    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.

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.

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.

  • Sarah Belbin

    01629 888950 Derbyshire

    Hello and thank you for visiting my web page. With over 25 years experience working within the travel industry I can honestly say that travel is in my blood. As a child my parents lived and worked in the Middle East so together with my siblings we visited many interesting and beautiful countries and so my love affair with travel began.After graduating from University I packed my rucksack and left for America. Together with a friend we worked and travelled down the East Coast following our dreams and creating life long memories. On return to the UK I continued my adventures and applied to become a ski guide in the northern French Alps for Crystal Ski. Like many graduates before me one season led to another and following a year out travelling in Australia and New Zealand I moved to the Austrian Tyrol to work as a customer service manager for TUI Travel. This is where I met my husband and our first daughter was born in the beautiful town of Kitzbuhel. After enjoying the next couple of years surrounded by the breathtaking scenery of The Austrian Alps we made the decision to re-locate back to the UK.I continued to work for the Tui Travel Group as an agent in Matlock, Derbyshire and built up over 13 years service. In 2014 I was awarded Regional Travel Advisor of the year and began to think about broadening my horizons and setting up my own business. As a travel Counsellor I believe in offering truly independent travel advice coupled with outstanding service. Over the years I have built up lasting relationships with my customers and pride myself on designing seamless travel arrangements based on first- hand experience and extensive product knowledge. Whether it’s a fun family holiday to the Balearics, a Caribbean cruise or a bespoke tailor-made tour of China I would love to help you with your plans and bring your dreams to life. “Travel is the only thing you buy which makes you richer” AnonymousI look forward to hearing from you and being an integral part of your journey.Kind Regards Sarah

That’s easy – I’m an expert – I check holidays every day so I know what's hot and what's not! Why bother spending your time trawling through the internet when you can just let me know what you are looking for and I'll do the rest.

I treat every enquiry as if it were my own holiday – it’s important to me that my customers have a great time – I want you to come back to me… and to tell all your friends about me!

Parking problems, a busy office with long queues and an impersonal service make what should be the start of a fantastic trip, a generally disappointing experience.Well, you don't have to be disappointed anymore! I delight in making holiday dreams come true and making the whole process from start to finish as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. I have over eight years’ experience in travel and customer services, having arranged holidays to many wonderful destinations around the world. As I love to travel myself and have experienced some of my own dream holidays, I look forward to arranging yours.Whether it's a city break, family holiday, cruise, honeymoon or business trip, whatever your requirements I will do my best to exceed your expectations and provide great customer service, while fulfilling your holiday requirements even before you leave home.We now have a unique system in place which no other travel agency/tour operator has access to, which enables us to book flights, accommodation and transfers separately. This, more than often beats standard tour operator packages.I look forward to hearing from you and being your personal Travel Counsellor so give me a call or send me an email, anytime.

    0161 268 8521 Sale, Manchester

    I’m Karen and I’m an adopted northerner living in Sale, Manchester. I’m passionate about travel and love to share my experiences (and photos) and inspire others to do the same. The joke amongst my friends and family is that ‘I am always on holiday’ (if only that was true). I’m lucky to have travelled widely over the years and have been to over 50 countries. Favourite destinations include Brazil, Mexico, Japan, Australia, Italy and Spain with Cambodia having a special place in my heart as I lived there for several months whilst volunteering.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked in marketing for 25 years, for big names such as Virgin and most recently for Marketing Manchester, the tourist board promoting the city region to the world. Now it’s the other way around and I hope I can promote the world to the lovely people of Manchester (btw you don't need to live in Manchester for me to be able to help you with your travel plans). I would love to hear about your holiday ideas and what’s important and of interest to you to then enable me to create a bespoke travel itinerary. This might be a beach holiday in Europe, a short city break, a long-haul once in a lifetime trip, off the beaten track somewhere, an all-inclusive cruise and not forgetting breaks in the UK too. Flexibility and availability are important – I am available on the phone, email or to meet in person and this can be outside of ‘normal business hours’ if that suits you better. You will get great personal service from me along with the 100% financial protection of Travel Counsellors. Please get in touch to see how I can help you to plan and book your next trip. Happy holidays!

