01684 878 940Making 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. -

01273 317 319Hi, I’m Martin. I live in Hove on the south coast with my young family.My passion for travel began in the mid ‘90s with a round-the-world trip and working holiday in Australia. Since then, I’ve been fortunate enough to have travelled extensively worldwide, visiting over 50 countries along the way. My travels have taken me to places such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Borneo, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Brazil, the USA, New Zealand, Fiji, Kenya and a number of European countries too. More recently, I’ve been discovering destinations a little closer to home, such as the Canary Islands, that work very well for family holidays.Over the years, I’ve had some wonderful experiences that include watching cheetahs as the sun sets over the Masai Mara, sky-diving at the Whitsundays in Australia, taking a helicopter ride into the Grand Canyon and travelling on the tea country train through the tea plantations in Sri Lanka.Through work trips, I have first-hand experience of staying in some of the world’s finest hotels (and some more run-of-the-mill ones too!) and can pass on some great tips to ensure you get the most from your hotel choices. I have extensive flight cabin knowledge. Business or Premium Economy Class isn’t always as expensive as you may think and makes long haul travel far more enjoyable.Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, my career evolved from working in London for a ‘flights specialist’ and managing a team of 20+, to helping build a small travel ‘start-up’ into a successful travel business and more recently working for an award-winning luxury tailor-made tour operator creating privately guided tours throughout Asia. All these roles have required exceptional service levels and a very keen eye for detail. With over 25 years’ experience as a dedicated travel professional, I can offer impartial, tailored advice for your trip and great prices too! Your leisure time is very precious and I realise just how important holidays are. I take pride in providing inspirational ideas for your trip, something which will save you hours of online research. Planning a bespoke holiday itinerary can be a daunting and sometimes time-consuming experience. Leave the detail to me and I’ll ensure a stress-free, smooth running trip, and you’ll return home with amazing memories that will last a lifetime.For a no obligation quote (or just an initial chat about your holiday plans), please feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I’ll be very happy to help… -

0116 312 0030Hi, I’m Jo, your personal Travel Counsellor.I’m a complete self confessed travel fanatic, and for more than three decades I’ve been exploring the world: from backpacking through South East Asia and Fiji, immersing myself in the buzz of cities like Berlin, Budapest and Marrakesh, and soaking up sun and style in Australia and the USA. I’ve holidayed extensively across the continents, from the Caribbean to Iceland, from the Maldives to Ibiza, and The Greek Isles to Goa. It is safe to say I really do live and breathe travel.If I had to pick a favourite, it would be Thailand. The warmth of the locals (it is called the Land of Smiles for a reason) and the incredible food make it a destination I return to again and again. I am a huge foodie, so I know just how important it is to find those unforgettable flavours and authentic places to eat while you are away.I genuinely believe that going on holiday is good for the soul. Time away lets us reset, reconnect and create the kind of memories that last a lifetime.Why choose me? Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I spent 10 years working in high street retail travel, helping clients turn their holiday ideas into reality. That experience, combined with my own first-hand travels, means I can bring destinations to life and design trips that feel just right for you, your family or your business with an elevated personal touch.I also have a wealth of cruise knowledge and have sailed with lines such as Virgin Voyages, Royal Caribbean International, Celebrity Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line and Marella, whether you are a first-time cruiser or a seasoned sailor looking for something special.What it is like to work with me I am the complete opposite of booking online. My role is to give you a genuinely personal, human-to-human service. With the flexibility of working from home, you can reach me in the day, evening or at weekends, whenever it suits you.From the moment you first get in touch until you arrive home, I am here to take care of everything: from inspiration and planning, through to documentation, check-in support and in-trip assistance. I cannot quite do your packing, but I can certainly help with your holiday checklist and those all-important finishing touches.Over the years I have built fantastic relationships with trusted suppliers and hoteliers, which means I can often add extra special touches that make your trip feel truly unique.How I create your perfect trip With me, it really is personal. I take the time to get to know you and understand what you are looking for: your travel style, your must-haves, your “absolutely nots” and your wish list. You tell me where you want to go, and I will work out the best way to get you there.Whether you are dreaming of:Bespoke luxury escapes Tailor-made adventures off the beaten track Multi-centre itineraries Ski holidays Honeymoons and celebrations Sustainable stays Solo travel or group getaways Land-based holidays or cruisesI will carefully design an itinerary around you, using thousands of trusted suppliers and excellent rates to ensure great value as well as a premium experience. You deserve a holiday that feels truly special, and that is exactly what I will work to create.Every holiday I book is also 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust, so you can relax and enjoy every moment, knowing you are in safe hands.I cannot wait to hear about your exciting travel plans and to help turn them into reality.“To travel is to live.” Hans Christian Andersen -

