    Norman Taylor

    01942 321111 Wigan

    Hello, I’m Norman and I’m happily married to Janet and we have a wonderful Golden Retriever Freya.So you may ask, why choose me to arrange your travel plans?To answer that I’d first like to tell you a little bit about why I started working in the travel industry, way back in 1975.As a young boy, I dreamed of becoming an airline pilot, having been fortunate to travel extensively with my family to some of the far flung corners of the globe, well before tour operators or even travel packages were conceived. As a 12 year old I would often be found sitting in the cockpit with the pilot, asking hundreds of questions and getting my Junior Jet Club Frequent Flyer log book signed.Sadly due to colour blindness, my dream job could never be realised, but that didn’t fade my love of travel and so in my early twenties I took ownership of a local travel agency; in Wigan, learning the trade from the bottom up.Since that date in 1975 I have been responsible for arranging thousands of holidays and business trips for individuals, couples and families, major corporations, a leading TV company and broadcaster, celebrities and professional sports clubs, including their players, backroom staff and an army of devoted fans. I have been known to charter private jets, trains and dare I mention organizing the travel plans of a major political party during a general election.My clients come from all walks of life; have different expectations and budgets, which I try my utmost to fulfil. From room or seating requests, to the dietary requests of a famous TV chef, I’ve learned that nothing is impossible. Sure I still love to travel; who doesn’t?, but I get enormous satisfaction turning dreams into reality and the feedback I receive helps me keep abreast of the constantly changing world in which we live.So, whether you want a mini break or beach holiday, a river cruise, a Caribbean or round the world cruise, a trip to Antarctica, a safari, or journey on The Rocky Mountaineer or Trans Siberian Express. Do you dream of skiing or snowmobiling, or desire a bespoke multi-centre trip to Australasia or the Far East. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged them all.No trip is too big or too small, so with over 45 years in the travel business, give me a call and experience my experience.Norman

    Kate Rouse

    01564 320025 Henley-in-Arden

    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 working on and 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.And 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.

    Hi, If personal service, expert, impartial travel advice and peace of mind is important to you, please contact me for a chat about your holiday and travel plans. As your personal Travel Counsellor, my aim is to make booking your holiday an enjoyable experience. You may not have time to research your well-deserved break or special occasion. That's where I come in - I'll gather a list of your likes, dislikes & more, during our initial chat, and then I'll get to work on researching options based on your preferences. I have the expertise and knowledge to provide recommendations tailored to any requirement. Your role is to relax....You may still have that niggling doubt - is my money safe? You can book with confidence because our unique combination of ATOL protection and independent Financial Trusts provides you with 100% protection in the event your booking is affected by the failure of any airline or other travel provider, or even in the highly unlikely event that Travel Counsellors became insolvent. So, even in the event of an operator failure, you’ll never lose a penny. We use our own capital (not your money) to operate our business, so your money is kept safe.I will look after you, from your booking until you're safely home. In addition, our 24/7 Duty Office keeps an eye on world events (including ever-changing entry requirements), so you are supported whenever you need it.

    Hi, I'm Suvi, your personal Travel Counsellor with over a decade of experience in the Hospitality and Travel industry. I am definitely happiest when exploring the world or helping others do the same. After years of working in a high street travel agency, I decided to take the plunge and become a home-based Travel Counsellor. Why? So I have the freedom to create truly personal, stress-free holidays that are as exciting to plan as they are to take.I’ve explored the world from both ends of the travel spectrum - whether it’s sleeping on night buses through Vietnam, or sipping cocktails at ultra-luxurious resorts in the Maldives and Dubai.

Which means I know a few secrets and still have great relationships with people on the ground, including incredible VIP Tour Guides who can look after you while you're there.- Fly-Drive Adventures: The Florida Keys are my top pick for a relaxed, yet adventurous drive. Plus, a drive that I'll never get bored of recommending - The Canadian Rockies. Whether it's winding through the mountain roads, or relaxing on a luxury train and taking in the views. I love helping my clients explore stunning scenery at their own pace.- Adventure Holidays: I’ve swam with whale sharks in the Philippines, hiked up a volcano in Indonesia for sunrise and explored Madagascar on an adventure tour. If your dream is off the beaten track, I'd love to hear about it!Between my own experiences and those within my TC community, I can offer those unique, first-hand hints and tips for almost every destination, that you can't find elsewhere.Whether you’re dreaming of an adventure-packed getaway, a magical family holiday, or a relaxing beach escape, I’ll make sure you are looked after from the moment of your enquiry, to the day you return home.With the backing of the Travel Counsellors brand, I have access to thousands of amazing suppliers and you get full ATOL financial protection.So, let’s chat and create a trip that’s as unique as you are!

