It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to my world of travel...

With 47 years’ experience within the travel industry, I can assure you that you have landed in the best possible place! I am your local Travel Counsellor based in a small village outside the beautiful old city of Oxford. I am proud to say I was born in the village of Wheatley and have lived here all my life. I live with my husband Alan and our gorgeous Parsons Jack Russell Terrier, Poppy who we adore!

All aspects of travel are a passion of mine, from River Cruising on Europe's wonderful waterways to safaris in Africa! But I'm also partial to soaking up the sun on an exotic sandy beach. But my favourite has to be doing a self drive holiday around beautiful Namibia! I have been lucky enough to experience some wonderful destinations over the years including as I say my favourite Namibia, the Indian Ocean, Thailand, The Caribbean, Mexico and very recently South Africa and Tanzania; not forgetting lots of European destinations including seeing the Northern Lights in beautiful Iceland, where I guided a small group of 10 people together with our partners on the ground in Iceland - what a fabulous trip that was! Whether it be an ocean or river cruise, a city break or maybe a guided tour to some far away country; or maybe it’s that work conference that you need help with? I am here to guide you through it all.

I provide a unique travel service in that at Travel Counsellors we care.

Time is valuable - You don't have to spend hours on the internet, or in a high street travel agents, because after we've chatted you leave the rest to me.

I use award winning technology provided and supported by a world leading independent company to find the exact travel arrangements that suits you. Using this technology and my personal travel experiences plus being able to pool information from around the world where we deal with hundreds of suppliers and not forgetting my many years of industry knowledge, I am in the best position to deliver that weekend away, dream holiday or important business trip!

Whatever you book is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors trust. I pride myself on the service that I provide, adding little touches to make it a memorable one.

So what's stopping you from getting in touch? I will be personally on hand to help you at a time that suits you during the day or evening. I promise to deliver exactly what you are looking for. I am conscientious and committed to finding the trip that’s right for you. I won’t be happy unless you are!

We have our very own app - myTC, which allows you to have all your holiday information at your fingertips. But if you prefer to have your itinerary and travel documents in your hand I can provide that too.

So! Let’s get you on your way as soon as possible. Please email or telephone me today for a 'plane sailing' booking experience, followed by an unforgettable trip!

Our Namibian Adventure

We arrived in Namibia after an overnight 11 hour flight to Johannesburg and then an onward flight to Windhoek. We were met and quickly transferred to our overnight lodge about a 35 minutes drive away. We'd decided to do a self-drive as it is so safe and they drive on the same side as the road as the UK so knew everything would be fine. Our vehicle was delivered to our lodge that night and the hir

Blog from my client who went on their first cruise with Celebrity Cruises

We had the pleasure of booking our cruise through Janet at Travel Counsellors. It’s not the first trip we have booked and we had no doubt we were in good hands. Jan made it so easy for me to find the right cruise company, the right route, and the right service level. What helped me so much is that she knew so much about cruising and I was able to consider lots of different options and chat about

A weekend in Altea, Spain

My husband Alan and I are lucky enough to have our own apartment on the Costa Blanca. We, sometimes with friends, like to visit different places in Spain using our apartment as a base.

I have used Janet Lewis twice recently to arrange travel to the USA. I found her after spending useless hours on various websites where I found it impossible to get people and robots to understand my requirements. A call and a few emails to Janet and it was fire and forget, She took ownership of my case and sorted everything. Bookings made all explained. I just had to press to pay button. If you want travel that is a bit more than a package holiday this is the way to go. I am going to see places on my time rather than an employer's and I will use Janet for her gold standard service.

Janet is fabulous! She has provided our family with an excellent service. She is extremely helpful, professional and has followed us every step of the way. Travelling during a pandemic can be very stressful with changing laws and cancelled flights. However, it is a necessity for us as we live overseas. We would not have managed it without Janet’s calm and practical approach. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, we wouldn’t travel without her!

Marianne Moxon

Oxford

Jan has in the past always gone the extra mile to find the perfect holidays for myself, husband and family. Many times I have been quite vague about where we want to holiday. Jan gently digs deep and comes up with ideas that we hadn't even thought of. We have had some fantastic holidays with Jan looking after us at every move. We had booked a British Isles trip for this June. Jan had found us a fantastic deal, with a super cabin. In fact, everything we wanted. Then of course Covid hit. My heart went out for Jan as she got on with sorting out the mess of every ones holidays. Then to cap it all, Our cruise line went pop. Again, Jan has worked tirelessly to get our drinks package and deposit back. She has lost so much and yet never complains. As soon as we can we will be calling Jan up to find us another holiday. Thank you Jan, you are fantastic at your job.

