Among all these adventures, Vienna holds a special place in my heart.

    Hei, Thanks for taking time out to let me outline my and my partner's experience.I learnt my trade working for and with, amongst others, Colin Murison Small who more or less invented the alpine ski 'chalet girl’, Colin Trigger a one time Chairman of ABTA & ATOL, and the legendary Vladimir Raitz who held the country’s first ATOL when in 1949 he sent 21 people to Corsica for £35 a head!! I’ve watched the sun rise over Table Mountain, sink beneath the horizon in the Aegean and stay above it all night in the Svalbard Archipelago. I’ve slept in a mountain hut on the edge of an Icelandic glacier and a staffed villa on a coconut plantation in the Dominican Republic. I've organised family holidays, culture tours, a product launch on an Icelandic glacier, weddings in the sun and snow, sales incentive meetings and more. My partner Anna ( Hyndman Lahna) spent 3 decades working in tour operation, retail travel, repatriation and for Singapore Airlines & South African Airways. What she doesn’t know about airline ticketing isn’t worth knowing. She has equally eclectic experiences to mine having white water rafted on the Zambezi River, trekked by camel across the Gobi desert, flip flopped over the Piranha River Bridge into Paraguay, and trained elves for Father Christmas in Lapland.Together we fuse our collective experience (and experiences) with Travel Counsellors' state of the art technology to plan, polish and perfect your holiday the way you want it to be. To see to it that everything works flawlessly for you from beginning to end. 'With us its Personal' is more than the company strap line its how we work so you get the travel arrangements you want.

    I've been creating memories for people for over 45 years. It was In 1978 I started my career in travel; and after a lifetime working in resort, hotel and travel operations management, today I am still here helping people who want to see the world do it with confidence, in safety and with financial protection.In the pandemic years, I looked after my clients with a "whatever it takes" attitude; reorganised travel, and made refunds promptly. In 2021 we moved forward, finally getting people to where they want to go and 2023 has seen my best year ever as a Travel Counsellor and I can only thank the hundreds of you who have placed your trust in me to manage your travel. I'm often asked what sort of travel I do - there is no definitive answer.From city breaks to ocean and river cruises, campervans, river boats, and yachts along with complex flight itineraries, group breaks and conferences. I've organised multi-centre itineraries to Italy, Croatia, Norway, Japan, Costa Rica, Chile and Peru, New Zealand, Australia, Hawaii, USA & Canada fly-drives, Sri-Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia wildlife holidays including the odd orangutan and a Komodo dragon or two. I've planned complex rail and road itineraries across Spain, Croatia, Montenegro and France, and plenty of Greek Island hopping. I’m a globetrotter and have visited 72 countries. crossed the Pacific exploring Hawaii down to Tonga, Samoa to French Polynesia to New Zealand and Australia, sailed around South America, enjoyed the Indian Ocean, and made several Atlantic crossings, arriving into wonderful New York, and "inching" under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge as the sun comes up, glistening against the windows of the skyscrapers in Manhattan.And having worked in many ski resorts over the years in Austria and Italy, and also skied extensively in Switzerland and France, I'm also a bit of a whizz on ski holidays. I have my own FB page for ski enthusiasts - just type in "Ski the World with Vanessa" to find me. It's a haven for ski deals, ski chat and equipment advice and if you are beginner there is no better place to start !In 2019 I earned the Master Tourism qualification from the Japanese National Tourist Office - I've already helped many clients to explore this mysterious and exciting nation, by rail road, foot, bike and boat . with more unique handcrafted adventures planned in 2025 and a ski holiday planned for 2026.On the subject of snow, I'm also very excited to be planning yet another Antarctic experience for my clients with hiking in Patagonia for 2026, and more Australia and New Zealand itineraries and adventures in Fiji and French Polynesian !And, my specialist destination? Ohh its complicated because I know so many! I've been to Italy 28 times, worked there for many summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country exceptionally well; and over the last four years, have been refreshing my Italian language skills with some success. I look to find unique, and different experiences for my clients and I know that many of you reading this, will have come to me because you are tired of spending endless hours at your computer or squinting at your phone, worried about getting things wrong, unsure with what you are committing yourself to. More than ever, I know you are looking for that personal touch to travel, and not a faceless website devoid of human contact. My business is built on referrals and repeat business, and as a testament has quadrupled in size since 2019.Why not read my client testimonials below and then call me to start your next adventure ?I am more than happy to be available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends as my hours are flexible.Lets travel in 2025, do something amazing and make it a year to remember...

