It's Nice To Meet You

Hi! I'm Danielle, your personal Travel Counsellor from South Shields in the (very often) cold North East of England - one of the many reasons why I LOVE holidays!

A 'Sand Dancer' born and bred, I've lived in this lovely coastal town all of my life - all 40 years of it! The beach is definitely one of my favourite places to visit with my husband and our Pug - Percy, whatever the weather!

I have 22 years experience working in the travel industry and have visited 14 countries over 4 continents around the world including Fabulous Las Vegas! My absolute favourite! Of course the list is always growing! I also love cruises, city breaks and not forgetting weekends away in the UK with the dog - even Percy loves his holidays!

Why book with me?
Being a Travel Counsellor isn't just a job, it's a hobby! My family and friends think I'm crazy when I offer to look for their holiday for them even in my spare time but I thoroughly enjoy it. Life is short, let me take away the need for you to trawl the internet for countless hours and I'll create your dream holiday for you and will be with you every step of the way, from the moment it's just an idea to the second you step safely through your front door on your return, and then onto your next dream trip idea! Here at Travel Counsellors, we really do care and want to make sure everything is just perfect.
Travel Counsellors are truly independent and have direct access to countless hotels, transport options, cruises, attractions and many more, meaning that I can create a bespoke holiday package that is truly unique to you and your family, and highly unlikely to be found online or at a high street travel agency. You can also relax safe in the knowledge that you will be 100% financially protected on absolutely everything you book with with Travel Counsellors, we also have 5* Trustpilot reviews for our customer service and should you need help at any time of the day or night, our 24/7 Duty Office is always available.

Whether you're looking for your summer beach holiday, a cruise, that dream trip to celebrate a special occasion, something to tick off your bucket list or even that UK break with your pets then get in touch with me at the time that is right for you - us Geordies are pretty friendly and I'm not tied to your usual 9-5, after all, there's always a plane taking off somewhere!
My contact details are below, please call, email or get in touch via social media and we can arrange to have a chat over the phone or even meet up if you're local to discuss your ideas. I look forward to hearing from you soon and turning those ideas into lifelong memories!

Helen Byers

South Shields

Danielle has spent a lot of time getting us numerous quotes for specific hotels that we requested and then also added a few extra ideas we might like based on our selection. Dates and airports changed several times and it was never a problem to quote again. It's so easy to book when you make your decision and we got a lovely thank you for booking card too. An extra personal human touch goes a long way with the ease of an app to make payments, see updated quotes and request your booking at any time convenient to you. Add in the trees for travel and I just think this is the way forward for holiday bookings.
