    Hello, I am Jason and I am based in Pontefract, although most people know me from my time living in Driffield. It doesn't really matter where you are based, as I have clients based all over the UK that call on me to help them when planning their next trip.I have been working in travel for 30 years and as such have a really varied knowledge from my time working on the high street and at UK airports, before starting my own business in 2014 with Travel Counsellors and if you have a read of my reviews, you will see that I am always efficient and fast at respondingWorking from home, I have the time to create your bespoke package to anywhere in the world and specialise in multi-centre, complex itineraries using my wealth of trusted suppliers.

    Planning a holiday should be exciting, not stressful. That’s where I come in. With years of experience in the travel industry and access to an extensive network of over 2000 travel counsellors worldwide, I am here to make your dream trip a reality. Whether you're looking for a relaxing beach retreat, an adventurous safari, or an unforgettable city break, I have the insider knowledge to make it happen seamlessly.Traveling to exotic destinations can come with its own set of challenges and navigating travel logistics can be complex. You might be surprised by some of the details that can make or break a trip. Did you know that: In countries like Italy and France, hotel rooms often don’t include tea and coffee facilities as standard? Or that many hotels in the Hawaii charge resort fees payable upon arrival, something most people aren’t aware of when booking online? In Botswana, for example, many safari camps have private landing strips that aren’t listed on online booking sites, making it difficult to arrange flights without expert help. In Dubai, hotels often expect children to share beds with their parents unless an additional roll-away bed is requested in advance. And if you’re heading to South Africa for a safari, there are specific clothing restrictions to ensure you don’t disturb the wildlife. Long layovers can be an opportunity rather than an inconvenience—airports like Singapore Changi and Istanbul offer free city tours for transit passengers, a perk that many travellers are unaware of.These are the kinds of insights that make all the difference—and why having a travel expert by your side is invaluable.For those seeking unique experiences, I can help you discover unforgettable moments you might not find in a standard guidebook. Imagine waking up in Cappadocia and watching hot air balloons drift by from your terrace at sunrise. Or enjoying breakfast in Kenya while giraffes poke their heads through the windows to say hello. Perhaps you’d like to arrive in New York and take a seven minute helicopter transfer straight to Manhattan, buzzing past the Statue of Liberty? These are the kinds of experiences that turn a holiday into a lifelong memory.When you book with me, you’re not just getting a travel agent—you’re gaining a trusted partner who will take care of every detail. From checking you in and arranging restaurant reservations to organising private tours and ensuring you have a point of contact during your trip, I’ll be with you every step of the way. I only recommend destinations and experiences that meet my own high standards, ensuring that every trip I plan is one I would take myself. And if I haven’t experienced a destination personally, I go the extra mile to conduct thorough research, ensuring it fits your needs perfectly.My clients return time and time again, and I treat every holiday like it’s their dream come true. Whether you have a clear idea of where you want to go or are looking for inspiration, I am here to take the stress out of planning and create an experience that exceeds your expectations.Life is short and the world is wide. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch to plan your next adventure.

  • Lydia Sollitt

    01227 290015 Whitstable

    Do you like to travel to new places but don’t like the hassle of all the research? Or maybe you just don’t have the time? Entrust your travel plans to me instead! With over 15 years in the travel industry and a passion for exploring new places, I love nothing more than turning dreams into reality.I pride myself on a very personal and tailor-made service, always going the extra mile to ensure that I understand exactly what you are looking for, offering suggestions and then fulfilling the criteria to give you the best possible holiday. Being independent, I can be truly impartial, whilst you benefit from the unrivalled financial protection of the Travel Counsellor Financial Trust and ATOL bonding.After travelling to more than 55 countries and all seven continents, my wanderlust is stronger than ever. I am frequently asked my favourite destination - and it's impossible to answer! Suffice to say, my most memorable trip has to be South Georgia and Antarctica, for the sheer remoteness and untouched beauty, as well as the opportunity to get close to the wildlife. Closer to home, I’ve visited the USA and Canada many times and love exploring the open road on a fly drive trip, taking in as many National Parks as possible. I also frequently visit Asia, often en-route to Australia, and enjoyed experiencing the different cultures in Myanmar and Thailand; and a fly drive in South Africa left me wanting to see more of this vast country. As I said, impossible to pick just one place.Please get in touch, I’d love to hear from you. As I’m not restricted to office hours, I’m available at a time convenient for you to discuss all your travel requirements – from luxury island paradise to city break, from fly drive to escorted tour, from a safari to a cruise, from your honeymoon to the retirement trip of a lifetime.Travel can change lives - are you ready?

