It's Nice To Meet You

If the thought of planning your next holiday feels overwhelming, I’m here to take care of everything for you. Travel has become more intentional so I expect you're looking for professional advice to understand exactly what you need to get the best from your time away.

You can take advantage of my expertise when I plan your trip for you as I care about your travels as much as my own. I’ll find out what's important to you and recommend some tailored options within your budget. Let me book everything for you - flights and hotels, airport lounges, airport parking, insurance, even dining & resort activities - taking all the stress and hassle out of organising your trip.

Think of me as your personal travel concierge, there for you throughout, with the backing of a world leading, international travel company and our 24/7 duty office. When you hire me to plan your travel, you'll have a real person to take care of everything, only a phone call away.

Every trip I book is also 100% financially protected through the unique Travel Counsellors Trust. Having that peace of mind is not something you can find everywhere.

I've had wanderlust since I first went on a plane aged 12 and still love the excitement of going to the airport. I skipped university to join Thomas Cook as a trainee, and have since worked in the travel industry for 25+ years at American Express Travel, lastminute.com and TUI delivering VIP service to clients in UK and overseas.

When you're ready to chat about your next adventure, I'll be here to make it happen. Simply use the ‘Contact Angela’ or 'Get in Touch' links .

Cruise Short Breaks from Southampton: A Taste of Luxury at Sea

Cruise Short Breaks from Southampton: A Taste of Luxury at Sea

Short cruise breaks from Southampton offer the perfect escape – just a few days of relaxation, sightseeing, and luxury at sea. I recently enjoyed two unforgettable mini-cruises with my mum that gave us a real flavour of the cruise lifestyle. Our first voyage was with P&O Cruises aboard Arvia, heading to Guernsey. We stayed in a balcony cabin, enjoying sea views and the fresh air. Arvia’s public ar

A Memorable Visit to Majorca – A Home from Home

My recent visit to Majorca was like returning home. Having had a family property on the island for many years, Majorca holds a special place in my heart. I visited with my mum – our first time back on the island for 15yrs. We stayed at the charming Hotel D’or in Cala D’or, a resort that perfectly blends relaxation with local character. With its beautiful marina full of beautiful seafood restaura

From Madrid to the End of the World: My Camino Journey

Inspired by reading The Salt Path and watching the BBCs The Pilgrimage, I signed up for my own Camino group trip in May with an old school friend Walking pilgrimages like the Camino de Santiago—or any spiritual trek— offer structure, community, and moments of personal reflection. It’s far more than just putting one foot in front of the other. It offers profound benefits for both body and mind. •

New to Cruise

Last month I went on my first ship visit on the MSC Magnifica in Southampton. It was a very informative day involving some training on the MSC routes and fleet, a tour of the ship’s lounges, restaurants, pools, spa area and cabins followed by a well-earned lunch. I signed up for my ship visit after a cruise training evening in Greenwich. I have only been on one cruise before, many years ago wi

I’ve just returned from a short break in Cyprus to get away from it all after a busy summer. I’m back feeling refreshed in mind and body and recharged, ready to face the autumn season. Ayii Anargyri Natural Healing Spa Resort in Cyprus was the perfect choice. It’s a lovely resort up in the hills north of Paphos.

Colourful Cuba

Just returned from an amazing time in vibrant Cuba. Cuba has been on my wish list for a while, as I was intrigued to learn more about this unique country frozen in time since the 1959 socialist revolution. We flew with Thomas Cook Holidays on an all-inclusive package which covered our arrival visas. The flight from Gatwick to Holguin is 9 hours. The airport is small so we were soon on our way

To celebrate my partner's 50th birthday in August last year, we wanted a short weekend break destination and chose the Algarve for the luxury golf & spa resorts and sunshine just a couple of hours flight away.

What my customers say

Like the "old days" having a dedicated travel advisor, who actually cares about you and your trip! Avoids making the mistakes of booking a mistake!

Catherine Lineham

Chichester

Angela is swift to reply. She knows what type of accommodation we like so her quotes are always on or around our ideal. Angela takes the inconvenience- and pain - out of searching and choosing. That personal touch is worth its weight in gold. I have and will always continue to recommend her to everyone I hear considering a holiday.

Debbie Pakulski

Mere

Always ready to help even when I kept making changes. Excellent service.

John Pakulski

Wiltshire

Angela was absolutely wonderful, nothing was too much trouble, she's organised a specific family holiday for us and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone! Thanks for all your help

Kate Pickup

Morpeth

Angela is very thorough and attentive. She also is excellent with her advice and is easy to talk to. Highly recommended

Christiana Howlett

Surbiton

Quick easy informative competitive.

John Pakulski

Mere

Angela was extremely professional, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. We asked Angela to cost the holiday using different forms of transport and she looked into them all for us, finding us the ideal option.

Rachel Dickinson

Lancashire

...Angela was completely different and so it was a much better experience ... We’d originally booked a trip to Rome for my mum and me in March 2020, which obviously couldn’t happen so we were refunded. My mum had some health challenges so once she was OK again, we rebooked. Angela took care of everything- flights (including checking us in), hotel, tickets to a papal audience and airport transfers in Rome. We had a bit of a problem when we arrived where our hotel was completely online and the details didn’t get passed on to me. But I called Angela on WhatsApp and she soon got it all sorted for us. Overall an excellent experience that I would recommend

Jacqueline McGinn

Eastleigh

The service is friendly but professional and no query is unimportant.

