disney as it was know back then, in 1992. I am now looking forward to helping others with their travel plans. Having worked in the luxury hotel sector I am passionate about providing excellent personalized customer service and ensuring that you have an enjoyable and stress-free experience planning and booking your vacation. Whatever your budget I will create your perfect holiday. So whether it be a family beach holiday, a weekend break, a tailor-made trip, a cruise, a wedding overseas or honeymoon, or just a business trip, you can reach out with confidence knowing that with Travel Counsellors’ award-winning technology, I have access to hundreds of suppliers and airlines ensuring you a holiday that is tailored just for you. For your peace of mind, everything you book through me is 100% financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL. No ifs, no buts, you won’t find this anywhere on the internet. It is the best financial protection in the industry. Feel free to call or email me with your requirements and I will respond immediately, I really look forward to hearing from you!

Hello, I’m Emily from Weybridge in Surrey.I have worked in the travel industry for over 20 years, based in Oxford, Kensington and London’s West End, creating bespoke itineraries for leisure and corporate clients within both the economy and first and business class teams. I pride myself on my customer service and attention to detail, my understanding of complex flights, routes and fares, as well as my extensive hotel and destination knowledge. With this combination, I am confident that I can put together the perfect package for you, whatever your budget.Travel has been my passion as long as I can remember, and having spent the first three years of my life on a remote Pacific atoll in Kiribati and travelling through Africa, China, Tibet and Mongolia, it’s not hard to see why! A degree in Geography was the obvious choice for me, preceded by six months exploring Kenya, teaching English and Geography in a remote secondary school.I joined the industry directly after university where I continued to indulge my love of travel and have been lucky enough to venture to the Indian Ocean, Southeast Asia, India, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, North America and Canada, the Caribbean, Middle East, Africa and many beach and city destinations within Europe.

Hi, I’m Cara - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Nelson, Lancashire.I’m what’s known in Thailand as a Luk Krueng - half Thai. Growing up in a working-class town in England in the mid-80s, that certainly made me stand out. But for me, jumping on a plane to my mother’s wooden stilt family home deep in the Thai jungle was simply part of childhood. Those early adventures sparked a lifelong love of travel that eventually became my career.My first trip to Thailand in 1987 even made the local headlines, and since then I’ve returned more than 30 times - including four years living there while teaching English. My travels have taken me across Asia and far beyond: journeying up Mount Fuji in Japan with my sister and Japanese brother-in-law, exploring the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor in Cambodia, discovering the beautiful islands of the Philippines, and sleeping under the stars in the Dubai desert.Other highlights include cruising through Alaska (with a close-up grizzly bear encounter!), road-tripping through the Canadian Rockies, snowmobiling across Icelandic glaciers, and watching the Milky Way appear above us during a safari game drive in South Africa.With nearly 25 years’ experience in long-haul leisure travel, I bring a wealth of knowledge and first-hand experience to the holidays I create. I’ve travelled extensively with leading airlines such as Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines and Emirates in both Economy and Business Class, and stayed in some exceptional hotels around the world - including the famous Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.My role is simple: to take away the stress (and hours!) of searching the internet or queuing in travel agencies. Instead, I’ll design a holiday tailored completely to you, with the kind of personal service you simply won’t find on the High Street. Whether it’s a special anniversary, honeymoon, or a once-in-a-lifetime trip, I’ll make sure every detail is just right. I’m also very fussy on behalf of my clients - if something isn’t good enough, it simply doesn’t make the cut.I love creating trips so vividly that I can picture the whole journey myself. (Don’t worry - I promise I won’t sneak onto your flight or turn up at your hotel pool with a lilo in hand!) But I will be here if you need anything while you’re away, and I’ll be just as excited to hear your highlights when you return.And because life doesn’t always happen between 9-5, I’m available evenings and weekends too. Whether by email or phone, we can chat in whatever way suits you best.I look forward to having a good natter and helping you plan your next adventure.

Hello, and welcome to my webpage. I’m Tom, and I live in Kings Langley with my wife, two boys and our Welsh Terrier, Zac.I have always had a passion for travel, and have had many years of experience in researching and booking our own holidays, from fly-drives in California and Christmas in New York, to weekend trips to European cities and beach holidays on Greek islands.For me, every holiday has a common thread: its importance to the people who are taking it. My guiding principle, therefore, will always be to give every holiday I’m privileged to book the same care and attention to detail, so that customers are happy to return time after time.As a Travel Counsellor, I have access to resources and benefits that other companies simply don’t.