02890 080 008Planning 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. -

It’s a huge privilege to be able to provide this happiness to my customers by working hard to fully understand their specific requirements and tailor their dream trip! **Why work with me? ** After several years spent travelling and working abroad, I developed a love of learning languages and exploring cultures. I like to get off the beaten track, absorb what a place and its people are really like, and then share this know-how with my clients. I also love to go a step further and do the little things that others don’t, like booking good spots in restaurants using my Spanish, French and Portuguese! Above all, I will always endeavour to meet or chat with you to fully understand your unique requirements so I can provide a variety of holiday options that really hit the mark. If it is not right first time, I will fine tune the search to meet your needs until I find the very best trip for you. ** How I like to work with you** I run my travel business from my home in Stockport and love to meet customers face to face whenever possible, or virtually for locations outside of Greater Manchester and the UK. I take a personal approach, so expect lots of questions aimed at understanding exactly what kind of holiday you want! What I really enjoy is getting to know people and their families so that I can take care of them and ensure they have a wonderful experience. This means I can then grow my business by asking for referrals based on doing an excellent job. ** 24/7 care and financial protection ** Travel Counsellors is a globally recognised, independent travel company offering complete financial protection (ATOL Certification) and 24/7 back-office support should you require this, from the moment of booking through to your return home. Over time, the company has gained invaluable experience of navigating major challenges, such as airline collapses, volcanic eruptions and Covid cancellations, always ensuring the customer comes first and removing the need for you to wait on never-ending calls to customer service lines! You will also have access to all the details of your holiday, as well as important travel updates and payment facilities, in the TC travel app. The app also acts as a handy record and reminder of the detail of all your trips abroad. ** Let’s connect! ** Whatever your holiday plans are, I would love to meet you and further explain the value I can add and the unique support I provide. I will save you time and ensure you get the holiday you want by drawing on both my own experience and that of my 1,900+ Travel Counsellors colleagues who are specialists in every location.

I worked very hard in this role and I was offered a fulltime position as a travel advisor and have had a very successful career in the travel industry for over 18 years. I have always been an ‘A’ performer and very proud of my achievements. My passion and attention to detail when organising my own holiday is exceptional, and I would treat any customer enquiry with the same approach and enthusiasm.

Many of my travellers choose First & Business Class and stay in 5 star & boutique hotels, but for me it is always about how your holiday feels, not just the cabin or the rating.I specialise in journeys across the Indian Ocean, Indonesia & SE Asia and the Caribbean.

I know their families, remember how old the children are and which hotels and destinations truly felt like “them”. That is not just loyalty, it is trust, and it means I can keep refining each holiday so every trip feels better than the last.Family & occasions are a big part of my world, from multi‑generational gatherings to honeymoons and milestone birthdays. I am very happy to arrange straightforward itineraries and economy flights when that is right for you, but my expertise lies in elevating the whole experience, from the way you fly to the small touches that make the journey feel special.If you are starting to think about your next escape and would like me to design a holiday that feels made just for you, please share a few details here so I can get started: https://forms.office.com/e/iUT12G7Bc2 -

