Tailor‑made holidays, designed around you.
Are you dreaming of a holiday that feels truly special, designed entirely around you and the way you love to travel?
I am Allison, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Hindley, Wigan, and I specialise in creating bespoke, premium holidays for couples, families, friends and solo travellers. With nearly 20 years of full time experience in the travel industry, this is far more than a job or a business for me, it is a genuine passion. From chic European city breaks to once in a lifetime journeys across the globe, every itinerary I design is tailored to your preferences, pace and personality.
Over the years I have crafted everything from elegant beach escapes and sophisticated celebration trips to complex, multi stop itineraries. I take the time to really get to know you, then carefully handpick the right hotels, experiences and thoughtful touches that transform a good holiday into an unforgettable one.
Cruising is a particular passion of mine. Having personally cruised more than 20 times, I can offer genuine, first hand insight on a wide range of ships and itineraries, from relaxed, family friendly sailings to more refined, adult focused and luxury experiences. Whether you are looking for a stylish Mediterranean voyage, island hopping in the Caribbean or a longer, more immersive itinerary, I can help you find the perfect match.
I am also a huge USA fan and love designing tailored American adventures. I have visited many US states, including Texas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri and Oklahoma, to name just a few, and can help you combine iconic cities, scenic drives, world class theme parks and quieter coastal or countryside hideaways into one seamless trip. Alongside this, I regularly plan romantic European city breaks, sun soaked Mediterranean escapes, exclusive long haul retreats and privately guided tours.
As your dedicated Travel Counsellor, you work directly with me from start to finish. I take care of the planning, the research and the organisation, checking the fine details so you do not have to. Whether it is selecting the right hotel, choosing the best cruise cabin or shaping a multi stop itinerary, my focus is always on what feels right for you. Throughout, you will have the reassurance of full financial protection and the personal support of someone who genuinely cares about your trip.
My aim is simple: to make your holiday planning feel effortless, enjoyable and completely unique to you. From our first conversation to the moment you return home, I am here to provide personal support, expert guidance and thoughtful touches that make your experience feel special.
If you are starting to think about your next getaway, whether it is a short indulgent break or a once in a lifetime adventure, I would be delighted to help. Call, email or message me today and let us begin creating a beautifully tailored holiday you will always remember.
Warm wishes,
