Veronique Surry

Based In Essex
07493305821Based In Essex
07493305821About me: Hi! I’m Veronique and I am an independent Travel Counsellor based in Thurrock, Essex. I have always been fascinated by different cultures and languages, and that curiosity is what sparked my love of travel. Originally from Belgium, I have been living in the UK for over 20 years with my husband, whom I married on a beautiful beach in Mauritius. We now have three children, one of whom has a severe nut allergy, so I fully understand how important it is to feel safe and supported when you travel. I am very mindful of any additional needs or adjustments that you or your travelling companions may require, and I will always take the time to consider these carefully when planning your trip.Types of holidays I plan: I offer a friendly, truly bespoke travel service using award‑winning technology to design your perfect holiday, including beach and skiing holidays, tailor‑made itineraries, weddings and honeymoons, luxury escapes, cruises, city breaks, adventure holidays, multi‑centre trips, Disney and Lapland and more.My travel memories: Travel is not just my job, it is my passion, and I love drawing on my own experiences to help inspire your next escape. A sustainable tour in Costa Rica was a real standout: waking to the calls of toucans, spotting sloths curled up in the treetops and being surrounded by vibrant wildlife at every turn. Finishing the day by soaking in the natural hot springs near Arenal volcano, with the rainforest all around, felt completely magical.In North America, I have explored Toronto and felt the incredible power of Niagara Falls, an unforgettable, bucket‑list experience that everyone should see at least once. In the Southwest USA, I have hiked through the dramatic canyons of Zion and Bryce and taken a breathtaking helicopter flight over the Grand Canyon, seeing its vast layers of rock and colour from above. Further south, visiting Petra in Jordan as part of the GX Summit with G Adventures was another highlight: walking through the narrow Siq and watching the Treasury appear in front of me is a moment I will never forget.I have also collected many special family memories around the world: husky sledding in Lapland, taking a boat trip on the glacier lagoon in Iceland, snorkelling with turtles and nurse sharks in the Maldives, watching the fireworks at Disneyland Paris, swimming with dolphins in Florida, feeding elephants and sleeping on floating tents in Thailand, enjoying a seaweed bath in the south of Ireland, water‑rambling in the Gorges du Verdon in the south of France, learning to ski in Austria and Switzerland, zip lining in Snowdonia in Wales, driving through Glencoe in Scotland, and scuba diving in Corsica.Closer to home and across Europe, I have loved exploring northern Italy, including Lake Garda, the Dolomites and Venice, as well as ticking off a true bucket‑list moment watching the incredible Northern Lights in Tromsø, Norway. A sunrise hot‑air balloon over the desert and, of course, saying “I do” on a sun‑kissed beach in Mauritius are memories that continue to inspire the way I plan unique and meaningful journeys for my clients.How I work with you: As a Travel Counsellor, my mission is to provide a highly personal travel service built on trust, care and honesty. I will take the time to get to know you so your trip is tailored to your personal needs, preferences and budget, and I will look after every detail from start to finish so you can truly relax. As an independent consultant, I offer completely impartial advice and a level of personal service you simply do not get when booking online. Your bookings are 100% financially protected by the Travel Counsellors Trust and are ATOL protected, giving you complete peace of mind. I manage every client’s booking with the same care, attention to detail and passion as if it were my own holiday, and I would love to help you start planning your next adventure, whether you are just looking for ideas or ready to book. -

01924 640 049Hello and a very warm welcome — I’m so glad you’ve taken the time to stop by. If you’re here, you’re probably thinking about your next holiday… and that’s where I come in. I’m Charlotte Hall, your personal Travel Counsellor, and I’d love to help you turn those ideas, dreams, and “one day we should…” plans into something real. Travel has been woven into my life for as long as I can remember. I started by exploring the world from the skies as cabin crew, then swapped continents completely and spent more than ten brilliant years living in Australia. These days, you’ll find me in God’s own country — Yorkshire — where I’ve lived with my family for the past twenty‑three years while working in the hospitality industry. All of that has shaped how I see the world: with curiosity, openness, and a real appreciation for great service and genuine human connection. I’ve always loved discovering new places, meeting different people, and soaking up cultures that are nothing like my own. Lately, I’ve fallen a bit in love with cruising — it’s such a wonderful way to explore multiple destinations without packing and unpacking each time! But trust me, my own travel wish‑list is still a long one. When it comes to planning holidays for others, I genuinely enjoy the whole process. I believe that great travel planning isn’t transactional — it’s personal. It’s about listening properly, understanding what matters to you, and building a trip that fits you in every way. No two travellers are the same, and no holiday should be either. As an independent Travel Counsellor, I’m here to make things easier: • I’ll do the research so you don’t have to. • I’ll save you time and remove the stress. • I’ll offer honest, friendly advice you can rely on. • And every booking is 100% financially protected, so you can relax from the start. Whether your plans are simple or a little bit complicated, whether you know exactly what you want or have no idea where to begin — I’d love to hear from you. Give me a call, send an email, or just share a few thoughts, and I’ll get back to you straight away. Let’s make your next adventure something truly special.

