It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Alison Kent and I am an independent Travel Counsellor. I live in Eltham with my partner John and our much‑loved menagerie: Bill, Ernie and Blossom the dogs, Mabel the cat, Coco, Petal, Pearl and Bree the guinea pigs, and Henrietta, Oregon, Florence, Pretoria and Dottie the chickens. It is a busy, happy home, and travel stories are very much part of the fabric of our lives.

My love affair with travel began when I was five years old, listening wide‑eyed to the stories of my big brother’s glamorous air hostess girlfriend. I decided there and then that I would work in travel, and I have been fortunate enough to spend the last 47 years doing exactly that.

Over those four and a half decades I have held a variety of senior roles across the industry, from high‑street retail and student travel to cruise, tour operating and high‑end tailor‑made. I have managed branches and regions, overseen fares and ticketing, led VIP and leisure sales teams, and worked as a product manager for destinations including the Indian Ocean, Caribbean and UAE. I have also spent time living in the USA and working at sea, which has given me a deep, first‑hand understanding of how every part of a journey fits together for my clients.

In March 2017 I was headhunted by Travel Counsellors. It felt a little daunting at first, but the flexibility of working from home, running my own business, and still having the support of our Head Office in Manchester quickly won me over. Most importantly, it allows me to give my clients truly dedicated, one‑to‑one service instead of being tied to a standard 9.00 to 5.30 day. I am incredibly proud of the level of service and care I provide, and many of my clients return to me time and again and recommend me to their friends and family.

I have visited around 70% of the world and have no plans to stop. My adventures this year will take me to Moldova, the Faroe Islands, the Azores and France. My current bucket list includes Zanzibar, Greenland, Borneo and Antarctica. My all‑time favourite destination is South Africa, and I am especially passionate about Africa as a whole: its wildlife, landscapes, cultures and people. I also have a real soft spot for the Balkans, with their complex history, dramatic scenery and wonderfully warm hospitality.

Responsible tourism is at the heart of how I like to travel and how I like to plan for my clients. Wherever possible I work with properties and experiences that support local communities, protect wildlife and minimise their impact on the environment, so that the trips we create are not only unforgettable but also positive for the places we visit.

Some of my most memorable travel experiences include: gorilla trekking in Rwanda, swimming with dolphins in Oman and turtles in Barbados in their natural habitats, wolf trekking in Spain, volunteering at an AIDS clinic in Uganda, and seeing the Big Five in Kenya and Tanzania. I have crossed 80 degrees north in the Arctic and seen a blue whale, snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef, surfed in Hawaii, practised yoga on the beach in Bali, stayed in a traditional ryokan at Mount Fuji, travelled on the Orient Express from Bangkok to Singapore, and taken the Rocky Mountaineer from Vancouver to Banff. I have also been caving in Oregon, coffee tasting in Colombia, backpacking in Syria (once only 90 km from Baghdad), and even had the surreal experience of being offered a baby for sale in Papua New Guinea.

Travel has given me lifelong friends around the world and a few unforgettable celebrity encounters, including meeting the legendary Pelé and my travel hero Judith Chalmers, who once introduced me at a cruise conference as “more travelled than she is”.

I live and breathe travel and I am passionate about using my knowledge, insight and experience to make your travel dreams come true, in a way that is thoughtful, enriching and responsible. I look forward to hearing from you and helping you plan and book your next unforgettable journey.

Moldova: An Undiscovered Gem

Moldova: An Undiscovered Gem

After years of exploring Europe’s better-known corners, my recent trip to Moldova felt like stepping into a secret that the rest of the world has not yet discovered. Based in a characterful wine hotel in the capital, Chișinău, I spent several days uncovering monasteries carved into cliffs, grand old mansions, atmospheric wine cellars, and leafy city boulevards. For well-travelled clients who feel

A Woodland Birthday Escape at Tilford Woods: Sauna, Forest Walks and Three Happy Dogs

Sometimes the best celebrations are the simple ones: time together, fresh air and a cosy place to come home to. For John’s birthday weekend, we escaped to Tilford Woods in Surrey and checked into a Watersedge 1‑bedroom, dog‑friendly lodge with its own private sauna, bringing along our three very excited dogs. It turned out to be exactly what we all needed: a peaceful woodland hideaway, birthday t

