Thank you for visiting my web page.I'm Julie, an independent travel agent based in Beverley, East Yorkshire - a beautiful market town famous for its Minster and racecourse. I'm originally from Sheffield, and married with two daughters. I have over 24 years of travel experience, 13 with a high street travel agent, and will only give you my honest, best advice.I have first-hand knowledge of many exciting destinations and still have many more to see. I have experience of European beaches, especially those throughout Spain, the Canaries and Turkey. I've cruised Mexico, the West Med and Adriatic. I have travelled to the West and East coasts of America - and absolutely love Florida (I can give you the best tips!)I've been to Australia, visited Perth, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne, so much to see and do, once returning via Fiji. I have been skiing in Canada, visiting Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise and Vancouver. I have travelled through Italy by rail - visiting Venice, Florence and Rome - and driven the Amalfi Coast ,Sorrento, an absolute must! I have also been to many of the Caribbean islands. Even a Sound of Music bicycle tour in Salzburg, essential for any film fan. In February this year i was lucky enough to visit India, travelling through northern India to see Shimla, Dharamshala, and the ceremony of the guards between India and Pakistan. We flew down to Jaipur, then onto Ranthambore to see the Tigers then onto the beautiful Taj Mahal. This year brings a few lovely trips , Lake Garda, River cruise along the Rhine, Malta , Vienna and Zurich...with an overnight train, this will be interesting. I love football, and have supported Sheffield United for many years, unfortunately relegated this season, lets see what the 24/25 season brings. Bramall Lane is my second home. My bucket list included Hong Kong which I visited eight years ago. It was fabulous and lived up to my expectations. Next on the list is South America, Sri Lanka and the Maldives., possibly 2025 ( obviously inbetween my football matches) I'm very passionate about all things travel and will always ensure you get the very best service and attention at all times as if it was my own holiday.If you need someone who will take great care for your holiday from beginning to end, you need look no further.

Client satisfaction is tremendously important to me and I pride myself on personal care, treating every holiday as if it were my own and going the extra mile for my clients.

My personal service will take away those doubts we all have on going somewhere new. I started in the travel industry over 25 years ago after I came back from 18 months in Australia and South East Asia/India.

Hello, and thank you for visiting my webpage. My name is Bev, and I live in Worcester Park, Surrey. I have 2 children aged 9 & 7.I have worked in travel for 23 years, the majority of which I have specialised in corporate travel. I find building up relationships with clients with whom I speak on a weekly or even daily basis to be very rewarding, but that doesn’t stop me enjoying arranging leisure travel as well where possible. Whilst working for another company, I qualified several times for the annual global ball, which I’m pleased to say put me in the top 10% of the company for sales. I’m particularly proud of an individual award for Outstanding Customer Service, something I always strive to achieve.I count myself lucky to have been able to travel extensively, the highlights of which are 3 years working in Japan and a 3-month sabbatical to South America. What I love about Travel Counsellors is the opportunity to offer flexible business hours to my clients, and be on call when they need me. The extensive range of airfares and hotel contracts gives me full confidence that I can offer the client whatever they need. Listening to clients is so important, and although I may ask a lot of questions about the nature of their travel, this is only to ensure I provide options that are relevant - I’m not just a personal search engine, I will always go out of my way to be able to offer quotes on all elements of travel, whether that be private transfers, airport assistance, hotel requests or how to book a dog on board.For the last 2 years I have won the Corporate Customer Feedback award, of which I am incredibly proud.Therefore, please feel free to contact me for further details, or even better trial our services.

