Hello. I am Christine and I live in Berkshire in the heart of Newbury Racecourse.Some would say I am addicted to travel. I prefer to call it a passion for seeing the world, from as close to home as Cornwall to as far afield as Indonesia. When it comes to arranging my clients holidays, I am just as passionate, and get a real excitement knowing that some of them will be visiting the beautiful places I have been lucky enough to visit myself.I have been travelling the world for 40 years and been to more than 35 destinations. I can offer first hand knowledge and experience of both the East and West coast of America, Hawaii and the Caribbean islands I have stayed at or visited whilst cruising. Asia is somewhere I return to again and again and have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. I have had the most amazing experiences, visiting an elephant experience followed by the madness that is Bangkok and enjoyed white water rafting and jungle bike rides in Bali.I was also lucky enough to visit Russia way back in 1987 when life was very different. I also have a very good knowledge of Europe. If you are planning a holiday closer to home, I am also on hand to assist you with anything from UK and European weekend or city breaks and if you prefer more of a home-from-home holiday I can arrange luxury Villa holidays across Europe, Florida and the Caribbean.Being a mother of three grown up children and with two very energetic grandchildren, I can also offer personal advice on family holidays.

Hi, I’m Fergus! I’ve worked in travel for over nine years, turning my lifelong love of exploring the world into a career that lets me help others plan truly unforgettable trips. Originally from Northern Ireland – which will always have my heart – I now help clients across the UK and beyond create holidays and travel experiences that fit them perfectly. I specialise in tailor-made holidays and diving adventures, with a particular passion for South East Asia – especially the Philippines, where I’ve explored some of the most stunning dive sites on the planet. I’ve also travelled extensively through Thailand, Mexico, Egypt, North America, and the Caribbean, so I’m always happy to share first-hand tips and recommendations. Alongside leisure travel, I also look after corporate clients, ensuring their business travel is smooth, efficient, and stress-free. From coordinating complex itineraries to managing last-minute changes, I pride myself on providing clear communication and fast, reliable solutions. My corporate clients often tell me they value my thoroughness, approachability, and the confidence that everything is handled professionally. As a few of my clients have kindly said, “Fergus always finds time to listen and respond efficiently,” “he makes the whole process smooth and clearly communicated,” and “he’s very knowledgeable and always able to provide a solution.” Those words mean the world to me because they capture exactly what I aim for with every booking – friendly, professional service with a personal touch. Whether you’re planning a luxury beach break, an adventurous dive trip, or managing business travel for your team, I’d love to help make your journey effortless from start to finish.

My name is Michael, I’m a Travel Counsellor and I live in Radlett, a commuter village located between Watford and St Albans in Hertfordshire. My family have lived in Hertfordshire since at least the 1600s. That’s probably why I felt the need to escape and see a bit more of the world; travel after all broadens the mind.Sport and travel have always been passions of mine and I have combined the two by arranging and selling skiing holidays for many years and I have also been involved in running cricket and rugby tours to both the UK and Europe.I’ve been in the travel industry for over 30 years and have experienced and enjoyed many different roles so I have a great understanding of what you, the customer wants from every aspect of their holiday.From being an overseas representative in destinations as diverse as Ibiza and Switzerland and contracting hotels, apartments and villas in Cyprus, Turkey, the Canary Islands, mainland Spain, Greek Islands and many, many more fabulous holiday destinations, my main ambition has always been to ensure that everything is right for the customer!I’m often asked what my favourite holiday destination is and it is so difficult to pick just one place from all the great and varied opportunities out there. However here goes with a few favourites: for skiing I love Italy, as much for the food and atmosphere as the skiing, Australia and India are places I must visit again as there is so much more to see. I have a particular soft spot for Cyprus, its history and its people. My favourite cities must include Florence, New York, Lisbon and Sydney.I look forward to helping you visit some of your personal favourites or even better discover your own brand new “dream destination”.

