It's Nice To Meet You
With more than 25 years’ experience in making holidays and travel accessible and inclusive to all, it is with great excitement and anticipation that I join the Travel Counsellors global family of award-winning travel professionals. It’s going to be an amazing journey!
In my previous role as General Manager of one of the UK's leading accessible tour operators, Accessible Travel, I was able to establish a unique insight and understanding of how to create holidays and travel that meet the requirements of customers with even the most complex access and mobility requirements.
I have enjoyed seamlessly making holidays accessible and my comprehensive service includes, assistance through airports and on flights, adapted transfers, guaranteed accessible rooms, through to hiring of equipment, nursing care and accessible excursions.
Having curated holidays, just not for a specialist market, along with drawing on my travel experience through more than 50 countries, I instinctively match holidays and listen to my customers’ tailoring holidays to individual needs and requirements. I love finding out where you’ve been and where you want to go, because sometimes travel is about heightening your imagination and finding those things you never knew you were looking for.
But of course, the most important relationships over the years have been with my valued clients, many now friends. It is so rewarding that you are already allowing me the pleasure to plan and book your future holidays and travel. That means so much. But what is really exciting about being a Travel Counsellor is that I will now be able to offer an almost unlimited range of destinations and holiday opportunities to everyone, that simply cannot be matched by any other travel organisation. This will mean I can help realise your travel ambitions and dreams in a way that was simply not previously possible. Add to this round-the-clock support wherever you are in the world, 100% financial protection and of course a personal, caring service without compromise and it really is going to be a future without limits!

Ali has gone far and beyond to help myself and my client to ensure he has everything he needs. Without her expertise and advice we couldn't have done it without her.

My mum and I have been booking through Ali for many years. She knows my needs and has a great idea on what hotels will suit me and be most comfortable. I find booking holidays so overwhelming and Ali makes it so much easier. If it wasn’t for her I don’t think I would be travelling.

I only have to give my TC a short list of my preferred requirements and she comes back to me with a few hotels that neatly fit the bill. All that’s left is for me and my travel companions to choose our preferred hotel. Easy peasy. She takes all the stress and strain out of finding a suitable hotel, specially as I need an accessible one.

Hi Ali! Well, once again you have come up trumps with what was really, quite a complicated package this time! Everything flowed beautifully through India, domestic flights and cars, and the hotels were superb! There could be another trip to Gangtok for Simrin's wedding in the Spring, but I'll be sure to let you know in good time! I have already recommended Travel Counsellors to folk this holiday, and will continue to do so, Ali, no problem! Thank you for your lovely, personal service - it exudes confidence, and I know I can always rely on you to prepare things exactly as I ask! I don't know how you do it - but you do! Thank you!

Ali is very easy to talk to discuss holiday requirements. Nothing is too much trouble. She came back very quickly with the original holiday quote, offering a choice of two very suitable hotels. We chose the one we wanted and even asked Ali to make a slight adjustment to the travelling dates and times which she completed in no time at all. This is the second time I’ve used Ali to book a holiday and I am very pleased with how it has all turned out.

I always unintentionally make life hard for Ali, changing direction, altering the brief and constantly adding bits on and taking bits off. I have a large family with lots going on so end up dumping everything in her lap. I'm always amazed at how quick she comes back to me, never forgetting any of my random requests even down to the tiniest detail. She's brilliant and a real pleasure to work with. Very knowledgeable and attentive from start to finish. Well done Ali a true professional but like working with a friend.

Ali Parker is fantastic and helpful and has placed several of my clients on great holidays this year, despite the uncertain travel restrictions. I would highly recommend Ali and trust her to communicate and support my clients, especially given the confusion around what documents and tests are needed. I have also had the opportunity to compare Ali's service at Travel Counsellors with other agents offering a similar service for clients with access challenges. In my view, Ali has been way better in terms of service, communication, holiday options, professionalism and building rapport with my clients. Definitely scores 10 out of 10.
Scott Hodder

This is the second time that Ali has arranged a holiday for me - the first one, last year, was quite a one-off, being just myself on selected railways in India; also, at the very start of the Coronavirus problem! Everything ran like clockwork; your reps were excellent, and last minute adjustments due to a flight cancellation, were handled with great care and speed! This is the reason that two of us have asked Ali to handle a two-week stay in The Gambia, which has been done with her usual speed and professionalism! Excellent!
Norman Downer

My wife had a stroke some years back which left her in a wheelchair. Ali has managed most of our holidays since, helping us get to Crete, and more recently, a cruise to New York. The cruise was eventually aborted but Ali took care of all the details with a clear understanding of our specialist needs. I have no hesitation in recommending her services and will certainly be contacting her for our next trip.

Our holiday was just incredible; the best we’ve had yet! When we emailed months ago with a list of what we wanted you met every wish and created the best holiday - there is no way we could have done it without you! The hotel was just perfect; they couldn’t do enough for us and provided an excellent service with delicious food and drinks a plenty. The kids were hooked on non-alcoholic daiquiris all week! We created the most wonderful memories in Barbados and fell completely in love with the island; it had history, culture, safety and is inhabited by the most laid back and lovely friendly people. Thank you so much for your work in putting together the perfect holiday and ensuring that it was so easy! TC ted was a huge hit with the kids and loved his holiday too!
