Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my webpage.
I fell into travel as a profession accidently as it happens. In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do. During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer.
Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations.
In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.
All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.
I very much look forward to looking after you.

Oscar has gone above and beyond to help us. He has sourced information regarding the countries requirements, booked plane tickets, booked a car, navigated extra luggage requirements. His manner is fabulous and he works ridiculously long hours, often replying to my emails when he should be sleeping and while probably not even at work. We will definitely recommend Oscar and hope he will have us back as clients again in the future.
