Hi, my name is John and I am a Travel Counsellor based in Blyth on the beautiful Northumberland coast.Are you looking forward to a holiday but don’t want the stress of researching locations, hotels, and flights yourself? Worried about whether those online reviews are reliable or if you’ve missed something important in your itinerary? Do you dream of a trip tailored entirely to you, so you can simply relax and enjoy the experience?If so, you’ve come to the right place. My mission is to provide a completely personal service – from your very first enquiry right through to the moment you return home – so all you need to do is pack your bags and have the time of your life. I’ll take care of everything: researching and planning, securing the best arrangements, thinking through the little details that make a big difference, and being there whenever you need me.As a vegan myself, I understand how challenging it can be to travel with specific dietary requirements – especially when hotels or destinations aren’t set up for them. That’s why I can create holidays that take the stress out of finding suitable dining options, whether that’s securing vegan-friendly hotels, arranging restaurant recommendations, or building itineraries that celebrate plant-based cuisine.I also believe travel should have a positive impact, both on you and the world around you. I can help you choose options that support local communities, promote ethical wildlife experiences, and reduce environmental impact – so your holiday is not only memorable for you, but also meaningful for the people and places you visit.My own travel experiences span from childhood holidays in the UK to multi-destination adventures in South East Asia and beyond. I believe every holiday – whether big or small, hot or cold, adventurous or relaxing – should be special. By taking the time to talk with you at a time that suits you, I’ll design a trip that reflects what truly matters to you, filled with the kind of moments you’ll look back on fondly for years to come.Alongside my personal expertise, I have access to a global network of fellow Travel Counsellors and local specialists, so wherever you want to go, I can handcraft a quote packed with hidden gems and authentic experiences. You’ll also have the reassurance of 24/7 support from both myself and our Duty Office, plus complete financial protection through ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust Fund.So, whether you already have a destination in mind or are looking for inspiration, the first step to your most memorable, worry-free holiday is just a phone call away.Your perfect holiday, designed around you – your tastes, your values, and your way of travelling.

As your personal Travel Counsellor, I am able to provide a unique travel service, using award winning technology to tailor-make holidays, with the support of a world leading, independent travel company. As I work from home, I can speak to you at a time that suits you, even if it is outside normal working hours. The way in which we are booking holidays has changed dramatically over the last 20 years, but the need to tap into expertise and the ability to contact your individual travel consultant with any questions (with no delays or waiting on the phone for hours) is something I have found customers really want - particularly for those with more complex and specialist holidays.I specialise in long haul, tailor-made and luxury travel and am able to create magnificent holidays all over South East Asia, Africa, Australasia, the Americas and around the world. Whether it’s a Tanzanian safari you’re after, a fully escorted tour around Indochina or a leisurely self-drive around the beautiful islands of New Zealand, I can help to create a magical holiday for you by taking away all the pressure and providing valuable and impartial advice on the best places to stay and visit.I have access to some of the best hotel, tour and airline rates in the industry and can also provide piece of mind when it comes to your money as all of the holidays I create are 100% financially protected by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellor Financial Trust. If you book a Travel Counsellors' package with me, you will also benefit from a unique flexibility and free amendments up to 8 weeks before travel. So there really is no need to be concerned about booking in advance.After the blip in 2020-2021, travel has really bounced back, and I'm guessing your desire to travel the world is as great as it's ever going to be so why not give me a try – I pride myself on treating everyone’s holiday as if it was my own and will do my utmost to provide you with the dedicated service you deserve.Nikki

Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK. As your own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs.

Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. So whether you just need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help and of course I can help with any other travel arrangements you may have, including holiday car hire and holiday insurance. My aim is to build long term partnerships with all my clients based on trust, understanding and the honesty of independent advice and I will offer you the best value available from a wider range of operators than any high street agency can offer. I can provide you with any details you require quickly by email or telephone, I work flexible hours so can be contacted when you need me.

Hi, I'm Jamie from South East London. I have a passion for all things travel and I want to make your travel dreams come true! During a long and fulfilling career in Financial Services, I cultivated my love for travel, enjoying trips all over the world and taking on the role of unofficial travel adviser for my friends, family and colleagues.