Welcome - I am delighted you are here! MY GOAL To help you experience the world in a way that is completely personal to you. With a lifetime spent discovering the world, I offer far more than off-the-shelf holidays and generic travel advice. I bring authentic insights, personal experience and a genuine passion for helping you uncover those “wow” moments that make every journey truly unforgettable.MY PASSION FOR TRAVEL After studying French and German at university and spending an amazing year living in the beautiful Danube Valley, I headed off to Japan for a year where I truly learnt the joy of immersing myself in a different culture. I was lucky to be in the same prefecture as the iconic Mount Fuji from whose summit I saw the most spectacular sunrise. From there, my adventures have spanned the globe from climbing Mount Kinabalu in Borneo, snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef and trekking the Aussie Outback, exploring the stunning islands and ancient sites of Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, standing on the Great Wall of China, sipping a Singapore Sling in the iconic Raffles Hotel, marvelling at the Taj Mahal and driving coast-to-coast across the USA. I have been fortunate to venture off the typical tourist path with work too, exploring places like South Korea, Taiwan and Zimbabwe. I also have a real passion for scenic cruising and for me, there is nowhere quite as mesmerising as the Norwegian fjords.MY EXPERTISE My background first as an export sales manager and then as a global event manager means that you benefit from years of professional planning, first class customer service and meticulous attention to detail.

I love helping people plan their perfect wedding as I got married in Nissi Bay in Cyprus, so I do have a soft spot for this beautiful island and its luxurious hotels and amazing sights. My most adventurous trip though has to be when I planned an exciting and, at times, breath-taking world tour which covered parts of Asia, Australia, New Zealand and America. I have also been lucky enough to cruise down the Nile in Egypt, meet the big five on safari in Kenya, as well as take in popular destinations in Canada, the Caribbean, Dubai, Hong Kong, an throughout the Mediterranean.

I began my travel career working on the high street as a trainee travel advisor, progressing to Assistant Manager and then acting Branch Manager, working in various locations throughout UK.My passion for travel has given me a great opportunity to visit some amazing destinations and I would love to share my experiences with you. I have been fortunate to visit some inspiring travel locations such as, Austria, Switzerland, New York, The Caribbean, Mexico, Costa Rica, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Canaries, Balearics, Gambia, India, Egypt, Morocco, Seychelles, Thailand and the magical Euro Disney.I have zip lined through the treetops of Costa Rica’s rainforest, had an incredible adventure travelling through Thailand, visited the mythical Mayan ruins in Mexico, skiing in Austria and Switzerland, and made magical memories with my children watching their favourite Disney characters come to life at Euro Disney. Whether you’re after an all inclusive holiday, last minute deal or family holiday there’s an array of breaks on offer but, with our lives being increasingly busy, booking a holiday – and getting the best deal can feel like a daunting task. You could easily spend weeks searching the most suitable options, jotting down the best places to visit, trying to figure out where you’d most like to go. Sound exhausting? My role as an independent travel counsellor is to help you keep the holiday planning as stress free as possible, and don’t forget that my expert travel advice is only a phone call away. I will remain your point of contact throughout the whole booking process. I’ll be working from home, which means I’m available at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends.As a Travel Counsellor I have access to the high street tour operators, thousands of hotels, flights and experiences that affords me the flexibility to tailor make your dream holiday or build a bespoke package at a competitive price, whatever your requirements might be and at no extra cost. I have head office support and over 1800 other Travel Counsellors around the world who share their destination knowledge.Whatever you choose, you can relax knowing your money is 100% financially protected either by Atol or the Travel Counsellor financial trust, offering the best financial protection in the industry. Thank you for visiting my page. I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to helping you make some unforgettable memories.