    There are not many places I’ve not been to or booked someone to. Let me use my knowledge and try my personal service approach to your next holiday.I began my career in travel in the mid-1990s. The choice and types of holidays have changed dramatically since I started and so has how you book them, with Travel Counsellors leading the way.The popularity and selection of cruises is now immense – and so are some of the ships – but in terms of value for money, it’s an amazing holiday. I know there’s a cruise for everyone because I been on so many myself! From an uninterrupted trans-Atlantic voyage to New York, to a trip round-Britain calling at unique ports – I’ve done it! Cruises for the whole family are amazing also – there’s so much to do on the latest ships, even my hardest customers to please, my two children, agree.Gone are the days of choosing between a one or two week holiday. With Travel Counsellors I have access of hundreds of airlines and an endless list of hotels so you can have a tailor-made holiday. Whether it’s a customised package flying from a local airport, like Bournemouth or Southampton for me, to a multi-destination itinerary including flights with leading scheduled airlines, using the latest technology I have as a Travel Counsellor, I can do it.Through the hundreds of suppliers I can select from and the specialist tour operators I deal with, no travel idea is a challenge. My favourite trips are simple for me as a Travel Counsellor – worldwide itineraries taking in the best of Australasia, mid-haul city breaks like Dubai, once-in-a-lifetime visits to Father Christmas in Lapland and even luxury breaks in the UK.As a Travel Counsellor I have the time to get to know you, to understand what type of holiday you’re looking for (including the experiences and memories you’d like to make), and I can provide an extremely high level of service. Travel Counsellors came out on top, ranked number one travel firm, when Money Saving Expert surveyed travellers about how their travel agent treated them. Add to this that everything you book through me is 100% financially protected also.I live on the south coast between the sea and the Purbeck hills, in a Saxon town called Wareham in Dorset.

They come to me to have it properly planned and managed from the very beginning.Some are ticking off a long-held dream — the once-in-a-lifetime safari, the overwater villa, the milestone trip they’ve talked about for years.Others want complete escape — effortless care, beautiful surroundings, and the ability to switch off knowing everything has been arranged before they arrive.Some are drawn to depth and authenticity — boutique hotels, hidden gems, meaningful experiences beyond the obvious.And for many families, it’s about something even more important: time together and making memories.I take time to get to know you — how you like to travel, the pace you enjoy, and the details that elevate a trip from good to exceptional. I carefully plan each element: the right routing, the right room type, seamless transfers, and special requests handled in advance — all considered before you even pack your suitcase.If your priority is simply the lowest online price, there are many ways to book. If your priority is having everything carefully planned, protected, and managed seamlessly — that’s exactly what I do.Because holidays aren’t just trips. They’re the most important weeks of your year — and they deserve to be handled with care

    Jay Hollingsworth

    02838 220025 Portadown

    If you are thinking about a cruise or a carefully planned multi-centre holiday, you are in the right place.I specialise in creating cruise and multi-centre experiences that are thoughtfully designed around you. From Mediterranean sailings paired with boutique city stays, to Canada and Alaska journeys that combine rail and cruise, to Asia explorations or Australia and New Zealand adventures with seamless touring woven in, I bring clarity and reassurance to what can otherwise feel overwhelming.Cruising can feel deceptively simple at first, but the choices matter. Which ship truly suits your style? Is a balcony worth the investment? Are drinks packages good value for you? What if you choose the wrong cruise line? Do you need to fly the day before? And what about gratuities, Wi-Fi, visas, or insurance requirements? These decisions shape your entire experience, and getting them right makes all the difference.Drawing on two decades of industry experience, first-hand sailing knowledge, ongoing specialist training and strong relationships with leading cruise lines, I provide clear, honest advice at every stage. I explain the differences between cruise lines, ship sizes and cabin categories in plain English, so you feel informed rather than overwhelmed. I am here to help you make the right decision and book with confidence.For multi-centre holidays, I manage all of the moving parts for you. Sensible flight times, smooth connections and well-located hotels. Pre- and post-cruise stays that enhance your experience rather than complicate it. I take care of the logistics behind the scenes, so all you need to focus on is enjoying the experience.When you book with me, you are not just securing a holiday. You are gaining independent expert guidance, financial protection through the Travel Counsellors trust account, and one personal point of contact from enquiry to departure and beyond. If plans change or something unexpected happens, you have someone in your corner who will handle it.Many of my clients return year after year because they value having someone who understands how they like to travel, who is honest about what is worth the extra cost, and who takes care of the details.If you would like your next cruise or multi-centre holiday planned with care and expertise, I would love to help.

