My Testimonials
I have been extremely impressed with Damian's service. Always polite and helpful he has a wealth of knowledge which has been invaluable in planning our holiday. I have already recommended his services to several other fiends and will continue to do so.
Mr Robin L'Oste-Brown, Camberley, Surrey
We have been booking our holidays with Damian for the past 4 years and each one has been superb. Damian tailor makes each holiday to meet our needs and our budget and his vast knowledge and experience of destinations are invaluable. Booking with Travel Counsellors also gives us peace of mind that no matter what happens our money is safe and this was highlighted when our Excel flight was cancelled only days before we were due to depart. Damian sorted this in a flash; we had a new flight instantly and Travel Counsellors made sure we were not out of pocket with its ATOL protection. This continued level of excellent and personalised service has led us to ask Damian to plan our dream honeymoon through Australia, New Zealand and Thailand and I would recommend Travel Counsellors above anyone else. Thank you Damian for some wonderful experiences and memories.
Mr Adam Beecroft, East Morton
Very helpful, knowledgeable and patient! Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Always a first class service. Best holiday Damian ever found for us was an unforgettable week in the Maldives. Second best was a perfectly organised holiday in New York where he used his personal experiences to best direct us.
Mrs Rosalinda O'Connor, Halifax
Damian has organised our holidays for the past ten years. Including a trip round the world by ourselves, a guided tour of china, plus many cruises and other holidays. Each time everything has gone very smoothly and we have never had a single problem. He has secured some really great hotels with extras for us that do not come up on the internet. Damian gives extra special service to his clients.
Mrs Jean Thomas, Chatham Kent
Damian planned our "once in a lifetime" trip to Oz and New Zealand from beginning to end. From recommending a round the world ticket with Air New Zealand (best premium economy in the world) to great hotels and amazing experiences, he put the whole trip together and it worked like a dream.
Ms Linda Will, Steeton
Damian has booked 3 or 4 cruises for me now - I always get great service and the prices he comes up with are much better than anyone else .Damian is always happy to go the extra mile if I ever need anything adding to my booking later. suffice to say that I would ask Damian to book my next cruise.
I almost forgot, he also saved me £1000 on a business class flight to Canada - not bad at all !!!!
Mr Philip Hurst, Tyldesley ; Manchester
We have used Damian for all our holidays for around 6 years and the reason we still do is his extremely high levels of service and efficiency. Throughout this time Damian has got to know the types of holidays we enjoy and we trust his judgement 100%, he has never let us down. As long as he is there we will never book with anyone else and we both recommend him on a regular basis to anyone we know.
Mr & Mrs Ian Feeley, Bury
Damian was recommended to me as being someone who took great trouble in satisfying his customer with every travel detail. He did not disappoint me! I was particularly grateful for his concern about my age and checking that I had all the necessary documents for my tour.
Mrs Ailsa Stewart, Campbeltown
MY WIFE AND I WERE LOOKING FOR A GREAT HOLIDAY AFTER OUR WEDDING, WE DID TRY ONE OR TWO PLACE'S AND A FAMILY FRIEND GAVE US DAMIAN’S OFFICE NUMBER TO RING AND SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT WHAT KIND OF HOLIDAY WE WERE LOOKING OUT FOR. MAN THIS GUY IS GOOD HE BOOKED A NICE AND CHEAP HOLIDAY, THE BEST ANYONE CAN THINK OF. WE WILL ALWAYS BOOK OUR FAMILY HOLIDAY WITH THIS GUY. IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A NICE HOLIDAY DAMIAN IS THE MAN.
Mr & Mrs M ODEHADAKOLE, MANCHESTER UNITED KINGDOM
With Damian's expert help we had a fantastic holiday in Peru last year. The organisation was superb, and we had a marvellous time. As an added extra, when our flight was delayed and the whole itinerary was at risk, Damian did a great job on the other end of the phone sorting it all out. It was good to know he was handling it as we travelled on!
We will definitely use his services again this year.