I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 18 years now.Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel. I have loved the opportunities my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia, including Asia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. I was fortunate enough to visit cities and islands within these destinations many times each year, including hosting staff or journalists taking them to far flung areas to truly experience what each region had to offer. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of the company, covering 15 locations including one in Canada.Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed long-haul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Long-haul, Short-haul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries.

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

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

Hello, I'm Gillian.I have worked in the travel industry for over 30 jam-packed years and can honestly say I have enjoyed every moment of it. I was bitten by the travel bug at a very early age and it is my passion. I am frequently asked where my favourite destination is but that question is just too difficult to answer. All countries are special with their own charm, beauty and hidden secrets. I am lucky enough to have travelled far and wide visiting Canada, South and North Africa, Thailand, India, Egypt, USA, the Caribbean islands, The Middle East, Australia and Europe many times. I have achieved Platinum Agent status for the Caribbean Tourism Organisation which is the highest award given for training and visiting the islands of the Caribbean. I am also an accredited specialist for many destinations as endorsed by the relevant tourism authorities including USA, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Middle East, ocean and river cruises and much more. I keep my knowledge of the ever changing travel world up to date with regular online training, industry events and of course, travelling.I do as much research as it takes to provide the most suitable trip for my valued clients whether it is a package holiday to Greece, a safari in Africa, a tailor-made trip touring Canada or a coach tour of Italy. I can also add many extras including airport parking and lounges, coach tickets, theatre breaks, excursions and attraction tickets as well as booking restaurants in resort. I can even arrange a private jet should you need one! I give independent and unbiased guidance often with a more competitive price than you can find elsewhere. Every penny you spend is 100% financially protected by either ATOL or our unique trust. Working from home means I can give personal, hassle free customer service, including out of normal office hours, with no distractions.

Hi, I’m Amy. Mum to my adventurous two‑year‑old, Ruben, partner to my favourite travel companion, Ben. Travel has shaped so many of our happiest memories, from spontaneous escapes before becoming parents to discovering new places through Ruben’s curious eyes. Becoming a mum has only made my love for travel stronger. For years, the Maldives was my favourite destination. Then Mauritius came along and completely surprised me. That feeling of discovering somewhere that captures your heart is exactly what I want to help create for my clients. I’ve always loved the excitement of planning a trip, but I know not everyone feels the same. Many people simply don’t have the time to research every detail or the confidence to know they’re making the right choices. That’s where I come in. When I discovered Travel Counsellors, I realised how powerful it is to have someone in your corner who listens, understands and handles everything with care. Now I offer that same support to my clients. My approach is personal and completely tailored to you. I take the time to understand what matters most, whether that is relaxation, adventure, family time or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience. From the first conversation to the moment you return home, I handle every detail so you can focus on making memories. With full financial protection through ATOL and the Travel Counsellors Trust, you can travel with complete peace of mind. Whether you are dreaming of a far‑flung escape, a family holiday or something totally unique, I am here to make it seamless. When I am not planning holidays, you will usually find me chasing after Ruben, exploring new places as a family or daydreaming about our next adventure or simply having a pint in the local pub. So, let’s turn your travel dreams into reality and discover the world with confidence and ease.

Hi, I’m Tina. I live in Bristol with my husband and two children.I have always had a love for travel, and after backpacking around the world in my early 20s, I knew I wanted to make it my career. Over the last 12 years, I have worked as a Senior Travel Consultant for an industry-leading travel agency, where I specialised in creating tailormade travel itineraries. During this time, I have been lucky to enjoy many wonderful experiences all over the world; including a Harley ride down Cape Town’s Chapmans Peak, following the Great Migration in the Serengeti, driving California’s Big Sur, the excitement of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, watching dolphin megapods playing off the coast of Oman, and witnessing the sun rise in the holy Indian city of Varanasi, where pilgrims come together to pray and bathe in the sacred waters of the Ganges.These days, I am enjoying exploring a little closer to home with my young family; hunting down the best pasteis de nata in the Algarve, finding the most delicious gelato spots in Italy, and relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Mallorca.When it comes to designing an authentic and unique travel itinerary, I combine my extensive knowledge and experience with a thorough understanding of my client’s needs and interests. I will listen and pick up on all details to ensure that my suggestions for your travel are truly personal. I will also be on hand to answer any queries before, during, or after your holiday. Moreover, you will have peace of mind with our 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Trust Account, as well as being fully ATOL protected.It is a true privilege to talk with others about their travel experiences and to continually learn about different destinations and cultures. I look forward to hearing from you and lining up the next trip from your bucket list!