Glenda Shawley

Angela is very easy to use and always helpful, off to Amsterdam can’t wait thank you

Hilary Carter

Godalming

I have used the services of Angela Marshall on several occasions and have found her to be extremely efficient and helpful. She is also a very nice person to deal with so I have no hesitation in recommending her and Travel Counsellors for a bespoke and personal service

Margaret Hill

Richmond

Angela looked into a variety of different flight combinations and did several quotes for us, so that we got a good itinerary with flight times that suited us. She made us aware of the inclusive tour rate that we didn't know about and made some good recommendations for hotels. She saved us money as well as a lot of time.

Anne Williams

Hampton

Really helpful, cut out the confusion! Thanks Angela!

Catherine Lineham

CHICHESTER

I asked Angela to find me a summer break that would combine sightseeing with some poolside relaxation. She came up with several great ideas, and I ended up spending a week in a lovely hotel just outside Lisbon which ticked all the boxes. I would definitely recommend her services - she goes to great lengths to find the perfect holiday for her clients.

Caroline Ewans

London

super helpful and patient, a great service

Emily Penny

I have always been very pleased with the service I've received myself and am delighted to recommend you to friends for a bespoke service

Amazing service, Could not do more to help us. We are very happy. I have told all my friends amd family to give her a call when they want to book a holiday next

Lee Jackman

Poole

Angela was recommended to me by a friend, as my previous counsellor had to leave the company during COVID. I am delighted her recommendation was another member of Travel Counsellors and she has come up trumps for me. I will certainly use her again in the future.

Barbara Evans

Huddersfield

extremely helpful and a pleasure to deal with

Chris Howlett

Surbiton

As always, helpful and efficient and very knowledgeable about destinations and travel requirements. Especially good at putting together more bespoke holidays.

Christine Flinn

Surrey

Angela is fantastic - every time the airline changes my flights Angela is already sorting out my seats and ensuring everything is Ok for my journey before I have even read the email from the airline to say it has been changed! I have booked a few times with Angela to go to Australia over the years and wouldn't consider going to anyone else but her!

Marie Barber

NORWICH

Thanks a lot for all your work in organising this once in a lifetime trip.

Ingrid Mair

Angela has been unfailingly helpful and efficient in helping with our travel plans for very different holidays. We think she is a real find!

Natasha Edge

This is the third time Angela has arranged a holiday booking for me and each time I have been more than pleased with the excellent service she has provided. The effort she puts into finding just the right locations and flights is second to none.

Christine Flinn

Surrey

Very friendly and efficient service!

Alex Hughes

New Malden

It’s the personal touch that makes using a Travel Counsellor my preferred option when booking. Angela in particular has gone the extra mile more than once to ensure I get the best out of both my holiday and her.

Debbie Pakulski

Wiltshire

Angela was introduced to me by my sister and I was not disappointed with the service I received. I would be happy to forward that recommendation onwards.

Cilla Forkin

Ruislip

Very helpful. It saved a lot of time and headache looking into different routes and possibilities for stopovers, plus we were made aware of a Qantas sale that we would never have known about.

Anne Williams

Hampton

Angela you are so patient. We changed our minds so many times yet you patiently came back with everything we asked. Thank you so very much for a 5*+ service.

Marcella Hatch

Kent

Angela was extremely competent. She found us 3 islands in greece, which needed a little tweaking and she produced an amazing itinerary, she even went as far to book us ferries. She’s my go to girl for holidays for sure.

Jacqui OConnell

LONDON

Angela’s service was amazing. The booking process was easy and when my seats to Australia were changed due to rescheduling of planes, Angela had fixed it before I even had a chance to email her about it. Travelling with a four year old and a baby to Australia is stressful enough without having added pressure of seat changes and the possibility we wouldn’t have had a bassinet seat! She checked us in for the journey out (which was a nice touch to her service) and as I had no access/limited to the internet for the journey home she checked us in for this leg too! I would highly recommend Angela to book your holiday with and will be using her again in the future . Really pleased I booked with her and not online myself!

Marie Barbrr

Forncett St Peter

We have yet to experience our trip but the organisation and help has been amazing - would thoroughly recommend Angela.

Sally Dent

Mere

Thank you to Angela for organising a great holiday in St Lucia. She's very good at tailoring a trip to your suggestions and requirements.

Caroline Ewans

Wimbledon

Thank you for all your help, you’ve made the process of finding a holiday that meets our requirements extremely easy and hassle free.

Ian Johnson

Hook

Angela has provided the most exemplary service. She produced exactly what we wanted with the initial quote which made it very easy to choose our hotel, flight and airport options. When we asked a couple of subsequent questions regarding late check out and baggage weight Angela responded practically immediately. This is the second trip Angela has organised for me and I love the freedom having my own travel counsellor brings. It’s so stress free and I every faith in Angela as a Travel Counsellor.

Deborah Pakulski

Mere

Thank you very much. I can't tell you how helpful and supportive you have been and how excited we are about this amazing holiday. I usually do all the homework, research and booking of our breaks, but this is a very big holiday for us and your help has been invaluable. It has meant that I can totally relax knowing we are in safe hands.

Carolyn Nash

TOTNES

I was delighted to find that Angela was happy to book flights only and she made it so easy. Many thanks!

Hilary Fisher

Richmond

We are delighted with the efficient service you have provided and will certainly shout to all we know that this is the best way to now book holidays.

Sue Orsborn

Thank you for all your help Angela. You've taken the stress out of organising our family holiday!