Hi, my name is Rachel, thank you for visiting my webpage - I look forward to helping you with your dream holiday. As an experienced travel consultant, I know how important it is to provide a personalised service and ensure that I go the extra mile to not only meet your needs but go beyond all expectations!I currently live in Dudley having moved to the area in December 2014. I am originally from Halesowen and previously lived in Netherton for 8 years. I am happily married and have three beautiful girls so family life is very active to say the least!Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2015, I was a travel agent for a main high street travel agency for over 14 years. Starting as a modern apprentice at 16 years old, (I always knew I wanted to work in travel) I then became a travel consultant after completing NVQ levels 2 & 3 in travel services before eventually completing my management training. In the time I have been in the travel industry, I have also completed different training courses to ensure my knowledge remains in first class and, unsurprisingly, I have travelled all over the world either on my own, with work or with my family.I regularly get asked: "What is your favourite destination?". There are so many and for so many different reasons. I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean. I have a great fondness for city breaks with my husband and girls having visited, amongst others, Dublin, Barcelona, Rome, Bruges, Lapland, Iceland as well as getting engaged under the Jet d’Eau in Geneva, one of my personal favourites Reykjavik! I regularly do exclusive group led tours with myself as your guide, So far I have taken groups to Iceland several times, Finland and Italy with many more to come.Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to make it more personal for my customers and being available at convenient times for them, offering them a service that not just anybody can. It makes booking a holiday an exciting job, not a time consuming inconvenience.I would be delighted to hear from you and help to make your dreams become reality.

Hi, I’m Laura Finlay, and I’m still pinching myself that I get to call this work! I live in Greater Manchester, am married to a wonderful husband and, fun fact, I do double duty: I’m still teaching and running my Dance Studio while also channeling my lifelong passion for travel by helping others plan theirs.My journey into travel truly took flight with Emirates as Cabin Crew, where I was whisked away to countless cities and countries. Each new airport code, every culture I experienced firsthand, and the joy of serving others inspired me; sparking both wanderlust and a commitment to extraordinary customer care.Dance has been another constant in my life. For nearly twenty years, I’ve taught and managed my own Dance School and Studio. That experience has taught me to nurture creativity, precision, and joy, and those same qualities now shape the itineraries I craft. Over time, friends and clients started coming to me for travel advice, unsolicited. They trusted me to help them choose where to go, where to stay, and how to make their travel dreams feel personal and seamless. After years of doing it for those I care about, I finally decided to follow that nudge and become a Travel Counsellor - and to continue teaching dance, too!I absolutely love creating journeys that resonate deeply. Maybe you dream of the roar of lions and wide-open skies on safari in Kruger National Park, or maybe you're craving ultimate serenity in an overwater bungalow in the Maldives, where every sunrise paints the ocean. Or, perhaps, you want to wander through smaller Spanish towns, hopping from tapas bar to boutique shop, soaking up local charm. I specialise in safari adventures, luxury escapes, and family-friendly trips that feel effortless yet extraordinary.What sets my approach apart is the blend of educator and aviator: precision meets warmth. I plan with creativity and care, founded in my teaching roots, refined by years of in-flight hospitality and customer service, and rooted in authenticity. Planning should never feel overwhelming: instead, it should be about excitement, discovery, and those “yes, this is exactly what I wanted” moments. And since I still teach and run my Studio and am an independent Travel Counsellor, I deeply understand time, balance, and creating something meaningful, whether in movement or in travel: offering flexible availability to suit your schedule whilst proudly being ATOL-protected; enabling you to travel with complete peace of mind knowing that your holiday is financially secured. So simply send me an email, DM on Instagram, or give me a call: whether you're planning a family reunion, a luxury getaway, or a wildlife adventure, I'm here every step of the way, from initial chat to landing back home with lifelong memories, I can't wait to help!

Hi I'm Michael, thanks for reading my webpage.I am a travel expert based in Leeds with 37 years’ experience and I offer a bespoke service tailored to my clients' individual requirements. I arrange group, leisure and corporate travel to all parts of the world. My areas of speciality include travel to Europe, Southern Africa (especially amazing South Africa where I can offer a range of unique, sustainably focussed experiences that no one else in the UK travel trade offers), and also the Caribbean, United States & Asia. I am committed to playing my part in seeing that travel becomes more sustainable. Tourism is a key driver of many countries' economies, and we need to ensure that the benefits of it are shared fairly. In partnership with UK charity The Travel Foundation, I have undertaken training on sustainable travel practices, and conducted research into this subject in order to develop a range of tourist experiences in South Africa. These are focussed on ensuring there is the maximum possible economic benefit in the destination, and that this is shared as widely as possible. I am also recognised as a South Africa Specialist by South Africa Tourism in London. If you're looking for something a bit more personal and bespoke than what the high street chains and internet offer, and if you like the idea of having a professional look after your travel arrangements, saving you time, hassle and money. please give me a call for a chat - or send a message from the link on my webpage.Best wishesMichael

Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari. I have a team I work with here at Travel Counsellors who all specialise in different countries and products, so no matter what your dream is for your next trip, please do speak to me, so I can make sure they come true. You will also have peace of mind knowing that you have the security of booking via a reputable company like Travel Counsellors who are there for you pre trip, during and post trip and more importantly around the clock when anything unpredicatble happens.