Hi, I’m Soozie, your personal TC based in Bookham, where I live with my husband, son and our 2 dogs.Travel has been part of my life since I was young, from UK & European family holidays to more exotic adventures in the Far East and Indian Ocean. I even said “I do” in Las Vegas, followed by an unforgettable visit to the Grand Canyon, because I have always believed that travel should be personal, memorable and a little bit different. Over the last 25+ yrs in the industry, I have turned that passion into a career, helping clients create trips that feel truly special, from simple beach breaks to once‑in‑a‑lifetime journeys.My favourite destinations are hard to choose, as every trip is unique, but a few stand out. The Maldives has a big piece of my heart. The white sands, crystal‑clear water and incredible marine life are simply breath-taking. Watching manta rays glide through the water in the evening, spotting baby reef sharks at the water’s edge and snorkelling with colourful fish are memories I will never forget. Even the seaplane transfer feels like the start of the adventure as you fly over tiny islands and land beside the pristine beaches.Mauritius is another firm favourite and one of my top‑selling destinations. Here, you have stunning beaches plus the freedom to explore safely, perhaps by hiring a car and discovering waterfalls, viewpoints and local markets. It is fantastic for weddings, honeymoons and special celebrations - which I can help with.I also have a real love for the Far East. Thailand, with its delicious food, friendly people and mix of culture & beach, is always popular. I work a lot with touring and adventure holidays across Asia, India & Japan, as well as South America and bucket‑list destinations such as Antarctica.Most recently I travelled on an escorted tour of Saudi Arabia and a tour in Jordan, which were both incredible. From ancient sites and dramatic desert landscapes to warm local hospitality and lesser‑known cultural experiences, these trips have really deepened my knowledge of the Middle East. I now love helping clients who are curious about these emerging and more adventurous destinations.As a Travel Counsellor, I am part of an award‑winning company with a unique financial trust, which means everything I book is 100% financially protected. This peace of mind is one of the key reasons I chose to join Travel Counsellors. I have access to a huge range of trusted suppliers and can put together almost any kind of trip: tailor‑made itineraries, escorted tours, adventure and small‑group journeys, Indian Ocean and beach escapes, USA and city breaks, Alaska and cruise, Lapland and winter wonderland breaks, ski holidays and sports travel including cycling and golf.I am also proud to have been selected as a Tour Ambassador within Travel Counsellors, reflecting my particular expertise in touring, adventure and bucket‑list travel. I regularly train with our suppliers, keeping up to date with new tours, routes and best sellers, so I can match you with the right style and pace of trip, whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with friends or as a family.When you book through me, you support a local small business and gain your own dedicated travel expert. I save you time by doing the research, compare the options for you and design holidays that are tailored to your tastes. Many of the complex tours and combinations I create are not easily found online. I am at the end of the phone, WhatsApp or email, and for local clients I will often hand‑deliver tickets and documents where I can. I can also arrange appointments outside normal office hours to suit your schedule.I genuinely care about getting it right and I love the challenge of finding the perfect holiday, whether that is a relaxing beach, a cultural tour, an epic road trip or a once‑in‑a‑lifetime expedition. If you are starting to dream about your next escape or that big bucket‑list adventure, I would love to help bring it to life.

My name is Joanne Graham I have over 10 years of travel experience and have been passionate about travel from a very young age. I started working in travel as a children’s representative in Menorca and since then the travel bug took over and I wanted to learn more about the travel industry and to help people plan their dream holidays. I have been lucky enough to be able to travel to some fantastic destinations which I can talk about forever which also helps when recommending the perfect holidays for my customers. One place that I have always dreamed of going to is Thailand and I am constantly looking at all the different things that there are to do here. Over the years I have booked a wide spectrum of holidays and I am as passionate now as I have ever been about customer service being the most important thing to me whether I am booking a UK break or an around the world cruise my commitment and dedication to each individual customer is the same. I have done many training courses over the years and I am a specialist for Australia , Cruises and Weddings. As a Travel Counsellor I feel like I am part of a huge family of Travel knowledge and there is always someone to ask advice from which I believe is a huge bonus for customers booking with me as you are not only getting my experience but you are also getting world wide experience too.

I’m Michelle, based in Buckinghamshire near Leighton Buzzard, where I live with my partner Steve and our very pampered Bengal cat, Raj (Chief Feline Officer and professional suitcase tester).Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember — my first trip abroad was at just two years old, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Over the years I’ve lived and worked overseas and explored everywhere from Andorra to Zanzibar (and many wonderful places in between).What I love most about my job is getting to know you — your stories, your wish lists, your “one day” trips, and the little details that make a holiday truly special. I’m naturally a planner and a researcher, and I genuinely enjoy crafting trips that fit you perfectly.I don’t just book holidays — I design tailored travel experiences. Whether it’s a big celebration, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, or a much-needed escape, I take the time to understand exactly what you want and build a trip around you.Life is busy, and that’s where I come in. I save you time, remove the stress, and handle the details so you can focus on the excitement. I work flexibly around you, not just standard office hours, because travel planning shouldn’t feel like a chore squeezed into your day.As a Travel Counsellor, I’m an independent business owner backed by a global, award-winning company. That means expert support, trusted suppliers, and 100% financial protection — complete peace of mind for you and your investment.From UK breaks to Mediterranean sunshine, bucket-list safaris to tailor-made long-haul journeys, I’d love to help bring your plans to life.If you have a trip in mind — or even just the beginnings of an idea — let’s chat.Trusted Travel, Tailored for You.

