The support we received from Diane Breton was absolutely First CLASS! She listened carefully to our needs (and was very patient with us when we changed our minds) - and talked us through every step of the booking process. We are looking forward to our dream holiday and know that Diane and your company will be there to help out should there be any unforeseen needs. Many thanks.

Diane was recommended to me by a friend. I was told that Diane was brilliant. Diane was friendly and super quick in getting together some quotes for our up and coming trip to Lapland. The great thing was, that she was able to give us suggestions based on her own personal experience. She knows what she's talking about! I can't wait for our trip and I would certainly consider contacting Diane again for any other future holidays. My friend was not wrong! Thanks Diane.

There are too many superlatives to describe the most professional service that Diane delivers.
We had our holiday booked, but once the pandemic took hold, we decided that it was not ideal to go. Diane rearranged our holiday to later in the year, but the pandemic spread to devastating levels and we decided that it should be placed on hold until it was safe to do so.
This is about the service that Diane delivers, it is not about the business or the money, with Diane I feel that not only is she a friendly voice, but an outstanding example of a true professional that has really gone above and beyond to ensure that we have been taken care of and all aspects of our (eventual) holiday, and will be the most pleasant of experiences.
A huge Thank You to Diane and I can assure that any future holidays (after the one we would like next) will be organised through Diane of Travel Consellors, as she is a credit to the company.

Diana came by recommendation and I am so ver glad she did! From the very start Diana was patient, knowledgable and professional. She took plenty of time to understand what it was I was looking for and within a couple of days came up trumps!
I feel totally confident with my booking and know Diana is there should I need her; she will also be arranging car hire at airports nearer the time. I shall DEFINITELY be using Diana’s services again and can’t recommend her enough.

Feeling the confidence that Diane has booked our holiday is totally priceless- we need to make sure we have that ‘point of contact’ especially at these worrying times. She made sure the holiday was booked to ensure the villa didn’t go and free child place wasn’t taken. I trust her with the most complex of trips and feel our plans are in safe hands. Thank you

As a family we use Diane's knowledge for all our holiday travel bookings. It takes all the stress away and we know from experience that everything is perfect to the last detail. I have, and will continue to recommend Diane where-ever possible. Long may Diane continue - where would I be without her.

My husband and I were going on our first ever holiday abroad (honeymoon) and when we had heard from several people about Diane we were super keen to find out more! Well she was amazing sorted out everything for us and we would still be planning it today if it wasn't for her as we had no idea where to begin. Now we are back from Rome and we had such a lovely time. Diane gave us plenty of beautiful options to choose from and we are so glad we got her help. Will definitely be using her services again!

I wanted to let you know about our holiday!
It was fabulous – the hotel was lovely, staff were brilliant, really attentive, everywhere was spotlessly clean, the food was all fresh and to a great standard, bar staff were very attentive and during the day you could get anything you wanted while on your sunbed. The spa was one of the best I’ve had treatments in. There was live music every evening, very laid back listening. Maid room service was twice a day so always loads of clean towels and beds made and turned down. It was exactly what we had asked for and needed.
Our terrace room was directly onto the grass and across to the pool so very easy access for us. Nights were so quiet, no noise from other rooms or roads etc.
Only point that could have been improved on were the views – no sea views, it is arranged around a quadrangle so you are only ever looking into the pool – not that it wasn’t very pleasant but you could have been anywhere. It’s only a short walk to the sea, there is a small port with nice restaurants and a couple of small beaches.
Thank you very much.

Just a quick message to let you know we had a wonderful time in Crete. The hotel was fab! 7 days was definitely not enough. We all want to go away again together next year and we will come back to you around October again when we decide where we want to go together.
Hope you are well and thank you again for your amazing help as usual.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for arranging such a wonderful holiday to Dubai and the Maldives for us. We all had an amazing time and are now very depressed to be back home! All the flights and connections went smoothly and both hotels were fabulous. I would highly recommend JA Manafaru - the water villas were amazing and the island was stunning. The staff were so friendly and attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Our youngest daughter was even invited behind the bar to make the cocktails, which she loved!
I will be sure to pass on your details to our friends and family and we’ll be in touch with you when we get round to planning our next trip!

Me and my partner had our flight, that we arranged direct ourselves, 'rearranged' without any correspondence to notify me or my partner about the changes. Once we turned up to the airport to find out our flight wasn't flying we were stuck in Manchester airport with no way of getting to Rome on our trip. Diane took my call at 7:30am and within 30 minutes me and my partner were booked on a plane from Liverpool to Rome, taxi to Liverpool sorted and an airport transfer once in Rome all sorted. Without Diane I would have gone home and cancelled our trip. I will never arrange my own trip through the internet again and now do all my travel arrangements through Diane and Travel Counsellors. I highly recommend this efficient, professional and personable service.

Diane was so helpful booking our holiday, as being independent she was able to handpick the exact airport, hotel and transfer that we were looking for. Diane and Travel Counsellors were so helpful and patient when we had a personal issue which could have meant cancelling our booking. Nothing was too much trouble - I recommend Diane highly.

Not being seasoned travellers, we were delighted when a friend recommended Diane to us. She arranged our trip to visit relatives in Montreal last year and is currently arranging our trip to visit friends in USA this year. She manages to take all the stress from us, and as we are both retired this makes the holiday so much easier and more pleasant. We would recommend Diane to anyone who needs to have a 'hassle free' holiday arranged for them. She has done, and is continuing to do a brilliant job for us.

Diane was an absolute God-send when we needed to sort out a visit to Canada. Not being seasoned travellers we just left everything to her, and any little queries we had we were able to just ring her for advice. Nothing was too much trouble and she kept us posted on everything she was doing. I would never consider a foreign holiday again without her help. I can't speak too highly of her and the service she provided.

This was the first time we have approached Travel Counsellors and we came across Diane by sheer chance. We couldn't have chosen better. Diane was highly efficient and kept us fully informed at all times of progress on the itinerary. The holiday was excellent and everything went to plan - hotels were wonderful (and expecting us!) and four inter-city train journeys went smoothly - Diane having booked all our seats! Diane took all the stress out of booking the holiday and it was pleasure to work with her - we have come to see her as a friend and would highly recommend her travel services to anyone.

My Daughter and I are huge fans of the Greek Islands and also love Mamma Mia so it felt right that our holiday destination was Skopelos for our Mum & Daughter holiday. We flew into the neighbouring island of Skiathos and then took a small boat across to Skopelos and onto the Ionia Hotel in Skopelos Town.
