I started in the travel industry some 30 years ago and although I have successfully arranged all types of holiday experiences from family 'bucket and spade' trips in many beach resorts to 'holidays of a lifetime', my name is synonymous with ski and cycling holidays. Having skied in France, Austria, Italy, Andorra, Canada, Bulgaria, Norway and the USA, and sampled some of the best cycling routes such as Tour de Mont Blanc (a cycle from Chamonix back to Chamonix circumnavigating the magnificent Mont Blanc ) the Col de Tourmalet in the Pyrenees and Sa Calobra in Majorca. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many worldwide destinations and I can now share my memories and experiences with my customers.
I have access to over 3,000 suppliers which means I can tailor-make exactly the right holiday for you at a competitive price, whether it be a few nights away in New York, London or the Med.
Please feel free to contact me, or call in for a coffee to discuss your latest holiday requirements. Warmest regards,
Aaron Caddell

Aaron is very accommodating and easy to talk to. He reponds to requests quickly, efficiently and clearly. Even when we change our minds he is calm and deals with group situations well! He gives advice and as regular customers, he can give opinions and options we may not have thought of but that are generally correct. I would certainly recommend Aaron to friends.

Aaron Caddell has been organising my holidays for many years and the reason we keep going back to him - outside the banter - is that he has never let me down. Everything is organised to perfection. A first rate Travel Counsellor.

I have been booking ski holidays through Aaron for many years now and have recommended his services to friends, family and colleagues who I know are all delighted with the service that Aaron provides. In a time when the internet makes booking holidays fairly straight forward for most people, I think it speaks volumes about Aaron that I and many of my family and friends are repeat customers over many years.

Aaron has been very helpful organising the trip and helping include additional friends and family - not always an easy task! Anyhow all has been sorted - what a pleasant team to book with. We would look nowhere else to book again!

I received Aaron's details from a family member that had used his services before and found him to be generous with his time and details of hotels that she would have been going to while all other travel agents are withholding information for fear of clients going and booking online. As a result of circumstances outside her control she did not travel but always remembered the treatment she received and was only happy to recommend Aaron. I found him truly professional and a gentleman to do business with as he had a personal experience of the resort we proposed to go and could receive a recommendation. I would recommend him in future and am looking forward to my holiday. Regards, Rodney Brady

Aaron has been very professional to deal with. Any queries have been answered immediately and I have great respect for all he has done for us. I have used other agents but really think Aaron is the one I have complete faith in.

I've used Aaron's services for some years now and have every faith in him and his attention to detail takes all the hassle out of booking for me. He's extremely helpful and thinks outside the box on what might be needed when away. This trip to Turkey was completely fabulous and a recent trip to Rome simply the best city break I've ever had. I would recommend Aaron and Travel Counsellors without hesitation to family and friends and iindeed have done so. Well done and thank you.

Barbara and Christine have just returned from a marvellous trip to Sorrento and I want to thank you, yet again, for all your help and advice in organising the trip.
The travel arrangements could not have been better, the hotel was first class -I really appreciate all your professionalism in looking after our holiday arrangements. We have been to Portugal, perhaps six times, to Minorca, Majorca, Maderia and Lake Garda and I can safely say that we have not had one hitch in all those trips, thanks to all your hard work - and forbearance!

Aaron,
Holiday was a great success enjoyed by all, with everyone returning tired but intact.
No fresh snow but pistes were fine, sun shone for 5.5 of 6 days, hotel was great, food was superb!
Thanks again for your calm and efficient help in organising.
Let me know when you start to have info about what's available out of Belfast next year.

Hi Aaron, thanks again for organising a great ski trip. Even though it was only 4 days we had a great time and it was long enough, as we were up early every day and skied all day. If you get any more deals in winter or summer please keep me updated.
Thanks