My name is Elizabeth Shiel and I am an independent travel agent in Rotherham. I have been in the travel industry for 39 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2004 and before that I was a Senior Travel Consultant in a high street agency. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to concentrate on offering my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I have many repeat clients who have booked with me for the past 39 years and have been extremely satisfied with my service and have referred me to their Family and Friends.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. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flights, 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 cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends.With my wealth of knowledge and the holidays and cruises I have been on over the years I am sure I will be able to assist you in booking your perfect holiday.

It's Nice To Meet You Hello! I’m John. I have been a Travel Counsellor for over 5 years now. In that time, I have built a wealth of knowledge and experience about the travel industry that I use daily to help my customers. I love holidays and get a real sense of satisfaction at providing exceptional trips for my customers. WHY USE ME? My customers return to me because I really care about both the customer and customer service. I’m very easy to talk to and discuss ideas with. I pride myself on going above and beyond with every booking, taking the service to the next level. It’s the little things that count; checking you in online, the extra checks to make sure everything is in place for your arrival and that all special requests have been fulfilled and seeing what I can provide for you over and above and beyond your booking. Your holiday is not just another transaction; I am available 24/7 if you need me to sort out any query or request before, during or after travel. WHY TRAVEL COUNSELLORS? With the backing of Travel Counsellors, you are assured of a wider choice of holidays. I am not bound to any operators and I do not have targets which means my only priority is you, the customer, and making sure I find you exactly the right holiday every time. And most importantly, if you book with a Travel Counsellor, all aspects of your holiday are fully protected 100% of the time. And that's guaranteed. Travel Counsellors offer the best financial protection in the industry and it is offered free of charge to all our customers. WHAT HOLIDAYS DO I LIKE? I am asked to book all sorts of holidays and trips, but I am building a reputation for bespoke travel. This goes above and beyond the usual holidays and involves searching out solutions to personally create the right itineraries, travel and accommodation for those wanting to do something a bit different. I love an adventure; over the years I have organised my own wildlife expeditions including seeing the “Big Five” in Kenya, South Africa and Botswana as well as Black Bears in the Canadian Rockies, Orangutans in Borneo and Pandas in China. Still to do are tigers in India and Black Gorillas in Rwanda. I’ll keep you posted… So, if you like the idea of having one dedicated person manage the whole of your booking with the care and attention it deserves, I’d love to hear from you.

With a lifetime of adventurous holidays and nearly six years crafting incredible trips as a Travel Counsellor, I specialise in designing extraordinary, tailor-made journeys grounded in real expertise and personal care.Before joining Travel Counsellors, I built a 30+ year career in procurement for major organisations, including EDF, National Grid, Nationwide, The National Composite Centre (owned by Bristol University), and Clifton College. As a procurement consultant for seven years, I developed skills in negotiation, logistics, and managing complex projects—skills I now bring to every client’s itinerary.

