It's Nice To Meet You

Thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage. Please note my previous name was Claire Horne

Travel is my absolute passion, I have been with Travel Counsellors for 22 years and in travel for 25 years and I can honestly say I love my job!

As a busy working mum of 2 teenagers I understand how important holidays are, your time away is very precious so by offering a caring and professional service I can take the stress out of booking travel.

I will listen to your requirements before going away to research and build you the perfect itinerary for leisure or business travel. Booking the right holiday and ensuring my clients trips run smoothly is so important to me. I love nothing more than hearing about what a great time my clients have had once they return home.

I will look after you from the initial enquiry to when you return home to ensure you have the very best personal service. At Travel Counsellors we have a 24 hour duty office on hand whilst you are away in case of any emergencies and in addition to this, everything you book is 100% financially protected against supplier failure by either ATOL or the Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you absolute peace of mind.

Whatever your holiday dreams are, from a city break to a round the world cruise, make sure you get in touch. I would love the opportunity to discuss any future travel plans you may have. My business is built on word of mouth recommendations and our customer survey shows that 100% of my customers would recommend me to their family and friends.

I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Swedish Lapland

Wow! What an amazing experience. I have just returned from four nights in Swedish Lapland. Having worked previously in ski resorts I didn’t think I would be blown away as much as I was by the scenery. I can honestly say it was the most beautiful place I have ever been lucky enough to travel too. I travelled with four colleagues out to Luleå via Stockholm with SAS. On arrival in Luleå we were me

I can honestly say Claire goes above and beyond to help make that dream holiday come true. We booked a wedding holiday in Cyprus 2018. Claire helped us by taking the pressure off dealing with a large group so we could focus on the wedding. Thank you Claire!

Gary Tyler

Worcester

Claire has previously sourced something special for my annual holidays - but for some reason I didn't think of her straight away for the conference in Amsterdam. Big mistake. I wish I had called her in the first instance because instead I wasted hours trying to find my own compatible flights times/hotels etc. Within a hour or so of calling her, Claire had sorted the whole trip and was especially helpful in advising about my onward journey once I had landed in Amsterdam. Thank you Claire!

Victoria Vaugham

Absolutely saved the day. With the collapse of Monarch I needed to get flights booked for the same day otherwise part of the holiday would be lost. In just 10 minutes I had new flights and at a fair price which took all the stress out of the situation. Really couldn't ask for more and the friendly and efficient service was just brilliant.

Keith Kirby

Ferring

I just wanted to message, Claire, to personally say thank you for assisting myself with organising the holiday for Em’s 30th brthday present to Croatia. Most importantly Em had an amazing time and so did I, the whole process went like clockwork, the room was fabulous, with a sea view and a hot tub! The hotel was so well placed, so we could walk to most restaurants etc. The transfers were bang on time to and from the airport and a personal favourite of mine was the boat tour on the Monday to the islands. Without your help we would have probably ended up in a favela with a view of a sewer plant. We will keep your name on the tip of our tongues, if we hear any friends and family looking to make the escape from the UK.

Oliver Crouch

Ken Ogden

Worthing

I have used Claire Horne's service to organise several holidays - on the Queen Mary 2 and New York, Cuba and most recently on a trip to Hong Kong and Vietnam. This last trip was pretty last minute and I required a substantial amount of help and advice as we had several flights, a train journey, and a host of hotels. Claire's support was simply invaluable. The support on the ground in Vietnam was excellent. Guides were well informed, on time and fun. I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Counsellors.

Geoff Bailey

CARSHALTON

Claire has been so helpful with our minimoon booking. She sent over a few options within our budget (all wonderful locations) and from start to finish she's been fantastic.

Our stay in New York was absolutely wonderful and The Wellington was excellent. The suite was actually a 2 bedroom one and we were delighted with it. We can't thank you enough for all your hard work and recommendations. Everything fell beautifully into place and we achieved everything that we wanted to do in the time we had in New York. There wasn't a day that went by when we didn't say that "Claire has done us proud". A memorable holiday and a very big thank you to you for making it so.

Veronica Keeling