I can offer trips anywhere in the world and tailor-make experiences for you and your travel companions. Anything from family fun in Florida, to vineyards in Vancouver, to hiking the Himalayas - if you can dream it, I can build it. Your holiday isn't just about the destination, it's about your experience from our very first conversation, to the moment you arrive home. Along the way, things don't always go the way we expect and booking with me means you don't have to solve any issues - simply leave it to me. Don't waste your most precious resource, time, researching an endless list of options and costs - help me understand your needs and budgets and I'll do the rest. Your happiness, peace of mind and satisfaction is my priority. I'm proud that my business is powered by Travel Counsellors. With over 30 years as a fixture in luxury travel, they have built a fantastic reputation combining an ultra-high level of service with tailor-made itineraries to suit all travellers.

Hello, my name is Laura and I am based in West Byfleet, Surrey.My passion for travel started back on 9th May 1995 (that’s right – I remember the exact date!) I was 11 years old and I went on my first long haul flight to Florida. I loved the whole experience. The bustle of the airport, the flight, arriving somewhere I’d never been before, the food and then of course, Disney – I loved it all. I’ll never forget that trip – and come the 9th May each year, I remember “what a holiday!” that was. Money well spent, hey!Fast forward (almost!!) 30 years! I now have 2 children of my own and there is nothing we enjoy more as a family than exploring our wonderful world together. My passion for both travel and customer service is second to none, and having been disappointed on occasions with the service I have received, I’ve thought “I can do this so much better”. So here I am, opening myself up to you as your own personal Travel Counsellor. With the support of the award winning Travel Counsellors brand behind me, I’ll take care of all the details, and you take care of the memories. All safe in the knowledge that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind. I pride myself on offering a full and comprehensive service. From short to long haul; luxury to low cost; multi destinations to all-inclusive resorts; from sun to ski… and sea to sand! Drawing on my own experiences having travelled extensively around the USA, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Australia and South Africa, I truly believe I can create the holiday of your dreams, whatever that might be.I like to think I have a ‘few’ specialist areas: • Japan. We lived in the heart of Tokyo with 2 small children who both attended the British School in Shibuya. This was a unique and incredible experience giving us the platform to explore this fascinating part of the world. • USA. From East to West coast; the Sunshine State of Florida to Music City in Nashville; to the lights and sounds of New York to Las Vegas; from Route 66 to Pacific Highway 1! • Disney. Having visited parks in Florida, Paris, and Tokyo, I know a ‘few’ things Disney! • Italy – extensively travelled from North to South. Skiing in the Alps, city breaks in Rome, Venice, Milan and Florence, to private villas in rural towns. • Australia – Perth and the wine region of Margaret River on the West coast… to travelling the East coast from Carins to The Great Barrier Reef; Byron Bay to Sydney. • South Africa - I’ve explored the Garden Route, from Table Mountain in Cape Town, the wine tours of Franschhoek and seeing the Big Five on safari. I truly love all things travel, and with me it really is personal. It's time to make your memories, so give me a call and let's get planning.

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

One of our most unforgettable memories was our Iceland trip due to the wide range of experiences which met all our individual needs including a puffin encounter, glacier hiking, geothermal bread baking, zip lining, walking inside a volcano and relaxing in the Blue Lagoon. Some of my travel highlights are: hiking through the Canyons in Southwest USA including Zion and Bryce national parks, husky sledding in Lapland, taking a boat trip on the Glacier lagoon in Iceland, snorkelling amongst turtles and nursing sharks in the Maldives, watching the fireworks in Euro Disney, swimming with the dolphins in Florida, feeding elephants and sleeping on floating tents in Thailand, enjoying a seaweed bath in South of Ireland, water rambling in Gorges du Verdon in South of France, learning to ski in Austria and Switzerland, zip lining in Snowdonia in Wales, driving through Glencoe in Scotland, scuba diving in Corsica, exploring Northern Italy including lake Garda, the Dolomites & Venice, sunrise hot air balloon experience over the desert, and finally saying “I do” on the beach in Mauritius.What I can offer you… As a travel counsellor, my mission is to give you a highly personal travel service build on trust, care and honesty. I am committed to ensure that your holiday is a memorable and meaningful experience by getting to know you personally, making sure that your trip is tailored to you own personal needs and preferences and taken care of for you from start to finish. Working from home means that I am also available at a time to suit you.