Whilst currently London based, I divide my time between visiting friends in Yorkshire and family in Bournemouth. However, from many years of leading tours and living abroad I have clients from all across the UK and further afield, many who have travelled with me and become great friends.Thirty years ago I started working in Greece in summer, skiing in Austria in winter, then progressed to guiding tours to North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East as well as Central Europe and Italy from my base of almost 15 years close to Salzburg in Austria. Until becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over ten years as Head of Product, at niche tour operators, creating tours worldwide including tours for music and opera fans, single travellers and specialist religious pilgrimages.When asked where my favourite place I have travelled to is, that changes often as I recall many experiences and each outshines the other. When you are ready to make plans or want inspiration I will happily enthuse and bring iconic sights and descriptions of scenery to a table of ideas and add those special hidden extras and touches that you won't always find in travelogues.My belief is that a holiday or cultural experience is personal and means something different to us all. We replenish and revitalise our body, soul and mind, immerse ourselves in fascinating foreign cultures, absorb the surroundings and enrich our lives spiritually. The experiences and memories travel gives us have immeasurable value that no material possessions can offer.I'll work with you to find the perfect holiday for you. We can arrange a call, video call or a friendly chat over coffee (or something a little stronger!) to get to know one another. I believe a face-to-face meeting helps gauge your reaction to ideas and suggestions so much better.Let's spend time discussing what you and your companions want from your travels; your likes, hobbies, bucket list and any previous travel stories you wish to share. Then, armed with that understanding, utilising my knowledge from more than 30 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I will work to find or create that holiday, cruise, travel or cultural experience that is just right for you. Whether it be a bespoke specially created itinerary or an off the shelf package holiday, time away is precious and needs thought. As an independent personal Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one company or ‘preferred partners’ and have the freedom to select airlines, hotels, cruises, sights and attractions based on personal experience, previous guest and client enjoyment. All backed with full financial protection with ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best in the industry.As your personal Travel Counsellor I'll ensure you have all information you require leading up to your departure, with passport, visa and health information including any necessary updates and follow your journey until you return home ensuring you are never left ‘high and dry’ should anything unexpected occur. All this is backed by our Travel Counsellors support team who are available 24/7. Having witnessed how other tour operators or travel agents fall short in serving their guests, this award-winning support is something I am extremely proud of.Call me or email me and let's get your journey started!

After 15 years experience working in London for an award winning high street travel agency, I'm now excited to be running my own travel consultancy with Travel Counsellors.My expertise is in arranging all levels of travel for both corporate and leisure clients. This comprehensive service includes everything you would expect - flights, accommodation, tours, cruises, visa and passport information and immunisation guidelines.The aspect of my job I enjoy the most is the relationships I build with my clients, and the challenge and interest of exploring your travel requirements. During my career, I have built up a vast amount of industry knowledge and I hope to draw on this experience to assist you in your travel plans. From an initial enquiry through to a completed booking, my priority is to provide the highest level of service and to make the booking process enjoyable and personal.My initial introduction to a life in travel was in my early 20s, at a time when I had the chance to take a year off and take my time visiting Asia, Australia, New Zealand and central America. This gave me a passion that I wanted to take in to working life, so on my return I ditched other possible career plans and applied for my number one option!Having subsequently embarked on my career, I have been lucky enough to experience even more destinations, in a variety of different styles. From trekking holidays in Bhutan, Nepal and Corsica, to luxury safaris in Tanzania & Kenya, beach holidays in Thailand, Turkey and the Greek Islands, plus tours of Uganda, Lebanon, India, Brazil and Argentina. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have travelled so widely, and to take these experiences in to my work. I've enjoyed my time so much along the way, working with great colleagues and especially meeting my brilliant clients.So, if you are thinking of a future trip of any sort, please get in touch and we can look at a trip together, and I can add you to that list!

My passion for travel began at a young age when I received a world globe for my seventh birthday. I would spend hours spinning it, memorizing world capitals, and imagining the incredible destinations I hoped to visit one day. With a picture atlas in hand—long before the days of Google Maps—I developed a deep curiosity for the world that has shaped my career ever since.Originally from Southern Africa, my journey has taken me across multiple continents. I have worked on Rhine river cruises, backpacked through South America, and served as a German and Dutch translator, selling shore excursions for Carnival Cruise Lines in the Caribbean—where I also met my husband. My travels and professional experiences have led me across North America and, ultimately, to Chesterfield, where I have now settled. Throughout my career, customer service has been at the heart of everything I do. From hospitality and tourism to sales and translation, ensuring customer satisfaction has always been my top priority. I take great pride in delivering outstanding service, building strong relationships, and creating experiences that exceed expectations.As a family, we have embraced travel as a way of life. From camping across the UK and France to exploring Europe, South Africa, the United States, and Morocco, we have sought out new adventures wherever possible. Cruising has taken us through the Mediterranean, Norway, and the Caribbean, while our passion for scuba diving has led us to remarkable underwater destinations in Turkey, Australia, and, most recently, Thailand—a long-awaited bucket list experience. More recently, we have ventured into sailing, discovering the Mediterranean from a yacht, adding yet another dimension to our love for exploration.Beyond personal travel, I am passionate about using travel for a greater cause. In 2023 and 2024, I participated in charity banger rallies across Europe, raising funds for a local charity. These journeys combined adventure with philanthropy, proving that travel can be both exhilarating and deeply meaningful.Joining Travel Counsellors feels like a natural progression—a full-circle moment where I can combine my extensive travel knowledge with my dedication to exceptional customer service. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I have access to an extensive network of award-winning suppliers, enabling me to create bespoke travel experiences tailored to every client’s needs. Whether you are dreaming of a long-haul adventure, a multi-destination itinerary, a luxury cruise, a ski trip, a safari, or a relaxing all-inclusive getaway, I am committed to crafting the perfect trip for you. I understand the value of a well-planned holiday, and my role is to ensure a seamless experience from the initial inquiry to your safe return home. The same globe that first inspired my love of travel still sits in my home today—and now, I look forward to helping you plan your next unforgettable journey.“The most beautiful thing in the world is, of course, the world itself.” - Wallace Stevens