    Sarah Edwards

    01932 392280 Surrey

    Hello fellow travel lovers,I am Sarah Edwards, a Travel Concierge and Events Specialist based in Cobham, Surrey. I design tailor-made holidays and experiences around the world, from family adventures and weekend getaways to destination weddings, luxury honeymoons, surprise engagements, corporate events, and wellness retreats. Whatever the occasion, I love helping clients turn their travel dreams into unforgettable memories.I am also proud to be a Middle East expert, with particular expertise in Oman, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Having lived and travelled extensively in the region, I can offer first-hand insight into its rich culture, diverse landscapes, and hidden gems—whether you are seeking a luxurious desert escape, a cultural journey, or a blend of both.Travel has been a lifelong passion of mine that began in childhood with family holidays every school break. From long road trips across Europe to thrilling safaris in South Africa, cruises around the Caribbean, and magical family adventures in Orlando, travel quickly became a defining part of who I am.I grew up in the South of France and speak both English and French fluently. Over the years, I have lived in France, England, Switzerland, the United States, Monaco, and the United Arab Emirates, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of life. Having explored more than 48 countries, I love immersing myself in local traditions, wandering through neighbourhoods, tasting regional dishes, and uncovering hidden gems known only to locals.Before turning my passion into my full-time career, I spent more than 15 years in banking, most recently as a Managing Director and Chief of Staff. During this time, I managed large-scale corporate events, which refined my ability to manage complex logistics, anticipate challenges, and deliver exceptional experiences. I have also run my own wedding planning business, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of every detail in creating truly memorable and beautifully executed celebrations, allowing me to craft events of all kinds with care and precision.My personal favourite destination is AlUla in Saudi Arabia, a breathtaking and still largely undiscovered region of dramatic desert landscapes, ancient Nabatean tombs, and immersive cultural experiences.

    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause. Taking time out of our busy lives has never been more important. Booking with Travel Counsellors doesn’t just mean working with me; you also have the full support of our award winning head office team so if there’s ever a problem, we are all here to support and make sure you get sorted so you can get back to relaxing. All bookings are ATOL protected and have full financial protection.Whatever the enquiry, large or small, I would be delighted to help so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

From UK getaways and stylish European city breaks to cruises and once-in-a-lifetime round-the-world adventures, I am here to design travel that feels effortless for you.Based in Manchester, I live with my husband and our two children. My daughter, Madison, has recently graduated and is carving out her own path, while my son, Jaxon, is a talented musician who plays three instruments and competes in trampoline. Our family’s own adventures remind me every day how important it is to get the details right and create memories that last.My travel career started “many moons ago” at Going Places and I was instantly hooked. Since then I have worked for both large tour operators and a corporate business travel house, gaining a deep understanding of leisure, luxury and business travel. I briefly stepped away to work in the family business, but my heart never left travel. When I was ready to return, choosing Travel Counsellors was easy. Their values, especially around service and care, mirror my own.My personal travels have taken me across Europe, the Caribbean, the USA (with Las Vegas a particular favourite), Dubai, the Maldives, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and the French Polynesian islands, including iconic Bora Bora. I have even worked as a holiday programme presenter in French Polynesia for a major tour operator. I am also a keen cruiser and have achieved Captain status with Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises and Azamara through comprehensive product training. One of my most magical experiences was taking my children and my mum to Lapland on Christmas Eve 2015 to look for the real Father Christmas.If I had to choose a favourite type of holiday to arrange, it would be multi-centre itineraries. I love the challenge of fitting all the pieces together: creating a smooth flow between destinations, balancing sightseeing and downtime, and ensuring every stop adds something special. It is like working on a wonderful puzzle where the final picture is your perfect trip.Exceptional customer care is non-negotiable for me. I am committed to going the extra mile, whether that is arranging those thoughtful touches, navigating complex arrangements or simply being there when you need support. If there is something I can do to make your holiday even more memorable, I will.Using a personal travel advisor does not mean paying more, but it does mean gaining a dedicated expert who is on your side from the moment you enquire to the moment you return home.