01430 497520Hello, I'm Judith and I live in the beautiful village of Elmton with my partner Roy and our West Highland terriers Bettie and Rosie.If you are reading this, the chances are you are contemplating booking your perfect holiday or short break very soon. So let me tell you a little about myself.My love of travel started 27 years ago when living in Greece. I lived around the Greek islands, mainly Corfu, Kos, Crete and Rhodes. Looking after holidaymakers on their special holidays helped me to realise how important your well deserved break away is, and when returning to the UK my desire was to continue to help my customers find the perfect holiday. I worked in a high street agency for a while but quickly began to realise that customers needed an agent who could offer any holiday, anywhere in the world, at anytime of the day especially in the evening after work, an independent agent they could get to know and trust with their travel plans. I became a personal Travel Counsellor 21 years ago and have not looked back.I now create holidays anywhere in the world. I believe that your holiday should be unforgettable. Everything will be tailored to suit you. The personal contact I have with you through the booking process makes sure we miss nothing. It’s like having a friend book your holiday for you. All you need to provide is the idea, even if it is vague!I still get excited about all my customers’ travel plans, whether it be a luxury/bespoke tailor-made holiday, long haul destination, package trip, cruise or an adventure tour.As your Personal Travel Counsellor you will find that I’m refreshingly different from most other travel agents as I work from home, so I am available as times that suit you.Planning a holiday really is this easy. I am also available 24/7 whilst you are away on holiday and with the myTC app you have access to all your travel documents and my contact details in one place – great ways to give you that all important peace of mind.Please do not hesitate to call me and I will help you with your holiday requirements, or if you just need some friendly advice on your travel plans. Get to know me and you’ll love the difference I make when planning your perfect holiday. -

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. -

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.

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.

So let me tell you a little about myself...My name is Kay and I live on the beautiful North Yorkshire east coast in sunny Scarborough. I have been married to my husband John for 30 years, and we have one adult son, Jay. Being brought up in my parents’ family-run hotel, I learnt at an early age the importance of customer service. This continued throughout my career in hospitality. I have worked in 5* hotels in London and Harrogate, I was an Event Manager in Sheffield and also a Business Travel Consultant with a large manufacturing company. Here, I had to source the best and most cost-effective way of travelling from A to B, booking worldwide flights, negotiating hotel rates, trains, ferries, car hire - creating itineraries to ensure busy schedules were adhered to.I have been on interesting holidays - driven across the volcanic landscape of Fuerteventura and micro climate Gran Canaria, ridden through Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, France and Spain on a motorbike, dog-walked through stunning Southern Ireland, enjoyed family holidays in Egypt, Kos, Lanzarote, Croatia, Crete, Corfu, Cyprus, Mexico, Dubai and shared the ocean with great whites in stunning South Africa! I have trapezed with Club Med in Greece, skydived in Florida, cruised the Med and the Caribbean, driven along the PCH in California, seen the Northern Lights in Norway, lazed on beautiful Barbados and Mauritian beaches, experienced a traditional Hammam in Kalkan, enjoyed the culture of Bangkok, Koh Samui and Phuket, gambled in Vegas and swum with dolphins in Walt Disneyworld, Orlando - one of my specialist areas of the world!So why book with me? Quite simply, ‘it’s personal'. I care about ensuring your holiday is perfect from start to finish - there is no charge for my expertise and I'm available at a time to suit you including evenings and weekends. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find a bespoke holiday that suits your needs exactly. I also offer you 100% financial protection through the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust - guaranteed peace of mind. Travel Counsellors is one of the largest independent travel agencies in the UK.

01268 840133Hello, I’m Michelle, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Wickford, Essex.Travel has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Even at school I knew I wanted to work in the travel industry: the idea of discovering new destinations, cultures and experiences was simply irresistible. Over 20 years on, that same excitement is still there every time I help a client plan their next escape.I am also a specialist in Disney holidays, with first‑hand experience across multiple magical trips. I have visited Disneyland Paris several times, enjoyed unforgettable stays at Walt Disney World in Orlando and have sailed on a Disney Cruise aboard the Disney Fantasy. This means I can offer practical, tried‑and‑tested advice on everything from choosing the right resort and dining options to park planning and those extra special touches that make a Disney holiday truly memorable.Across my career I have been fortunate enough to visit some incredible destinations and stay in a variety of remarkable hotels. A real highlight was my time working with Sandals and Beaches, when I joined an educational trip to Jamaica. In just five days we visited all of their resorts: from sipping premium cocktails and relaxing by the pool to enjoying the luxury of my own butler for the day, it was a trip I will never forget.I can help with every kind of trip: a quick city break, your family’s all‑important summer holiday, a magical Disney adventure, a romantic getaway or that once‑in‑a‑lifetime escape you have always dreamed of. I will take the time to get to know you, understand what matters most, and tailor every detail so your holiday feels completely personal.All of your travel arrangements are fully financially protected, including ATOL protection and the peace of mind provided by the Travel Counsellors Trust.If you are starting to think about your next trip, I would love to hear your ideas. Feel free to get in touch for friendly, impartial advice and a personalised quote. I look forward to helping you plan your perfect journey. -

