It's Nice To Meet You

Travel is my passion. If you are here because you are looking for help with a holiday, you have come to the right place!

My love for exploring the big wide world and discovering different cultures was sparked at a very young age when travelling with my parents. Roll on 30 years and my husband and (now teenage) children will tell you that no holiday of ours is ever the same – they don’t get to stay in one place for long and there are always a few excursions and adventures thrown in for good measure! The world is a big place to explore and the bucket list never stops growing ….

With 30 years of travel industry experience behind me in both leisure and corporate business travel covering a variety of skills and roles, making the decision to create and build my own business with the backing of the well respected and established ‘Travel Counsellors’ has been the highlight and best decision of my career.

I enjoy nothing more than really getting to know my clients and digging deep to understand their desires so I can bring their dreams to life. The service I provide is truly personal, friendly, caring and comprehensive and this is what I am proud to boast sets my business apart from other holiday booking companies and platforms, particularly the internet! After all, who wants to be treated as just a number/transaction!?

To get the very best out of your holiday, I believe every trip should always be approached with careful thought and guidance as well as in depth research along with thorough comprehensive planning – it should never be anything less that just perfect! After all, whatever dream and whichever continent you are searching for, be it the exhilaration of conquering a piste in an Alpine Ski Resort, soaking up the dazzling lights and unbeatable vibe of N.Y.C, an adventure to the Masai Mara to experience the great migration from a Hot Air Balloon, watching the magic on your families faces as they meet Mickey Mouse and Co at Disney, indulging the Eastern Charm of Dubai, exploring the mysterious Mayan underworld in Central America followed by a dive into the 2nd largest Barrier Reef in the world in Belize, or perhaps a restful retreat to a luxury beach resort to simply lay back with a cocktail and soak up the sun or maybe just snatching a few days R&R on a City Break – I will help you find the perfect destination. There is nothing too big or too small that I can’t help you with, and I will endeavour to create a holiday that delivers lasting lifelong memories you will cherish forever.

Rest assured that with my industry expertise and my own extensive travel experiences and advice, I will be available at the end of the phone to discuss your desires and provide support and advice from the planning stage all the way through your trip to your arrival home along with the support of our 24/7 Duty Office should you need us when you are overseas.

Additionally and most importantly, everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure either by ATOL or the unique Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute piece of mind.

I look forward to speaking to you soon,
Caroline.

The best of Portugal

The best of Portugal

When many people think of Portugal as a holiday destination, they usually visualise the swanky resorts of Quinta De Lago, famous with footballers and celebrities, especially those that love golf! Or the port of Villamoura or seaside town of Albufeira! But there is soooo much more to Portugal, and the area of the Algarve! Portugal has become a home from home for me now after my parents bought a pr

California Dreaming - Fly Drive

The best way to see a country is to stay on the ground. Taking a taxi transfer, a train or even a bus if you are feeling really adventurous is a great way to see all there is to see around you. This is particularly true of a fly drive - and one of the most popular states in the U.S for this is California and over to the West.

Florida - the sunshine state!

The pressure was on. Friends had been or were going, and our children were repeatedly asking if we could go ‘one day’. Yes – it was the D word … Disney! So 5 years ago in a bleak October, we bit the bullet and I planned our trip. However, I knew that there was so much more to Florida than just Disney, so we decided to make it an extended adventure! We flew directly into Orlando and stayed in an

There are a whopping 6000 + islands in Greece as a whole stretching from the Ionian sea to the Aegean sea, so we were totally spoilt for choice when deciding which to include on our visit. The experience of Greek Ports and boarding ferries is one we will never forget. No country handles organised chaos li

What my customers say

Thank you Caroline. It was a Wonderful cruise. They had gatherings for the “solo” passengers as well as nightly invites to dine with different crew members, staff or entertainment group as hosts to a 6 to 8 person table. It was easy to meet people & just what I needed for my first independent travel. You made all of the trip so easy. Thank you so much for all your help.

Middle East Situation. Yes we are home safely- so lucky to have that direct flight! There were quite a few people in the hotel desperately trying to arrange new flights home! Thank you for booking everything, it felt nice knowing you were there in the background if we needed you!

I wouldn’t use any other person than Caroline to book our holiday. Her knowledge, professionalism and dedication to making our dream a reality cannot be found elsewhere and nor would I want it to be.

Got back from our wonderful trip yesterday. Thanks so much for once again organising a brilliant itinerary for us. All the flights, transfers, excursions etc were exactly as planned and the hotels were even more luxurious than we’d thought! Missing it all already. We all had a great time, was a perfect mix of City, adventure and relaxation. Hopefully see you soon and look forward to planning another trip with you asap!