    Travel has always been so much more to me than simply getting from A to B. It is the thread that runs through my life: the thing I work for, dream about and always have on the horizon. I am a passionate believer in the power of “the next trip” to bring joy, connection and something truly special to look forward to. For families, I also see travel as one of the most enriching forms of education for children: a way to open their eyes to different cultures, wildlife, history and landscapes in a way no classroom ever could.As an independent Travel Counsellor, my clients are at the heart of everything I do. I offer a highly personal, concierge-style service: from private transfers and handpicked hotels to immersive experiences and those thoughtful touches that make a holiday feel truly “yours”. Whether you are dreaming of, I take time to understand what matters most to you and design every detail around that.I know that luxury means something different to every person. For some it is barefoot time together on a white-sand beach, for others a meticulously planned family adventure, a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon, an intimate wine-tasting escape, an exclusive safari or a restorative break after a demanding year. Whatever it means to you, my role is to remove the stress and complexity of planning and to curate journeys that feel effortless, personalised and unforgettable.My own travels began in South Africa, where countless safaris and wine tours sparked a lifelong love of nature, wildlife and wide-open spaces. Since then I have explored much of the world: from the snowy slopes of Scotland and the timeless pyramids of Egypt, to the landscapes of Italy and Portugal, the forests and temples of Bali, the magic of Walt Disney World, and vibrant cities across Europe, Russia and beyond. I have a particular soft spot for islands and beaches, with favourites including Zanzibar, Mauritius, Hawaii, and the Maldives.I am also an avid scuba diver and snorkeller, and some of my most cherished memories are in or under the water: coming face to face with a whale shark in the Red Sea, listening to dolphins in the waters around Zanzibar, drifting alongside green turtles off the coast of Maui, and witnessing the magical glow of bioluminescence on a night-time experience in Tobago. These encounters give me a deep appreciation of how powerful travel can be, and I bring that same sense of wonder to the itineraries I create for my clients.From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I am on hand to guide, support and inspire you, with help just a call or message away while you are away.I would be delighted to work with you to design your next luxury escape and create travel memories you and your family will treasure for years to come.

    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. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is ImpossiblePlease feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time during the day, evening or weekends, at the Hobo Private Members Club in Loughton.I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.VickyIF YOU CAN DREAM IT I CAN CREATE IT.

New Zealand and the three long distance rail journeys through some breath taking scenery, Milford Sound and Bay of Islands.What are your favourites or destinations of desire?

    Hello and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage, I love to travel and by visiting this webpage hopefully you do too! I am a highly experienced travel agent based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with global destinations at my fingertips.I trust you will find the below introduction helpful and that I can inspire you to pick up the phone or drop me a line for a chat about where in the world next awaits you.My passion for travel really took off when I booked a round the world flight ticket in 1997. I largely lived, worked and travelled in Australia, also taking in Fiji and Hawaii on the way home. I have always loved adventure and this opened a whole new world of excitement, experiences and many life-long friends.Ever since, I have been fortunate to travel to many worldwide destinations and experience some magical places. From mountaineering and jungle trekking in Borneo, cruising the Egyptian Nile and riding donkeys to the Valley of the Kings, snowboarding and husky sledding in Canada, scuba diving with sharks in Fiji, hang gliding in Brazil, safaris in Kenya, honeymooning in Zanzibar, crayfish parties in Sweden, to road trips across the USA taking in some of the most breath-taking scenery imaginable.One of my favourite memories is proposing to my wife whilst scuba diving in Tobago, using an underwater slate and a makeshift ring. Thankfully she ticked the ‘Yes’ box and we returned to the surface to cheers from our fellow dive buddies. As of 2018 there are 195 countries in the world and I find it amazing that whilst I feel well travelled, I know I have only really scratched the surface (and occasionally gone underneath when diving!) To fuel my passion for travel, I worked for seven years for two bespoke travel companies, immersing myself further into new destinations, sharing my knowledge and experience and what it can do for the human spirit. I am highly experienced helping business and leisure travellers, designing bespoke trips whilst offering an exceptional level of care and service, whatever your travel requirements and aspirations, big or small. I am available 24/7, before, during and after your trip, to help and assist with recommendations and solving those unforeseen hiccups.In a world of computers, robots and technology, there is still nothing like a personal touch. Let me help take you on your next journey and make it an even more memorable experience.