    Welcome to Travel Counsellors and thanks for visiting my page.I’m based in Tonbridge, Kent and I absolutely love travel, however, I can fully appreciate that booking your holiday can be time consuming, frustrating, stressful and the choice can be overwhelming; which is where I come in.My travel has taken me all over the world, with the most recent trip being a week in Sri Lanka. Last year I had a fabulous two-month tour of Japan, New Zealand and French Polynesia. Other favourite destinations in the last few years have been Antarctica (yes, it was amazing!), Costa Rica, Singapore and the Seychelles. I have had the privilege of spending a year in Australia and three months travelling in South America, visiting Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador (including the Galapagos) and Colombia. I combined backpacking with five-star hotels, trekked to Machu Picchu and boated down the Amazon - incredible experiences that will stay with me forever. I try to learn a few words everywhere I go and love to experiment with the local food, although being vegetarian, that has sometimes been slightly disastrous (especially in Japan!)I put my knowledge and experience into planning your perfect trip – whether that’s a weekend away in the UK, to a week in the sun, to the trip of a lifetime; let me take care of it to get it tailored just for you. I am an independent travel adviser and I want to get it right for each and every one of my clients, so there’s no hard sell.As well as benefitting from my expertise, you can rest assured in the knowledge that your booking will have full financial protection of Travel Counsellor’s unique Financial Trust, as well as being ATOL protected. Our 24/7 Duty Office ensures that whatever happens, you have immediate access to help and support, wherever and whenever you are.I don’t want you to come back from a holiday that I have helped with thinking ‘that was OK’ - I want to exceed expectations wherever possible and give you the fantastic time away that you deserve.

    I’m Michelle, and I work with clients who value their time and appreciate thoughtful travel planning.Based near Colchester in Essex, I work with busy professionals and families across the UK and beyond who want their holidays carefully planned, seamlessly managed, and handled with care.Now in my fourth year of running my own business in partnership with Travel Counsellors, I combine highly personal service with the strength of a multi award-winning travel company — offering 100% financial protection, ATOL cover, and 24/7 global support wherever you are in the world.But what truly sets my service apart isn’t just protection — it’s precision.My clients don’t come to me simply to book a holiday. 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

    Planning a holiday should be fun, right?If you’ve happened across my page, then I’ve probably come recommended to you (hi!), or you’re going round in circles looking for advice you can trust.I know there’s a million ways to book out there, but I also understand it can be totally over-whelming, time-sapping and infuriating.And whilst saving you from all those admin headaches is a part of what I do, having a Travel Counsellor is also about so much more…Back in 2018, after a decade working for various big names in the travel industry, I decided to take the plunge and put everything I’d learned into starting my own thing.From the off, my little business has been about personal, warm and truly human service. I’m not here for selling and targets, I’m not going to push a certain thing on you because it suits me. I’m small-scale, I know my clients by name, not by booking reference. I’ll find out about you: what you love, what you hate, what’ll make things extra special and then I’ll work to bring it to life, all wrapped up in a level of 24/7 care that you know you can rely on.So, what can I help you with? Well, the world’s your oyster, really. You might have an idea, or just an inkling of the kind of thing you’d like. I’ll take your lead and work in the best way to suit you.First and foremost, I’m a fully ATOL-protected tour operator, meaning I can design you anything and everything with complete financial peace of mind. Whether that’s a city or a beach break, an ocean or river cruise, or a complex multi-centre adventure, I’ll suggest locations, hand-pick hotels and tweak and tailor until it’s just right for you.I’m also an independent travel agent, so, depending on what you fancy, I can help you choose from a wide choice of tried and trusted third party suppliers too. That means I’ll do all the legwork to compare the options, and present you with a whittled down list of what works and why.I’ve found that you can’t have this conversation without talking about price. I’m always completely transparent that while my prices are fair, I’m not here to try and beat online or DIY arrangements where there’s little to no care, service or protection involved. However, with direct relationships with a whole world of hotels, airlines, cruise companies, adventure specialists, experience providers and much more, I’ll work my socks off to get the right thing, at the right budget. If you’re not sure if I can help, please just ask. I’ll always give you an honest answer.Ready to stop reading, and start planning? I’d love to help. I’ll work flexibly around you, so get in touch and we can arrange a time to chat.