01535 211617Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.I’m Tracey Jeffrey, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Silsden, West Yorkshire, and I have spent over 35 years helping people turn their holiday ideas into memories they will treasure.I started my career in a busy high street travel agency, eventually becoming a manager for a major brand. Those years taught me a huge amount: how to really listen to what a customer wants, how to spot the little details that make a big difference, and how to solve problems calmly when things do not quite go to plan. In 2002 I chose to join Travel Counsellors so that I could offer a more personal, flexible and truly bespoke service to my own customers.Travel is not just my job, it is my passion. I love exploring the world myself and have first-hand experience of many destinations across the globe. That might mean recommending the little family-run taverna hidden away down a side street, suggesting the best time of day for that iconic viewpoint, or knowing which hotel will really suit you rather than just look good in a brochure.Over the years I have arranged all kinds of holidays: simple flight-only bookings, relaxing package breaks, cruises, complex multi-stop and round-the-world itineraries, as well as accommodation-only stays. Some trips are once-in-a-lifetime celebrations, others are much-needed weeks in the sun, but each one is important to the person travelling, and I never lose sight of that.My business is built on genuine relationships and exceptional service. I get to know my customers, their likes and dislikes, their wish lists and worries, so that I can take away the stress of planning and give them complete peace of mind. I offer independent advice, honest recommendations, and the reassurance of full financial protection through the Travel Counsellors trust.You can contact me by phone or email at a time that suits you. Whether you have a clear idea in mind or just a dream of “getting away somewhere special”, I would love to help you shape it into a holiday that feels just right for you.Let’s start planning your next adventure. -

01952 924145Hi, 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. -

01332 438717Welcome to Travel Counsellors! It's a real pleasure to introduce myself and I'm really looking forward to hearing about your travel aspirations!I had one dream as a young man: Travel the world to learn and experience as much about this beautiful planet as I possibly could. I began that quest by achieving a Diploma in Travel Studies and in the years that passed, the desire to fulfil my mission never diminished. I 'backpacked' whenever and wherever the mood took me and built my industry knowledge working extensively within the world of travel agencies, airlines and tour operations over many years. Experiencing life living in places such as Australia, Greece, Cyprus and 9 years in Spain only served to enhance this knowledge.Fast forward to present day and, as an independent Travel Counsellor, I now have the opportunity to give something back to my customers. Relying on decades of experience to help them choose, plan and execute their travel dreams is the greatest of pleasures. I care about what and where they book with me and I just love listening to their stories when they return home. Your holiday is my holiday too. My service is bespoke. It is tailored to those looking for a service that gives them an experience from the very first conversation and removes the 'transactional' nature of booking a trip. I have access to fares and pricing that are not always available to traditional agents and you're not restricted by 'pre-packaged' deals, which don't always fully cater for what you really want. Knowing that someone cares about your plans and is there for you throughout the whole process, brings you a service that is second to none.Finally, a Travel Counsellor booking is 100% financially protected. No ifs, no buts! Just peace of mind from the very beginning.Take a look at some of the great itineraries below for inspiration and/or send me a message about where your travel dreams are leading you next. I'd love the opportunity to talk with you about how I can help you turn them into a reality alongside industry leading service. -

So why choose me?A little about me…My husband thinks I am annoying because “I have been everywhere”. “Have you been to the Maldives? Have you been to Japan? ‘course you have” with a role of the eyes. Well, no, not exactly….I haven’t been everywhere just yet but I am working on it! It helps that I used to be a scuba diving instructor, an entertainment team member as well as a shore excursions manager on cruise ships for 3 years where I was lucky enough to do one of my 2 epic round the world trips. I also worked for a travel insurance company, a car hire company, a luxury cruise call centre, a well known high street travel agent and a couple of large hotel chains. Now as your personal TC, my travel experience is finally not annoying anymore! This is how I can give you advice, recommendations and put my knowledge and passion to good use. At your service. And this service comes at no extra cost to you. From Svalbard to Antarctica and twice around the world including Australia, New Zealand, the East and West Coast of the USA, French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, Fiji, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, around South America, the Caribbean as well as South Africa, India, Namibia, China, Japan and a lot of Europe too, I have been very lucky to have travelled or lived in amazing places. All these adventures slowed down when I had my first boy and suddenly, all inclusive holidays and cruises turned into just the thing I dreamt of (and needed!) so I have that kind of first-hand experience too. I am Jill, mum to Sienna, 8, and Enzo, 16, citizens of the world currently living Heybridge near the beautiful village of Maldon in Essex with my husband Leigh, now a retired firefighter and our cockapoo called Bentley. And why Travel Counsellors?With us, it's personal.From our first contact to find out all about your dream holiday to your return, I am with you all the way with 24/7 support wherever you are in the world.With us, it's also peace of mind.The Travel Counsellors Financial Trust provides 100% financial protection on everything you book with us.With us, it’s convenient too.I am available at a time that suit you as I can work from anywhere anytime.