Daniel Wise

Janet gave us a range of options, never hurried us to make a choice. I felt like she did all the hard work and gave us the opportunity to see things we wouldn't find ourselves or have the patience to find. Very happy with the service.

Louise Hutchinson

Kidlington, Oxford

I use Janet to arrange all of my long haul holidays. Her attention to detail and advice is researched, informative and reassuring in every way, as a female lone traveller, I have every confidence in Janet and the Travel Counsellor team to provide nothing but a first class service. I have never been let down or disappointed as yet, and if anything at all, Janet would only ever, over deliver on all of my tailor made holidays. Janet recently arranged an early return from Australia for me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her. The Best travel Counsellor for me, and quite frankly, I wouldn’t fly anywhere without her! Thank You Janet!

Simon Shew

Wheatley, Oxfordshire

We had the pleasure of booking our cruise through Janet at Travel Counsellors. It’s not the first trip we have booked and we had no doubt we were in good hands. Jan made it so easy for me to find the right cruise company, the right route, and the right service level. What helped me so much is that she knew so much about cruising and I was able to consider lots of different options and chat about what she thought would suit us best. As a family with only one child (aged 6) we had to find something that ticked boxes for us and our daughter. I was particular about where we visited and in the end we decided that an Adriatic cruise in a mid-sized ship would be perfect. Jan couldn’t have been more spot on !

Candy Woodington

Wheatley, Oxfordshire

Janet is thorough, pro-active, and over-delivers at every level. Used many times over the years and have nothing but praise for her services. No request or requirement is beyond her.

Jayne Morris

Kidlington, Oxford

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday of Singapore and Australia organized by Janet. The main reason for the trip was a train journey on the Ghan which was sadly cancelled at the very last minute. This enabled us to see Janet and Travel Counsellors at their very best, by the time we found out about the cancellation she was already on the case with an alternative suggestion for us. We will be certainly recommending her to everyone we know. Our only disappointment is that we had not met Janet 20 years ago.

When I contacted Janet I wasn't quite sure where we wanted to go for our holiday other than somewhere sunny & luxurious. I gave Janet a budget to work with, the month we wanted to go away & specified that we would like day time flights. Janet came up with several options with special offers for us to consider & we were spoilt for choice! There was no worry about transfers & Janet dealt with everything once we made a decision. We did not feel under any pressure to book but Janet has found us a super holiday in Sardinia. Watch this space & after the holiday in May I will let you know how things went.

Janet is extremely helpful and very knowledgable. Her service levels are amazing and prices competitive. I would highly recommend Janet Lewis at Travel Counsellors to organise your next holiday, short break or trip!

Jan has been arranging our family holidays for years - so when it came time to arrange the most important holiday of my life (the honeymoon) there was only one place to turn. Organising a wedding is pretty stressful so to have some of that taken away by offloading the honeymoon onto Jan was a real god send. She recommended a number of resorts across the world and we eventually settled on a two stop in Bali. Everything was planned perfectly and ran smoothly. Both resorts were absolutely sensational and all transfers etc were on time. Its just the fact that you dont have to spend any time worrying about anything that makes using Jan so worthwhile. You know it is all taken care of. Finally, it is the little touches that really set Jan apart. Every step of the way there were little notes and cards sending best wishes and even some flowers to come home to after the honeymoon! Wonderful. Highly recommended.

Janet was extremely professional and very knowledgeable, she responded very quickly and kept in regular contact prior to my trip. Could not have asked for a better service. I will call Janet when I need to plan travel again.

I am a very busy individual who finds it hard to believe that others can do something as well as I can. It's a flaw in my character. To trust someone to dot the i's and cross the t's and to put myself totally in their hands to organise the weird and wonderful places that I travel to. To trust someone to just get it right, right down to the station platform that I stand on is like letting go of the reins. Janet does this for me, with professionalism, with a smile and with flawless precision. I just can't and don't thank her enough.

Janet could not have been more helpful. I asked for her help giving her not very much to go on. With great patience and good humour she managed to sort out our perfect holiday . Without her, we would never have found it. Janet's aftercare is also fantastic. We will definitely be calling on Janet again..

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you for all the help, advice and care you gave us with our holiday booking to France. Each of the 5 places we stayed, were perfect and Euro Disney the icing on the cake! You took all the stress out of planning the trip and just left us to enjoy it - something that I will highly recommend to anyone I talk to. Thanks again and speak soon about our next trip :)

I came across Janet quite by chance, and believe me she has made my job so much easier. I could spend hours during my working day trying to source flights and accommodation only to have it all change at the last minute. Janet has taken this stress away from me and even when I suddenly have had to amend something it has not been a problem. Janet always provides a fast and excellent service and will always give 2 or 3 choices if available. I would most definitely recommend Janet and will continue to contact her with my travel requirements. First Class Service