    0141 530 1530 Glasgow

    Hi, I am Lesley Hill and a Travel Counsellor proud to be based in my home city of Glasgow, where I live with my husband and two daughters. I cannot wait to create amazing holidays and bespoke itineraries to turn your travel dreams into realityMy passion for travel started at a young age, when I went on a swimming club exchange to Orlando, Florida aged 11. I realised there was a whole world out there waiting to be explored. As a student, I then spent two summers working and travelling across Canada and spent a month backpacking on the Amtrak in the USA. At this point I was well and truly hooked and knew I wanted to have a career in the travel industry. Prior to becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked for over 20 years with an award winning high street travel agent. During this time, I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience so I know what it takes to make a fantastic holiday. From different airlines, routes and stopovers, to luxury accommodation and tours, I can advise with ease. I have a high repeat client base and pride myself in offering the personal touch and attention to detail. I very much value these relationships and hope to develop many more in the future. I have also been lucky enough to experience some amazing places. From trekking to Annapurna base camp in Nepal, diving with seals in the Galapagos, watching the sunrise over Malaysia from the top of Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, to driving through the Namibian dessert in a 4x4 on my honeymoon. No matter what you are looking for I can organise anything from a short European city break, a surprise visit to see Santa in Lapland, a Cruise in the Caribbean, a motorhome holiday in the USA, a multi-centre Australia and New Zealand itinerary or just a fly and flop beach break in Mauritius. I will get to know you and your requirements and make the experience a happy and enjoyable one. As your own personal Travel Counsellor, I can be totally flexible and available whenever suits you. If evenings work better – then give me a call. Being independent means I can offer a great selection of products, a great price as well as full financial protection and back-up including the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. I look forward to hearing from you and being able to create your perfect holiday and turn those dreams into reality.

I have worked very closely over the years with Disney, Universal and SeaWorld and would be absolutely delighted to create you a bespoke itinerary for your Florida adventure as I know only too well what a daunting experience this can be for first-time visitors. I am also no stranger to New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Dallas, Chicago and even St Louis (and yes, I did lie beneath the arch)!But of course, it’s not all about the USA, Europe is another big favourite of mine – particularly Spain, France (where I was lucky enough to study) and the Greek Islands. I also visited for the first time this year Mexico and it was certainly love at first sight. Those beaches just blow your mind! In fact, if you are looking for something special in Mexico I will let you into a little secret - please just ask and I will be delighted to share!So hopefully you can sense I am passionate about travel and nothing would give me more pleasure than to create the perfect, bespoke holiday package just for you.

    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.