07815 814798Hello, and welcome — I’m truly delighted you’re here.I’m Kirstie Timmins, your personal Travel Counsellor, and the person who turns “I’d love to go someday…” into “I can’t believe we’re actually doing this.” My passion is crafting beautifully personalised journeys for travellers who want more than a typical holiday — they want something thoughtful, effortless, and genuinely unforgettable.In a world full of search engines and generic “best deals,” I offer something different: a calm, considered, boutique service where your experience comes first. No endless scrolling. No overwhelm. No one-size-fits-all itineraries.We begin with a conversation — about what inspires you, the little luxuries you love, how you like to travel, and the moments that turn a trip into a treasured memory. From there, I design a bespoke itinerary shaped with intention, whether it’s a luxury cruise, a hidden-gem retreat, an immersive cultural journey, or something entirely unique to you. My service is warm, flexible, and deeply personal.Want to explore ideas over coffee? Prefer a relaxed chat at home or in your favourite local pub? Absolutely. And once your adventure begins, I’m always just a call away — whether you need reassurance, recommendations, or even directions to the airport (yes, really!).My clients don’t come to me simply to “book a holiday.” They come for peace of mind, for thoughtful detail, and for travel experiences crafted exclusively for them.If you’re dreaming of something extraordinary — something that feels elevated, meaningful, and entirely your own — I’d love to bring it to life. Shall we begin your next unforgettable escape? -

01392 770 000Hi everyone!I’m a Travel Counsellor based in Exeter, Devon in the UK.I have grown-up children. We’ve spent most of the last fifteen years in the Middle East, where my husband works, and have used both that region as well as our home in the UK as our starting and finishing point for international travel.I’ve been in the travel business for many years and previously ran my own travel website, helping clients to enjoy the best destinations available worldwide. I pride myself on my ability to communicate with people and helping them to share my enthusiasm for optimising their travel experience with the right choice of destination. Advice on how to do that cost-effectively and without loss of quality is a vital part of my service.One of my personal favourite destinations is the Caribbean. What a place! Sun, sea, sand, great attractions, both day and night, and lovely people. People who have honed to a fine art the ability to extend genuine friendliness and a welcoming way to tourists visiting their lovely tranquil countries and idyllic tropical islands.I love my work as a Travel Counsellor. The satisfaction that comes from being able to advise my clients about how to get the best from their holiday aspirations is obviously a great feeling. At the same time, however, I’m aware of the great responsibility which rests on my shoulders when seeking to ensure that disappointment isn’t an option. Most people only have a few weeks a year to get away from it all and they want to spend their hard-earned cash on the best leisure experience they can possibly get. The number of clients who have returned to me again and again has given me confidence that I must be doing something right!I’m also proud and pleased to announce that my daughter, Sophie, has now joined me in the business and is looking forward to helping me to help you even more efficiently. She’ll be doing her bit to ensure your experience from initial enquiry to your completion of a wonderful vacation is as smooth and carefree as possible.So, if you want to make the world your oyster, from cruises to sun and beach destinations, or skiing and more adventurous holidays all over the world, contact me (and Sophie!) so we can get together to get it right.“To travel is to live” – Hans Christian Andersen -