Hi, my name is Dawn Scott, and I am an independent travel agent from Edinburgh area. I joined Travel Counsellors because I wanted to give clients the very best personal service and travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have over 18 years of travel experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world. Travel Counsellors is a world leading, independent company offering 100% financial protection, 24/7 care whilst you are travelling and technology that provides personalised information about all of your bookings in real time on your app. Using the technology we have I will tailor the right holiday to your individual needs, whether it is a staycation, city break, a week in the sun or an adventure in faraway places. This means I can build your very own bespoke holiday and save you money! Which is always a bonus!Many people are still unaware that most high street agents are restricted in selling a limited number of tour operators but here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent, and this allows me to offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company. I know that our lives have become busier and not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours therefore you will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you when most travel agencies are unavailable. Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal and professional service from the comfort of your own home. If you would like any information or simply an informal chat about your future travel plans, I would be delighted to assist you.

This comprehensive service has included flights, accommodation, passport and visa information and relevant immunisation requirements.Over this period, I have built up a strong relationship not only with my clients but also with leading airlines and hotels around the world. I have an extensive knowledge of the aviation industry and how the seemingly complicated fare structures work. I pride myself on simplifying the most complicated itinerary, and will always go the extra mile to exceed my clients’ expectations and requirements.The most rewarding part of my job has been providing nothing less than the full package; an efficient, prompt, accurate and friendly service, no matter how demanding or urgent the request may be.I have travelled widely across the world, and have been lucky enough in my career to have visited many memorable places. Some of the highlights have included hot-air ballooning in Northern Queensland, sand boarding on the dunes in Namibia, viewing glaciers and camping in the High Arctic and crossing 9 time zones on the Trans Siberian Railway. Although beach holidays in the Caribbean and Oman never fail to recharge my batteries!I have lived in London all my life and am now a father of three young children, so my travel is less long-haul, and more UK and European. As a home-based Travel Counsellor I will always be on call and here to assist you with all your travel needs. I look forward to hearing from you and making your travel arrangements as seamless as possible.

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

I have worked in the travel industry for 38 years and I have an array of travel qualifications, including a postgraduate diploma in tourism from Manchester Polytechnic (1990). I can bring a wealth of experience in helping you plan the right holiday, wherever in the world that might be. I have a great library of maps and books that you are welcome to borrow at any time, or even to take away with you on your trip.I pride myself on excellent customer service and a commitment to finding the perfect holiday for you.The unique concept of having your own personal Travel Counsellor means fulfilment of your plans whatever they may be. You can call me from the comfort of your home or I can visit you to discuss your travel requirements, safe in the knowledge that you will be receiving the very best service. At Travel Counsellors we are not biased to any product, unlike the High Street travel agents who have all suffered recently due to vertical integration, redundancies, and the necessity of having to employ inexperienced staff due to the cut throat nature of this industry. Although I specialise in cruising, group skiing holidays, specialist family holidays with excellent childcare (I have 3 children of my own) and round-the-world tailor made itineraries, I have travelled extensively and can advise on any type of travel, be it a white water rafting trip on the Colorado River, Lapland for all the family, a convention in Hong Kong, a special once in a lifetime trip to Disneyworld, a honeymoon to Mauritius, wildlife viewing in the Galapagos Islands, swimming with dolphins in Bermuda or even flight-seeing over the Antarctic - I do it all ! Whatever your travel plans are, give me a call or email me and I will be more than happy to assist.With Travel Counsellors' purchasing power, for totally independent and unbiased advice, and outstanding prices, please contact me today. Thank you for your time.