    Kate Rouse

    01564 320025 Henley-in-Arden

    Kate Rouse – Luxury Travel Specialist & Bespoke Itinerary ExpertI always knew I wanted to travel. Perhaps it was growing up in a small Warwickshire village that felt like the middle of nowhere, but the bright lights of the world called to me from an early age. At 17, I convinced my somewhat bemused parents that working for British Airways on a YTS scheme (showing my age here!) was the best decision I could make. And I was right.Sure, Birmingham Airport in the 80s was more “hut in a field” than glamorous international hub, but I didn’t care. I was in my uniform, working in travel, and I never looked back. That first step with BA led to hotels, then to overseas roles, and before I knew it, I was living and working in some of the world’s most fascinating places—Spain, Cyprus, Dubai, Cairo, Aruba, and most recently, Portugal, where I spent 15 years. While most people dream of retiring abroad, I did things in reverse—building a career across the globe before returning to the UK to be closer to family, friends, and to launch my Travel Counsellors franchise.Experience That TravelsDecades of international experience have given me an insider’s perspective on luxury travel—the highs, the hidden gems, the unexpected hurdles. I understand what truly happens when you step off a plane in a new country, and why careful planning and attention to detail can mean the difference between a trip and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My approach is simple: you relax, I do the worrying. It’s in my DNA. While I am naturally optimistic, I am also a worst-case-scenario planner, ensuring every trip has a Plan B, so you never have to think about it.That’s why Travel Counsellors was a perfect fit for me. Their ‘No ifs, no buts, 100% financial protection’ gives my clients complete peace of mind. Who wants to travel and worry? Not on my watch.Luxury, Bespoke & BeyondMy expertise lies in bespoke, high-end travel, with a particular love for crafting complex itineraries that become treasured memories. I specialise in multi-generational trips, ensuring that everyone, from toddlers to grandparents, has a seamless and unforgettable experience. Having run an exclusive events and catering company in Portugal, I know first-hand what it takes to deliver five-star service to discerning clients and how the smallest details elevate a holiday from great to exceptional.Cruising the WorldI love cruising. It’s one of the most extraordinary ways to travel, and I’ve had the privilege of experiencing cruises across the globe. Whether it’s the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, or the Norwegian fjords, I know how to match you with the perfect ship and itinerary.Bucket List MustAnd then there’s Egypt—a destination that holds a special place in my heart. If you do just one thing in your lifetime, make it a Nile cruise. Egypt is a contradiction—busy, chaotic, and overwhelming, yet utterly spellbinding, steeped in mystery and history that takes your breath away. Imagine drifting along the Nile, watching temples glow at sunset, or floating in a hot air balloon over the Valley of the Kings as the sun rises—it’s magic. And I know exactly how to make it your magic.Let’s Plan Your Next AdventureLuxury travel should be exciting, seamless, and stress-free—and that’s exactly what I deliver.

    Tracy Hendricks

    01502 770 003 Suffolk

    Welcome, I am Tracy, your personal Travel Counsellor on the sunny Suffolk coast. A childhood spent living in Germany meant that hopping across borders into neighbouring countries quickly became a way of life, and those early journeys across Europe and into Asia are where my love of travel and different cultures truly began. From backpacking through Australia and exploring the Far East, to discovering the Caribbean, Canada and the Middle East, travel has always been at the heart of my story and continues to inspire everything I do for my clients today.I spent more than 30 years working as a Finance Manager in the private sector, including over 25 years in the travel and tourism industry, so I bring a unique blend of insider knowledge, commercial understanding and meticulous organisation to every trip I design. In 2020 I decided to turn my lifelong passion into my full‑time profession and, for the past five years, I have been creating carefully tailored holidays as a Travel Counsellor. I combine a genuine love of discovering new places, people and flavours with a detail‑driven, numbers‑savvy approach that keeps your plans running smoothly from the first idea to your return home. I understand both the joy and the juggle of travelling with children from my own family adventures with my son Tommy, and I also share my husband’s enthusiasm for long‑haul escapes, culture‑rich city breaks and a growing love of F1 and walking holidays (honestly that's something I thought I would never say).When you plan your holiday with me, it is all about you. I take the time to listen to what you truly want from your time away, whether that is relaxation, adventure, culture, family connection or a little of everything. I will get to know how you like to travel, what matters most to you and what will transform a good holiday into a trip you will talk about for years. Every itinerary is designed around your needs, with thoughtful touches and professional guidance at every step, and I will be here to support you before you go, while you are away and once you are home again. My aim is simple: to take the stress out of planning so that all you feel is the excitement of your next journey and the pleasure of making unforgettable memories.If you are ready to start imagining your next escape, I would be delighted to help bring your travel dreams to life.

