Perfect half term week at Neilson's Portomyrina Palace, Lemnos

'Relax as hard as you like' pretty much sums up our week in Lemnos with Neilson Beachclubs. First rate location, accommodation, food and activities meant that I didn't need to worry about a thing (other than when I needed to get to the tennis courts!). My children made friends, enjoyed all the activities and are already asking when we can go back. The staff were courteous, professional an

Jason Oakley

SW14 London

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.

Jane Pedroz

SW14 London

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!!

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.

Ann Marie Walsh

London

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.

Clyde Kellett

East Sheen, London

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.

Gareth Jones

London

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!

Hitesh Bhatt

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.

Sheree White

Mortlake, London

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!