Hello, I'm Liz, your local independent travel expert based in leafy Beckenham, on the borders of South London and Kent. My passion for travel started a very long time ago when my first ever job was selling Spanish package holidays. I’ve never lost that desire, that passion, for seeing and experiencing the world at large. Now, a few decades later, I am living that dream and helping my customers to explore and discover the world.My personal passion is African safari, I think it’s the sounds and smells of the bush that really get under my skin and I’m so happy planning a safari trip for a client. I love to talk about it to anyone who will care to listen. But not everyone is keen to explore the bush. Whatever your preference, I am here to help and advise and share my personal travel experiences with you. I work from a home office so I’m available to discuss your trip when it's most convenient for you and not restricted by office hours. I do home visits to suit your hours and can also be found meeting clients in the numerous local coffee bars (when we’re allowed), talking holidays over a latte.That initial chat is the most important step towards the perfect holiday. I need to spend time getting to know you so that I can craft the perfect itinerary or destination holiday for you and your family or group. My clients' travel adventures are too varied to mention them all but include dozens of African safaris, motor home tours of the Rockies in Canada, luxury tours from north to south of India, or barefoot paradise honeymoons in the islands of the Indian Ocean or Pacific islands. Skiing holidays, the Northern Lights, Antarctic cruises, the Galapagos Islands, or the Ashes in Australia, the possibilities are endless. I will cater for your every need and will do my best to help with special requests that just aren't available on-line; adjoining rooms? cruise cabin near a lift? saltwater pool? short walk to bars and restaurants? gluten free menus? …. we'll do our best.I do pride myself on attention to detail; from that first meeting through to your return home and all points in between, creating memories that last a lifetime. Call me and let’s talk holidays.

Welcome everyone. I’m Deborah and I live in South Northants close to Milton Keynes along with my husband Steve and son Sebastian.My interest in travel was sparked at the age of 12 by a school project about ancient Egypt. I was fascinated and promised myself that I would one day see this mysterious place for myself and that I would definitely have a career in travel. I have done both and have had the most amazing time working in the travel retail sector as a travel consultant and a store manager and I have won various awards both individually and as part of the teams I have been fortunate to work with over the years. Consequently I have had 40 years of holidays and work trips (all in the line of duty) and therefore have a wealth of knowledge of this wonderful world which I love to share with my customers.I have enjoyed everywhere I have visited but my favourite is Italy so much so that we have bought a little renovation project down in Puglia. Otherwise I have such special memories of family holidays to Disney, Lapland, beautiful beach breaks across most of Europe, exciting city breaks around the world, Caribbean treats, relaxing and indulgent cruises, and tailor made trips to Canada, the Far East, USA, Brazil, New Zealand and Australia. I look forward to hearing about your experiences and helping you plan your next adventure. I will work tirelessly to find the perfect holiday and look for ways to make it extra special. I will be honest and offer unbiased advice and above all I will never underestimate the size of your emotional and financial investment. I will support you throughout.So whether you are looking for a UK break, a tailor made worldwide itinerary, a city break, a relaxing week on the beach, a river or ocean cruise I would love to help you. I am available when and how it suits you. We all have different life schedules and I can work around yours.Please feel free to contact me by phone or email. The details are below. We already have our passion for travel in common so I know this will be fun.