    Thank you for taking the time to find out a bit more about me.I have been in the travel industry since I left school and have been an independent travel consultant with Travel Counsellors for over 20 years. I have always had a passion for travel and with the best technology and freedom of choice, I can give you the most professional, stress free, personal service to plan and book your travel arrangements. Let me shop around for you to find the most suitable solution for your holiday plans or celebration trip. Unlike many internet sites, everything I book for you is 100% financially protected - no ifs, no buts. From a no-frills flight to an around the world itinerary, you can have complete peace of mind knowing that your money is in safe hands. During the recent Covid crisis we were voted the best company for customer refunds not once, not twice, but three times, which is a very welcome accolade. It’s not what we wanted to be known for, but when things do go wrong, we have a great track record of customer care.I am a certified Canadian Specialist & Aussie Specialist which have to be renewed each year. I have attained specialist status for most of the Caribbean Islands and numerous others for destinations and cruise lines and I'm a Disney International Agent. I have arranged weddings and honeymoons in many countries of the world with the largest being 40+ people to the Caribbean. I’m always up for a tailor-made challenge and recently I seem to be doing lots of itineraries featuring rail journeys and self-drive too.I have been to a different country for every year of my life, have cruised many times and been on-board most of the UK's favourite cruise ships. We did our first European river cruise from Budapest to Regensburg a few years ago. We visited Canada, the USA and Alaska for an epic 6 week trip in 2019. I have attended the CLIA cruise conference in Southampton to check out the new innovations in the cruise industry and I've since added ship visits to P&O's Arvia, MSC's Virtuosa, Windstar's Legend, Azamara's Onward & Virgin's Valiant Lady. I will be sailing on Celebrity APEX this year to Scandinavia - our first cruise North!Since Covid came into our lives it has certainly clipped all of our wings, but it seems to have made most of my clients more determined than ever to make the time to get away. In 2022 my first overseas adventure was a tour to Jordan - which was great fun. I was invited on Celebrity Beyond for a trade promotional weekend not long after. Our first holiday in 2022 was an Azamara cruise around Croatia - a stunning destination and a chance to find out what happens now you can't dock ships over 25,000 tons in Venice! Our last major trip of 2022 was a last minute cruise around the Greek Islands on Windstar. We always wanted to take a trip on a masted ship and it was everything we hoped for and more. We also explored Athens for a few days before flying home which was easy to do and very interesting. In 2023 we added Seville, Haarlem (Netherlands) for Floriade, the USA, Mexico, Cornwall, Devon & Cyprus. In 2024 our biggest trip was a month spent travelling around California and Canada. The highlight was the Calgary Stampede which we followed with a leisurely self drive through the Rockies and a stop on the East in Montreal. Our first trip of the year this year was to Abu Dhabi and Thailand. For each personal & client booking I make I'm planting trees through Trees4Travel to help offsets the carbon emissions generated by our travels. So far I've planted nearly 1000 trees in Kenya & Mozambique. It's not a lot in the bigger scheme of things, but it's a start to making people more aware of what they can do to help regeneration & support local communities in developing countries.For an informal chat about your travel plans - at home or away - please call me and I look forward to speaking to you soon...

    Maria Foxwell

    01761 347130 Radstock

    Hi, my name is Maria, I was born and bred in Somerset, and seem to have a strong West Country "Farmer" accent! so people tell me! I always knew since school I either wanted to a a Travel Agent or a Florist and lucky for me, I got a job in Travel at the aged of 16 and have never left the industry! From starting out working in Tour Operations putting together Tailor-made Bespoke Rugby Tours to continuing through the travel agencies on the high Street to now being a Business Owner for the last 20 years. Having my own business gives my the flexibility to work the hours that suit me and my clients and that can look like a Teams call, clients visiting my office in Midsomer Norton (by appointment) or me meeting them for coffee or a breakfast perhaps, or visiting them at home at a time that suits them. My working hours are very different each week but predominately I am in my Office itself 8.30-4.30 Mon-Fri however I work outside these hours to suit. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to some pretty amazing places in the world and have been able to take my family too. Our Girls , whom are all grown up now and young adults, have seen the world from their early ages so travelling as a family, is something I completely understand and can relate too. As the girls are grown up, My husband and I are now starting to holiday as a couple again and for one it is a lot Cheaper! The one thing I enjoy the most about having a Travel Business, is I get to see many years of a client and watch them grow. I have the Privilege to deal with couples. Solo travellers, and families throughout many years of their lives and go through the changes that life brings, such as an Honeymoon, maybe a wedding abroad, the 1st time travelling with a child/children on a family holiday, or going solo for the 1st time and also later in life taking their grandchildren away and dealing with the whole family through generations. This is what I love- building the relationships and adapting to the needs and desires of the clients at that time in their lives. I must tell you, where I've travelled (but I cant tell your a favourite as there are so many destinations that have captured my heart over the years) However Cyprus is where we got married and that will remain a special place, Morocco is the new favourite, however Croatia is also a favourite too! I love a city breaks and loved Dublin, Krakow, Barcelona and my favourite is Amsterdam!When it comes to further a field, Turks and Caicos' has the most beautiful beach I have ever seen, St Lucia, is the most stunning Island and Thailand was full of the most beautiful Culture and the Elephants were just one of those experiences I will never forget and not forgetting the glorious adventures we had in Canada too! A little about what I do in my personal life- I love watching Women's and Men's Rugby, I am a Bath supporter! I love watching F1 and have been to a few races in my time. I love cooking and a bit of gardening, Most of all, I love food and travelling and for me the two go hand in hand! If you would like to experience any of these wonderful places or experiences in the world and beyond.. do get in touch as I would love to help.

