It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, my name is David and welcome to my web page.

With over 40 years in the travel industry working for some of the UK’s major retail travel agencies and tour operators, there was only one way forward and that was to join the multi award winning Travel Counsellors.

I have been fortunate to have travelled to many parts of the world and experienced many different types of holidays, from beach resorts to safaris, cruises, to touring holidays.

With the latest technology that Travel Counsellors provide me with, I can create anything from your own tailor made holiday, to booking the latest offers available from the many tour operators that we work with, or it may be a weekend break to a flight only reservation for leisure or business travel, or an exotic wedding abroad to the perfect honeymoon.

In this time of very hectic lives we lead, it is not always easy to arrange your holiday and speak to someone personally about it during normal working hours, so one of the benefits of having your own personal Travel Counsellor is that I am available at the end of the phone anytime of the day.

Customer service is paramount and this is what we pride ourselves on. I thoroughly enjoy dealing with my clients, forming wonderful relationships, arranging the perfect holiday for them, going that extra mile, something I have been doing for many years.

Natural disasters, strikes, company failures are all part of life, and because of this, once you have booked your holiday you can sit back and relax knowing that everything is covered by the Travel Counsellor’s Complete Financial Protection.

So if you need to get away, by train, boat, or plane, please give me a call and I will be happy to arrange that perfect holiday for you.

I've always booked my own holidays in the past but since changing my job 3 years ago I just don't have the time to research the destinations in as much depth as I would like, this is where I found David invaluable. His personal knowledge, honesty and suggestions, the time he has taken in getting to know me too and what I look for in a holiday has convinced me that he will now be my holiday Guru! Thank you David.

Rebecca Francis

Chester

I have used David for at least ten years and never had cause to complain or indeed have we found fault in any of the hotels he has recommended. I travel the world for a living but leave the holiday arrangements in his hands. We always go to five star plus hotels and appear to meet other people with the same desires and they all have come across David and all speak highly of him.he knows the hotels he recommends and always contacts them before we arrive and as a result we always get special treatment. I always put his name forward to my contacts and friends and have never had a negative comeback.. He is one of the best and I fully recommend him