Hi, I’m DanielleI’m a luxury travel consultant based in Luton, living with my husband, our children, and our dog, Ozzie. Travel has always been more than something I enjoy. It has been a constant part of my life, and for the past nine years it has been my full-time career.I work with clients who want their holidays to feel effortless, considered, and genuinely special. Not rushed. Not generic. And definitely not one size fits all. My role is not just to book flights and hotels. It is to listen properly, understand how you want your trip to feel, and then design a journey that fits you perfectly.As part of Travel Counsellors, I have access to a worldwide network of trusted partners, suppliers, and in-destination experts. This allows me to create tailor-made holidays that go far beyond what you will find online. That might be a beautifully balanced multi-centre itinerary, a luxury beach escape, a once-in-a-lifetime cruise, or a family holiday where everything simply works.I plan everything from honeymoons and anniversaries to bucket-list trips, city breaks, cruises, and luxury family travel. I also work with leading travel brands such as Jet2holidays, TUI, EasyJet Holidays, Royal Caribbean, MSC Cruises, P&O Cruises, and many more, alongside specialist operators for tours, cruises, and bespoke itineraries worldwide.One service I am especially proud of is my Honeymoon Gift Registry. It allows couples to create a personalised honeymoon fund where wedding guests can contribute towards the cost of your Honeymoon. It is simple, beautifully presented, and takes one more thing off your plate during wedding planning.I also offer travel gift vouchers and experience gifts, which make a thoughtful alternative to traditional presents and create memories that last far longer than things.What truly sets my service apart is the level of care and attention I give every booking. I manage every detail from start to finish, including flights, transfers, hotels, experiences, and timings, so everything flows exactly as it should. You will always have a real person to talk to, honest advice, and support before, during, and after you travel.For peace of mind, all bookings are protected by ATOL and Financial Trust Protection. Just as importantly, you will know someone is looking after your holiday as if it were their own.If you are looking for a travel expert who genuinely cares about getting it right, whether you are planning something simple or something truly special, I would love to help.Let’s create a trip you will talk about long after you are home ✨Danielle

Hello there. I’m Jo, an independent travel professional based in Didsbury, South Manchester, and I've been helping customers with their many and varied travel plans since I launched my Travel Counsellors business back in 2015. I am proud to have retained my Gold Status at Travel Counsellors for the last 8 years, and to be recongnised in the top 5% of TCs globally.I pride myself on being able to get the bottom of what customers are really looking for from a holiday; in understanding their motivations and on delivering great service. I find the personal approach works wonders in getting to the heart of what my customers really want, and I love to talk things through with my clients. I enjoy a very high level of repeat business (over 80%) and my business has grown enormously over the years, almost exclusively from word of mouth recommendations (you won't find me on Instagram or posting offers on facebook).I’ve always (since 1998) adored working in this wonderful industry and I live and breathe travel. My most recent long haul adventures been to Namibia, South Africa, Costa Rica, Maurituis and Thailand. Over the years I’ve been fortunate enough to have lived in France and Spain, and holidayed in (to name but a few) Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Croatia, Morocco, Malta, Portugal, Montenegro, Austria, Slovenia, Switzerland, Holland, Lithuania, Maldives, Mexico, Bali, Kenya and Tanzania. I was also lucky enough in the 2010s to spend three long and memorable summers with my young family travelling round Canada, USA and Brazil respectively. I’m a keen skier too, and I’ve matched many happy skiers with their perfect resorts in Europe, Canada, USA and Japan.So, whether you’re looking for a special family holiday, a honeymoon, a last-minute city break, a ski trip, luxury cruise, or planning the tailor-made holiday of a lifetime, please do get in touch. I know how easy it can be to lose hours of your life trawling the internet searching through a minefield of information. If you’d just like to talk to a real human being who will curate all that online information for you and distil it into what’s right for you, your travelling companions and your budget then I’m here to take the hassle out of booking your next holiday.I look forward to talking travel with you!

