It's Nice To Meet You

Hello and welcome,

I am Allison, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Hindley, Wigan. I create carefully tailored holidays for couples, families, friends and solo travellers, from short European breaks to once in a lifetime adventures across the globe.

I have worked in travel for many years and have experience in arranging holidays to destinations all over the world. Whether you are looking for a beach escape, a family getaway, a city break, a special celebration trip, a cruise or a complex multi stop itinerary, I will take the time to understand what you are looking for and build a trip that feels just right for you.

Cruising is a particular passion of mine. I have personally cruised over 20 times, which means I can share real, first hand insight on different ships, itineraries and styles of cruising, from relaxed family friendly sailings to more luxurious, adult focused experiences.

I am also a huge Orlando fan and love helping clients make the most of everything Florida has to offer, from theme parks and attractions to quieter days by the pool or at the beach. However, my experience spans far beyond this, and I am just as happy planning a romantic European city break, a sun soaked Mediterranean holiday, an exotic long haul escape or an unforgettable tour.

As an independent Travel Counsellor, I offer a fully personalised, one to one service. I am not tied to any single tour operator, so I can explore a wide range of options and find what truly suits you, your style and your budget. I look after all the details, saving you time and taking away the stress of planning, with the reassurance that your money is fully financially protected.

My aim is simple: to make your holiday planning easy, enjoyable and completely tailored to you. From our first chat to the moment you arrive home, I am here to support you every step of the way.

If you are starting to think about your next trip, whether it is close to home or on the other side of the world, I would be delighted to help. Please feel free to call, email or message me and we can begin planning your next adventure.

Warm wishes,
Allison

Cruising in covid times part Two

Travel Day Despite being a regular traveller, I have to be honest I was a little nervous and before setting off for the airport, I double and triple checked my paperwork against the guidance, as it turned out I was worrying about nothing and other than a 20 min queue for bag drop, I breezed through the airport all the forms were fine and accepted and I had plenty of time for shopping, breakfast a

Having supported and guided customers through the varying travel rules throughout the summer, it was FINALLY my turn to travel Internationally for a cruise on NCL Getaway from Rome.

I take great pride in what I am booking for my customers. I am not on a salary so all the time I spend on people’s enquiries is my own time. I work on commission from suppliers when customers book, so you are assured that I will want to find you the best holiday to suit your requirements. Chances are I am the same price as most operators and I often package the holiday myself to get the best deal.

10/10 – Incredible from Start to Finish! We cannot thank Allison enough for the unforgettable experience she helped create. From the very beginning, she was nothing short of exceptional. Her attention to detail, dedication, and genuine passion for what she does were clear in every step of the planning process. Allison went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of our trip was perfect. No idea was too small, no request too tricky—she thought of everything, even the little touches that made the whole experience extra special. It felt like she truly cared about making our journey memorable, and it showed in the seamless organization and thoughtful surprises along the way. We’ve used travel agents before, but after working with Allison, we can confidently say we’ll never use anyone else. She’s raised the bar beyond anything we expected. From now on, it’s Allison every time! If you’re looking for someone who listens, delivers, and exceeds expectations, Allison is your go-to travel expert. A true professional with a personal touch. We wouldn’t plan another trip without her! From, Lee & Jennifer
