Based in Scalloway

Michelle Gibson

It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, my name is Michelle Wishart and I would like to welcome you to my personal website at Travel Counsellors.

I am based in the idyllic Shetland Isles where I have lived all my life. You will find me in Scalloway where I live with my partner Craig.

I have been in the travel industry for the past 34 years and have run my own successful agency until recently. I took the decision to join Travel Counsellors as the this is the way forward for the industry and I believe this will be beneficial to my customers for many reasons, including the highest level of customer service and reputation Travel Counsellors enjoy. Their award-winning technology makes it easy for me to find the perfect holiday. I am passionate about providing the best service to my clients.

Over the years I have visited Maldives, Jamaica, St Lucia, Barbados, Orlando, Majorca, Monaco, Italy, Turkey, Norway, Norfolk Broads. I have had the pleasure of a couple of cruises including being invited on the inaugural cruise from Rotterdam to Southampton of the Norwegian Pearl which was totally awesome! What an opportunity to see so much and unpack only once!

I specialise in both business and leisure travel. Travel Counsellors also offer a unique Bridal Registry Service which enables couples to have the chance to have their honeymoon paid for by their guests, instead of receiving the usual china, glass, pots and pans!

As your personal Travel Counsellor I will use my experience combined with the best technology to find your ideal holiday. On average you might spend 10 hours surfing the web analysing offers. Treasure your precious spare time and let me find your ideal holiday while you relax and do something for you - whether this be shopping, a round of golf or lunch with the girls! I can work around your schedule as I am available day or night. You can just sit back and relax and I will take care of the rest.

Pick up the phone or e-mail me and I will provide a quick, friendly and efficient stress-free way to book.

Whether it be a flight to Aberdeen, train to Glasgow, a cottage in Cornwall, a holiday to Majorca, or the trip of a lifetime Down Under get in touch now.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Very helpful. On one holiday I had to fly back because of a bereavement and she organised everything for me. I would have been stuck without her as I was unable to do anything because I could not concentrate. Since then I have booked my holidays (New York etc.) through her. Recommend Michelle to anybody.

Sent by Sandra Anderson

Michelle is always very professional, she responds very quickly to any email/phone call requests and nothing is ever a problem for her, she's a great travel agent.

Michelle goes above and beyond. She is so helpful and is there to sort out many last minute changes that we quite often spring on her. We have used her services for so many year that we feel she really is part of our office administration team and her help is invaluable.

Excellent service from Michelle at Travel Counsellors as usual, always a wonderful service and much appreciated by me. Thanks.

Sent by Dianne Hughson

I have always found Michelle excellent to deal with in all travel associated with my work, she is polite and always very helpful to explore all possibilities for the various flights and accommodation required for our business. We have quite a few foreign fishermen travelling but she does her best to find best value flights! I often book our personal family travel arrangements also with Michelle, as she gives all bookings great thought to find the most suitable and best priced flights etc. I would recommend Michelle and Travel Counsellors to all my family and friends!

Sent by Jennifer Williamson

I knew Michelle already through my work, as she provides travel arrangements for my employers, so when we decided to book flights for our family holiday I knew exactly who I should ask! Thanks Michelle for all your help, you always go above & beyond, your service to us is invaluable.