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 20 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. Here I ran the Luxury Leisure department, where I booked tailor-made leisure and business trips till I left five years later. During this time, I took the opportunity to work from the New York head office to expand on my global knowledge. Prior to starting my business I worked in Roadshow, Events & Marketing roles across different financial services sectors in the City of London. As well as time spent at a boutique hotel specialist and luxury villa agent.I can’t wait to help plan your next adventure, whether that’s a hopper flight to Dublin for business or a round the world cruise, you can rest assured you are 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.I am contactable 24/7 so please do pick up the phone or drop me a message to chat over ideas and inspiration for your next trip.

With 40 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable holiday experiences for clients around the world.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the globe, and together we have tips and touches that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels,

I’m Vicky — your personal travel concierge and passionate travel expert.One of my favourite quotes is, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." That line has always spoken out to me and is one I like to remind others of. My love for travel began in childhood, spending blissful days on the beach in Tenby — to little me, it felt like another world entirely. Since then, the travel bug never left me. It’s led me down the most beautiful paths, filling my heart and soul with unforgettable memories.From cycling solo through the colourful rhythms of Cuba, to mother-son moments in Tasmania — eating fresh oysters on Maria Island and sharing space with friendly wombats and curious possums. I've learned ceramics in charming Monopoli and had the joy of meeting the oldest resident of the magical Trulli in Alberobello. I’ve driven through the dreamy Douro Valley in a camper van, trekked the mighty Annapurna, and road-tripped across the USA with my daughters by my side. Cruised Europes Rivers and Oceans, Hiked many paths and walked on many beaches across the globe.I've explored 39 countries (and counting!) and each adventure has been a chapter in the most beautiful story — one I want to help you begin or continue, too.These days, I split my time between the rolling hills of Cheltenham in the Cotswolds and the calming sea breeze of Hannafore in West Looe — two places that bring me so much joy. I share life with my three grown-up children, my sweet dog Dixie, and Tommy the three-legged cat who always keeps things interesting!With over 35 years in the leisure and hospitality industry, my heart truly lies in creating experiences that feel thoughtful, joyful, and just right. I’m here to offer you not just my expertise, but my wholehearted care in crafting travel that’s meaningful, exciting, and uniquely yours.Whether you're dreaming of a walking or cycling holiday, adventure expedition, a sunny secluded beach, a culture indulgence trip, cruise, wellness, sports trip, your wedding or honeymoon, or a slow, purposeful journey — I help you with your itinerary as if it were my own.

Hello and welcome to my webpage. I am based in Solihull just south east of Birmingham and I have over 25 years’ experience in the travel industry. Since the first time, as a child, when I was taken on a ferry from Harwich to the Hook of Holland and then by train to the south of Germany I have been hooked on travel. I have had experience in many aspects of the travel industry including front line sales consultant, tailor made specialist and management and during this time I have built strong relationships with customers and travel suppliers. I understand from first-hand experience how travel suppliers operate so can use that experience to advise you in arranging your perfect holiday or business trip. Corporate travel is a speciality for me having worked as a senior manager with a leading travel management company for more than 20 years. Whether you need a hotel in the UK or a complex business trip I can arrange this for you. And it does not stop there, I can also provide you with account management advice, management information on your business travel trends and spend and the unique Travel Counsellors travel app. When I am not working I love to travel myself and have visited over 50 countries during my adventures. Some of the highlights of my travels have been diving in the Maldives and the Seychelles, Skiing in Colorado, Safaris in Kenya and South Africa, trekking up to the spectacular Machu Picchu in Peru, visiting historical monuments in Tibet and seeing the amazing Terracotta Warriors in Xian China to name but a few. But I have also travelled extensively in Europe and the UK and as a business traveller I understand the complexities involved and what is important to you when you are travelling for business having done many business trips both long and short haul. My passion lies with travel and offering my customers the very best personal travel experience. So whatever your travel requirements, be it a tailor made far away holiday of a lifetime, a chill out week a bit closer to home, a city break, a business trip or a weekend away in the UK I can help you. I look forward to hearing from you.