Hi, my name is Heather and I live in Standish, Wigan with my husband and our two children. I’m an independent travel consultant, creating bespoke itineraries to dream destinations. I have over 18 years’ experience working in the travel industry as long haul cabin crew for Virgin Atlantic, a career which afforded me the opportunity to travel all over the world. Having a young family and a husband working overseas, unfortunately put an end to my globe-trotting career, however I have recently put my travel knowledge and experience towards my business as a travel counsellor, allowing me to plan and organise your holiday at a time that suits you. Throughout my career in the travel industry, I would always take pride in providing outstanding customer service with acute attention to detail to ensure my customers always received a unique experience. This mindset is at the very heart of my business. I have travelled extensively with my work and also with family and friends from exploring destinations such as Borneo, Mexico, Australia, the Caribbean and Canada to the bright lights of New York, Las Vegas and Paris. I visit Dubai frequently and love to ski in the French alps as often as I can. My children adore all things Disney and Universal which is where we have spent numerous family holidays. Last year we extended our Floridian trip with a road trip to the Florida keys and Miami. Last year, I was fortunate enough to tick off a big bucket list trip on board the world famous Orient Express, travelling in opulent style from Venice to Paris was truly the trip of a lifetime. Being a Travel Counsellor enables me to provide a tailor made travel concierge service to my clients utilising first-hand knowledge of a variety of destinations, providing both value and peace of mind for the holiday you want. I am entirely self-employed which permits me to be available when my clients need me. Whether that’s in the evening or over the weekend and you will never have to communicate with a chat bot or a call centre, I will be there for you every step of the way, from planning your trip to answering any queries you may have along the way. I can arrange bespoke multi-destination itineraries, car hire, lounge passes, attraction tickets and much, much more. All that’s left for you to do is pack your case! Being a member of the Travel Counsellor family means I have connections to hundreds of suppliers including all major tour operators as well as smaller independent suppliers which can’t be booked online. Having the backing of Travel Counsellors also means all holidays are 100% ATOL protected, clients have 24 hour access to a support team should any unexpected problems happen in resort and all payments are kept in trust until you return from your holiday. For me, creating your perfect itinerary is more than just booking a holiday, its creating memories and experiences for you and you loved ones to cherish for a lifetime. So whether you’re looking to book a city break, a road trip or something completely off the beaten track, contact me today. It will be my pleasure to make your dream holiday a reality. I look forward to talking with you soon. Heather

Holidays are: making memories, spending time together, having adventures, ticking off bucket lists exploring new environments, discovering exciting new sensations and travelling to places we once couldn't dream of…I understand that your time is precious and I offer a service that focuses on the details of your holiday to get it right for you and your travel companions - whether that be family or friends. With my years of experience in the industry and extensive travel history to places nearby and far-flung, I will add value to your holiday with personal recommendations you can't find by searching the internet.My attention to detail, passion for travel, and friendly, determined approach will ensure a smooth travel booking journey and will take the weight of "planning the perfect holiday" off your shoulders. My ultimate goal is to save you time and send you on a fantastic and memorable holiday. My collaboration with Travel Counsellors allows me the flexibility to access many different suppliers across the industry and offer you financial protection in uncertain times. This gives you peace of mind that you are in great hands, no matter what.On a more personal note, my passion for travel began whilst I was studying photography. During my time at university, I embarked on extended trips across Europe and Indonesia. Initially intent on travel photography, I spent 12 months on a round-the-world journey before realising that a career in travel - sending people on once-in-a-lifetime trips - was the way forward.Camera in hand, I have hiked the Peruvian Inca Trail, volcanoes in New Zealand and Half Dome in Yosemite alongside many other fantastic walks. I have dived the beautiful waters of Sipadan and the Gili Islands, and taken a heli-hiking trip on Mount McKinley in Alaska. I've sipped wine in vineyards from Europe to South Africa to North and South America. In more recent years I have become a Mum to two fantastic and full-of-life little boys who, alongside my husband, are now joining me on some of my travels around the world. This presents both new demands (and challenges) but I hope my passion for travel is passed on to them in the future and that their feet follow their heart as they make their own discoveries.I am based in Chelmsford, Essex and happy to meet up over a coffee to chat through your future holiday plans, or if time is short and a phone call is easier then please do get in touch to arrange a convenient time - I understand the demands of everyday life so I can be flexible and available in the evenings and on weekends, for a time that suits you.

