It's Nice To Meet You
My name is David and I look forward to becoming your personal Travel Counsellor.
Having joined the industry straight from school, I've now ‘clocked up’ over 40 years of working on the high street.
Many people already know me in the West Yorkshire area and I now have customers all over the UK! A number of them have become personal friends over the years and they know that I believe in good old fashioned, excellent personal service and care.
At the last count, I'd visited over 50 countries, in every continent apart from Antarctica - but I'm working on that and will get there one day! That means I have lots of experience and I'm able to give you the best professional advice based on my own personal travels!
With Travel Counsellors, I'm now able to offer a truly independent travel service. I'm under no pressure from head office to sell a particular company’s products. This means I can find the best holiday for you, not for the company’s profit figures. With award winning technology and access to hundreds of reputable suppliers, I can now find the very best holiday to suit your needs.
No booking is too small. I am just as keen to book you that romantic UK break or a mini cruise to Amsterdam. As I am able to work from home, I can be available outside conventional office hours, including evenings and weekends. If I am out of the office when you call, it will be me that calls you back, there’s no need to sit in a queue to a busy call centre.
With the fantastic support of Travel Counsellors, I love running my own travel business.
I can only be successful if I do all I can to make sure that I get it right for my customers. That's why you can be sure of my best personal service at all times.
Every penny you spend with me is safe thanks to the Travel Counsellors financial trust. It offers the best financial protection in the industry and is free of charge to all our customers.
I really want to help you with your next trip, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Travels in Vietnam
We arrived at Hanoi airport right on time, after a very comfortable flight with Vietnam Airlines. Our hotel was a small, family-run hotel down a back street but perfectly situated. Very close to the Old Town and Hoan Kiem Lake, it was very clean and comfortable and the staff just couldn’t do enough for us. Hoam Kiem is the ‘hub’ of the city. From there, it’s very easy to visit the main places o

Memories of Cyprus
I was pleased to be invited on this trip as a guest of the Cyprus Tourist Office. We were a party of 14 UK travel agents and we spent two nights each in Ayia Napa, Limassol and Paphos and were taken all around the island. Cyprus was a destination I hadn’t been to before, so I was really keen to learn more about the island. We arrived in the evening at Larnaca airport and soon we were on our way

Winter Sunshine in Goa, India
I decided to try Goa for a winter holiday in March of 2011. Lots of my clients had returned with glowing reports so I thought I’d give it a try myself and it was wonderful! Although people do visit Goa right through the year, most UK tour operators only feature it in the winter months from November through to the end of March. The summer is ‘monsoon’ season so it’s likely to be hot and humid wi

Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