Inspired by my adventures, I returned to the UK to begin a career sharing my passion for travel. Fast forward, and this year marks my 22nd anniversary dedicated to the travel industry.

020 3627 4970Hi, I’m Colette — your local Travel Counsellor in Dulwich.I’ve lived and worked in this brilliant part of London for over 20 years, but my real qualifications were earned elsewhere — usually with a backpack, a questionable plan, and a very strong sense of curiosity.I’ve been travelling for over 40 years, long before travel became filtered, airbrushed, and reduced to “top ten must-sees”. My career began in a Greek campsite, peeling potatoes to pay my way — which may not sound glamorous, but it was the moment I fell headfirst into a life of travel.I’ve always travelled properly. And occasionally… bravely.Like in St Anton, where my enthusiastic-but-terrible learner skier self-misjudged a mountain and ended up hitching a ride down on the back of an Olympic skier. Not recommended. Unforgettable.In the Caribbean, I’ve lived the rhythm — salsa dancing under the stars, street dancing during Jump Up in Castries, St Lucia, and learning to roll cigars on my (then younger, thinner, sun-kissed) thighs in Cuba. Research, obviously.I’ve crossed the USA coast to coast on a Greyhound bus, watching the scenery shift from neon city lights to vast, wide-open plains — proof that sometimes the journey really is the point.Asia is where it all really comes alive.In Cambodia, I’ve explored ancient temples, rattled through villages in tuk-tuks, stayed in homestays, and hopped between restaurants and hidden bars on the back of a motorcycle — the best seat in the house.In India, it’s been forts and palaces, ancient history and colourful mayhem — a sensory overload of incense, spices, chaos and beauty, all somehow working in perfect harmony.I’ve surrendered to wellness retreats in Bali and Thailand, floated through the tranquil backwaters of Kerala, and perfected the art of doing absolutely nothing on the beaches of Malaysia, Goa and the Andaman Ocean.This isn’t tick-box travel - this is lived, breathed, slightly chaotic, joy-filled experience.So why travel with me?Because I don’t sell holidays — I design them, using decades of real-world experience and a very good understanding of what makes a trip unforgettable for you.What you get that the internet can’t:• A real human who actually listens • Honest advice (no algorithms, no upselling) • Tailor-made trips — never off-the-shelf • One calm, capable point of contact before, during and after you travelOnline booking won’t help you when flights change, seats disappear or plans wobble. I will. I’m available evenings, weekends — even holidays — because travel rarely behaves itself.Whether it’s a simple hotel stay, a family escape, a solo adventure, or something wonderfully different — like a village homestay, a food-focused itinerary, or a wellness hideaway tucked into Bali’s foothills — I’ll craft it around your style, your pace and your budget.Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors financial trust — so you can relax and enjoy the fun bits.No bots. No hold music. No “please listen carefully”. Just thoughtful, personal service — with experience, humour, and a healthy sense of adventure.Let’s turn your travel dreams into plans. I’m ready when you are. -

These include five years working in a high street agency where I became a senior consultant. My career then took me abroad where I became a holiday rep in Zakynthos, a ski rep in Andorra, and a resort team leader in the west of Cyprus where I controlled the Paphos gateway, as well as arranging weddings. I returned to Andorra for one last season before moving back to the UK to manage a Going Places store for three years, before joining Travel Counsellors where I have just celebrated my 17th Anniversary.I’ve been fortunate to visit many destinations in Europe, the Mediterranean, North America, Canada, the Caribbean, the Middle East, Indian Ocean, Bali, Thailand and Malaysia. I have also experienced cruising. My travel wish list continues to grow and I love talking to people about their holidays as it’s a great way to add to my knowledge.Being an independent travel agent means that I’m able to use a vast number of suppliers, which helps ensure I recommend the right holiday for you. Whether it’s your next holiday, business trip or short break, I’ll deliver the highest levels of customer service. I can also tailor-make trips so please don’t be afraid to ask for something different.Another string to my bow is arranging overseas weddings and honeymoons.