Welcome to my website, my name is Barbara your personal Travel Counsellor. I live in Wickham Bishops Essex with my husband and our two children Erin & Haydn.From an early age I’ve always had a passion for travelling. You can't beat the feeling of getting away and discovering new places or returning to some of your favourites. I have personal experience of travelling with a young family; we have travelled to America, Singapore, Bali, Egypt, Cuba, Turkey, Spain, Greece and dived in the beautiful Maldives! I have organised and travelled on several adult only group weekends away around the UK and Europe, for those extra special couple timeouts needed from family life. Holidays are incredibly valuable snippets of time that should be treasured and memories that will be made for a lifetime! But where do you start? Where should you go? You might know what you want, but how do you find it?My job is to do all of the hard work for you!Whether you are looking for a family friendly holiday, adventures with your friends, honeymoons, skiing, a cruise, corporate travel, exploring a new city and everything in-between I will personally tailor-make it to suit your every need. I will be there for you from our first conversation to the moment you arrive home and beyond to make sure your holiday is everything you hope for and more. I treat every enquiry as if it were my own personal travel and make sure every little detail required for the holiday is arranged i.e. visas, and tourist taxes etc. so there are no nasty surprises when you arrive at your destination. I have also organised extensive corporate travel, so any work commitments can also be arranged through myself with the peace of mind that you will have 100% support throughout your time away from home.I am here to help at times to suit my clients including evenings and weekends and I will always go the extra mile to match their needs and find them their perfect travel experience. Because I am totally independent, you know that whatever you’re booking with me is the perfect match for you, with the added security of complete financial protection.

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

I would love to hear from you about your travel plans and help to build you a fabulous tailor-made trip that matches your requirements and your budget. Travel has been a passion of mine since my first package holiday abroad to Mallorca at 17. From then I knew I’d caught the bug! I was lucky enough to spend over 10 years living and working overseas for tour operators in The Balearics, Mainland Spain, Canaries, Portugal, Cyprus and Mexico. On returning to the UK I continued contracting hotels throughout mainland Europe and Scandinavia and then spent many years with travel suppliers working alongside tour operators and travel agents.I have been fortunate to have visited over 30 countries including Vietnam & Cambodia, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Botswana & Zimbabwe, Kenya, Lapland, all the Spanish islands, several islands of the Caribbean and nearly all of the Greek islands! I’ve experienced many types of travel aside from beach holidays including ski, cruises, city breaks and safaris travelling as a couple, then as a family, on business and also with groups of friends so understand the needs of all types of travellers. My personal favourites have to be Santorini for the dramatic scenery and stunning blue domes, Mykonos with its windmills and sugar cube houses (plus Shirley Valentine moments!), Mexico for its excitement, culture and beaches, Africa for its amazing wildlife and friendly people and Gran Canaria for its year-round sunshine. However you can’t beat a cruise to experience a variety of exciting destinations all in one trip!As your Travel Counsellor I have access not only to brochured holidays but a huge range of additional specialist suppliers, far greater than can be found on the High St, that will help to build your perfect experience. Life is too busy these days to spend hours trawling through various websites – Let me use our state of the art technology and my personal knowledge and experience to take care of everything for you. You can also rest assured that every penny of your spend is protected by Travel Counsellors’ unique financial protection trust.I pride myself on my personal service. I am happy to arrange a face to face meet up alongside calls and chats. I handle every aspect of your booking pre-travel and take care of seats, online check-ins and hand deliver over 95% of my clients' travel documents.So whether you’re looking for a beach break, a cruise, special celebration, a global adventure or a business trip, I look forward to hearing from you and talking through your requirements.

