It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to my page! I’m Alice, and I am delighted to meet you. If you are on the lookout for that dream getaway then you are in the right place.

I specialise in tailor-made, bespoke itineraries for busy professionals; whether it be a family holiday, bucket-list adventure, honeymoon or anything else in between. I work with clients from all walks of life.

I provide a bespoke and personal service when it comes to booking those all-important holidays. Holidays are some of the most important events in our calendars and I want to help you make the most of that valuable time away from the daily grind. As a Travel Counsellor, I truly care about you and your needs, and I want to turn your dream holiday into a reality. I do what is right by you as my client.

Let me tell you a little bit about how I work. I start off by getting to know you to get a clear understanding of what you want from your holiday and the sort of traveller you are. I pride myself on my attention to detail and thoroughness, so I will take the time to talk to you before I then turn my creative hand to designing your dream holiday, hand-picking every element. My objective is to present you with an itinerary that 100% has you in mind, is tailor-made and individual to you and generates those endorphins that booking a holiday gives you. Once you book with me, my service does not end there, and I will be your personal concierge until after you return from your trip. I'm able to arrange airport car parking, a hotel the night before you fly, a luxurious airport lounge and security fast-track, as well as activities and excursions to enhance your holiday experience. If you are looking for something extra special, I can arrange travel by private jet and helicopter travel to arrive in style at your chosen destination.

I can also offer you a one-stop shop for your travel plans with the "myTC" App and Web Portal where you can access your quotes, make secure payments and view your fabulous itineraries once booked. UK and home-based, I’m available at a time to suit you on the phone, WhatsApp and by email. Where I can, I will try to meet you in person for that first exciting chat about your travel plans. As part of the multi-award-winning Travel Counsellors, when you book with me, your money is safely held in our independant financial trust and all package holidays are ATOL protected, giving you complete peace of mind.

I've experienced fantastic holidays myself with my husband, family and friends. I’ve enjoyed staying in 4- and 5-star luxury resorts and smaller, more boutique hotels. I’ve visited many countries in Europe and parts of the world much further afield, such as Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, the USA and the Caribbean. A personal favourite is Thailand, and I’ve enjoyed stays in Bangkok, Khao Lak, Koh Samui and Koh Phangan, as well as having visited the stunning Similan Islands. I’ve travelled on multi-centre holidays, twin-centre escapes, immersed myself in city breaks, and relaxed on indulgent beach getaways, as well as released my inner child to enjoy exciting theme parks in Florida and Europe. I can help you with any type of holiday and with the support of a community of over 2000 Travel Counsellors, I have expert knowledge at my fingertips.

I would absolutely love to help you with your travel plans so what are you waiting for? Send me an enquiry, let’s grab that coffee (virtual or in person) and have a chat so we can start to plan your dream holiday; personal to you and with those all-important details that make it extra special.

My customer stories

Sent by Andy Saunders

We visited Kuala Lumper and Bali for a two zone holiday l, that was extremely well planned and organised, everything was seamless and therefore stress free for us. Alice, our travel counsellor had taken the time to understand our requirements, likes and dislikes and created a beautiful holiday just for us. There was some lovely touches, a welcome note on arrival at our hotel, an early check in, which meant when we arrived after a 12.5 hour flight and transfer to our hotel, we were given access to our room straight away at 9:25am - that was so welcome. Private transfers, well planned trips and hints and tips given to us, to make sure we enjoyed our break. We don’t usually use a travel counsellor but based on this experience, we will definitely be using Alice’s services again.

I called Alice to help with a trip to Lapland. Although I had an idea of what I wanted to do there I had no idea of locations, transfer times or where activities take place. Alice took time to get to know me and to really understand what I needed from a holiday. She came back with three different options. I’m quite fussy and asked if we could change some of the setup, this was no problem to Alice who again came back with three potential options. One of which suited perfectly! The quotes were easy to see within app and so too was paying the deposit. I went from not having a clue about Lapland to booking in just a couple of days. Alice took all the stress away and made it so easy!

I would highly recommend Alice to book your next holiday through. She did a great job looking into River Cruises for myself and my husband. We have never done a river cruise before so didn’t know who was the best and who we should go with - Alice really went above and beyond to help us source the right cruise and we are really looking forward to our trip next year.

I would highly recommend booking your holiday with Alice. I enquired about a trip to Sri Lanka, and from the very beginning she took the time to make me feel comfortable and truly understand me, my family, and everything we wanted from our getaway. She kept me informed at every stage and even suggested excursions she knew my children would love. The itinerary she crafted was absolutely perfect, thoughtfully balancing the downtime my children needed with the once-in-a-lifetime experiences my partner and I were hoping for. It was clear she had put real care and consideration into every detail. I cannot thank her enough for her time, patience, and thoughtful planning. Highly recommended!

Sri Lanka: A Small Island Full of Big Moments

03 March 2026

Every so often I visit somewhere that reminds me exactly why I do what I do. Sri Lanka was one of those trips. Rather than rushing around ticking off sights, I travelled with a private driver‑guide who met us in Colombo, stayed with us throughout, and dropped us back at the airport at the end. It felt like travelling with a local friend who knew all the secret viewpoints, snack stops and stories

Sintilating Singapore

Singapore was always on my list of cities to visit but Race Across The World really gave me the oomph to make it happen. What. A. City. Prior to life as a Travel Counsellor, I went here having booked through another travel provider. Ask me about Singapore and I will talk to you about it with enthusiasm and excitement! My husband and I tagged Singapore on to the end of a dreamy beach holiday to Th