    Sarah Roberts

    07421 289928 Widnes

    Hi, I'm Sarah. I live in Widnes, Cheshire, with my husband and the youngest of our adult children.Travel has been my obsession since 1992, when 20‑year‑old me and my future husband took our first independent trip abroad: across the Atlantic to Florida. Instantly hooked on travelling, we quickly followed this with holidays to Mexico, Thailand and a Grand Tour of Italy, and we have visited over 40 different countries together since.I love travel because of the awesome experiences it can offer: walking on the Nigardsbreen Glacier in Norway; riding Flight of Passage in Walt Disney World; joining the pilgrims in Lhasa's Jokhang Temple; following the Iguaçu Falls trail in Brazil: all moments etched into my memory forever.In 2017, after 25 years successfully organising our own adventures, I started a new chapter in life by joining Travel Counsellors. Now, as a full-time travel professional, my mission is to share my knowledge and expertise to help you go beyond the average holiday and embark on extraordinary journeys, creating your own cherished memories.I specialise in putting together personalised touring holidays to all corners of the planet. I go beyond the basics of flights and accommodation to create complete itineraries that incorporate not‑to‑be‑missed attractions and under‑the‑radar experiences, all underpinned by my detailed pre‑travel advice and in‑resort support.Since that first trip in 1992 I have visited Orlando many times, and it is safe to say that I have become a Disney fanatic!

    Hi, I’m Cheryl, thank you for visiting my webpage. I am an independent personal Travel Counsellor based in the beautiful Stratford Upon Avon countryside where I live with my husband, two children and two dogs. I am here to find you, your family, and friends that holiday of a lifetime which you may not have the time to find yourself, which will be remembered for years to come. I truly believe ‘every’ holiday should always be amazing and fulfil everyone’s expectations whether this be a city break, ski trip, cruise, multi centre or that luxury beach escape….my job is to make this a reality for you. My passion for travel has led me here, making a career out of something I love and am passionate about. I am so excited to have this opportunity and to share my love of travel with you. I caught the ‘travel’ bug when I first went abroad on holiday at the age of 12 and have been hooked ever since. Some of my highlights include Desert Safari in Dubai, Iceland’s stunning waterfalls and geysers, Lembongan Island in Bali in a beach hut, helicopter landing in the Grand Canyon, Scuba diving in the Caribbean, cruising Norway and the Baltic, skiing as a family in Norway, driving down the West coast of USA and cruising Alaska seeing the beautiful glaciers carving and a pod of Orca’s hunting. I still have a bucket list of countries to visit. As a highly organised person, with excellent attention to detail after having spent the early part of my career as an Accountant, you can be sure I will take care of every little detail to ensure you have that perfect holiday. As a Travel Counsellor I can create a bespoke, tailor-made holiday that matches your own individual needs, offering you a truly personal, yet professional service.