Hello! My name is Mark and I’m your Travel Counsellor based in Chester.On this page you will find out more about me. Why I do what I do, what my core business values are and much more!I grew up in The Netherlands and I have been very fortunate in that I have visited all 7 continents before turning 30. I have travelled in many different ways from more adventurous off the beaten track journeys, to taking it slow in gorgeous seaside resorts. I have met amazing people along the way (including my now wife!), seen the most beautiful and dramatic landscapes in New Zealand for example. I got stunned by how raw and real the wildlife is in Africa and Antarctica of course (really feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary)! And I’ve been blown away by how beautiful cultures can breathe through generations around Asia and South America, for the better..In turn travel has made me want to inspire others to see the places they dream of. To experience travel in so many ways has given me the advantage to really identify what my clients are looking for when you describe what your wish-list looks like. In Chile is where I started my career in the travel industry. I now have a vast experience in creating entire Round The World journeys, completely tailored holidays from start to finish, island retreats, Honeymoons, Safaris, active adventure holidays and more.After 7 years of experience in the travel industry, creating bespoke experiences for an abundance of happy customers, I felt it was time to really start doing it my way. Working for a high street travel company I always felt a little held back in what I was able to do for my clients, now that is a thing of the past! As your Travel Counsellor, I am impartial to any supplier and I have all the means to always go the extra mile and do right by you. I promise you the best service from our first contact, until you come back and want to plan your next experience.After all, life is about creating experiences, right?Whether you have big plans or only a small idea, let me know.

My name is Deborah and I am an independent travel agent living in Methley, a village close to Leeds, Castleford and Wakefield. I have worked in the travel industry for almost 20 years, joining Travel Counsellors in May 2006. Previously I was a manager for a high street travel agent.I feel that customers should be able to receive a high level of personal service when looking for a holiday, and unlike many high street travel agents, Travel Counsellors can deliver this. I am also able to offer you independent travel advice and will confidently offer a holiday that suits you, irrespective of the tour operator. I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week, and with the fantastic technology available to me I am able to work from home and deal with your requests at a time suitable to you.My favourite holiday was to Dubai where I visited in 2005, however I have also been on other wonderful holidays including skiing in the alps, cruising around the Caribbean, and typical family beach holidays in Spain and Portugal.

Hi everyone and welcome to my personal Travel Counsellors webpage! Fun fact: loading this up is your first step towards creating lifelong memories and the best holidays that you've ever been on.That's a pretty big claim and I'm sure there were a few eyes being rolled and some sceptical tutting, but helping you experience things that stay with you forever is why I started on this journey, it's my passion and what all of the Travel Counsellors team and suppliers fully buy in to. Caring about you and your travel companions more than you ever thought a travel agent or tour operator possibly could is what makes the business viable. If you're the kind of person that loves to research, plan & book everything themselves then why not challenge me to see if I can do better? If you don't know where to start, where you want to go, or even what a passport is then I can help with all of that. Use my expertise as little or as much as you want, and if I don't know the answer then I'll ask one of the thousands of colleagues or suppliers I have that are living, working & travelling all across the world. That's the great thing about being a Travel Counsellor - I'm totally independent. You're all different, with unique personalities and things that make you tick so I can use that to match your desires up with the perfect holiday. Remember that whatever your budget, whatever your circumstances, whatever you class as luxury, I will create trips that are for YOU at amazing value. I can create your two-week summer beach holidays, city breaks, honeymoons, cruises, stag/hen parties, road trips, safaris, back-packing, Kilimanjaro climbs, a hotel in Newport for a random FA Cup 3rd round tie and everything in between. However, if it's Disney/Universal/Orlando related then I'll be extra excited on your behalf.What about financially, can you trust me as your Travel Counsellor? Absolutely. Customer funds are held in a trust and we only work with suppliers that agree to be paid once you're home. If things aren't delivered then no ifs, no buts, your money is paid back. Packages are ATOL protected and when Covid-19 hit, guess which company was voted best by MoneySavingExpert for how they dealt with their customers during the pandemic? Travel Counsellors, and by some margin.I could type all day about what sets Travel Counsellors apart, and if you have any other questions about the business then please get in touch. Now a little bit about me. I love to be methodical and plan everything. If a spreadsheet can be made to assist then you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be creating one. This mentality has been fully invested in becoming a Travel Counsellor and should give you the confidence that each part of your itinerary is there for a very well-considered reason. In my spare time I operate a personal chauffeur service for my two wonderful kids to ensure they never miss any of their activities. You may hear me question how often the car needs filling with diesel but watching them train and play for their grassroots teams is probably my 'happy place'. As a family, we love to travel, anything from a Spanish all-inclusive, Orlando theme parks or to sporting events and gigs. We recently transformed a room within our house into a pub including a big screen, memorabilia and dart board where we spend a lot of time with our friends whilst losing to our 10-year old at darts with ever increasing regularity. My contact details can be found on this page and I can make myself available whenever suits. Want to talk holidays after you've put the kids to bed, not a problem. Fancy meeting for a brew and cake whilst going over your requirements - champion! Let's do this.