  • Hamish McInnes

    01983 897 040 Ryde

    Thank you for visiting my page. Let me introduce myself. I have worked in travel for over 36 years. I used to manage a local high street agency and I have also taught travel part-time at the Isle of Wight College.I have been fortunate to visit many countries including New Zealand, Australia, Peru, South Africa, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Argentina, Brazil, Thailand, North America and Canada plus a host of destinations closer to home.It is hard to pick my favourite destination because there are so many. All countries offer their own history, diversity and culture which is what makes travel so enriching. Each trip becomes a personal discovery. Some of my most memorable experiences include visiting Machu Picchu in Peru where I climbed Huayna Picchu (Young Mountain); another includes taking a jet-boat ride on the Shotover River and a balloon flight over the Canterbury Plains during a visit to South Island in New Zealand. Similarly, witnessing the dramatic Iguazu Falls on the Brazilian/Argentine border by helicopter rates equally as memorable.During my career, I have seen many changes within the travel industry and as an agent, it is important to adapt to these changes. In 2015 I joined Travel Counsellors to offer a more bespoke, flexible service and to be part of a network of travel professionals, where customer service is a core value.Not only am I passionate about my job I am dedicated to it. I enjoy doing the research to give my clients competitive options with reliable suppliers coupled with a more personal service. A holiday, after all, is often a considered purchase and it is important to know it is in safe hands.So whether you are planning a long-haul itinerary or a short UK break or considering an ocean cruise or a boating holiday or taking to the slopes for a winter ski trip or a relaxing get-away-from-it-all beach holiday, I am on hand to help find that holiday that best suits your needs. I have experience in arranging anything from school groups, family holidays or an emergency last-minute flight. At Travel Counsellors I have access to award-winning technology and resources and moreover, I am on hand at hours to suit you. Even if you just need impartial, unbiased advice, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

    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”.

    01282 792970 Nelson

    Hi, I’m Cara - your personal Travel Counsellor based in Nelson, Lancashire.My role is simple: to take away the stress (and hours!) of trawling the internet or queuing at the travel agents. Instead, I’ll create a holiday designed just for you, with the kind of personalised service you won’t find on the High Street. With me, you’ll always be in safe hands.I’m what’s known in Thailand as a Luk Krueng (half Thai). Growing up in a working-class town in England, in the mid-80s, my background was often seen as a little unusual. But for me, hopping on a plane to my mother’s wooden stilt family home deep in the Thai jungle was simply part of childhood. Those early adventures gave me a passion for travel that’s been with me ever since.That passion goes beyond my own suitcase - I love creating experiences for my clients that are so vivid, I can picture myself there with you. (Don’t worry, I promise I won’t sneak onto your flight or turn up at your hotel pool with a lilo in hand!) But I will be here if you need anything while you’re away, and I’ll be excited to hear all about your highlights when you return.Since my first trip to Thailand in 1987 (which even made the local headlines!), I’ve been back more than 30 times, and even spent four years teaching English there. My travels have taken me across Asia and beyond - from venturing up Mount Fuji in Japan, to exploring the awe-inspiring temples of Angkor in Cambodia, to discovering the beautiful islands of the Philippines.Other unforgettable memories include sleeping under the stars in the Dubai desert, cruising through Alaska (with a close-up grizzly bear encounter!), road-tripping across the Canadian Rockies, snowmobiling along the glaciers in Iceland, and gazing at the Milky Way under the South African sky during our safari game drive. Each one has given me memories I’ll never forget.Along the way, I’ve gained first-hand experience with airlines like Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Emirates - across both Economy and Business Class. I’ve also stayed in some incredible hotels, including the world-famous 7-star Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi.And because I know life doesn’t just happen between 9–5, I’m available evenings and weekends too. Whether by email or phone, we can chat however feels most comfortable for you.Looking forward to having a good natter and helping you plan your next adventure!

