It's Nice To Meet You

I started working in the travel industry in 1995 and the excitement of travelling continues to grow as I discover more and more amazing destinations myself and also through my clients. As well as my leisure clients, I also look after some Corporate travellers and School Trips.

There is no better feeling than hearing how amazing a trip was, knowing that I created that trip and ensured that every step was smooth, from enquiry to returning home. My extensive travel knowledge allows me to advise you on all aspects of your trip, from travel to accommodation, excursions, attraction tickets and much more with full financial protection.

As your personal Travel Counsellor, I can offer unbiased advice using many suppliers with whom we have negotiated specialist rates and upgrades to add value to your trip.

I am happy to discuss your travel needs at any time that is convenient to you and I pride myself on the service that I offer. If I exceed your expectations, then I am happy, and I will look forward to doing the same for your next trip. I am fortunate to have access to the best suppliers worldwide to create the most amazing trip, designed especially for you.

What is next on your travel wish list ?

Cruise the Med, the Caribbean, Thailand, USA, Australia…. or all of it?

Relax on a beach in Greece, Spain, France, Croatia, Turkey, Florida or the Caribbean?

See the sights in Italy, Iceland, New York, Germany, South America, China or Thailand?

Get married abroad or plan that luxury Honeymoon ?

Explore Sri Lanka, Namibia, Kenya, South Korea, Japan, New Zealand or Costa Rica ?

Whatever you want, I’d love to help you make your travel dreams become a reality.

Never been a huge fan until now....

Never been a huge fan until now....

We took the opportunity to try a few hotels in Costa Adeje in February. I have never been the biggest fan of Tenerife due to thinking it was all a little bit British! We found some gems and I was proved so wrong. We stayed in Bahia del Duque, possibly the most beautiful hotel in the area. The service was first class, the views stunning, and the food was great. It was also a great location to acce

So much more to do than lie on the beach !

I last visited this beautiful island in 2001 and immediately loved it. I have never seen waters so clear. I grabbed the opportunity to return in May this year, this time to include visits to 7 hotels, experience various excursions and learn more about the island, hosted by Antigua Tourist Board. I took lots of photos, but I still think it’s hard to capture the colours and the beauty of the islan

Launch of Celebrity Edge - a game changing cruise ship

I was so lucky to be asked to join many other agents, VIPs and cruise industry leaders on a 2-night sailing to experience all that this amazing new ship can offer. I can honestly say that the food, service, design, cabins and layout of the ship were amazing. Your typical ocean view cabin has a floor to ceiling window instead of the traditional picture window or porthole you would expect. The desi

Christmas in the Middle East

Christmas in the Middle East

For our festive break, we wanted some guaranteed Christmas sunshine without having to board multiple flights. We’ve visited Dubai a few times and so we opted for Abu Dhabi. It offers so much for families and golfers so it seemed like a great option. During our five-night stay in central Abu Dhabi, we went down to the Corniche Beach on Christmas morning. We had coffees and ice creams with gold l

We flew into Naples and got the bus to the train station, this was a bit of an experience, as was the train journey to

S Sanderson

Newcastle upon Tyne

We were initially recommended the travel counsellors and we spoke with Alison Auld and we were very glad we did. We told her where we wanted to go and our budget. She came back with several recommendations, properties and prices. We went back to her several times with what was right for us and each time she got back to us with more suggestions and in no time we had the holiday WE wanted booked. Throughout the process Alison was approachable, super professional and very confident she would get us the holiday we wanted. This process for us was excellent because it took away the stress and time of us looking ourselves,our trip includes multiple flights in both directions and having to find and book this ourselves was daunting. Alison took that problem away so for us it was stress free.We would definately recommend Alison as a point of contact at the travel counsellors for all your holiday needs.

Alison has been first-class in every aspect of her work in finding, arranging and seeing through our holiday experience.

As a fussy client, I wanted to know what ALL my options were, which was not a problem to Alison at all. I cannot recommend Alison and the Travel Counsellors system enough.
