We have taken holidays arranged by Alison for a few years now. These have ranged from sunshine breaks in and around the Mediterranean to North America. We have always found the resorts, accommodation etc to be of a high standard and representing good value.

Alison has always been very professional but, more importantly, very friendly. She is always our first port of call if we wish to arrange a holiday to a destination that involves a flight.

Mr & Mrs Ernest & Anne Newton, Dronfield

The first time I used Alison, I was seeking info on a possible trip to a friends wedding in America earlier this year. She put in a great amount of time and effort sorting plane times and possible accomodation etc. Unfortunatley I decided it was not going to be a viable trip, there was no charge made. I have used her since to book air travel to Jersey. Her communication skills and the vast amount of holiday destinations available from her business are excellent. Not expensive, and fully recommended.

Mrs Brian Zealand, Sheffield

Alison is an absolute pleasure to work with. She has organised several holidays for us in the past and more recently organised my brother's wedding in Cyprus. Nothing is too much trouble for Alison, you know she will always do the best for you, she's a diamond!!

Mrs Susan Conlan, Sheffield

We have been booking our holidays with Alison for a number of years now. She provides a professional and personalised service and is able to tailor holidays to our (very specific!) needs and budget. We discovered just how helpful she could be when we had to cancel a holiday because our daughter had chicken pox. Alison sorted everything out for us, guiding us through the process and helped to reduce the stress of the situation. I would recommend her without hesitation.

Mr & Mrs Joanne and Paul Airey, Chesterfield

I first heard of Alison through my son who had previously booked a very enjoyable holiday with her. Now seven years later we have booked nearly three holidays a year.

Alison is not only very professional in how she handles your enquiry but is the most friendly and caring person when dealing with your holiday requests.

I will carry on using Alison in the future and continue to sing her praises.

Mrs Mavis Hughes, Audenshaw, Manchester

Not one for going abroad, I was completely at a loss on where to start looking for a family holiday. I have to say, Alison made the whole process an absolute pleasure. She recommended places to go and worked hard to find the perfect place for our large party. It was completely stress free and hardly took any time at all. I whole heartedly recommend her service to anyone and will definitely book through Alison next time we go away.

Mrs Rebecca Freeston, Sheffield

I have used the service offered by Alison Shipman from Travel Counsellors for many years. All I need to do is float an idea of where I would like to go, what I would like to see and what I have to spend and Alison does all of the hard work. She then comes up with a variety of options. I can then choose what I want and she arranges it. She always tries to get the best price and she is open to suggestions. She is also very knowledgeable and if she doesn't know something she will find out. Nothing is too much trouble and Travel Counsellors offer excellent protection so I have peace of mind if thing were to go wrong.

Mr Dale Moody, Market Drayton

Alison was very efficient in coming back to us to make sure she had covered all our requirements for the holiday. She helped with the arrangements for the airport parking and the whole package offered good value for money and was dealt with incredibly well. Thanks!!

Mr Paul Greenwood, Sleaford

Well where to start? At the beginning I first met Alison on email in 2007 when she very kindly assisted me on sorting out the honeymoon June 2008 for my son.

We had many changes to that arrangement and she is always the professional with help and understanding. Now I count her as a friend and have shared many interesting holidays situations for her to arrange specially for my daughter's honeymoon a safari in Kenya. We have had many holidays to arrange as we go with friends twice a year and always enlist her help. Nothing is too much trouble and she always finds the place for us and we have just come back from a visit to Normandy - excellent as ever.

I cannot recommend Alison highly enough and I always pass on her details to my friends. Excellent keep up the good work.

Thank you

Mrs Hilary Woods, Sheffield

Alison has always taken care of our needs when we have had a problem, such as when we visited Thailand during the riots in 2010, she took care of it arranged for us to stay where we were and kept us informed at all times, which was also lucky for other people who were not aware of the problems and had to make their own arrangements.

I always feel confident when I book through Alison as she is always at the end of the phone and you can speak to her in person to sort any issues that may arise.