Mrs Kath Millington, Sandbach
I would like to say what a help Damian has been to us in helping us plan our holidays I have been very impressed with the way he has helped and would recommend him to anyone.
Thank you Damian
Mrs Jacqueline Priestley, Brighouse
Happy to say that Damian is exceptionally helpful and innovative in his advice and suggestions and always willing to put in ample time and effort to come up with a holiday solution. He would certainly be my first choice seeking a holiday. Thanks Damian!
Mr Alan Yates, Bedlinog Merthyr Tydfil
Damian has arranged many holidays and weekend breaks over the years for me and my husband.
We have never been disappointed with the arrangements. We have found Damian to be extremely efficient, professional and very knowledgeable. If he says he will return a call and get back to you then he does every time. On a more personal level he is friendly and has never ending patience.
Mrs Elaine Knowles, Halifax
Damian has been excellent with helping and booking holidays. A wonderful personality and so helpful to us both and we will be using him again soon for our cruise in Jan 2011. I have referred him to a number of my friends and family who are very happy with his service, never met him but feel like he is a good friend.
Mr & Mrs Barrie & Christine Boardman, Preston
I have found Damian Newell a great asset when arranging my holidays - I tell him where I want to go and when - and he does the rest! This has been the arrangement for a number of years and all itineraries have been excellently arranged and no mishaps or problems encountered. I am happy to recommend him as a capable, caring agent, professional, at all times and possessing a sound knowledge of travel.
Miss Dorothy Shields, Leeds
Our first experience using Travel Counsellors, namely Damian was to arrange a short notice booking to Turkey, as some friends had recommended we should go. Having given Damian our wish list of preferences and budget, Damian came up with the ideal resort, even taking the time to ring one of his clients who had been there recently for feedback and to make sure that he had made the right choice for us. Needless to say we have since been cruising to both the Caribbean and Mediterranean expertly organised by Damian, who takes the hassle out of holiday hunting, and is far more knowledgeable and gives accurate information about any resort or country than any brochure could give. Damian is well travelled and his fountain of knowledge meets the needs of any potential traveller anywhere in the world. We have recommended Damian to both family and friends who have all been pleased with his services. The hardest part of booking our holiday for next year will be where to go, the rest we'll leave up to Damian. Kind regards.
Mr & Mrs Alan & Ann Chattaway , Bingley
We have been booking our cruises with Damian for the past 7 years. We know that we can trust that our holiday has been booked and confirmed. Damian's knowledge of places and especially cruise liners and their destination is unbelievable. I know I can call Damian and ask him questions about our ship we are booked on; things like what facilities are on board for a 7 and 1 year old, what is the food and service like. Damian is very honest with his opinions and he will tell us why he thinks the cruise is not suitable for our requirements and family needs and will recommend an alternative. Damian is very hard working.. we know because we are very demanding customers, but Damian always comes up trumps. We would totally recommend his service.
Miss Paula Folkes , London
At the time of writing we have booked two holidays with Damian. The service he has provided has been excellent. To receive such caring and efficient service is rare these days. We would have no hesitation in recommending his services to anyone. As already stated the service we have received from Travel Councillors has been, to say the least, exceptional and having experienced this we cannot see any occasion when we would return to a high street travel agent. Kind regards.
Mr & Mrs Tony & Wendy Hughes , Bingley
After browsing teletext for a holiday, I came across Travel Counsellors and telephoned the number. I spoke to Damian Newell, who told me what was available within the region I wanted to travel. He then supported the information he gave me over the telephone by sending print outs of the nice hotels within my price range which I indicated I was interested in visiting. I was most impressed by the depth of Damian’s knowledge of holidays and travel. He was also courteous, conscientious, thoughtful and very professional throughout our conversation and has remained the same ever since. Damian knows exactly the type of holidays that are suitable for me and has arranged several over past 7 years for myself and my family. I have also recommended Damian to my friends and colleagues who have always been highly satisfied with the service they receive. Damian, my personal Travel Counsellor is fantastic! He can always be depended on to deliver a friendly tailor made service to suit individual needs which gives me peace of mind. He is simply the best.