This is exactly why I offer the flexibility of evening and weekend accessibility at a time to suit you…and I can guarantee that it will always be me on the end of the line (my own holidays excepted!)

Hi, I’m Rich, Being a Travel Counsellor is my dream job. After many years travelling and living abroad, I’m now making a career out of what I love most.My passion for travel was sparked aged 8, on a family trip to Corfu. Since then I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and have lived in both Italy and the US where I stayed for 15 years, working as a real tennis professional, a career which also saw me travel extensively on the competition circuit.Travelling has shaped who I am, it’s influenced my outlook and informed my opinions. Because of that, it’s something I love sharing with other people. But, there’s a big difference between those who love to travel, and those who love to plan travel. Luckily, I love both.I partnered with Travel Counsellors because they understand that it’s the personal details that make all the difference. This global, multi-award winning company gives me the platform to do what I do best, all backed up with the security of 100% financial protection and 24/7 support.

So, if you’re ready to embark on the trip of a lifetime, then I can’t wait to hear from you. Your first step is to give me a call or send me an email and I promise to make the process fun and easy. My goal is to make sure I understand who you are and what you’re looking for, and I’ll curate a holiday especially for you. All you’ll need to do is show up at the airport with your bags packed, while I take care of the rest.

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

After being out of the travel industry for a while, it is a pleasure to be back in the industry I started in and fell in love with, especially as an Independent Travel Counsellor.I studied travel & tourism at the Bournemouth & Poole college, where a achieved a Diploma. After leaving college I worked for an independent travel agent in my home town of Swansea, gaining 10 years’ experience. Over my time working as a travel agent I was fortunate to see some fantastic places like the Canneries, Balearics, Greece, France, Finland, Germany to name a few but my favourites being the Maldives, Sri Lanka and Seychelles.Although I have been out of the travel industry, the passion has never left me. 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. We either fly out or we take the ferry and drive stopping off in places on the way down through France and Spain taking different routes each time.Being a Travel Counsellor gives me the flexibility to book your perfect holiday and give you the personal experience you won’t find with an online provider with full financial backing. Whatever your requirements weather it’ll be a London hotel or a Round the World trip I can organise it all, even visa’s and transfers.Other than travel I love my rugby, I have organised group bookings to the 6 nations games. I also booked my own tailor made trip to New Zealand for the 2011 rugby world cup and for the British & Irish Lions tour in 2017, I took my youngest son with me in 2017, he loved it.So stick a pin in a map, give me a call and see where I can take you. “I want to go to places I’ve never been before”

This is my competitive advantage as it allows my clients to have that peace of mind that should they have a query about their trip that I will be on hand to assist. Online competitors just can not offer this unparalleled service which is why I took the bold step of embarking on this journey with Travel Counsellors. They have awarded me the autonomy to add value to my customer base and in so doing, ensure that no request is too great and I will be at hand both day and night. So when you book with me, your primary concerns will be put to rest as peace of mind is what I offer and I am sure you will agree that this is paramount when making plans during such uncertain times. I am and will always be there for you as I believe that your holiday should be something to look forward to and not worry about. Where are we off to next?