    Hi, my name is Adrian and I live in the beautiful village of Lympstone, located on the Exe Estuary in Devon.Having been born and bred in London, I am happy to call this stunning part of the world my home now, with its lovely beaches, coast and rolling hills which allow me to indulge in my favourite outdoor pursuits - running, cycling, walking and, of course, getting out on the water to kayak and paddle-board.Having spent 11 years working for a highly respected and award-winning High Street travel agency, I have been enjoying life as a Travel Counsellor since the summer of 2018, and, having rolled the waves of the pandemic, am still loving the flexibility of being a TC . In this role I have organised a vast array of different travel experiences - from UK weekend breaks, beach holidays in Europe and beyond, self-drive holidays in the USA all the way through to cruises in Antarctica. Catching the travel bug at an early age, I have always loved the feel, noise and buzz you get when visiting somewhere new - or revisiting a familiar destination. Twenty years ago, with my wife Pauline, I left the world of London finance to go travelling for a year and never looked back. I have been lucky enough to visit over 40 countries on 5 continents; from sleeping under the stars in the Sahara, backpacking around China and south-east Asia, to 5* luxury hotels in Bali. There’s never been a dull moment.My favourite countries are South Africa with its diverse culture and scenery, Thailand for its incredible people and beaches, and Italy, well, for everything else! Being a Travel Counsellor allows me to share my passion for travel with you, focusing on providing the best possible customer- service, and getting to know your own likes, dislikes and requirements. My goal is to give you the holiday you deserve, whether that’s a dream holiday of a lifetime, a family beach holiday, a romantic city break, a business trip, an adrenaline-fuelled ski trip, or even your honeymoon!Unlike other travel agencies, I am independent and impartial with access to thousands of leading travel suppliers, major airlines, hotels, tour operators, cruise lines and car hire companies. I am backed by a team of professionals, keeping a 24-hour watch on the weather and global issues, with full financial protection from the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.The flexibility of working from home means I am there for you whenever you call, and I am happy to come out to meet you to get your trip right from the start. Just call or email me, and I will be in touch.I look forward to hearing from you soon.

    Hi there and thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage.My name is Julie and like many of my fellow TC's, travel is my primary interest and passion in life and has been for as long as I can remember. If I had to choose my favourite country then it has to be Spain. I just adore Spain, which I think started from my childhood from the fabulous family holidays we had but then I went on to study Spanish at School, College and then University where I spent each summer working a full season in the gorgeous sunshine. My Uni Placement was in a Spanish Travel Agency and then my first job after Uni was with Iberia Airlines where I spent 3.5 fabulous year and my career had only just begun. Fortunately for me, my parents have an apartment on the South Coast, so I get to spend a lot of time in Andalucia. Aside from Spain, I am a big skier and have had the pleasure of skiing in the Alps, Pyrenees, Sierra Nevada, Milky Way. I haven’t just restricted myself to Europe, I have been to various US States, UAE, Mauritius, Seychelles, Malaysia, Vietnam, South Africa & the Caribbean.I love a good City Break, a beach holiday, a touring holiday, winter break, a cruise – you name it, I love it. Pinch me trips for meare always my ski trips but I loved Lapland and still get goosebumps from the South African Safari.

    0208 6636717 Beckenham

    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.

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

    Hi. I'm Joel. I have one ambition: Holidays don't have to be dreams, they can be a reality. My experiences began early. My mother was a travel agent for both business and leisure, before deciding to create her own travel business in the 1980s. So you could say, I grew up in travel and that travel is in my DNA.Though I did veer off and did a degree in Law with the Open University, this was a great experience and one which has guided me well in the legalities of the package travel regulations. I decided travel is where I want to be, and have over the last 20+ years worked for my many business and leisure travel operators and you could say I'm now carrying on in my mother's footsteps. Travel has so many benefits. I'm proof of that, and have been lucky to see so many countries, cultures, resorts and… experiences.After more than twenty years in the industry, I've decided to branch out and become an independent travel expert with Travel Counsellors and put the knowledge I have to use with helping build memories for all my clients.?So if you are looking for a holiday dream, then allow me as your Travel Counsellor to make these into a reality.Thanks-Joel

I have also been able to take some ocean cruises in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean and also cruised from Iceland to Denmark. I've just recently returned from an Artic expedition cruise around Norway with Hurtigruten which was amazing! I love to do river cruises as well in Europe - though the Nile is booked for 2026! I really enjoyed the Christmas market river cruises and have just returned from a Douro sailing.

Along the way, I've explored extensively - from the tropical beaches of Asia to the historic sites of Europe.

Now, I combine my decades of industry experience with insider knowledge to design deeply personal, transformative trips for discerning travellers like you. Whether you seek a family vacation, romantic honeymoon, or an off-the-beaten-path adventure, I'm here to listen and bring your travel dreams to life. My goal is to craft unforgettable journeys that immerse you in the incredible beauty, cultures, and wonders of our world. I look forward to getting to know you and planning your next memorable trip!