01668 320007Hi, I am Becki. I have worked in travel for over 10 years and I am passionate about creating holidays that feel effortless, exciting and completely “you”. I specialise in cruises, family holidays and tailor‑made trips, and I love designing everything from luxury beach escapes and family adventures to cruise and multi‑centre itineraries.My decision to work in travel came from a lifelong love of exploring the world. I am fascinated by different cultures and places, and I get a real buzz from helping others plan amazing trips of their own. Turning that passion into a career felt like a natural step, and I still feel lucky every day that this is my job.I am well travelled myself, which really helps when it comes to recommending the right destinations and experiences. Some of my favourite places I have visited are Australia, the Maldives, the caribbean and Madeira, but my heart always belongs to Greece. There is just something special about how relaxed I feel there and how it always leaves me eager to return.What I love most about my role is getting to know my customers and sharing in their excitement. A holiday is what we all work so hard for, so I treat every trip with the care and attention it deserves. My customers know they can rely on my incredible attention to detail, that I will go above and beyond, and that I will be available whenever they need me.When you book with me, you benefit from the personal touch, financial protection, 24/7 support and peace of mind that comes with booking through a Travel Counsellor, as well as handy tools like the myTC app to keep everything in one place.If you are ready to start planning your next escape, I would love to chat and bring your holiday ideas to life. -

0203 292 0443Whilst currently London based, I divide my time between visiting friends in Yorkshire and family in Bournemouth. However, from many years of leading tours and living abroad I have clients from all across the UK and further afield, many who have travelled with me and become great friends.Thirty years ago I started working in Greece in summer, skiing in Austria in winter, then progressed to guiding tours to North America, Asia, the Indian sub-continent, the Middle East as well as Central Europe and Italy from my base of almost 15 years close to Salzburg in Austria. Until becoming a Travel Counsellor I spent over ten years as Head of Product, at niche tour operators, creating tours worldwide including tours for music and opera fans, single travellers and specialist religious pilgrimages.When asked where my favourite place I have travelled to is, that changes often as I recall many experiences and each outshines the other. When you are ready to make plans or want inspiration I will happily enthuse and bring iconic sights and descriptions of scenery to a table of ideas and add those special hidden extras and touches that you won't always find in travelogues.My belief is that a holiday or cultural experience is personal and means something different to us all. We replenish and revitalise our body, soul and mind, immerse ourselves in fascinating foreign cultures, absorb the surroundings and enrich our lives spiritually. The experiences and memories travel gives us have immeasurable value that no material possessions can offer.I'll work with you to find the perfect holiday for you. We can arrange a call, video call or a friendly chat over coffee (or something a little stronger!) to get to know one another. I believe a face-to-face meeting helps gauge your reaction to ideas and suggestions so much better.Let's spend time discussing what you and your companions want from your travels; your likes, hobbies, bucket list and any previous travel stories you wish to share. Then, armed with that understanding, utilising my knowledge from more than 30 years’ experience working in the travel industry, I will work to find or create that holiday, cruise, travel or cultural experience that is just right for you. Whether it be a bespoke specially created itinerary or an off the shelf package holiday, time away is precious and needs thought. As an independent personal Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one company or ‘preferred partners’ and have the freedom to select airlines, hotels, cruises, sights and attractions based on personal experience, previous guest and client enjoyment. All backed with full financial protection with ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you peace of mind. It is the best in the industry.As your personal Travel Counsellor I'll ensure you have all information you require leading up to your departure, with passport, visa and health information including any necessary updates and follow your journey until you return home ensuring you are never left ‘high and dry’ should anything unexpected occur. All this is backed by our Travel Counsellors support team who are available 24/7. Having witnessed how other tour operators or travel agents fall short in serving their guests, this award-winning support is something I am extremely proud of.Call me or email me and let's get your journey started! -