Hi, I’m Julie and I’m a Travel Counsellor based near Cheltenham in the Cotswolds. Having worked in the travel and sports hospitality industry for over 25 years, I am an experienced tour operator and business and leisure travel manager, well versed in every aspect of local and International travel.As well as devising exciting, bespoke itineraries, romantic honeymoons, action-packed multi destination holidays and handling last minute business travel arrangements, I have also managed and specialised in International sports group travel.For 10 years I organised and led VIP supporters tours to various international sporting events including rugby, cricket, horseracing, tennis and golf, and have travelled extensively as a result to the Far East, Hong Kong, USA, Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. I was more recently Travel Manager for the USA Men's National rugby team (Eagles) having organised the travel for their last 2 tours to Europe and South America.Without doubt, travel is my passion in life and I am delighted to be working as an independent travel counsellor with the invaluable support of a head office that enables me to provide around-the-clock service to my clients. The last 2 years have been challenging but also incredibly encouraging helping customers throughout this period and am very proud to belong to a wonderful organisation now voted by Martin Lewis as the best agency in UK dealing with refunds and Covid issues.What is more, I am also part of our global network of experienced Travel Counsellors who are readily at hand to provide the very latest destination advice and incomparable local knowledge: from that ‘go to’ restaurant, to those special little places not so widely known to the mainstream tourist market. Whatever your reason for travel, my aim is to provide you with an exceptional experience.My own favourite destinations include the glittering slopes and après-ski glamour of Zermatt, the sparkling Amalfi Coast and the warm, soothing beaches of Barbados. My recent city break favourites have got to be New York for its high energy and sophistication; and beautiful Copenhagen for its charm, that famous Danish ‘hygge’ and a cosy café I recommend in winter for the most deliciously warming glass of gløgg.So next time you are considering your travel - be it business or pleasure – instead of trawling the internet or high street come and talk to a genuine travel enthusiast and professional who will deliver true value for money and efficiently organise every aspect of your journey. With complete peace of mind, and safe in the knowledge that I provide a 24/7 service to care for any needs you may have along the way, you will be free to really enjoy the travel experience ahead.I look forward to hearing from you.Julie.

HiThank you for visiting my webpage.My name is Emma Fillingham, I live in Telford, Shropshire and I have more than 23 years experience in the Travel Industry having worked for some of the major high street tour operators. Working in a busy high street superstore meant I wasn't able to offer the level of customer service that I believe people deserve when booking something so precious to them, plus constantly being restricted to what holidays I could sell led me to make the move to Travel Counsellors where I now work as a self-employed independent travel advisor.Travel Counsellors have major contracts in place with almost every tour operator, airline, hotel chain and travel company in the world, so whether you are looking to organise the trip of a lifetime, a round the world cruise, a short city break or a family holiday on the beach somewhere hot, I can be your personal Travel Counsellor and take care of everything for you meaning sourcing all of the best options and allowing you to book the holiday that you want and not the holiday that somebody else wants you to take. Excellent customer service has been the secret to my success in the industry, as your travel arrangements mean as much to me as they do to you. I will go that extra mile to make sure we get it absolutely perfect for you.I have travelled all over the world during my career and have been as far as New Zealand, Thailand, the Caribbean, Mexico, Florida, Egypt, Turkey and many other European countries, not to mention city breaks, cruises, and even Lapland to see Santa himself! This of course means that I have gained a lot of first-hand experience and would love to share this knowledge with you in order to make sure you get the perfect break.I have witnessed the pitfalls of booking online through sporadic websites and there is nothing worse than getting to the airport with no flight seats booked, no transfer to the hotel, or even worse no reservation at all at the hotel. It happens all the time, but not with me, as I will personally confirm everything for you prior to your departure.Please feel free to contact me when it suits you best and let me do the work for you.For me, it’s personal!Emma