Jan Frankham

Lanzarote was beautiful and didn’t disappoint as always. Alison took all the pain out of choosing our holiday, we gave her our budget, but literally said we’d go anywhere, she gave us a few options, & we chose Lanzarote as we’d been before and knew it would be easy to settle in. However, the hotel far exceeded our expectations, Mynd hotel in Playa Blanca is a relatively new hotel with a new concept, they are very environmentally friendly & focussed on sustainability, even their beer helps save the ocean! The food in our B&B package was awesome, one of the best I’ve ever had, so much fresh fruit, home made yogurt, hot food, great choice of juices and fresh coffee, you couldn’t ask for more. They have a hotel in 2 sections, family zone and adult zone, both have 2 pools and they were gorgeous. I can’t recommend this hotel more. Jet 2 were great too, a slight delay both ways, but efficient. Thank you Alison, you’re the best! Xx

Helen Barrow

Alison! I wanted to say a big big thank you for all your help with our city break. You are always professional, patient, and so helpful to find exactly what I am looking for. My recent trip to Lisbon you went well above and beyond my expectations. We had a drama on the way home, with easyJet messing around with flight times and political marches in the city centre meant we were seriously up against it to catch our flight, it was Saturday, you put yourself out and made calls, sent emails to ensure everything went smoothly. Absolute Platinum service. I highly recommend Alison for all your holiday needs

Sarah Littley

LONDON

I had the BEST time! For my first holiday outside the UK for three years, I wanted something special, individual to me, but on a fairly tight budget. Alison absolutely delivered. She patiently took the time to get to know a bit about me and find out exactly what I wanted, what I like and more importantly, what I definitely don’t like. This meant she was able to tailor a trip to perfectly meet my needs. Alison’s long service in the travel industry along with her own extensive travels, mean she is uniquely placed to offer advice and guidance based on very personal experience. She found me the perfect spot to explore Athens having discovered my interest in history and my love of Greek mythology and philosophy. Alison recommended Naxos for the relax and revive part of my holiday; an island I had never visited before but which suited me to a tee – quiet beaches, lovely family owned tavernas and wonderfully welcoming people! Where Alison really stood out for me, was when I had to change the dates for personal reasons. Her “no problem” attitude, and efficient service in getting everything pushed back by almost three months meant the whole change was completely stress free. I honestly can’t recommend Alison highly enough, and can’t wait to get chatting to her about my next trip.

Christine Fox

Alison is absolutely brilliant! So knowledgeable, helpful and professional. She takes all the pain away and makes the booking experience simple. She’s also been almost everywhere so can always recommend places to visit to make your trip memorable! Well done & thank you

Everything worked well for the Spain trip, and we all had a great time. The Melia hotel was great, and the Level Lounge access was brilliant. Cordoba hotel was amazing!! The old Roman ruins under the glass floor of the breakfast room at the hotel was incredible. Also, the pool area was fantastic given that the temp was over 40degrees! Alhambra Palace was stunning! Food here was unbelievable! One thing to note (although I'm sure your supplier would advise you if you were booking a tour) was that to visit the Alhambra you need to have your passport with you. So many people were getting turned away, but thankfully the hotel advised us. Appreciate all your assistance as always! Here is a comment for you.

She is so knowledgeable, was patient with all our questions and offered tips and suggestions to improve our holiday.

Tracey Stewart

Alison is such a friendly and enthusiastic person. She took the time to listen to what my fiancé and I wanted for our unique holiday. Alison not only found a holiday package that matched our requirements but it included even more amazing things which we are really excited to do! I felt comfortable asking all the questions we had in regards to booking the holiday and feel reassured that if I have any further questions at any point I can always ask her. We are really looking forward to our once in a lifetime trip, thank you so much Alison!

Jasmine Chapman

Alison was so helpful, making sure that we had everything we wanted for all the family and all on budget. The process was so pain-free, no more unless looking through the net, comparing sites and TripAdvisor! Alison had four great choices within a day and was still willing to adjust further to make our perfect holiday. In my opinion, you value a company based on how it deals with issues and Alison is first class. I made an error with the dates and within a day this had been changed to what would work, Alison made a potentially very stressful situation simple. I cant wait to book my next holiday.

Alison was fantastic! She took a lot of stress off our shoulders in finding our holiday. We tend to start doing the research for a holiday, then hit a few challenges and give up. The then leaves us little time to book anything and prices have rocketed in the meantime. We shall definitely be using you again in the future. Thank you.

Jodi Eeles

Kent

Alison has been amazing. From the moment that she took on our first booking, Alison has been completely professional, whilst still being friendly and helpful throughout. She has kept us informed at every step of the way, making us aware of nuances that we did not know about and that were a result of these strange travelling times. When we had to cancel a trip due to covid, Alison managed the whole process from start to finish. On our current booking, the original carrier pulled our flights. However, Alison was able to find a replacement flight for all six of us, and still enabling us to fly on the original date. I cannot recommend Alison enough. We will definitely be booking all our future trips and holidays through her.