    “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” Planning your next trip away? Let me help you create your dream holiday with a bespoke and tailor-made itinerary. I pride myself on my customer service and being personal, working with you to find the best holiday for you, whilst using my knowledge and passion for travel. Hello and welcome to my page. My name is Lucie and I am originally from North Yorkshire in the UK. I recently relocated back to South Manchester, after spending 13 years in Dubai. I moved to Dubai in 2011, with my Husband, to follow our dreams of living abroad. Our son was born in Dubai 8 years ago and has also developed a passion for travel, going on his first cruise around the Mediterranean in 2019. I had a break from working in the travel industry to have my son, however, prior to that, I worked in the industry for 10 years, in various roles from Leisure to Corporate travel. I also studied an AVCE in Travel and Tourism and have lived in Germany as a child and explored Germany and other countries close by, I feel this set me on the path to having the travel bug.I went on to study German at university and lived there whilst studying. When I finished my studies, I took a year out to go backpacking around Australia and Asia. Whilst working for an international airline my Husband and I travelled to over 26 countries and over 100 cities. Travel really is my passion, and I have been lucky enough to enjoy all sorts of holidays from backpacking around Australia, to cruising the Mediterranean, to a safari in Kenya on the Masai Mara and even attending a friend’s wedding in Las Vegas. More recently we have taken up skiing as a Family. My son learnt to ski on the sunny slopes of Dubal Mall's indoor ski area, so he developed a passion for skiing. Since then, we have travelled to Azerbaijan and most recently New Jersey for ski holidays. During the pandemic we were limited in terms of travel, however we managed to experience lots of amazing staycations in Dubai. Since then, we have travelled to the Maldives, Mauritius and Ski Lanka, as well as enjoying the ski trips. Having worked in the travel industry my whole career, I have strong knowledge about various destinations and can create tailor-made packages to suit your budget, so please do get in touch with me. I look forward to hearing from you and planning your next trip!

    I have a 28 year career in the travel industry and a true passion to make sure my clients always have a wonderful and memorable experience. We are all different and how we enjoy our holidays is very different too. Some people love adventure and prefer to get off the beaten track but others like to know they can experience new countries and cultures safe in the knowledge everything is perfectly organised before they leave. Some holidays are for relaxing on a beach and others are adrenalin filled, of course many are a mix of the two and more. I tailor all holidays to the client to ensure it is right for them. Most holidays are good, its time away from the stresses of daily life and spending quality time with those we care about, but I think it is about making sure that holiday time is the very best it can be. Advancement in technology has encouraged us all to spend hours online looking at websites hoping to see the perfect option, but can this ever really compare to working with an expert who does this every day? I am lucky enough to have visited 72 countries and work in partnership with 1000’s of colleagues who have travelled extensively too so I offer real advice and experience? There is no call centre here, you only ever need to contact me and I am available pretty much 24/7. Travel Counsellors also gives your investment the highest level of financial protection in the industry so your money is always safe.If it is time for your next trip please contact me and let’s make it happen…….

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

    Hi there and thank you for taking the time to check out my webpage. Let me introduce myself, my name is Lara Jackson and I am excited to say I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Cheshire. A bit about me: I am married with 1 teenage son and as you can imagine their passion is football but mine is very much travel so the more football they do the more travelling I do (it’s only fair) meaning I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing destinations over the years.Travel has not only been my passion but fortunately it has been my profession and since leaving education 20 years ago (where does the time go?) I have worked for some of the leading travel organisations in the UK dealing with a wide variety of different travel requirements from, cheap and cheerful breaks to tailor-made holidays of a lifetime as well as more recently diversifying into business travel helping companies making the most of what they spend on travel. I have always wanted to work for myself but at the same time I wanted to ensure I had the infrastructure to make sure I could offer the best deals whilst delivering exceptional service to my clients and being part Travel Counsellors has given me the platform to do that. I always go above and beyond and particularly in these uncertain times, like me, you’ll always want to make sure you can pay for your holiday with the confidence that should anything go wrong then you are 100% financially protected.So why book with me? I’m well-travelled, what I mean by that is I have travelled to over 51 different countries and 5 continents, including; Europe, America, Hawaii, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Cook Island, Asia, Kenya, India, United Arab Emirates, Indian Ocean, Caribbean, Costa Rica and Egypt. Also if you’ve missed a connection or lost a document there’s no need to be caller number 872 on a travel website’s customer service line, I’ll be there to assist you 24/7 365 days, I’ll always endeavour to find you the best deal whether it’s a 1-stop beach holiday or for every aspect of a complicated multi-destination trip. Travel means everything to me and I know your holiday does to you, it isn’t just selling you a holiday it’s hopefully the start of a long-term relationship so whatever your needs my aim is to make your trip as simple and stress-free as possible.Thanks for considering me and hopefully look forward to speaking to you soon.