    Thank you for taking the time to find out a bit more about me.I have been in the travel industry since I left school and have been an independent travel consultant with Travel Counsellors for over 20 years. I have always had a passion for travel and with the best technology and freedom of choice, I can give you the most professional, stress free, personal service to plan and book your travel arrangements. Let me shop around for you to find the most suitable solution for your holiday plans or celebration trip. Unlike many internet sites, everything I book for you is 100% financially protected - no ifs, no buts. From a no-frills flight to an around the world itinerary, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your money is in safe hands. During the recent Covid crisis we were voted the best company for customer refunds not once, not twice, but three times, which is a very welcome accolade. It’s not what we wanted to be known for, but when things do go wrong, we have a great track record of customer care.I have been to a different country for every year of my life, have cruised many times and been on-board most of the UK's favourite cruise ships. We did our first European river cruise from Budapest to Regensburg a few years ago. We visited Canada, the USA and Alaska for an epic 6 week trip in 2019. I have attended the CLIA cruise conference in Southampton to check out the new innovations in the cruise industry and I've since added ship visits to P&O's Arvia, MSC's Virtuosa, Windstar's Legend, Azamara's Onward & Virgin's Valiant Lady. I sailed on Celebrity APEX last year to Scandinavia - our first cruise North!Since Covid came into our lives it seems to have made most of my clients more determined than ever to make the time to get away. In 2022 my first overseas adventure was a tour to Jordan - which was great fun. I was invited on Celebrity Beyond for a trade promotional weekend not long after. Our first holiday in 2022 was an Azamara cruise around Croatia - a stunning destination and a chance to find out what happens now you can't dock ships over 25,000 tons in Venice! Our last major trip of 2022 was a last minute cruise around the Greek Islands on Windstar. We always wanted to take a trip on a masted ship and it was everything we hoped for and more. We also explored Athens for a few days before flying home which was easy to do and very interesting. In 2023 we added Seville, Haarlem (Netherlands) for Floriade, the USA, Mexico, Cornwall, Devon & Cyprus. In 2024 our biggest trip was a month spent travelling around California and Canada. The highlight was the Calgary Stampede which we followed with a leisurely self drive through the Rockies and a stop on the East in Montreal. Our first trip 2025 was to Abu Dhabi and Thailand and we ended our travels visiting Tallinn in Estonia for their Xmas markets. I was also lucky enough to visit Costa Rica through the tourist office on a business trip.For each personal & client booking I make I'm planting trees through Trees4Travel to help offsets the carbon emissions generated by our travels. So far I've planted over 1000 trees in Kenya & Mozambique. It's not a lot in the bigger scheme of things, but it's a start to making people more aware of what they can do to help regeneration & support local communities in developing countries.For an informal chat about your travel plans - at home or away - please call me and I look forward to speaking to you soon...

    Hello, I'm Steve. Welcome to my page! I live in Bushey Heath, Hertfordshire with my wife Tanya and we have two fabulous children. We all know first-hand how precious holiday time is – whether you're seeking adventure, relaxation, cultural immersion, or simply quality time with loved ones.My love affair with travel began with childhood family trips to Spain. From that first taste of Spanish sunshine, different cultures, new flavours and unfamiliar sights, I was hooked. That early spark has grown into a lifelong passion for exploring our incredible world.Over the years, I've been fortunate to travel extensively across Europe – from the vibrant cities of the west to the historic charm of the east, the stunning fjords of the north to the sun-drenched Mediterranean south. My honeymoon safari in Kenya remains one of the most awe-inspiring experiences of my life – there's something truly magical about witnessing nature in its rawest, most magnificent form. I've also cruised through the Caribbean and explored countless destinations that have each left their mark on me.I'm naturally curious about people and places. I love cruises for their effortless way of exploring multiple destinations, cultural experiences that broaden horizons, and those breathtaking natural wonders that simply blow your mind. Norwegian fjords, African safaris, hidden European gems – these are the experiences that remind us how extraordinary our world truly is.My greatest strength? I'm a team player. Throughout my career, I've succeeded by building strong collaborative relationships and leveraging the expertise of those around me. As your Travel Counsellor, this means you benefit not just from my dedication and attention to detail, but from a whole network of colleagues and suppliers working together to create your perfect holiday.I believe every holiday should be bespoke – shaped around your tastes, your dreams, and your budget.

I'll take the time to really understand what you're looking for, handle all the details, and work tirelessly to ensure everything is just right.

    I'm Jess and I have a confession I am completely, unapologetically obsessed with travel.For me, it is not just about flights and hotels. It is about how a trip feels. Who you are going with.