Susan Williamson

Dick Goodwin

Herts

I asked Alison if she could find me somewhere quiet to go for a couple of weeks holiday with my (Boxer) dog, I chose Alison because I had heard of her great reputation and also on talking to her, unlike so many other Travel Agents, she has been to so many places and has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She didn’t disappoint, she has so much patience in what is such a tricky time trying to find appropriate destinations for people. She took the time to talk to me and find out what would be suitable for us, not just trying to flog us a holiday for the sake of it! We are staying in a beautiful thatched cottage in Selsey which is well equipped, full of character and perfect for our needs. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Alison for your next getaway, I will certainly be contacting her for our next trip! 5*’s to you Alison. ??

We provided Alison a brief for a UK holiday for our family. She asked all the right questions to ensure that the recommendations she made fitted the brief and provided suitable alternatives when we changed our minds and adjusted our requirements. The final holiday home that we booked through Alison was just stunning and incredible! The facilities and location exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much. We would certainly recommend that anyone looking to book travel in the UK or abroad (hopefully soon!) should speak with Alison.

Tristan Adams

Alison was recommended to us by some friends who were so pleased with the service they received from Alison, they encouraged us to speak to her before we booked our main family holiday. We have typically researched and returned to fairly familiar family friendly places. We were delighted when not only did Alison manage to arrange the perfect flights, she also managed to get our family holiday at an extremely competitive price. The service was highly proficient but equally relaxed. Alison has since recommended, researched and priced many further options with patience and care. Her expertise and industry knowledge are second to none. We are very excited and looking forward to booking further adventures with Alison in the future. We would highly recommend for all types of Travel.

Stacey Brown

Alison Kent has provided us with excellent advice , support and a host of good ideas to help us plan a fairly complex holiday . Which, after all her efforts has now been aborted by the virus. She has helped us unpick and recover our funds and has been a proactive and professional Travel Advisor to us at all times . I would heartily recommend her to any one planning travel once the lock down is lifted, she is a “Gem”.

Julian Cartwrigh

I would just like to say how delighted we were with the service and care we received from Alison in organising, developing and then delivering the most amazing holiday in Japan! From an initial chat with a just few ideas of what we would like to see and do, she planned and organised a detailed itinerary, hotel stays, train and bus tickets etc. We were met at the airport and received a pack with everything we needed in it. We had such a fantastic time! We won’t hesitate to use Alison again or recommend her to any of our friends.

My Travel Counsellor Alison Kent was very helpful when it came to my needs and if anyone I know wants a tailor made holiday Alison would be some-one I would definitely recommend. I had specific requests for my trip and Alison looked into everything for me and found exactly what I was looking for.

Alison listened to our needs and found us a perfect family holiday! She was very knowledgeable on different places that would be suitable for our kids! She took the stress away off searching for holidays, when we didn’t really know what we was looking at and could have easy got sucked in to all the hidden cost that some companies hide until the end! Alison was able to find us the best deals and flights! We would definitely be recommending Alison to friends and family, and will be using her for all our holidays in the near future!

Alison is professional, proactive, organised and calm. Alison managed a holiday for my wife and I to Rhodes, that due to surgery we had to postpone for just over a month. Alison managed the change without fuss or bother and we had an amazing holiday. We have just completed our 2nd booking with Alison, a wedding anniversary family holiday for our entire family, our sons and daughter, their partners and grandchildren. Once again, Alison, managed the whole process impeccably, the package, reserved seats, airport lounge, assistance at Stanstead. Without question, Alison will be managing my future travel arrangements and I would unreservedly recommend Alison to family, friends and colleagues.

Emma Wilson

London

Alison really went above and beyond. I was looking for a last minute flight out to South Africa. I spent close to 7 hours fighting with airlines and other travel agents, whose prices seemed falsey advertised and changed everytime I called to book. I gave Alison my trip details and within the hour she had come back to me with flight options that suited my needs and she booked me in. Alison kept in contact and handled all my airline affairs such as checking me in for all my flights and keeping me updated with information regarding my trip. 100% recommended.

Tony Boyle

Purfleet, Essex

My friends and I used Alison who I have known for a number of years to book our holiday in September. She gave us advice on our suggested places but as these were proving difficult due to our wishing to travel from Leeds Bradford Airport she suggested Portugal Alison gave us a multi choice of accommodation and was able to answer all our questions on same.We booked our holiday with her following her suggestions. The whole process was painless for us for it was dealt with efficiently and on time. All communications were dealt with promptly and without fuss. Alison was very willing to discuss all aspects of our holiday whether it be place or accommodation. Nothing was too much trouble. We shall certainly use Alison to book future holidays and would definitely recommend her to others .
