I am proud to have owned my Travel Counsellor franchise for 17 years now.
Having studied Travel & Toursim at College I have had a varied and extensive career within the industry I love. From P&O, Princess Cruises, Austravel, Australian Affair, Ebookers, Lasminute.com and Quest Travel I have predominately worked in senior management. I have loved the opportunites my roles have given me by allowing me to visit and explore some of the most beautiful destinations, both long and short haul. As the names imply a number of these companies specialised in Tour Operating to Australasia where I was fortunate enough to visit many times each year including hosting numerous journalists taking them to far flung areas of these beautiful destinations. Austravel saw me living in Manhattan whilst running the North American division of Austravel covering 15 locations including one in Canada.
Everything I arrange is bespoke. It does not matter if it's a detailed longhaul holiday or a short city break, it is always put together based on my individual customers needs and requirements, nothing is 'off the shelf' as our requirements are as unique as we are as people.
Given my industry experience I prefer not work with mainstream Tour Operators. By working directly with our contracted airlines, hotels, specialist suppliers and local operators I know you will be well looked after at every stage of your holiday. Ensuring you have the best experiences throughout is a priority to me. Indeed the covid years have further reinforced my working practises as I have had to cancel and change so many holidays. This has been done with ease as I have been the one in control alongside the relevant service provider making it simple to obtain refunds or to amend. I am also backed up by an amazing 24/7 team .
Not exhaustive but I can arrange: City Breaks, River Cruises, Ocean & Adventure Cruises Longhaul, Shorthaul holidays and detailed multi centre or round the world itineraries. Family, couples or singles holidays. Ski, Lapland Weddings, Honeymoons Private planes, helicopters and yachts. ...... Nothing is Impossible
Please feel free to call me so that we can chat about your travel requirements and aspirations. For more convenience you can arrange to meet with me, at a mutually agreeable time, at the Hobo Private Members Club Loughton.
I look forward to hearing from you and becoming your Personal Travel Counsellor.

Vicky Babbs our travel counselllor organised a family trip to Florida for us last year. It was a special trip to celebrate our joint 70th birthdays. Vicky was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip that we wanted. She organised flights at the best prices, found us fantastic accommodation and got us the best deals on park passes. We had everything organised and along with our children and grandchildren were ready to go last Easter. Then the Covid pandemic hit. The trip that Vicky had so painstakingly put together had to be cancelled. We had no way of knowing when we could fly to America again so reluctantly asked Vicky to organise refunds from all the different suppliers.
It was no easy task getting refunds from all the suppliers but Vicky managed this and we we did not lose a penny.
We would without reservation recommend Vicky and will be asking her to organise our next trip once travel returns to normal.

We have been requesting Vicky's help with our holidays since late in 2015 when my daughter (who is herself very impressed with Vicky) was aware of how demanding our requirements for holiday destinations are and felt we would benefit from her services. She was right! So far this year Vicky has advised and helped to arrange a trip to the Grand Prix in Monaco and a wonderful fortnight in Menorca in the most amazing villa in a truly beautiful location. We have agreed that this was the most wonderful holiday we have ever had. She also arranged a weekend in Rome together with trips and tours which made the whole break a real treat. We are now in the process of asking her to help us with a Rhine River Cruise and an early summer holiday in Majorca. Vicky takes personal care to ensure that our needs are met. She goes out of her way to meet all our requirements and is quick to respond to any phone call or email we may send her. She is endlessly cheerful, patient.and very proactive.

I have booked a number of holidays with Vicky over the years. There are numerous reasons why I book with her and always recommend her to family and friends.

However it's all the little things that I enjoy booking with Vicky; being able to pick up the phone and chat through various options and get sound advice when I can't make my mind up (she is very patient!), not having to worry about transfers and multiple hotels and flight bookings and payments, receiving all your travel documents in the post in one very organised wallet, having your luggage labels sent to you already completed for your outward and inbound flights!

Dear Vicky,
We had a fantastic stay at the Hotels that you recommended.. For us the accommodation is so important, had we not taken your recommendation our holiday wouldn't have been as brilliant.
Thank you for all your time and effort into making this holiday for us absolutely brilliant and would not travel anywhere in the world before speaking to you first.
Would recommend you time and time again, great value holiday, great locations, perfect hotels, most of all your worldly knowledge.

We have used Vicky to book our last few holidays after being recommended by a friend.
Our holiday to Mexico last year was disrupted by the Volcano eruption and Vicky proved invaluable with re-arranging it for a later date. I'm certain that if we had booked a holiday through another company it would not have been sorted out straight away, like Vicky managed and we may have perhaps lost out.
The venues that we have booked have been fantastic and the little details such as private transfers and Vicky's first hand knowledge of the areas have made the holidays just that little bit more special. I have no hesitation in recommending Vicky for a fantastic holiday!

We have used Vicky for all our travel bookings ever since she surpassed all expections in arranging our fabulous honeymoon for us. Her personal service goes above and beyond what is required. Dealing with Vicky is like dealing with a friend - she is willing to go out of her way to make any trip as easy, good value and in the case of our holidays, as memorable as possible. Thank you Vicky!

Time & again Vicky has proven to be professional, experienced & above all aware of individual needs. The service is always prompt, efficient and tailored. One always feels that the extra mile has been travelled by Vicky & any information/advice given is always sound. What more could you ask?

Time and time again Vicky manages to exceed our expectations by sourcing fantastic holidays. Vicky provides a prompt and efficient service offering her honest opinion and suggestions to make our holidays even more special. Her knowledge of the world is outstanding and she really takes the time to discuss all your families’ requirements. Vicky goes the extra mile which in her field I often find is lacking but she truly bucks the trend offering exceptional levels of service. I would highly recommend Vicky to friends and family and use her services on forthcoming holidays, in fact it would take a lot for me to go elsewhere.