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

Making Special MemoriesEveryone has a story about a fondly remembered holiday – very often more than one. These might be from childhood, a first trip to an exotic destination, or perhaps a trip to celebrate a special occasion. Whichever it is, one thing is for certain, holidays hold a special place in our hearts and minds and give us memories that we treasure.But putting together something as simple as a city break, let alone your dream trip, can be stressful. With the world to choose from – where is the perfect destination for us? What is the best way of booking it – direct or through an agent of some sort? Will my trip be financially protected? What if something goes wrong – how do I get help when I am away?These are all legitimate questions, and I help my clients by providing the answers.Let me introduce myself. My name is Neil.For the past 10 years it’s been my pleasure to help make every client’s holiday not just special, but hopefully one that they will talk about years later. I take pride in the service I deliver to achieve this, and really do care about making every trip you take as perfect as it can be.Why place your trust in me?Four decades of working in the travel industry, including managing a large tour operator and travelling the world to inspect hotels for over 20 years, has helped give me a unique insight into what makes the difference between a good holiday, and a truly memorable one.I build strong relationships with clients, and am fortunate that, through years of repeat bookings, many have become friends. As a Travel Counsellor, I set out to deliver on your detailed personal requirements, not just the generic travel arrangements. This means I take time to listen and understand what’s really important to you. I want to make sure your trip is everything you want it to be - it’s important to me both professionally and personally. I make sure I am available to discuss your requirements at any time, including in the evening and over the weekend. You can contact me by phone, email, or via social media sites. I would also be delighted to meet you at my office or in the comfort of your home. After your booking has been made, I will provide all the vital information you need for your trip to go smoothly. Once your holiday starts, I can monitor your itinerary, and remind you about important deadlines, ensuring everything is booked as it should be, leaving you to enjoy a stress free time away.So where will you go next?From a trip to the Cotswolds to a round-the-world tour, I can organise your memorable trip for you. It might take you across the world to the land of down under, or to the tropical delights of South-East Asia. You might have always wanted to see the Big Apple or the Grand Canyon. Maybe a cultural tour of Europe’s great capitals is your thing. Or is something more laid back your style – strolling along a white sand beach in the Caribbean perhaps?Whatever type of holiday you want, however large or small, I can certainly guide you. I deliver expert advice and take care of all your travel arrangements and needs; from the moment you leave home to the moment you get back. I hope to hear from you and start to help you create your next special memories.

Hello, I’m Caroline and I’m your Travel Counsellor here in beautiful Henley-on-Thames and I’m here to help build your perfect travel experience.With a genuine passion for travel and nearly 30 years working within the travel industry, I understand what providing excellent customer service entails. My customers know I am 100% committed to providing the personal level of service that they deserve. What's more, my hours are flexible so I can be available at a time to suit you and also be at the end of the phone to assist you with any emergencies while you are away. No matter what your travel needs, our award-winning technology allows me to quickly search hundreds of flights, hotels, transfers, cruises, car hire, attractions and much more, putting together tailor-made itineraries or packages at competitive prices that fit with your exact requirements. Whether its a complex tailor-made trip, a wedding or honeymoon or a large group booking, or maybe just a “fly and flop” break, I will take time to get to know you to understand your requirements, do the research for you and give you unbiased travel advice in order for your travel dreams to become a reality. My love of travel started at a very young age with a car and caravan trip around Europe visiting lakes, mountains, castles and beaches in any number of European countries. At 21, I took to the skies as a Caledonian Girl before joining BA as cabin crew covering both the long haul and short haul networks. After hanging up my wings, I worked for a high street chain of travel agents and also an independent agent specialising in luxury tailor made holidays.I feel incredibly privileged to have visited so many wonderful places. My highlights include helicopter trips around Manhattan and through the Grand Canyon, flotilla sailing holidays around the Bodrum Peninsula and Croatia, a picnic in the wine lands of South Africa as well as visiting the game reserves, skiing in the Rockies and being drenched by spray at Victoria Falls. I've swum with turtles in Barbados and dolphins in Mexico, danced to reggae in Jamaica and Salsa in Cuba. I’ve played in the casinos of Monte Carlo and Las Vegas and shopped in the souks and bazaars of Dubai, Marrakech and Istanbul. I've also cruised the Med and the Caribbean. I have two special places that I return to again and again - Lindos, Rhodes and Kalkan, Turkey and the Caribbean is somewhere I frequent regularly so I do consider myself a bit of an expert on these as well as having a vast knowledge of many, many more places around the globe. I love to put together complex itineraries such as to the Far East, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka to name just a few of the destinations where we have expert travel partners on the ground to assist with the arranging authentic experiences.At Travel Counsellors we really are a "family". We have a team at our Head Office to support us with the commercial side of things and our administration. We 100% financially protect everything we sell and we share our knowledge. The sky's definitely not the limit when it comes to where I might take you! Please get in touch to allow me to help you realise your travel dreams. Happy travelling!Yours, Caroline x
