We are just back from a wonderful holiday in Greece, thanks to Amanda. This was our first holiday abroad as a family of three and Amanda took care of every detail. From an initial chat on the phone where she had invaluable advice on the types of resorts that would suit us, whether to go half board/full board and how much hold luggage to book, I felt reassured. The options Amanda presented were varied and met the brief, and she happily provided a little more detail for us to make our final choice. The holiday went off without a hitch, flights, transfer, hotel - everything was 10/10. Thank you, Amanda!

Amanda has been incredibly helpful (and patient) from the moment we started chatting about a holiday. Having always organised every holiday myself, it was lovely to let her take control of booking the villa, flights and car hire. Everything went smoothly and I can’t imagine not always using her for every trip in future.

Absolutely first class service during what must have been very challenging times.

Amanda was absolutely brilliant; she presented us with a number of good options, was very efficient and organised and her communication all the way through the process was excellent.

There’s no pressure from her but she dots every “i” and crosses every “t” to make a perfect holiday.

We have, and will continue to recommend Amanda to family and friends. She has always operated with complete professionalism and nothing is too much trouble.

We loved working with Amanda. She was always helpful and understanding of our circumstances, and I never felt like I was 'bothering' her with questions, as in our family there is always a bit of 'back and forth' when planning a holiday. I would definitely recommend her to friends, especially if they wanted a personalised service to take the stress out of planning a trip. Even though we were booking a package-type holiday she still had a few insider tips on the best rooms etc and could get info on our behalf with her contacts directly.

Amanda was most professional in her approach to arranging our Family holiday. She created some brilliant options for us, and we have peace of mind knowing that we are getting the most out of our time away. We are very much looking forward to our trip - thanks Amanda!!

So happy! Amanda has been amazing at helping us book a much needed holiday to Morocco. She had brilliant advice and knowledge, great contacts in Morocco who made hotel suggestions that we loved immediately and all within our budget.

Amanda took the time and effort out of booking a holiday and we are thrilled with the itinerary thank you so much. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.

So efficient and quick to respond! Would highly recommend Amanda and look forward to availing of her services again.

I decided to look at the website for a counsellor in my area which resulted in me phoning Amanda. We then met for coffee to discuss my very vague ideas for my holiday to Australia in 2018 which had to incorporate some time in Brisbane visiting friends and going to the Commonwealth games. Amanda came back with an amazing sounding cruise as a starting point and with Amanda's help I am now going on what should be an amazing trip for just over a month next year.

Amanda could not have been more helpful. She found the holiday we were looking for and took into account all our requirements. Most efficient and organised!

Amanda took care of everything for us and found a gorgeous place for us to go. A luxury to have her!

Amanda was absolutely brillant - she came up with some great holiday options and was patient, friendly, understanding and helpful. The booking process was really easy and it's great to know that everything is sorted and she's there if we need her for anything.

I can't thank you enough for what was truly an awesome holiday! We laughed so much and had the best time. The flights were great but the hotel was amazing. It was perfect for relaxing and chatting with a great restaurant.

Very efficient and friendly service, two good options for flights offered and all booked within the hour.

Amanda was fantastic – coming back with results quickly every time we kept changing the brief. I'm sure we were a pain but she was efficient, prompt and excellent every time.

Amanda was brilliant. She is really good at understanding what you are looking for, and she found the perfect holiday for us. She made the whole process really easy and painless. I would have full confidence in recommending Amanda, and we will definitely be using her services again.

I have never used a service like Amanda's before, priding myself on using Trip Advisor and online booking. However I wanted to book a Cunard cruise and had found dealing direct with Cunard a bit tiresome in the past so thought I would try Amanda. What a great decision! She organised everything speedily and efficiently and called me direct if there were any queries. She even got us the upgrade we were looking for. I cannot recommend her more highly, she is massively efficient but really friendly and knowledgeable too. I will certainly use her services again and I would strongly recommend anyone considering a holiday to try her.You won't regret it.

Amanda was really helpful in finding the right holiday for us at the right price. We are very grateful to her.

Amanda was truly fantastic. She was super efficient and speedy and gave us lots of ideas outside of 'normal' business hours. We felt she really understood what we were looking for. I have already recommended Amanda to family and friends and we will definitely be calling on her again!

I would definitely use Amanda again to help advise, plan and book our family holiday. She could not have been more helpful and offered a variety of options and great value for money. Thank you for being so efficient and for making the process painless.

Wonderfully accommodating, honest, encouraging and efficient. Cannot thank you enough!

Family trip to Florida: Good knowledge of flights, hotels and area, good price and a very personal experience!

Amanda Barrett Travel Counsellor organised the trip of a lifetime for the wife and I to go to New York to watch our daughter and her school choir sing at carnegie Hall. This was a once in a lifetime trip and one we felt required a bespoke travel arrangement. Amanda was briefed on the nature of our trip and delivered a flight and hotel package that couldn’t be more perfect. We both couldn’t recommend her service highly enough and have now booked a 3 week holiday using her service.

Amanda helped me plan and book our first overseas family holiday since having twins three years ago. Given that we also have a 12 year old daughter, our requirements were long, complicated and subject to frequent change! She came up with lots of suitable ideas that met our requirements, was patient as we chopped and changed our minds, and she also enabled us to get a really good deal! All in all, I thoroughly recommend Amanda if you want to take the pain away from planning and booking a holiday!

Amanda helped us to arrange a fantastic family adventure! She gave us some excellent advice and ideas for customising our trip to Malaysia and ensuring it suited us as a family. She put together a great package for us and we had a great time and created some very special family memories! Thanks very much

I contacted Amanda for help in booking a cruise departing Southampton in October 2015. The booking is made, including the coach travel from Preston to the Port of Southampton and flight returning from Barbados to Manchester. Amanda was friendly, helpful and efficient. All paperwork including all information and receipts were dealt with promptly and any questions were answered by return. We are greatly looking forward to our Caribbean Cruise and will have no hesitation in using Amanda and Travel Counsellors in the future and will certainly recommend her to any friends and relatives looking to book a holiday.

Amanda has been so helpful and attentive, booking a holiday for a familiy of ten people has been a breeze.

Amanda took the hassle out of booking my flights. The tickets were delivered to my door. Fantastic service and care. Thank you.

Booking a family holiday for 15 people was becoming a nightmare until I found Amanda, she has taken a huge weight off my shoulders by finding us the perfect holiday and accommodation. I couldn't be happier with the service I recieved and highly recommend her to anyone that wants a hassle free booking, she took care of everything.

Having always planned, worked out what was possible and booked holidays myself, it has been an amazing experience to have all of the hassle taken out of it. Right from the start Amanda has been on my side - helping me think through what I wanted, making some really helpful suggestions and then going away and making it all a reality! Importantly, Amanda has made it possible for me to go on an amazing trip - one that I just would not have had the time or energy to plan. Thank you!