01303 830 009Travel is my passion, and I am so pleased you have taken the time to visit my page.I am Bianca, a travel specialist with over 25 years of experience in the industry. I am self‑employed and run my own small travel business in partnership with Travel Counsellors. Since launching in 2019, I have been lucky enough to build a fantastic base of clients who return to me again and again, and I am proud to have received many 5* reviews that reflect the care I put into every holiday.My own style of travelling has evolved over the years. While I still love a relaxing break, I now tend to seek out more immersive holidays that allow me to really explore countries and their cultures, meeting local people, trying authentic food and experiencing a destination beyond the usual tourist spots. I have explored many European cities and coastlines, discovered Sri Lanka and India, relaxed in the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean, immersed myself in Thailand, enjoyed skiing trips and experienced the ease of cruising. This first‑hand experience helps me recommend the right destinations, hotels and experiences to suit you, whether you want something luxurious, adventurous or simply a well‑deserved escape in the sun.I love creating holidays that feel personal. Trips I have planned include a six‑week tailor‑made journey from Japan to New Zealand via Thailand, a tour of Malaysia, safaris, cultural adventures through Cambodia and Vietnam, family time in Florida and memorable holidays in Australia, New Zealand and across Europe. From simple short breaks to complex multi‑centre itineraries, everything is designed around what you enjoy.How I work as your Personal Travel Counsellor As an independent, self‑employed Personal Travel Counsellor, I offer a friendly, one‑to‑one service backed by the strength and security of a global travel company. I have access to thousands of trusted travel suppliers, with full ATOL protection and Travel Counsellors’ unique financial trust, so you can relax knowing your money is safe.We usually start with a relaxed phone chat, or if you prefer, we can meet for a coffee, so I can get to know you and what you are looking for, where you like to stay, the sort of pace you enjoy, any must‑see places and, of course, your budget. From there, I carefully research options and put together ideas that fit you, rather than offering a standard package. We then tweak and refine things together until the holiday feels just right. If it is not perfect the first time, I will keep looking until it is.Because this is my own small business, every enquiry genuinely matters to me. I work from home, which means I can be flexible and available when you need me. You can reach me by phone, email or messenger, and I am here to support you before you go, while you are away and when you return.My aim is simple, to take the stress out of planning and to create holidays that you look back on with a smile.

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. I have visited lots of destinations, but my stand out memories are of being in Australia in the Blue Mountains, and my drive along the coast of California from San Francisco down to Los Angeles. I have recently enjoyed a visit to Vietnam taking in Halong Bay and an amazing Mekong river cruise.I am a passionate cruise specialist and have sailed on over 40 cruises with various different cruise lines and river cruise lines, so why not let me plan your next voyage. I can advise you on the best position of cabin to suit your needs. Through my contacts in the industry, I will always try and secure any upgrades that may be available as well.I love the UK too and think this is often overlooked as a brilliant destination.

01736 370008I have been creating unforgettable travel experiences for discerning clients for more than 45 years. Since starting my career in travel in 1978, I have dedicated my professional life to helping people explore the world in comfort, safety and with complete peace of mind. With a lifetime of travel experience, I specialise in Italy, France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and touring holidays by road, rail and sea, although my clients’ travel plans extend far beyond these destinations, and often include city breaks, villa holidays and beach stays.My background spans resort, hotel and travel operations management, which means I understand travel from the inside out. During the pandemic years, and more recently the Middle East Crisis, I looked after my clients with a genuine “whatever it takes” approach: rearranging plans, securing refunds promptly and ensuring every journey was protected and as stress free as possible. Since then, my business has gone from strength to strength, with recent years becoming my best yet as a Travel Counsellor, thanks to the many clients who continue to entrust me with their most precious travel plans.Italy is my enduring passion and true area of deep expertise. I have visited 28 times, worked there across both summer and winter ski seasons, and know the country intimately: from the great cities of art to hidden hill towns, serene lakes and glamorous coastlines, wine regions, islands and mountain resorts. I have also been refreshing my Italian language skills, which helps me unlock special experiences, smooth logistics and add a richer layer of authenticity to every itinerary I design.I create tailor made journeys that often combine rail travel, iconic grand hotels, boutique hideaways, and private touring. Whether it is a chic city break by high speed train, a leisurely journey through lesser known regions by local rail, or an indulgent escape pairing multiple cities and countries, I bring together the finest routes, properties and experiences to match each client’s personal style.Rail travel is one of my great specialities. I have planned complex itineraries across Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and in Europe including Italy, Spain, France, Croatia, Montenegro and the Alps, journeys combined with carefully timed flights, private transfers and hotels to meet the budget. My clients come to me because they want seamless, beautifully paced journeys with all of the detail taken care of: connections, seat reservations, overnight stays and those special touches that turn “getting there” into a highlight of the holiday.I am also highly experienced in river cruising. From Europe’s great waterways to more far flung rivers of India, Egypt, Asia and South America, I curate itineraries that pair elegant ships with immersive shore excursions, fine dining and unhurried time to simply sit back and watch the world glide by. Many of my clients choose to combine a river cruise with pre and post stay arrangements or rail journeys, particularly in Italy and across wider Europe, which I carefully choreograph to feel like one continuous, effortless trip.My clients value my calm, knowledgeable and highly personal approach. Many come to me after feeling overwhelmed by online booking sites and conflicting information. They want someone who truly listens, understands how they like to travel and creates something that feels genuinely theirs, with every element checked, protected and thoughtfully designed. If you are dreaming of your next special trip, I would be delighted to help. Let us create a journey that feels effortless, indulgent and uniquely yours: that you will remember for years to come.#Italyexpert #japanexpert #newzealandexpert -

