Don’t Google your holiday. Claire it instead!

Why Book with Me Instead of Online?

In today’s world, booking a holiday can feel as simple as a few clicks. Open up your laptop, type in “holidays to Spain” or “best family trips to Florida,” and a flood of options appears. Sounds easy, right? But here’s the truth, planning the perfect holiday is about much more than clicking book now.

That’s where I come in.

As your personal Travel Counsellor, my role is to make sure your holiday isn’t just a transaction, but a truly seamless, stress-free, and memorable experience. Here’s why working with me offers something no online booking engine ever could:

1. Personalised Service

No two travellers are the same, so why should your holiday be? Online booking sites give you generic packages, but I take time to understand you, your preferences, budget, travel style, and even the small details that matter (like whether you’re a window-seat person or if you want a hotel with the best kids’ club).

2. Expert Knowledge & Experience

I’ve spent years travelling myself and helping clients create their dream trips. From snorkelling in the Maldives to exploring the rugged beauty of South Africa, I’ve experienced first-hand many of the places you want to visit. That means I can give honest, reliable advice you won’t find in a search engine.

3. Support Before, During, and After

When you book online, you’re on your own if things don’t go to plan. Flights cancelled? Hotel overbooked? Good luck waiting on hold for hours. With me, you have my personal support from the moment you enquire until you’re safely home. If there’s an issue, I’m just a call or message away, no call centres, no endless queues.

4. Added Value

It’s a myth that booking through a Travel Counsellor costs more. In fact, I often save clients money (and time) by finding the best value deals, tailoring itineraries, and ensuring you’re not stung by hidden costs. Plus, I can also organise extras like airport lounges, insurance, car hire, excursions, and transfers, the finishing touches that make your holiday stress-free.

5. Peace of Mind

With financial protection and the backing of an award-winning travel company, you can relax knowing your holiday is secure. Online bookings might not always come with that reassurance.

6. A Relationship, Not a Transaction

I don’t just see you as a booking reference, I see you as a client I want to build a long-term relationship with. Many of my clients come back to me year after year because they know I “get” them and can create holidays that truly suit their needs.

Final Thought

Booking online gives you a trip. Booking with me gives you peace of mind, personal service, and a holiday you’ll remember forever.

So next time you’re thinking about booking a break, ask yourself, do you want the stress of sorting it all alone, or the ease of having me by your side every step of the way?
