It's Nice To Meet You
Beach Holiday… City break….Cruise…Hotel…Safari…Flight…Bespoke Tour….UK Break…Ski.... I can help with them all!!
Hi, I’m Amanda, Thank you for visiting my website. I’ve enjoyed being a Travel Agent for almost 40 years, and though the past couple have been challenging, there’s nothing else I would rather do than help my clients with all their plans.
I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted the freedom to offer my clients a more personal professional service as only an independent agent can. I have access to award winning technology and hundreds of suppliers which means my clients will always benefit from the widest choice … You may ask why book with me and not the internet? That’s easy – I’m an expert – I check holidays every day so I know what's hot and what's not! Why bother spending your time trawling through the internet when you can just let me know what you are looking for and I'll do the rest. You also have the peace of mind knowing that every penny spent with me is 100% financially protected.
I treat every enquiry as if it were my own holiday – it’s important to me that my customers have a great time – I want you to come back to me… and to tell all your friends about me! I work from my office at home which means I can be available outside conventional working hours, so you can talk to me at a time which is convenient for you, and perhaps more important than ever before, you can relax knowing it’s only me you need speak to – be it before, during of after your holiday.
I look forward to hearing from you.

We always recommend Amanda to friends, family and colleagues (and also complete strangers)! She is amazing and endlessly patient. I wouldn’t book a holiday without her.

Amanda has made booking a family holiday for a family of 5 with separate rooms and lots of requirements so easy. She found us great options and the booking process super smooth I will always use Amanda’s services from here on.

What fantastic service! Amanda could not have been more helpful, especially when we had to amend our holiday destination. She was there straight away with new and suitable suggestions. I cant wait to enjoy my break!

Amanda was just brilliant. She had some great ideas for our family holiday, listened to my preferences and tailored a perfect itinerary to suit us. She was also extremely patient when I wanted to keep exploring other options - despite me going back to her first proposal- because of course she had got it right the first time! Clever Amanda! Would not hesitate to recommend her. Very knowledgable, professional and friendly. Worth her weight in gold!

Amanda has helped me with my travel plans for many years now and she is very knowledgeable and happy to assist in any way. This invaluable service is very much appreciated especially as most of our travel plans are bespoke and often to "off the beaten track" places. Her friendliness, professionalism and the knowing she is there for back up is also much appreciated and so I have recommended her to other friends also.

Amanda has been very helpful. She went out of her way to get exactly what I wanted for a holiday for myself and my two children. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to all my friends and family.

Amanda is patient and has to find us endless bits of information before I confirm the booking. This year she has helped with a holiday from Laos to Cambodia to Koi Samui in Thailand. Amanda has paid meticulous attention to detail from architecturally led hotels to specific tours. This makes the whole planning process exciting!

I’d definitely give 10/10 for Amanda. I have used Amanda's expertise for the last 6-7 years for my holidays and she has never let me down. She has excellent knowledge of holiday destinations and always tailors them to my requirements and her service is prompt, efficient and professional. I have passed on Amanda's details to many of my friends and family and will continue to do so. Go Amanda!!

Bonjour Nice!
17 August 2022
I’ve never been to the South of France before so when I got the chance to spend a few days in Nice I jumped at the chance. Fast track at Gatwick (would definitely recommend – only £5) and hand luggage made for a very smooth airport experience so in no time at all I had arrived! I was staying just outside the City – in Cagnes Sur Mer which is a pretty sea front village a with a small centre with
Ciao Italia
06 December 2018
It’s been many years since I last visited Italy, so when the opportunity came for a quick visit I obviously jumped at the chance. First stop Milan. Only an hour and a half from London and a night at the stylish and elegant Rosa Grand Hotel. You cannot get a better location in the city, strolling distance from the imposing Duomo Cathedral – some of the rooms have a view of the beautiful romantic
Jamaica, The Home of Alright
21 November 2017
It had been on my bucket list to go to Jamaica for a long time, so I jumped at the opportunity for a quick five-night break to look at some of the island’s most luxurious hotels and to see what the island had to offer. My only regret is I haven’t visited before! The first thing I noticed, even before leaving the airport, is the genuine warmth and happiness from the Jamaican people. I honestly d
Escape to Madrid
11 October 2017
We fancied a quick break without the kids…we wanted a short flight, a city with things to do, small enough to walk around without having to take cabs or public transport - and decided on Madrid where neither myself or hubby had been before. My only regret is I waited so long to visit this beautiful city. We stayed at the Melia Princesa Madrid, and upgraded to their ‘The Level’ room grade. This