0118 391 3890Hello and thanks for taking the time to look me up. I've been with Travel Counsellors since 2004 and every day is a fantastic challenge which makes me enjoy my work more and more. It's such an honour to be part of such an exciting and innovative company where our ethos is firmly rooted in excellent customer service.For 18 years I specialised in Business Travel and enjoyed creating itineraries which include flights, hotels, cars, ferries and rail reservations but since joining Travel Counsellors, I now have the opportunity to put together some really exciting itineraries for leisure customers as well and my knowledge of the leisure sector is growing by the day.Of course I have done some travelling myself and have been many times to Europe. I loved the buzz of New York, the 'Summertime' feeling you get in Miami and the clean air of San Francisco. Dubai is fabulous for shopping and sizzling on the beach or relaxing in the desert. I've also been to Hong Kong where the pace never eases up and in contrast, to the Caribbean where nothing is rushed and you'd fare better if you just relaxed! I'm also an avid cruiser and have cruised with P&O, Princess, Royal Caribbean and Holland America cruise lines and this year I was on board for P&O's Azura and NCL's EPIC inaugural events. Cruising is fantastic these days and really has something for everyone. So you see, I love travelling and when I'm not, I take pleasure in arranging travel for my friends, and my clients become my friends, and I always arrange a holiday on the basis of ' would I go there'. Thanks for taking the time to read my page and get in touch when you next want your dream holiday arranged. Please feel free to contact me by phone or email.Kind regardsGill -

Elaine Simpson

01422 897490My name is Elaine Simpson: I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire with my husband, Rod Bailey, who is a retired fine art lecturer. My passion is Australia - I’ve been a Tourism Australia Premier Aussie Specialist for many years, visiting all the States and Territories in over 20 trips; plus I’m a New Zealand Kiwi specialist and an expert in Round the World journeys. Closer to home I love to sail on Star Clippers traditional sailing ships, having crossed the Med with them several times; and in the winter I avoid the British weather by retreating to Tenerife for several weeks. My 40+ years travel experience started in university travel offices which gave me an unrivalled knowledge of airline and rail routes and off-the-beaten-track destinations, as many of the students and lecturers came from, or travelled to, some far-out places! In 1989 I started my own travel agency for independent travellers and was presented to HRH Prince Charles having won a competition for start-up businesses in the Calderdale area. Late in June 2008 I closed that business down and joined Travel Counsellors, providing support and security for myself and my clients. I’ve travelled widely and have specialist accreditations also for Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai etc, so I can offer a comparable service to all regions with the extensive and highly professional support of Travel Counsellors. Despite travelling extensively, my own wish-list never gets any shorter: as well as visiting Australia and New Zealand I have spent most winters in Tenerife and have also visited India, Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Holland, Denmark, Barbados, Mexico, Thailand, the USA: and I’ll go anywhere else given half a chance! When I’m not booking travel, or travelling, I love to draw and paint and many of my pictures are inspired by the people and places I have met and seen along the way. When travelling I like to get off the beaten track and try out new experiences with a combination of action and relaxation and that is the kind of trip I excel in arranging. Therefore, whatever your idea of a good time, talk to me about it and together we’ll find the perfect trip for you! There’s a place in everyone’s life for a little self-indulgence and hedonism - we all need times to chill out - whether you find it in 5-star luxury or in a simple beach hut, I’ll go that extra mile to find the perfect place for you to relax and recharge your batteries. Whatever your travel needs I’d be delighted to help and can either meet you or arrange it via email or phone- so distance is no object in more ways than one! I look forward to hearing from you. -