0117 327 0073Hi, I’m Thea. Originally from London, I moved to the South West for university and quickly realised this was where I wanted to put down roots. I’m now based in Keynsham, perfectly placed between Bristol and Bath, and I regularly meet clients across both cities.My career didn’t begin in travel. I graduated as a neuroscientist, but after spending time in a laboratory I realised it wasn’t where my passion truly lay. In 2013, I swapped brains for boarding passes and retrained in travel and tourism. After gaining experience in high street agencies and specialist tour operators, I launched my own business with the award winning Travel Counsellors in 2019. I haven’t looked back since.I specialise in luxury tailor made travel, particularly across Asia and Africa, alongside ocean and river cruising, solo travel and bucket list adventures. I have visited over 55 countries and counting, and whether it’s safari in Africa, touring through Europe, exploring India or relaxing in the Caribbean, I still get that same rush every time I step on a plane. Chances are, if you’re planning it, I’ve either done it myself or it’s firmly on my radar.In recent years, responsible tourism has become a huge focus for me. I became a TTG Sustainable Travel Ambassador and was honoured to be named a finalist for Responsible Luxury Travel Agent of the Year at the TTG Luxury Awards 2026. I care deeply about helping clients travel thoughtfully, proving that luxury and sustainability can go hand in hand.Being a Travel Counsellor means I’m my own boss, which allows me to offer a genuinely personal service. You deal directly with me from start to finish, including WhatsApp access, and I’m not restricted to traditional office hours. If evenings work better for you, that’s absolutely fine. Prefer to meet in person over coffee? Even better. Behind the scenes, you also have 24/7 global duty office support, full ATOL protection and 100% financial security. I don’t charge service fees as I’m paid by suppliers, and if there is ever an exception, I will always explain why.From iconic honeymoons and first family holidays to multi centre adventures and special celebration trips, my role is to create memories that last long after you’ve unpacked your suitcase. Whatever you’re dreaming of, big or small, I’d love to help turn your ideas into something truly special. -

07812 150832Hello, 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.

01925 950 047Planning 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. -

01635 766 040Hello. I am Christine and I live in Berkshire in the heart of Newbury Racecourse.Some would say I am addicted to travel. I prefer to call it a passion for seeing the world, from as close to home as Cornwall to as far afield as Indonesia. When it comes to arranging my clients holidays, I am just as passionate, and get a real excitement knowing that some of them will be visiting the beautiful places I have been lucky enough to visit myself.I have been travelling the world for 40 years and been to more than 35 destinations. I can offer first hand knowledge and experience of both the East and West coast of America, Hawaii and the Caribbean islands I have stayed at or visited whilst cruising. Asia is somewhere I return to again and again and have been to Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. I have had the most amazing experiences, visiting an elephant experience followed by the madness that is Bangkok and enjoyed white water rafting and jungle bike rides in Bali.I was also lucky enough to visit Russia way back in 1987 when life was very different. I also have a very good knowledge of Europe. If you are planning a holiday closer to home, I am also on hand to assist you with anything from UK and European weekend or city breaks and if you prefer more of a home-from-home holiday I can arrange luxury Villa holidays across Europe, Florida and the Caribbean.Being a mother of three grown up children and with two very energetic grandchildren, I can also offer personal advice on family holidays. My favourite place for a family holiday is Disneyworld in Florida.

Many of the trips I plan are honeymoons, ski holidays, Disney holidays, and tailor-made multi-destination itineraries, particularly for couples looking for something memorable and well put together.My strongest destination knowledge is Austria, where I have lived for many years. This is not just a destination I book, it is somewhere I experience as part of everyday life, which gives my clients an extra level of confidence when planning their trips. I also plan long-haul travel, including the United States and Japan, where careful planning, the right routing, and a clear understanding of logistics are key.I particularly enjoy planning trips that need a little more thought, where getting the details right really matters. It is the little things that make a big difference, and I take care of those details so everything runs smoothly from start to finish.Over the years, I have seen just how much of a difference it makes when someone is there to guide you and take care of everything properly. My clients know they have someone in their corner, from the first idea through to their safe return home.I work particularly well with clients who want a high-quality, tailored service and appreciate having someone experienced guiding them through the process. Whether it is a honeymoon, a ski trip in Austria, a Disney holiday, or a more complex multi-destination journey, my aim is to make travel feel exciting, manageable, and genuinely well looked after.When you are ready to plan something truly special, I would be delighted to help you bring it to life. -

Over the past 12 years we have visited many hotels and attractions across the island, so I know it really well and love sharing those first hand tips. I have also travelled to Dubai and to Doha in Qatar. Qatar in particular is very up and coming, and I would highly recommend both destinations, even if it is just for a stopover on a longer journey. I am also a big fan of European city breaks. Christmas markets are a favourite of mine, and Bruges and Prague are wonderful options for a festive escape.A little about me: I have been travelling for over 20 years and in all that time I have only had one flight cancelled. Thanks to the support and “thinking outside the box” approach of Travel Counsellors, we only missed one night of our holiday. Experiencing that level of care first hand made a huge impression on me. It showed me how important it is not just to create amazing holidays, but also to make sure that if something does go wrong, you are never left feeling alone or abandoned. There is always someone ready to help and go the extra mile. That is exactly why I became a Travel Counsellor: to offer that same reassurance and support to my own customers.Whether you are dreaming of a once in a lifetime escape or simply a much needed short break, I can create a bespoke itinerary that is tailored just for you. You will have the security of booking with the Travel Counsellors family, so you can relax knowing your holiday is in safe hands. I have access to flexible flights and trusted travel partners all over the world, as well as local tour guides who can help you discover the real culture of your chosen destination. With our easy to use MyTC app, you can view quotes, make payments and access your travel documents all in one place, ready for when it is time to go.The world feels more accessible than ever, with so many incredible places to visit and unforgettable experiences to enjoy. Whether you are travelling solo, as a couple, with family, or as part of a group, there are options made just for you.I feel very lucky to have travelled to many different countries and stayed in a wide variety of hotels and accommodation types. I have experienced travel as a couple, as a family, and with extended family of different ages and mobilities. I know first hand how these different dynamics can change what you need from your holiday, and this is where I can really help.As a Travel Counsellor, I pride myself on offering a truly personal service. Every trip I design is tailored to you and your travelling companions, taking into account your individual needs and wishes. My aim is to help you create lasting memories with a bespoke itinerary that works perfectly for you, with the reassurance that I am available 24/7 while you are away.