I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.I very much look forward to looking after you.

Hi,I am Mike Bridges - I have worked in travel for 36 years with the last 16 as a Travel Counsellor. In that time I have seen a radical change in how travel is sourced, so much so that I am now more of a tour operator than a travel agent, putting together bespoke packages to long haul destinations such as Australia, South Africa, U.S.A., the far east as well as all over Europe and the middle East. I also arrange corporate travel for my business clients.I have personally travelled extensively to most of these destinations over the years both as a consumer on family holidays and also as a delegate on educational/travel agency visits. Some of the places I have visited include:I have particular expertise in the Australian travel market, having just been awarded the status of Premier Aussie Specialist by Tourism Australia.If you are seeking a personalised service from an experienced independent agent/operator then be sure to contact me for:That overseas wedding, your own or as a guest That special weekend treat Where to take some foreign visitors for a typical English experience That exciting first trip abroad The holiday of a lifetime That special cruise to mark your birthday, anniversary, retirement The annual family summer holiday - compare and contrast places, hotels and prices - The winter sports holiday The long haul trip The holiday ‘where you are looked after’ by a resident tour guide Arranging that conference abroad PA’s booking hotels, airlines, meetings for your boss Visiting that trade exhibition in EuropeThese are just a few of the services I can offer you but in short your travel needs become my personalised concern - let me take the hassle away from your time consuming surfing on the net, that thumbing through brochures - leave it to someone who knows - ring for a discussion and together we will create your holiday experience.I look forward to hearing from you soon…

I’m Emily and I live in Somerset with my husband, three children, and Rusty the Border Terrier. I specialise in thoughtfully designed, experience-led journeys for families and couples who want their travel to feel meaningful, immersive, and beautifully tailored.My own travel experiences are at the heart of how I plan for my clients. From growing up living abroad and exploring European cities, to travelling through Thailand and Australia, sailing around the Greek islands, and spending extended time working on a ranch in the mountains of Montana, USA, I’ve experienced travel in many different forms. Alongside this, I now regularly design trips to some of my most booked destinations, including the Maldives, the USA, and Greece - giving me a deep, practical understanding of how to shape very different types of journeys, from barefoot luxury and island escapes to road trips, national parks, and cultural exploration. As an animal lover and horse owner, I’m particularly conscious of how travel experiences interact with wildlife, communities, and the natural world. When it’s relevant to your plans, I can guide you towards experiences and partners that take a thoughtful, responsible approach - without ever limiting the kind of travel you want to enjoy.The value of working with a professional travel planner is in the detail - matching you to the right places and experiences for what you’re really seeking. A ranch stay, for example, can mean very different things depending on whether you’re seeking wellness and space to slow down, hands-on horse riding, or food, culture, and connection. Choosing the right fit makes all the difference to how the experience feels.As a mum to three, I also understand how precious time away can be, especially for families balancing busy lives. Holidays are often the moments we look back on most fondly, the space where we reconnect, slow down, and create memories that stay with us for years to come. Whether I’m planning a family adventure, a special celebration, or a once-in-a-lifetime escape, I approach every trip with the same care I’d give my own.My role is to take the weight of planning off your shoulders, so you can enjoy the excitement of travel without the stress. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I’m there to guide you, support you, and make sure every detail has been thoughtfully taken care of.With Travel Counsellors’ industry-leading partnerships and technology behind me, I’m able to offer a complete, expert service with full financial protection and exceptional aftercare. Between myself and the duty office, you’ll have round-the-clock support while you’re away so you can travel with confidence, knowing help is always there if you need it.Talking travel is my favourite thing! I can make myself available whenever it works for you, whether you’re ready to start planning or just want to explore some ideas. I’d love to hear from you!"Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow." — Anita Desai "It's not the miles, it's the memories"

Fast forward 11 years and and I now have a wealth of experience and many amazing trips to draw from.

Luxury long haul destinations is where I have specialised for the majority of my career, however for the last couple of years I have also developed my knowledge of European destinations so whatever your need or desire I am available to create the perfect holiday for you.What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is the personal service that it enables me to provide to you as my client.