With 40 years in the travel industry, I’ve had the privilege of designing unforgettable holiday experiences for clients around the world.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the globe, and together we have tips and touches that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels, -

The choice and types of holidays have changed dramatically since I started and so has how you book them, with Travel Counsellors leading the way.The popularity and selection of cruises is now immense – and so are some of the ships – but in terms of value for money, it’s an amazing holiday. I know there’s a cruise for everyone because I been on so many myself! From an uninterrupted trans-Atlantic voyage to New York, to a trip round-Britain calling at unique ports – I’ve done it! Cruises for the whole family are amazing also – there’s so much to do on the latest ships, even my hardest customers to please, my two children, agree.Gone are the days of choosing between a one or two week holiday. With Travel Counsellors I have access of hundreds of airlines and an endless list of hotels so you can have a tailor-made holiday.

My favourite trips are simple for me as a Travel Counsellor – worldwide itineraries taking in the best of Australasia, mid-haul city breaks like Dubai, once-in-a-lifetime visits to Father Christmas in Lapland and even luxury breaks in the UK.As a Travel Counsellor I have the time to get to know you, to understand what type of holiday you’re looking for (including the experiences and memories you’d like to make), and I can provide an extremely high level of service.

01865 989130Hi, I’m Charlotte and I’m a firm believer that life is better with a holiday to look forward to.I have worked in travel since 2002 and have been a Travel Counsellor since 2009. I am also proud to be a Gold Travel Counsellor, which basically means I spend most of my time doing what I love: planning amazing trips for lovely people.I live with my husband, Richard, and our two boys, Jasper and Jude (and Woody the Cocker Spaniel). As a family we know how precious time away is, whether it is a simple sunshine escape or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. I understand that every family is different, and my job is to create holidays that feel just right for yours, whatever that looks like.A few of my personal favourites:Thailand: our first big family adventure and a destination that has completely stolen my heart. Friendly people, gorgeous beaches, incredible food and so many special memories. New York: my ultimate city break. Fast-paced, full of energy and always something exciting to discover, whether it is your first visit or your fifth. Sri Lanka: my overall favourite. I fell in love with the culture, the warmth of the people, the diversity of the country and, of course, the food. One moment you are in lush tea country, the next you are on a beautiful beach or spotting wildlife. Cyprus: a destination that will always be special to me because it is where I got married.I have also been lucky enough to visit places like the Maldives, Australia, Florida, and many parts of Europe. I grab every chance I can to discover new destinations and experiences, so the holidays I design are based on real insight and up-to-date knowledge.I love hand-crafting every holiday I book but my favourite things to book are:Tailor-made and more complex itineraries Luxury family holidays and family adventure travel Honeymoons and special occasion trips Lapland and festive escapes Cruises Disney, Florida and theme park holidaysThink of me as your personal travel designer. I take the time to get to know what you love, what you are not so keen on and what would make your ideal trip feel extra special. Then I do the hard work, from researching and planning to those little details that make everything feel seamless.96% of my clients rate me 10 out of 10, and many come back to me year after year and recommend me to friends & family, which is the biggest compliment I could ask for.If you have an idea, a bucket list dream or even just a “we really need a break”, get in touch and let us start turning it into a holiday you will always remember. -

This passion and knowledge is what I bring to your adventure – working to get you exactly what you are looking for.I’ve take my children to Disney, babies through to teens. We’ve watched rockets launch from Cape Canaveral, revelled in Harry Potter and held onto our seats (literally!) on Velocicoaster in Universal Studios Orlando. When we’re rollercoastered out we’ve watched the sun set over gloriously sandy beaches in the Gulf of Mexico. Whatever your dream Disney and Florida holiday is – I can make it happen.Why stop there?Cruising – I can help you! Let’s Cruise the Caribbean and Marvel at the Mediterranean.Would you like something a bit more adventurous?Ziplining in through the Hawai’ian jungle, feeling on top of the world as you climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge or breathing in the chaotic bliss that is New York City.If you can dream it then together we can plan it.While you are away having the time of your life you can be sure that you’re in safe hands.