    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 joined Travel Counsellors in 2001 as I wanted to offer my clients impartial travel advice and obtain more job satisfaction by working for myself.

Here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent and our state of the art technology allows me to search through a huge range of travel possibilities so that I can match my customer’s requirements exactly.Working for Travel Counsellors has allowed me to indulge my passion for travel and also to dedicate more time to my clients. People are often surprised to know that they can contact me at evenings or weekends, I believe it is important that my clients can discuss their holiday arrangements with me at a time that suits them. I believe that booking your holiday should be an enjoyable and exciting experience. My customers are always saying how delighted they are to find someone who will take the time to listen to them and offer suggestions, without rushing them into a hasty decision. I will do everything in my power to make sure that your travel goes according to plan, and have been rated 100% on our customer service surveys.One of my favourite destinations is Thailand and my ideal holiday would be a two or three centre holiday in the Far East. I have travelled widely to many destinations, including America, Kenya, India, Cuba, St Lucia, British Virgin Islands, Vietnam, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Australia, Fiji, Indonesia, European countries and most recently have travelled to Zanzibar in Tanzania.I offer the very highest level of customer service, so don't leave your holiday to chance.

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

    Are you ready for a journey that combines travel, culture, and great food? If you love discovering new places and flavours, I’d love to help you plan an experience that brings them all together. I’m an experienced traveller and hospitality event planner with a passion for exploring the world and enjoying its many cuisines. My goal is to help you discover destinations in a way that feels personal, authentic, and memorable. After spending over ten years in France, I’ve had the chance to explore much of Europe, North and South America, Asia, and the Middle East. These travels have given me a deep appreciation for the connection between people, culture, and food. I create travel experiences that let you do more than just see a place—you get to truly experience it. That might mean visiting a local market, taking part in a hands-on workshop, or enjoying a private meal that showcases regional flavours. Each itinerary is designed to reflect the spirit of the destination and to make every moment special. My background in hospitality, along with my time living in the south of France and the French Alps, has shaped my approach to travel planning. I bring together culture, history, cuisine, and adventure—whether that means finding a hidden local gem, enjoying the slopes, or discovering a quiet spot away from the crowds. If you’re ready to start your next adventure—one that’s full of discovery, great food, and lasting memories—I’d love to be your guide. Let’s plan a journey that blends exploration, relaxation, and flavour in perfect balance. Get in touch, and let’s start planning your next great experience.

    Hi, my name is Jo Gardiner and I am an independent travel agent from Oxted, Surrey.I joined Travel Counsellors because I want my clients to benefit from the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice which the company firmly believes in. I have 36 years’ experience working in retail and business travel and have travelled extensively around the world.

Often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday and save you money!Many people are still not aware that most high street agents are only able to sell a limited number of tour operators. Here at Travel Counsellors we are completely independent and this enables me to really offer you the best choices while benefiting from the buying power of being part of such a large company.I know that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during working hours. You will be able to contact me at a time convenient to you, when most other travel agencies are unavailable including evenings and weekends.Taking care of even the smallest detail is what makes our service so unique. All clients will benefit from a personal, professional service from the comfort of their own home.