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

Travel has been my passion, since I started working as a trainee in a high street travel agency, at the age of 17.

I am Teresa Jones. I’m married with two grown up stepdaughters and 16 year old daughter. After living in London for twenty years I returned to my home county of Nottinghamshire where we now live a very different life in a small friendly village outside the pretty and historic minster town of Southwell.Before I became a Travel Counsellor, I spent twenty-five years in The City working in a demanding role for a global financial services company. Anyone who knows me will tell you that I have an absolute passion for travel. If I’m not actually travelling, I’m talking or reading about it, planning my next trip or advising friends and family with their own adventures. Being a Travel Counsellor and helping others realise their own travel dreams is my ultimate job.From my first ever overseas holiday to Malta aged ten and experiencing the azure waters of The Blue Grotto, eating fresh fish by the harbour and walking the hot and dusty streets of Valletta, I knew I was addicted to travel.Since then, through both work and personal life, I have been fortunate to visit over forty countries. From road trips through California drinking in the sights and the Pinot Noir, to snorkelling in the Maldives with the clownfish, to skiing corduroy slopes under vivid blue Alpen skies, to sunrise safaris spying lions in South Africa or gazing at Sydney Opera House; it would be impossible to choose a favourite. However, Bali and its charming people and Portugal and its vast expanses of golden beaches are both very dear to my heart.My whole career has been spent striving to exceed the expectations of highly demanding corporate clients. I’ve turned these skills to arranging bespoke travel experiences that perfectly match my clients’ requirements. I’m not tied to office hours so happy to speak at a time that suits you.So, whether it be long or short-haul luxury beach breaks; family getaways; exotic adventures; road trips; winter sports; honeymoons; cruises; exquisite city breaks or staycations; I’d be delighted to share my experiences with you to help you plan your next expedition be it near or far.So, what are you waiting for?

Shortly followed by the proclamation that actually, “I don’t care as long as I can just travel anywhere I like!”Who would have known that over 30 years later I would have travelled around the world twice, visited over 80 countries, spent three summer’s teaching sailing and water sports abroad and forged a career in marketing and accountancy. After volunteering in a South African township for six months, I made the biggest decision of my life so far - to transform my life of travel into a productive future of inspiring, planning and creating holidays and breaks away for other people.Having lived in the Stratford upon Avon area and Evesham for most of my life, I have incredible support from friends, family and clients throughout Warwickshire and the neighbouring counties as well as worldwide.

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.

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. So, let’s turn your travel dreams into reality and discover the world with confidence and ease.

Working in travel since 1993, I bring more than 30 years of experience to every holiday I create. For over 25 of those years I have focused on leisure travel, designing everything from relaxed beach escapes and family adventures to complex, once-in-a-lifetime itineraries. I like to say I am a bit of a jack of all trades when it comes to destinations, which means my clients benefit from a broad perspective as well as deep, first-hand knowledge.I launched my Travel Counsellors business in February 2020 and today it delivers an annual turnover of more than £2 million. Corporate travel is my main area of focus, but as our business has grown, so too has our leisure offering. With our expanding team, we now have dedicated colleagues who support my leisure clients, as well as continuing to look after the travel needs of our corporate travellers and their families.Within the team we have specialists across the globe: from South Africa and the wider African continent to the Caribbean, the USA and South America, Asia and Australasia. We also have expertise across a wide range of holiday types, including ski, golf, safari, beach, luxury and premium escapes. So whether you are dreaming of a Maldivian overwater villa, a family ski trip, a self-drive through South Africa or a luxury Caribbean cruise, there will be someone in the team who knows it inside out.What originally inspired me to become a Travel Counsellor was the opportunity to build genuine relationships with my clients. By taking the time to really get to know you, I can understand what truly matters: the kind of hotels you love, how you like to travel, and the little details that make a big difference. That might be arranging a particular room type with a sunset view, planning a surprise for a special celebration, or recommending a seafront restaurant where I know from experience they serve an exceptional steak. These personal touches are simply not something an online booking website can offer.I pride myself on providing a high-touch, friendly and very personal service, handling every stage of your trip from the first idea to your return home. You will have one point of contact who knows you and your preferences, backed up by my growing team and a 24-hour UK-based duty office for those times when I am unavailable or when you need support while you are away.Travel Counsellors as a business has been recognised many times for the way we look after our customers. We are Queens Award winners for Enterprise for the third time, finalists for Luxury Homeworking Business of the Year, and were voted the best travel firm for looking after their customers during the COVID-19 pandemic by readers of MoneySavingExpert. Our strapline is “With us… it’s personal” and I am proud to live that every day, whether I am arranging a complex corporate itinerary or a much-needed family holiday.If you would like some holiday inspiration, access to the best options without the stress of searching, or simply honest advice on where to go next, I would be delighted to help you plan your perfect trip.