Thank you Alison

Mrs Belinda Cordwell, Southampton

Alison is superb to deal with. Simply let her know where you are thinking of going and she sorts the rest. We have travelled to Dubai, Turkey and soon to Florida and it has been fantastic. She covers every detail and can even book airport parking to obtain the best value. This saves you not only valuable time in trying to navigate difficult websites but also saves you a lot of money. I cannot recommend her services enough. I will certainly be booking our next holiday with Alison and regularly pass on her details to friends without hesitation. Well done Alison and keep up the great work.

Mr Robert Adams, Wakefield

We have only ever experienced excellent service and perfect travel plans.

Mrs Patricia Hydes, Lincoln

Well, what can I say about our trip; fantastic, breathtaking, awesome, exceeded expectations, I could go on! We've had the most spectacular honeymoon we could ever have imagined and all thanks go to you and Travel Counsellors. All of the accommodations we stayed at far exceeded our expectations, superb quality absolutely no faults with any of them and the owners couldn't do enough for us.

All of them provided us with a honeymoon welcome gift of either Champagne and/or chocolates/cake and flowers.

The highlight of the whole trip was definitely the Safari, seeing so many beautiful animals in their natural environment was truly a privilege,

Once again, thank you so much from both of us.

Mrs Sally Harper, Chelmsford

We just want to say thank you SO much for helping us to arrange our honeymoon at the El Dorado Casitas Royale in Mexico. Your service was fantastic, we found you to be very friendly and helpful, not to mention patient with us changing our minds a lot and asking lots of questions! Our tickets and pre-holiday info all came through to us in plenty of time and was good quality. The resort you found for us was idyllic with great service and food. The honeymoon extras of champagne and a candlelit meal on the beach that were thrown in were undoubtedly down to you contacting the resort in advance so thank you! We would definitely use your fantastic service again and would recommend Travel Counsellors to all!

Thanks,

Matt and Angela Cuff x

Mrs Angela Cuff, Sheffield

Thank you so much for all the work you did on our surprise holiday to Kiruna and the Ice Hotel - it was a very memorable and fantastic experience.

I was so thrilled that my husband had dreamt up such a wonderful surprise and enjoyed every minute of the build up - after the meal on Valentines Day, the journey to Heathrow and the trip itself - I will never forget it and highly recommend it to anyone who wants something completely different.... the Husky Dog sled trip through the forests and across the frozen lakes was just incredible, and the overnight stay at the Ice Hotel awesome.... the Snowmobile Safari through the wilderness at nights was like being in a James Bond movie - even calling in at the log cabin in the forest for reindeer stew cooked on an open fire..... I still can't believe we did it........Thank you!

Mrs Susan Fletcher, Sleaford

Alison 1st came to my notice when sorting my son's honeymoon this year and in fact we were given another Travel Counsellor's name but she was not available. I looked on line to find Alison is near to our home so it made sense. She was extremley helpful during my daughter in law's fathers illness nothing was too much trouble. I have subsequently passed on her details to many friends as has my son.

Mrs Hilary Woods, Sheffield

We have booked our last two holidays with Alison because she provides an excellent efficient service. She searched long and hard and found a perfect holiday for our family at a great price.

She is friendly, helpful and honest about hotels and destinations. Will and do recommend her to friends and would not book a holiday or any travel arrangements through anyone else now. Thanks Alison!

Mr Ian Howarth, Sheffield

Alison booked our summer holiday to France. One week in keycamp and one in an apartment. She sorted it all out so it co ordinated with the ferries. It went like clockwork. We hadn't been abroad with the kids before and she thought of everything we would need with a young family so it was hassle free. She always got straight back to us with any queries we had. She was always easy to get hold of.

Ms Rachel Aiston, Sheffield

We have recently enjoyed two European holidays very successfully arranged for us by Alison. Both were well organised, with good accommodation in excellent locations and travel arrangements which went without a hitch. She has now organised for us a 3 week holiday to Central America, staying in Mexico and Panama with a short stop-over in Miami on our return journey. She has produced for us an excellent itinerary, which meets our requirements, fully covering our expectations at a cost suiting our budget. I would recommend anyone planning a holiday, particularly those wanting something different to a standard brochure holiday, to contact Alison with their requirements – I feel sure they will not be disappointed.