    01452 290 017 Gloucester

    It's safe to say that travel is my greatest passion. Having missed out on foreign travel as a child and taking my first trip to India at the age of 15, I think I've been making up for lost time ever since! Since starting my journey in high street travel at the age of 17 and working with luxury tailor made trips, private islands and villas, I have gained a wealth of knowledge over the years to help me curate your perfect travel experiences. Working as a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a highly personalised and bespoke service, allowing me to give as much care and attention into planning your holiday as I would my own. I aim to make your trip special by taking charge of the finer details and making your booking process hassle-free. Being truly independent, with a diverse choice of suppliers to hand, helps to turn your travel dreams into reality and find that unique trip that is just right for you. I can be available at a time to suit you, so for those little travel queries I am only a call away. Working with luxury villas has taken me across Europe, however, I do love to travel long haul and have been lucky enough to experience places like Bali, Thailand, Hong Kong, USA and South Africa, to name some highlights. A memorable adventure was a trip of a lifetime to Australia - a boat on Sydney harbour for New Year's Eve, surfing Bondi beach and exploring Fraser Island - now that will be a tough trip to beat! From the UK to Australia and everywhere between, no trip is too big or too small and I look forward to hearing from you. Life is about the journey... Where will your travels take you next?

    0203 432 4720 London

    Planning a holiday can feel overwhelming - from countless tabs and endless research to juggling family needs and finding the right experiences for everyone. That’s where I come in.I’m Rebecca - self-confessed travel addict and your personal guide to unforgettable holidays. Based in North London, I specialise in crafting tailor-made trips for families, professionals, and adventure seekers throughout the UK. I design holidays that are stress-free, seamless, and full of memories, ensuring every moment of your journey is perfectly planned for you. When you work with me, you’ll never have to worry about the details. I handle everything from researching destinations and finding the best flights, to booking accommodation, planning activities, and providing 24/7 support while you’re away.Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. As a child, I spent hours poring over holiday brochures, dreaming of faraway places and adventures. That curiosity never faded. Over the past two decades, I’ve explored 49 countries (and counting!), from bustling street food markets in Thailand and Vietnam, to tranquil beaches in Bali and Malaysia; from the cultural richness of India and Sri Lanka, to safaris across Southern Africa and the snow-dusted magic of Lapland. I’ve wandered through ancient cities in China, hiked dramatic landscapes in New Zealand, and gathered all the top tips you’ll need for Disney in Orlando and Paris. Each journey has deepened my understanding of what makes a holiday truly special, and what can make it stressful if not planned right.Whether it’s a luxury family escape, a small group adventure, a multi-generational trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime safari, I design holidays around your needs. I know first hand the joys and challenges of travelling with children. As a mum, I understand how family needs evolve - what works for toddlers won’t always suit teens, and different generations often have different ideas of fun. From flights that maximise sleep, to accommodation that keeps everyone comfortable, to activities that engage all ages, I make sure your trip works for every member of the family. My goal is simple: to create holidays that are as relaxing and joyful for parents as they are inspiring and exciting for children.My expertise doesn’t stop at family travel. For adventure travellers, I work closely with leading small group operators such as Intrepid Travel, G Adventures, and Exodus, with no extra cost to you when booking through me. If you prefer to set your own pace, I can tailor every detail to suit your interests and sense of adventure, from exploring hidden corners of Southeast Asia, to tracking wildlife on safari, or venturing off the beaten track in Australia or New Zealand.With 19+ years in the travel industry and nearly a decade as a Travel Counsellors, I am proud to be one of our Top 100 Gold Advisors. I combine personal insight with professional connections, giving my clients access to trusted partners, insider tips, and experiences you won’t find online. I guide you from the first spark of inspiration, right through booking, pre-travel prep, and 24/7 support while you’re away.I love what I do because it’s never just “a holiday.” It’s the laughter of a family reunited on a beach, the awe of a first safari sighting, the quiet joy of seeing your children experience a culture or adventure you’ve dreamed of for them. These moments are why I travel myself, why I keep learning, and why I’m passionate about sharing the world with my clients.So, if planning your next holiday feels overwhelming, let’s talk. I’ll listen, I’ll guide, and I’ll take care of the details so all you need to do is enjoy the journey. Call me on 0203 432 4720 or email rebecca.berzins@mytc.com and let’s start creating your next unforgettable adventure.

    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. I look forward to hearing from you!PS. Check out my adventures @ travelwithem.com @ travelwithem_tc

    Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next.

    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.
