Adventure to the Galapagos Islands & Ecuador

Adventure to the Galapagos Islands & Ecuador

Trying to find the right header for this blog for these amazing islands I could not find just a single word to describe my time there. It was the most amazing experience ever, it felt like a beautiful dream and everyday surpassed the previous day. When I heard I would be visiting the islands on one of the most luxurious ships to travel around these islands I was overwhelmed and whilst I knew I wou

Sisters on Tour- Cambodia

It was with much excitement my sister and I travelled to Cambodia, this was a big tick off my wish list, but also being lucky to share this experience with my son and his girlfriend who were 6 weeks into a three month Asian adventure. Sisters on Tour - we flew with Vietnam Airlines from Heathrow to Phnom Penh in Premium Economy Class. Not as luxurious as Qantas, Virgin or BA Premium Economy Clas

Danube River Cruise

Danube River Cruise

A Danube river cruise is an ideal way of experiencing the different cultures of Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary without having to unpack. The choice of excursions was great, something for all abilities. Some stunning cities, gorges and scenery. The boat was beautiful, the cabins were a good size, with lovely balconies. The food was very lovely with good options at every meal. Se

Stunning Sri Lanka

Stunning Sri Lanka

We flew from Stansted to Colombo via Dubai. Although the aircraft was on a B777 the seats can be narrow. I would recommend to book seats at the back in the row of 2's, the best seats are the middle row of the 2's. On 15th March we arrived in Colombo. We changed some money on arrival although the rate at 224 Sri Lankan rupees to £1, locally you can get around 232. We were meet outside by our guide

South African Adventure

South African Adventure

Going back to South Africa after 10 years was amazing, my first trip was just a four night stay in Cape Town, although a 12 - hour flight there means there is little time difference, so it's easy to settle into the normal sleep routine. Sunny Cape Town is prettier than I had remembered, with some amazing hotels. From the smaller boutique style Queen Victoria, the classic Cape Grace and luxuri

Cultural Tour of Namibia

Cultural Tour of Namibia

I was lucky to be invited on a cultural tour of Namibia, to visit the San, Ovambo, Himba and The Damara people – the latter being one of the oldest cultural groups in Namibia. We also had a short visit to Etosha National Park. Many people still live in the round wooden huts with straw roofs and wear traditional dress, the Himba in particular have avoided western clothing and choose to mix with m

Michelle Cookson

Hi Cheryl, thank you so much for organising our recent holiday to Canada. Everything went so very smoothly & was so perfect in everyway. Amazing!!! Everyone, we met whilst we were away from the hotel staff to the Cruise ship waiters, Limousine drivers & car hire hire companies were real ambassadors for Travel Counsellors & we cant thank them all enough. Thank you so much.

Sawston, Cambridge

Cheryl went over and above this time! When our travel plans were effected by the outage Cheryl was able to tell us what the problem was (no tannoy announcements at the airport did this) and advised us to go to our gate despite being late for the flight. Meanwhile she looked at alternative flights and after discovering we missed our flight she was able to very efficiently book us onto another and offer further advice about making a claim for our extra costs which we successfully did. it was so reassuring and helpful to have her at the end of the phone in this crisis!

Sally Davis

Cambridge

Invaluable travel support I have booked a few times now with our local travel advisor Cheryl and she is absolutely wonderful. Cheryl always seems to know which accommodation will suit us best and the quality of her service is first class. I was recently caught up in the awful Stanstead chaos which resulted in us missing our flights and Cheryl managed to find alternative flights for us that same day which after a highly stressful morning was so very much appreciated! She just makes the whole travel experience so much easier!

Jacki Perry

Fordham

Lynne Hays

Excellent service as always

Hilary Binks

Cheryl could not have been more helpful, it was an absolute pleasure to deal with her and would highly recommend her to anyone

Andrew Newman

Fenstanton

We just wanted to say thank you for all the organising of our long awaited trip to Helsinki. Sally and I had a wonderful time. It made things so easy having the taxi transfer, which I have never had before and we loved the welcome note in our room! Everything had been done for us. All we had to do was relax and enjoy it. The Lilla Roberts is such a comfortable hotel and the staff were lovely. Although it was very near the centre, it was in a quiet road. I absolutely loved Helsinki and am planning to return in December for the Christmas markets which should be magical. As soon as I have checked if anyone wants to come with me, I will be back in touch with you to book. Thank you so much once again, Lyn & Sally.

Lyn Ferguson
