Di Rhodes has been my Travel Counsellor for my trip to Japan, in October 2025. She has consistently shown her real expertise in planning all aspects of my holiday. I am not a 'typical traveller:' I was born with a physical disability which affects my mobility. I'm nearly 70 . Di Rhodes has setup coordinated support care for me through every part of my travels: Collection from my front door in the UK and dropping off at the airport. Being met there by a member of the airport's Disability Assistance staff and taken to my flight check-in. She ensured I had a direct flight to Japan to cut out exhausting airport transfers etc. Also, being met at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, where I'll be taken to my hotel - and she's factored in an extra day's rest there. Then a taxi to the cruise I'm taking round Japan on Regent . Di has discussed my support needs with me thoroughly and respectfully, and has arranged a suitable cabin for my cruise. She ensured I'd correctly filled in the cruise ship's forms to declare my needs. Every part of my trip has been meticulously planned. . In all our discussions, whether over the phone or by email, Di has been polite, a mine of information, and a reassuring 'guide' for me, through the whole process. She comes across as a natural and engaging 'people person' in all her work. I can recommend Travel Counsellors as an organisation that clearly acts in their clients' best interests. They can provide, not just exciting and interesting holiday ideas, but are skilled at providing necessary support for clients with specific needs. I can additionally confirm that Di Rhodes is a very experienced tour arranger within Travel Counsellors, and I'm so grateful for all her help, oversight, skills and support in every part of my holiday.

"Diane spent time and care helping us plan a family holiday full of exciting activities and thoughtful gestures. Everything was booked and organised for us and nothing was too much trouble for her to plan on our behalf, so we could look forward to a stress free , organised and unforgettable trip so even before we packed a bag I was already grateful for her expertise. It was when a last minute flight cancellation threatened to totally derail our trip that I really understood the value of having a dedicated travel agent. When our flight was cancelled over new year, Diane was instantly at the end of the phone, whilst we were still at the airport . Within minutes she had reassured us with a a plan and worked on an alternative option, rebooking our itinerary and even contacting the hotel and transfer herself personally to ensure they know of our late arrival. Everything was done with unwavering professionalism, kindness and quick thinking. Diane kept in touch us and updated us regularly despite it being New Years Eve and thanks to Diane our trip continued as planned and was wonderful. I recommend Diane 100% and will absolutely look forward to her planning all our trips going forward. "

Diane understood quickly what I was looking for with my flights, when I had little or poor network signal sailing south from Grenada. It was reassuring to know that Diane could find me the most efficient and cost effective routes and hold options until I could confirm. This took a lot of stress away from me knowing she was on top of the booking process at all times

Di was recommended to me for holidays and events. I had asked her about Eras Tour tickets but she didn’t have any. A couple of weeks later Di got in touch with me - some more had been released! They were restricted view and Di gave me so much information on this so I knew what to expect. Booking and payment was straight forward and I felt like everything was being taken care of. Di stayed in touch up to the event. We were absolutely over the moon with the seats in the end. The box and whole experience was incredible! Di checked in on the day once she knew we would have arrived to check everything was ok and the next day. I cannot fault the service we received and will definitely book with Di Rhodes again. Thank you!