I take that as a huge compliment. I am someone people feel comfortable with quickly. I am here to excite you about your plans, but also to keep you calm and confident that everything is handled properly.I ask different questions on purpose. Why this destination? Why this year? Why these people? Because travel is emotional. It marks moments in life. And when you come back, I want to hear about the experiences that gave you goosebumps, not just whether the hotel was nice.I specialise in creating experiential, unforgettable holidays across places like Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, the USA (especially the Deep South), and Egypt. These are the kinds of places where you do not just visit, you feel something. I bring a wealth of knowledge from my own adventures, so I can filter through all the options to find the perfect experiences, hotels, and logistics that match your style, pace, and preferences. What makes me different? My energy. Nothing is too much trouble. From our first conversation to when you are home and reliving the highlights, I am with you the whole way. I want you excited before you have even confirmed the booking.When a client books with me, it genuinely means the world. Trust is everything in travel. I feel proud, excited and fully confident that what we have created together is exactly the right fit. I get just as excited confirming your trip as you do receiving it.You are in safe hands with me. Fully financially protected, supported end to end, and backed by someone who cares deeply about getting it right.If you want peace of mind, expert guidance, and a holiday that truly exceeds expectations, let’s start planning.

    01580 848640 Tenterden

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

    My name is Nicola Rawlinson and I am an independent travel agent. I have been in the travel industry for over 20 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was Manager at Travelworld in Guiseley.I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice without targets. Therefore I can now ensure that I can focus on booking the right holiday for my customers.I have travelled to many many places throughout the world. In addition I have participated in a number of training programmes. I hold a Dubai specialist qualification, along with many other certificates of achievement.My favourite destination would have to be the Caribbean with the powder white sands and crystal clear waters.As your own personal Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor-make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, which is why working from home means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. This has also proved invaluable in the very unlikely event that you have a problem whilst in resort.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements - so whether it be a theatre break to London or a round the world cruise - I can help. As part of a large organisation I can also get you great deals on accommodation so if you need to know the best Paris hotels for a last minute holiday to France or the best Dubai hotels for a luxurious weekend in the sun please contact me. Of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

    Emily Coles

    01788 670022 Rugby

    Hello! I’m Emily, a Rugby based Travel Counsellor!Travel has always been something I’ve considered a lifestyle necessity as opposed to a hobby or a passion. Whilst studying Journalism at university, I used every spare weekend to explore new destinations, whether it was a short break on the South Coast of England, or a few nights in Europe. After years of sharing my own experiences through my travel blog, I decided to take a leap of faith in myself and become a travel counsellor. For me, the best part of travel isn’t just the trip itself, but it is the excitement to share the stories you bring home. The smile on my grandmas face when I bring her home an authentic souvenir, or the way my grandad laughs when I talk about the adventures I’ve endeavoured on makes every part of the journey home from a new destination just as exciting. And that’s the exact feeling I bring to all my clients when they book their personalised holiday with me!I made the decision to become a Travel Counsellor for the opportunity to be part of others stories. I will take away the stress and hassle of spending hours sifting through pages of online deals and provide you with a bespoke holiday catering to your needs, with 100% ATOL protection giving complete financial peace of mind, you can focus your stress on what to pack for your dream getaway instead.As a worldwide company, Travel Counsellors will be there for you 24/7 with our duty office, and with no other obligations, clients are my complete priority. With that in mind, I will be available at a time that best suits you for a chat about your travel desires… a personal service you would not receive booking online.

