    Janet Tomblin

    07816 914651 Derby

    Hi, I’m Janet, based on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I am extremely passionate about travel and love nothing more than planning tailormade adventures. I have access to hundreds of suppliers and can arrange short breaks, to cruises, a family holiday in the Mediterranean to a luxury honeymoon in the Maldives. And everything I book is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust. My Filipino mother gave me the first insight into what this wonderful world has to offer, and so my travel bug started from a very young age. My travels have taken me to remote parts of the Philippines, to enjoying sunsets in South Africa, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Indonesia, Barbados, Las Vegas, New York, Italy…the list goes on.Think of me as your personal travel concierge and I will handle the whole process from start to finish. Which means all you need to worry about is packing your suitcase and remembering where your passport is. I work from home so that I can be there for my two amazing kids, which means I can be flexible to work around your schedule and am available to speak outside of the normal 9-5. Destinations on my bucket list include Sri Lanka, Mauritius and Belize – what’s on yours? I’d love to find out more and help you create your memories that will last a lifetime.

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

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

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.

    01702 490011 Attica

    Welcome — I’m Tamara, Your Personal Travel Counsellor 🌍Travel has always been an important part of my life. My passion for discovering new places and cultures began at a young age; travelling to many different places around the world with my family. My Dad was a tour operator and an excellent holiday planner! We travelled all over the Middle East, the UK, USA and Europe. Every destination brought unforgettable memories. I have many memories of visiting unique places, being immersed in stunning landscapes, connecting with our family who are scattered all over the world, visiting old and making new friends, observing local traditions place to place and enjoying delicious food (my stomach was always the top priority and still is!) Those experiences became the foundation for my love of travel and future career. A little about me; I studied Law and graduated with a Masters from UCL in 2007. I soon realised my heart belonged elsewhere and joined my family’s travel business, where I organised group pilgrimages around the world to many destinations. Working closely with group organisers and leaders, I gained invaluable experience in designing specialised, meaningful travel experiences; from sacred journeys to cultural adventures with groups ranging from 15 to 400 people. I have developed an extensive knowledge and expertise in travel operations and dealing with group bookings and their specific requirements. My own travel highlights include hiking through the desert in the middle of the night to the Dead Sea for the sunrise (and then promptly falling asleep on a rock) exploring the spectacular caves of Frasassi, joining a walk and music evening in Petra, partaking in a Cretan sheep shearing fiesta (complete with copious amounts of meat, wine and improvised music) celebrating the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico, tasting my way through the markets of Nablus, Istanbul and Japan, watching my clients Baptisms in the River Jordan and walking the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. I have been very privileged to join and be a part of many of my clients Spiritual journeys over the years. Every experience has shaped how I plan and personalise travel for others; with care, curiosity, empathy and attention to detail. When you book with me, you’ll enjoy a completely personalised service, where I’m with you every step of the way; from our first conversation to the moment you return home. You’ll also have the reassurance of 100% financial protection through ATOL for package holidays and the Travel Counsellors financial Trust for other bookings, 24/7 global customer support, and the peace of mind that comes from booking with an award-winning, 5-star rated company that truly cares. Whether you’re dreaming of a pilgrimage journey, a cultural tour, a retreat or a relaxing family holiday (or a combination of these!) I would love to help make it a reality. I work with groups of 6 people or more. Let’s start planning your perfect journey — together.I look forward to hearing from you!Warm regards, Tamara Your Personal Travel Counsellor / group travel specialist

    01324 808030 Falkirk

    My name is Muriel Morgan and I am an independent travel agent in Slamannan. I joined Travel Counsellors in 2005 and before that I was employed by Thomas Cook. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice.As your own Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a better price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere.Travel Counsellors recognises that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s award winning technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings up to 11pm and weekends.I love holidays and have been very lucky to travel extensively all over the world. I have visited Spain, Turkey, France, Portugal, Bulgaria, Iceland, Greece, Malta & Gozo to name a few. I have also visited Australia and New Zealand multiple times, stopping off in various countries like Dubai, Singapore & Bali. I have experienced various cruises including Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Pacific & the Emirates which are a fabulous way of seeing more than one place and can be really good value for money. I have also experienced a skiing holiday to Banff in Canada and found Cuba, Mexico, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Grand Cayman which are all really interesting holiday destinations. My first trip to Egypt took me to Sharm el Sheikh in November 2004 and I was so impressed I returned again a number of times. For non-swimmers it is excellent, as you only need to walk out into the sea about knee deep and you can look down into the beautiful clear turquoise water and see an array of fish and coral in every colour imaginable. Ive visited many destinations in the USA including Las Vegas, Miami, Los Angeles, Kentucky & Florida. European city breaks have also played a part in my travels & Ive been lucky to have visited Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam & Warsaw to name a few. In 2025 I travelled to Australia, Switzerland, Salou, Vancouver, Frankfurt & Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. All very different experiences which have given me great insights into these amazing destinations that I can now share with my clients.I can help you arrange any part of your travel arrangements – so whether you need a flight to Barcelona or a last minute holiday to Florida I can help. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.I hope to hear from you soon.