    Fiona Whitehead

    01422 270127 Yorkshire

    Welcome and thank you for taking the time to read thisBeing a Travel Counsellor has been my dream job for many years and I’ve had the privilege to be able to work in the Travel Industry for over 35 years. I remain passionate about what I do and take immense pride in serving my clients to the very best of my ability in order to meet their specific needs and wishes. Overall, I am committed to going the extra mile in order to create the perfect trip to suit their requirements. Getting to know my clients is really important to me, either by phone, Zoom or in person. This enables me to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed to put the perfect holiday together. I work very differently to the High Street and the online companies and am able to work with you at a mutually convenient time but largely at a time which suits you. I also specialise in tailor made itineraries and bespoke holidays. However, I must stress that no enquiry is too small. Being a Travel Counsellor means that I work individually so you only get myself at the end of the phone or email. In support of my personal and focused service, we have a fantastic customer service backing from Travel Counsellors Head Office. This provides the Travel Counsellors 100% financial guarantee in that all holidays are financially secured. It’s a real privilege to work with an award-winning company and for one of the largest travel providers in the UK with 5 star Trust Pilot reviews and having been established over 30 years. Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to work independently with many tour operators, and as we have a trusted and long-standing relationship with many ground handlers all over the world, I can put together those unforgettable holiday moments for you. A key part of my job is to enhance and suggest amazing and awesome moments that will stay in your memories for years to come. A few examples which I’ve worked on include arranging for clients to sit amongst 100,000 king penguins in South Georgia, to ‘live local’ on Lake Titicaca in Peru, to island hop in Indonesia or to go rafting on the Zambezi River in Zambia. I can arrange all of these experiences and so much more. In addition to holiday experiences, I have also worked closely with groups and business travelers over many years. This is an important part of my service and I often work with bespoke needs for travel across a number of continents for both short and lengthy duration trips. I have worked through many of the challenging times which have impacted countries and the travel industry. This includes the impact of 9/11, the Ash Cloud, Tsunamis and of most recently COVID-19 and related Government travel policy decisions. None of us could have imagined the level of disruption on travel which we’ve encountered. I have been able to provide advice on changes to travel, respond to client needs and navigate through the range of often complicated policy restrictions. but being available for my clients allowed me to advise and rearrange around the restrictions in place, giving them the reassurance that they are not alone.I look forward to arranging trips for this year and beyond. It is a pleasure and a privilege to do the job I do. Travel has been a huge part of my life and I would be delighted to hear from you, whatever your travel enquiry. Finally, I am reminded of the words of Saint Augustine: "The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page".I look forward to hearing from you soonThank you

As a child I was fortunate to go on some unforgettable holidays, and at the age of 8 my family emigrated to Spain and we lived in a small village just over the border from Portugal for 3 years which was one of the best experiences and where my true passion for travel and different cultures began. I was lucky enough to find a partner who was also as passionate about travel as I am and we went on a backpacking trip around Asia, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and America at the age of 20. After returning to the UK we decided we wanted to go and live in Australia, and moved to Perth where I opened a dog sitting/walking business.Since returning to the UK, I have been on a variety of different holidays from budget city breaks to luxury beach holidays, from backpacking to skiing through snowy mountains. I spend a lot of time planning and researching our holidays and have organised all the trips we have been on. I would love to share my knowledge, experience and passion for travelling with you.

My wife and I love going on city breaks, our favourites are New York and Reykjavik and for our summer holidays we love going to our family home on the Costa Blanca in Spain.