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

    Hello, and welcome. I’m Darren, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’m based in Durham. This year I celebrate 38 years in the travel industry: from the humble beginnings of stamping brochures in a high street agency to now running my own travel business, designing holidays that truly matter to my clients.Over the years I have not only worked in travel, I have lived it. I have lived and worked in both Perth and Brisbane in Australia, and spent time as a resort rep in Menorca, Corfu and Athens. That first-hand experience of destinations, airports, transfers, hotels and local life means I understand what really makes a holiday work once you are actually there.I have always had a genuine passion for travel and have spent many years researching and booking our own trips: from fly-drives along the Californian coast and magical Christmases in New York, to weekends in Europe’s great cities and lazy beach escapes on the Greek islands.For me, every holiday has one very important thing in common: how special it is to the people taking it. Whether it is a long-awaited family getaway, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or a quick city break to recharge, it deserves to be treated with care. My guiding principle is simple: every trip I am trusted to arrange receives the same level of attention to detail, so that my customers are happy to return to me year after year.As a Travel Counsellor I have access to a wide range of exclusive tools, knowledge and global partners. This allows me to arrange everything from UK staycations and European beach breaks to complex multi-centre itineraries and round-the-world journeys. I will listen carefully to what you want, then shape a holiday around you, rather than trying to fit you into something off the shelf.With my experience, destination knowledge and passion for service, I aim to take away the stress and uncertainty that can come with booking a holiday. I will handle as much or as little as you need, from flights and accommodation to transfers, car hire, excursions and those little touches that make a trip feel truly personal.When you book with me, you will also benefit from:- 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Trust. - The MyTC app, where you can view your quotes, bookings, travel documents and flight updates, and make payments securely in one place. - 24/7 support, with help on hand around the clock should anything unexpected arise during your travels.If you are thinking about your next getaway, I would love to help. Get in touch with me for a chat about your holiday ideas, and together we can start turning them into those special memories that last a lifetime.

    Clare Fraser-Jones

    0782 4997875 St Albans

    Welcome, I am so pleased you have found me.I am an independent, boutique Travel Counsellor, which means you get the very best of both worlds: the care, flexibility and personal attention of a small business, combined with the strength, buying power and technology of a trusted global travel company. Every journey I design is crafted around you, your lifestyle and your dreams, with a focus on creating meaningful experiences that you will talk about for years to come.Travel today is about so much more than simply getting from A to B. It is about connection: to people, to cultures, to nature and to yourself. My role is to really listen to what matters to you, understand how you like to travel and then quietly take care of everything behind the scenes. From our very first conversation to the moment you arrive home, I am there to guide, reassure and inspire, so you can travel with complete confidence.Because I am part of the Travel Counsellors family, I have access to an extensive network of specialist suppliers, trusted partners and fellow travel experts right around the world. This gives my clients the advantage of competitive pricing, excellent availability and clever technology that keeps everything running smoothly. But you will never feel like just another booking in a system. With me, your holiday is always personal, never off the shelf.I specialise in travel that feels tailor made: whether that is a sustainably minded safari, a restorative wellness retreat, a cultural city break, or a complex, multi‑stop itinerary designed around your family, your hobbies or a special celebration. Every recommendation is considered through three key lenses: the quality of your experience, the wellbeing of you and your travelling companions, and the wider impact on local communities and the environment.Sustainability is not a buzzword for me, it is a guiding principle. Wherever possible, I seek out partners who respect their people and their places, who protect wildlife, celebrate local culture and minimise their footprint. I will talk you through options that might reduce your environmental impact or support community-led initiatives, without compromising on comfort, style or enjoyment. Together, we can make more conscious choices that still feel indulgent and rewarding.Your wellbeing is always at the centre of my planning. For some clients, that means building in time to slow down, breathe and reconnect; for others, it might mean carefully managing accessibility needs, dietary requirements or travelling with children and older relatives. I pay attention to the small details that make a big difference: the right flight times, the perfect room type, a quieter corner of the resort, or a trusted local guide who understands exactly what you want from each day.Most importantly, you are never on your own. I am your single, dedicated point of contact, here whenever you need me. If a question pops into your head in the evening, if you need to tweak plans, or if something unexpected happens while you are away, you can reach out to me directly and I will be there to help. That peace of mind is at the heart of what I offer.Planning a trip should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I take the time to explore ideas with you, to suggest possibilities you may not have considered and to refine your plans until they feel exactly right. Then I manage all the arrangements, from flights and hotels to transfers, excursions and those thoughtful little extras that make your journey feel special and uniquely yours.If you are ready to travel in a way that feels more personal, more considered and more enriching, I would love to help you design your next adventure. Contact me to start a conversation about where you would like to go and how you would like to feel while you are there. Together, we will create a journey that is kind to the planet, good for the soul and unforgettable for you.