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

    My name is Charley and I’m based in Wells, Somerset where I live with my partner, children and two giant ginger cats.With over 13 years of travel industry experience, I’ve worked for both a high-end bespoke touring company and a luxury high street travel agent. What sets me apart from both companies, and certainly from online booking agents, is that I’m here to offer my clients unrivalled support throughout their entire holiday experience, from the first time we speak to after they’ve returned from their travels. I’ll be available to advise and answer any pre-travel questions, assist with all the extras that make a vacation truly special, such as room requests, dining reservations and experiences, and I’ll be there to help in worst-case scenarios, if anything goes wrong. Essentially think of me as your own personal travel concierge!My favourite place on earth is New Zealand, where I was lucky enough to live for nearly three years. In my opinion there is nowhere more visually beautiful, with its mountains, glaciers and lakes, white sand beaches and wineries, and honestly the friendliest locals you could meet. My other favourite travel memories are being within a couple of metres of three rhinos in Kruger National Park, seeing bears in Sequoia National Park (California) and travelling solo through the Tibetan mountains of southwest China – which hosts some of the most stunning scenery I’ve seen.I could talk about travel and my experiences for days, but my other passion is creating bespoke and personal itineraries to share with my clients so they can explore the places they’ve always dreamt of visiting. From luxury rail travel across Canada, to complex multi-stop cities in the USA, to your first safari in Africa or beach hopping in Thailand and Malaysia, I love the challenge of piecing it all together.As well as tailormade touring, I also work with a huge range of suppliers and resorts and can arrange everything from skiing to Caribbean beach holidays, from a weekend away in Europe to a cruise around the arctic or the Mediterranean. Anything booked through me (no matter how big or small) is fully protected financially and any flight inclusive trips are ATOL protected as well.As I work from home I am able to speak with clients at a time that suits them – whether this is during standard office hours, in the evenings or at weekends. I’m happy to arrange video calls or can even catch up for a chat over a coffee somewhere – my flexibility means I can work around them.I can be contacted over the phone, Skype, Whatsapp, Facebook or Instagram – give me a shout anytime as I can’t wait to discuss your next trip!

    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause. Taking time out of our busy lives has never been more important. Booking with Travel Counsellors doesn’t just mean working with me; you also have the full support of our award winning head office team so if there’s ever a problem, we are all here to support and make sure you get sorted so you can get back to relaxing. All bookings are ATOL protected and have full financial protection.Whatever the enquiry, large or small, I would be delighted to help so I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    I am a Travel Counsellor living in Chalfont St Giles. Chalfont St Giles is a great place to live; a great community, in a lovely area including fantastic Bluebell woods, and great schools. My husband and I have lived in the area for over 20 years and our sons grew up and went to school locally, even though they are grown up one or other or both of them periodically live with us. As someone who loves travel, being close but not too close to all forms of transport, airports, ports, channel tunnel and Central London for the Eurostar and evenings out is an added benefit. I love organising travel and holidays for others. Whether it is a once in a lifetime holiday to New Zealand, a luxury cultural city break for two in Nice, or a big family ski trip (dog and grandparents included) I can organize it, leaving you free to look forward and enjoy your trip. Cruising is one of my specialities and with the number of different cruise lines, destinations and inclusive options available I will be happy to discuss which would be most suitable for your needs. Due to my husband being a very keen sailor, I have organised sailing trips for us to Greece, Turkey, The British Virgin Islands and my favourite, Tobago Cays in St Vincent and the Grenadines in the Caribbean, ( where swimming with turtles and rays was magical). This has given me first hand experience with the logistics of wind powered travel as well as an intimate knowledge of the aforementioned areas.For me being a Travel Counsellor means that I am there for you, and not just during office hours. I will be able to offer you impartial advice and help you find the best travel option to suit your needs as well as exceptional customer service tailored to your requirements. Whether it is a last minute quick getaway somewhere sunny, or a precisely planned trip to Antarctica I will be delighted to find the travel solution to meet your needs.

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

    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’m Claire Young – seasoned travel planner, passionate globetrotter, and the person you want in your corner when only the very best will do.For over 30 years, I’ve been crafting holidays that go far beyond the brochure. From chic weekends in Paris or Florence, to sun-soaked escapes in the Maldives or the Caribbean, to epic journeys across Asia and Australasia – I make it happen. My clients come to me because they want more than just a trip: they want a seamless, tailored experience with every detail handled and every box ticked. And that’s exactly what I deliver.Working with me is like having your own personal travel concierge. I combine insider knowledge, trusted global partnerships, and an instinct for matching people to places that just fit. My job isn’t about transactions – it’s about transformation. Turning a vague idea or half-formed wish into a perfectly polished itinerary that feels completely personal, indulgently effortless, and undeniably memorable.Over the last four years, I’ve taken that philosophy even further by curating a dedicated side of the business: Luxury Romance. This is where I help couples and families celebrate life’s most meaningful moments – honeymoons, destination weddings, anniversaries, and milestone escapes. From barefoot vows on a private beach to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons or multi-generational celebration trips, I make sure every journey is elegant, elevated, and unforgettable.Luxury travel, for me, isn’t just about five-star hotels or first-class cabins (though I have those covered too). It’s about creating space for connection, for joy, for those rare moments that stay with you forever. That’s what my clients trust me to deliver – and why they come back, time after time, for the next adventure.So, whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply want the kind of trip people will talk about for years, let’s start planning. Warning: a chat with me may cause excessive daydreaming – but once we get going, you’ll be very glad it did.