Cruise holidays also provide an excellent opportunity to visit many different countries whilst on one holiday. I can recommend the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and also Alaska for a cruise holiday. They offer breath-taking scenery and a good chance of spotting whales, dolphins, porpoises and more. Whatever type of holiday - whether it’s a Villa, Family, Beach, Spa, Rail, Cruise, Safari, Cities, Weddings & Honeymoons, Tailor-made, Boating, Golf, Yachts, Private Islands, Adult only, Ski & Snow or a bespoke luxury trip you are looking for.

Welcome to my page. Let me tell you a little bit about me...As a Travel Counsellor I'm passionate about travel, and working hand in hand with my clients I can tailor the perfect holiday around you – whether it be a family holiday, a bucket list trip of a lifetime wedding abroad, city break, or even a UK staycation. I just love anything out of the ordinary, and will always take on a challenge. I can also book packages with the major tour operator brands such as Jet 2. I've worked in the travel industry for over 20 years ago, starting with Thomson Holidays (now Tui) and then the good old days of teletext holidays …how things have changed! I spent 15 years as an event and wedding planner working at some of the most prestigious hotels and venues, including Weston Park in Shropshire. I have arranged over 1000 weddings and lost count of the number of private parties, corporate events and activity days. I returned to travel in 2012 specialising in weddings abroad and luxury travel, and then started my travel business with Travel Counsellors at the end of 2019. There were so many reasons why I chose Travel Counsellors as my business partner. Spanning over 25 years they are a multi-award winning company with offices worldwide and support which is second to none. Their ‘with us it's personal‘ promise struck a chord with me too. My clients are my business and I treat every booking or enquiry as if it were my own. I look after your booking right to the very end. If you need to make a change to your itinerary, or add on excursions whilst you are on holiday, I can do that for you - a true travel concierge service. I relax knowing that you have arrived safely at your destination, and then again when you arrive back home. I work from home so there are no call centres to deal with. This also means that I’m available to discuss your plans at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. I’m based in Staffordshire but have clients all around the UK. If you are close by we can meet for a chat over a coffee or glass of fizz…and for those further away then calls, emails and face to face via zoom etc is just fine.... whatever works best for you! I have access to thousands of trusted travel providers at my fingertips and as a company we continue to increase the direct contracts we have with hotels and specialist suppliers around the world. This means that I can personally tailor your plans knowing that I am working directly with the local suppliers, and ensuring that I'm securing the most competitive rates for you. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and whilst you are on holiday we also have a 24 hours Duty Office to assist with difficulties out of hours, so you are always in contact with a person. For piece of mind your holiday is also fully protected financially through ATOL. So now you know who I am, I look forward to hearing from you and sending you off on your next adventure....wherever it may be

I thoroughly enjoy dealing with my clients, forming wonderful relationships, arranging the perfect holiday for them, going that extra mile, something I have been doing for many years.Natural disasters, strikes, company failures are all part of life, and because of this, once you have booked your holiday you can sit back and relax knowing that everything is covered by the Travel Counsellor’s Complete Financial Protection.So if you need to get away, by train, boat, or plane, please give me a call and I will be happy to arrange that perfect holiday for you.

I save you time, remove the stress, and handle the details so you can focus on the excitement.