100% recommend Caroline Bowerman - Travel Counsellor - not only did she curate our recent family trip to Thailand, fine tuning it to ensure it met our needs perfectly; she also worked tirelessly behind the scenes to rearrange the beginning tours when Emirates decided to cancel our flight out with 5 hours notice. (!) Everything adjusted, no stress on our side just turned up a bit later than planned.

Hannah Smyth

Sevenoaks

I just wanted to say thank you for such a wonderful week in Rovinj. Wow. We were so impressed with it. What a gorgeous town. It was so pretty! The hotel was excellent too. I cannot compliment the staff on their excellent service enough. We agreed that the friendliness and quality of service is up there with what we had in Thailand. The Croatian people are just so friendly. Thank you! Have a lovely weekend!

Used Caroline twice now for planning our holidays. A great experience, extremely helpful and always listens to what we want. Would highly recommend.

Debbie Gillborn

Caroline very kindly planned a belated Honeymoon for my husband and I to Sorrento and Ravello in July/August. From the moment we gave Caroline the dates and a rough idea of what we wanted she worked her magic and came up with varying options to suit budget and activities. Everything that Caroline did for us was done with great thought and precision to ensure we felt truly spoilt and looked after while we were away. A few highlights for us were the “Mr and Mrs” keyrings and chocolates that arrived with travel documents, the private car hire for airport pick ups and drop offs, Prosecco and treats in each hotel when we arrived and a wonderful sense that we didn’t have to do anything apart from turn up! Having spent years booking our holidays and worrying about checking in, sorting seats, transfers etc. it was a pure joy to have had someone do all of this for us! I wouldn’t hesitate to use Caroline again in the future and recommend her to anyone that will listen! Thank you again Caroline for making our honeymoon so special ??????

We have just returned from our second trip organised by Caroline and it was absolutely amazing! Last year it was Belize and this year Zanzibar and Tanzania. I cannot recommend Caroline highly enough, both trips have been so well planned and tailored to our specific needs. Caroline spends time listening and understanding her clients which results in a well planned and stress free holiday. Thank you very much from The Greshams xx

Caroline was incredible, from start to finish, her wealth of knowledge and ideas and support gave us the confidence to book with someone like her. She has made the travel booking a breeze and I cannot recommend her enough. From he moment I spoke to her I knew she knew what she was talking about and was going to provide a 5* service, she took care of everything and updated us and communicated with us all through the process. Thank you so much for everything I will be back to book for our next adventure!

Caroline went to a lot of trouble to find an itinerary that worked for our family - a combination of a bit of exploration and 'chilling out' in Croatia. Caroline's personal experience of the country, as well as her intuitive understanding of our requirements, has given us a holiday that we are SO looking forward to in August.. Highly recommend her services!

Fiona N

Caroline was fantastic. She helped me plan a multi location, three week family trip to Bali. With her own experience and knowledge of local agents the whole process was pretty easy and efficient. It’s tremendously reassuring to know that all the connections between locations at hotels and islands have been booked ahead for us and that we have some fun excursions booked up at what is undoubtedly high season. Caroline was so personable and offered us a wealth of helpful advice. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.

Karen D

Thanks to Caroline we had the best holiday. Her knowledge is fantastic, the hotels she suggested were all well located and well equipped. She threw in some great little touches too. If you want a stress free booking and holiday experience I would suggest using Caroline.

Caroline has been amazing in sourcing our itinerary, we had a rough idea what we wanted to do but Caroline listened and came up with exactly what we wanted! I work in travel myself but not on the leisure side so was so happy for Caroline to look after this for me. Would highly recommend and will definitely book with Caroline again. Cant wait for our trip!

Caroline's help was invaluable. As a full-time working mum of three, I find holiday planning a tough gig to fit in. It just seems to require a crazy amount of time researching - time I don't have! Not only that, but the world is a big place and it's tough to make decisions. With Caroline's help, I not only saved a huge amount of time, but it was also useful just to gain her well-travelled experience to help decide where to go. I shall be calling on Caroline every holiday now! And telling everyone I know to do the same!

Suzanne M

A personal, professional and friendly service. Everything we needed was sorted out. Would definitely contact Caroline for any other holiday in the future.

Our first Hotel we wanted didn't have availability however, Caroline made contact with myself upon noticing availability and was very quick to book our preferred location. Amazing !

Caroline went above and beyond what I was expecting when I asked for her help and guidance in booking our family holiday.

I will definitely be booking our next holiday with her.