I am also a self-confessed USA enthusiast, with particular expertise in California—having visited 17 times—and designing bespoke road trips. Every itinerary I create is entirely tailored to your tastes, budget and sense of adventure.A passionate foodie, I take great pleasure in enhancing each trip with carefully chosen dining recommendations and reservations.

01787 388110From Antigua to Zanzibar, the world is your oyster – and with my help, you can find your pearl.Hi, I’m Sally, an independent travel consultant based in Suffolk with over 30 years of experience in travel, and a Travel Counsellor since March 2002.My main areas of expertise include luxury holidays in South Africa, South America, Australia & New Zealand, the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean and Italy, as well as cruises, city breaks & honeymoons. I also love getting stuck into complex multi-centre itineraries. I have first-hand experience of getting married overseas: I tied the knot in the Seychelles (albeit a million years ago in 1987!), a destination which holds a very special place in my heart and one I’ve visited six times. My other main happy places are Antigua (10 visits), and Italy, and I have a good understanding of Italian.You may wonder why you should choose to book with me rather than online. Well, that’s a no-brainer!:• I check holidays every day and, once I understand your preferences, I can quickly identify the best options for you. Whilst online deals may seem tempting, computers can only respond to your own input; they cannot offer the personalised recommendations, guidance, care & service that I provide - I bring a human touch to your booking experience, something increasingly rare in today’s automated world.• I do all the hard graft, handling all the research, planning & arrangements for every element of your trip, thus saving you time & effort and avoiding the hassle & anxiety that often come with a DIY approach or dealing with a “production line” shop or call centre environment. From your initial enquiry to your return home I manage every detail with care & attention, no matter how simple or complex your itinerary or query.• I am well-travelled, having visited over 50 countries, and offer patient, professional & impartial advice, often drawn from my own experiences and always sprinkled with a friendly dose of sense of humour. Working from home, I am supported by nearly 2,000 colleagues worldwide via internal channels, which means I can tap into extra advice, tips & recommendations when needed.• As an independent Travel Counsellor, I’m not tied or biased towards specific tour operators, inhouse brands or incentives like some high-street or online agencies. I search widely to find or tailor-make holidays to suit your needs and budget, prioritising what’s right for you rather than what’s easiest or most profitable for me. I can also add special touches to make your trip truly unique, and my focus is always on delivering the best overall value for your investment, not just the lowest price - remember that you cannot expect the cheapest to be best.• You always deal directly with me, or when I’m away myself a trusted, like-minded colleague will look after you. You can expect prompt, personal responses without lengthy waits on hold to a call centre reintroducing yourself each time or waiting days for an email reply. • All bookings made with me are fully financially protected and come with full service and care throughout. If the unexpected happens (war, pandemics, airline strikes, cancellations, natural disasters etc etc) help is just a call away. Our 24-hour emergency Duty Office is also available while you are away, so you are never left to sort things out alone. You can therefore relax knowing that you are in safe hands and all you need worry about is enjoying your holiday and making those special memories. • My business & reputation are built on delivering the highest possible level of service. I look after clients throughout the UK, Europe & beyond, so wherever you are based, and whether you fancy a short UK break, a world cruise, or anything in between, don’t drown in information and starve yourself of wisdom. Let me help you discover your perfect travel experience and give you the guidance and support you need to relax and enjoy your journey.I will go the extra mile, so that you can too. -

I can help you with:• Guiding you through booking lightning Lane passes • Recommending restaurants in Disney and Universal • Planning how to split your time between the parks • Advising which rides work best for the ages and interests of your childrenIt is a real passion of mine to plan everything carefully so that you can simply relax and enjoy your time together.
