Hi tracey I’m not very good at technical things i have tried to put your review on FB on your travel counsellors page but I can see where to post it so I’m sending it here to you and if you can put the review on....... Here goes.... “What an absolute star! From the very start Tracey helped plan every stage of our trip which involved various destinations across the USA. Tracey’s vast experience and wealth of knowledge within the travel industry has allowed our party to be confident about the choices we are making from the destination, accommodation, transport and excursions the list is endless. She has provided first hand advice and tips on the places we have chosen to visit! Tracey’s advice and support throughout the planning and booking stage of the holiday was amazing but she went above and beyond during COVID-19 keeping us informed at every stage especially through the eventual cancellation of our trip. Like many travellers who had their holidays cancelled during the pandemic all I can say is I am so glad I had Tracey to help me through the process. We are now rebooking our itinerary again and Tracey has been there throughout the process taking all the stress and worry away! We are really looking forward to bringing our planned trip to life, the excitement of being able to travel to our chosen destination and having something to look forward to in 2021. Thank you Tracey”

Elephant Hills was amazing and would highly recommend as a place to experience both with the elephants and the jungle lake safari. We had rain and gorgeous warm sunshine and loved the mix as all part of the wonderful experience. End of the rainy season was a good time to go. Well worth every penny. We all loved it and was the perfect treat for Pete and Lesley’s 60th Birthdays as we had planned. Thank you Tracey so much for your organisation and patience in getting this holiday just right for us. Love Jo, Pete Lesley and Rob. Xxxx

Booking a holiday with Tracey Blackman made me wonder why on earth I hadn't used Travel Counsellors before - it was just so effortless and took all the time, worry and hassle out of it. It was so reassuring to know that I could leave everything to someone who knew exactly what they were doing AND had my best interests at heart. This makes me confident that the holiday I have booked is the best choice at the best price. Tracey is also so lovely and caring to deal with - she really is bothered about her customers having the time of their lives - and THAT is priceless.

Tracey took a vague holiday brief and turned it into something absolutely spot on and tangible within about 27 hours. I have never been so happy in shelling out for a holiday and have every confidence that the resort, when I get there, will be everything I expect and a memorable time will be had by all. Tracey greeted this opportunity with a sunshine attitude which brightened up a dull, dreary winter's day and has left me something great to look forward to. Very well done Tracey, thank you.

My travel bookings have been made so easy since I discovered Travel Councellors and Tracey in particular has been so efficient. Why would I go anywhere else for my travel needs ?

Without Tracey we would still be going around in circles discussing which hotel was the best value and which flights to book. Tracey sorted everything and made the booking experience a whole lot simpler for us..

We have a large and complicated wedding party going to Cyprus next year and Tracey had gone out of her way, and continues to do so, to get us the best prices, times and dates that we all wanted. She's contacted the resort and operators directly, even though they weren't on general sale and had found us exactly what we wanted for a total price and deposit that we are happy with. We would all like to thank Tracey for making a stressful yet happy time less stressful and happier..

Hi Tracey, you are amazing, the holiday and hotels have all been fabulous, we are really enjoying ourselves. Speak soon. Xx

We had the most amazing trip of a lifetime. Hotels were amazing and both couldn't have been better located, especially Roosevelt in New York. The car hire in Vegas was so straight forward even I got it right! We drove to The Grand Canyon and it was well worth the 4 hr drive each way. I actually won on the blackjack tables but not enough to pay for the trip but did play till 05.30 am. The flight to New York was quicker than we thought as we forgot about the time difference. New York was the most amazing place we have ever been, we would definitely go back one day. Thank you so much for making our 30th Anniversary so special.

Tracey was a pleasure to work with. She sorted all my problems and calmed me down and was never put out with any of my requests. A wonderful advert for your company.

Sent by Robyn Wood

We had the most amazing time from start to finish. Everything to do with the wedding was dealt with so efficiently, meaning Tim and I had no stress or worries. All the hotel staff involved in the run up and on the day were fantastic. The hotel/resort was great. The rooms were big and spacious and it was nice to be in a small block of just 4 rooms. We were so pleased we picked the smaller one of the 3. We did visit both sister hotels several times, had a great time whilst there but always enjoyed getting back to the Halcyon. The grounds and surroundings were beautiful and kept very clean and tidy. The food was good, lots of choice, and it was really nice to have the option of the other 2 resorts. The best restaurant was La Toc French restaurant at La Toc (golf resort). The food and service was exquisite. Thank you for everything you did for us and the family. It was all we could have hoped for and more. X

When initially booking with Travel Counsellors I had never really thought of booking with them before. When I found my local TC on Facebook through a friend I was surprised at how quickly she responded to me. I would just like to say that the service I received was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for her. Even when I had changed my mind several times she could not spend enough time making my booking suitable for me. I will definitely be booking all my future holidays with Travel Counsellors and especially Tracey because her experience is obvious, through her knowledge of travel and her kind nature towards her customers.