    Hi, I'm Soozie, Welcome to my webpage. I am your personal Travel Counsellor based in Bookham in Surrey where I live with my husband, son and 2 dogs Max & Dexter.I have been travelling from a young age on family holidays, then got the bug as a teenager to travel further afield to more exotic destinations such as the Far East and the Indian Ocean. I also said "I DO" in Las Vegas as we wanted to do something different, and visited the Gran Canyon which is another great experience! Favourite Destination?This one is tough as each holidays are so different but I loved the Maldives for the white sands and for the Marine life watching the Manta Rays gliding around in the water gracefully in the evening was so beautiful, and seeing baby sharks while stood at the water edge! The fish were amazing while snorkelling and beaches are stunning of course! The adventure does start on the seaplane landing on the pristine white beaches which takes your breath away..But also I think Mauritius is just as good and also one of my top sellers .. here you have the advantage of being able to hire a car and explore the island and be totally safe! Here I also sell lots of weddings. I also love the far east for culture and diversity and Thai food! So where will your favourite destination be..? I have been working in travel for over 20 years and it's always been my passion! Starting off on the High Street, until I took the plunge and worked from home, which was the best choice for me, Travel Counsellors are an award winning company, and have a unique Travel trust which means everything I book is 100% safe and my customers are covered. This is the reason I chose this company so that I have lot's of suppliers at my fingertips, I offer bespoke tailormade itineraries to a day trip to Lapland to more adventurous trips trekking in the far east or even cruising in Alaska, I also do a sporting trips too from Cycling holidays to Golf breaks & sports to the usual ski holidays.... There isn't really any holiday I can't do!Why Book Through Me ..?Not only to support a local small business but so that you don't spend tireless hours looking through the internet, most large touring holidays can't be found on the internet that I put together. Booking with me means your money is 100% financially secure, and also I am always available at the end of the phone, Wassap or email to answer questions etc, I will personally deliver tickets to you when I can if close to me, as I believe in personal service, I can arrange appointments out of normal work hours if easier for my customers too, making it more convenient for you. so rest assured your holiday is protected and your in safe hands! I have over 20 years of expertise in Travel, I use my time when not booking holidays keeping up to date with training. Ever fancied a touring holiday?I am proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador for Travel Counsellors as most of my business is adventure touring and this is where I have more expertise in the touring/adventure and bucket list destinations, I also sell lots of Indian Ocean for Beach Breaks, and USA too. I like to package these to my client's requirements, this way I can tailor to the individual customers tastes. I am currently training with suppliers weekly keeping up to date with new tours & best sellers, so from Far East, India & Japan which has been massive for 2023 bookings along with South America including the bucket list tour to Antartica. European tours Italy being the number one tour destination along with Malta we also do great tours especially for solo travellers as well as active, young customers & family to the slower paced tours. If you fancy a tour please get in touch and I can match the right tour to your needs.I am always up for a challenge to find that perfect holiday so get in touch and we can start planning that next beach holiday or an adventure overseas!“I haven’t been everywhere but it’s on my list!”

    0203 292 0199 Croydon

    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.

    Hello, I’m Jo, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Manchester.Travel has been at the heart of my life and career since I left school and joined an independent travel agency. It was there that I discovered my passion for designing thoughtful, exciting itineraries and helping clients experience the very best of the world.Over the last 18 years, I have worked across many sides of the travel industry, from front-line retail to tour operations. As a VIP Department Team Leader, I specialised in France, Ireland, Disney, and European and worldwide city breaks, as well as supporting clients through our Duty Office with any in-resort issues. This has given me a deep understanding not only of beautiful destinations, but also of how to make sure every trip runs smoothly behind the scenes.I have been fortunate to travel extensively throughout Europe, from the Balearic and Canary Islands to many of the Greek Islands, including living in Zakynthos in my younger days. Vienna and Budapest are two of my favourite cities, and I also love Paris, Amsterdam and Stockholm for their culture, food and atmosphere. Further afield, I fell in love with the dramatic beauty of the French Alps and the breathtaking landscapes of Canada, including Niagara Falls, Banff, Lake Louise and the vibrant city of Toronto. Closer to home, I have explored both Northern and Southern Ireland, discovering charming towns, coastal drives and warm hospitality.At home, I live in Manchester with my partner, who has worked in the travel industry for over 35 years, my rugby-mad 17-year-old son, and our three rescue cats: Ophelia, Bear and our newest addition, little Florence.

I will take the time to listen, understand what matters most to you, and then carefully research and curate options that truly fit.
