It's Nice To Meet You

I am Emily, your personal Travel Counsellor, based in the Northamptonshire / Buckinghamshire area, with a wonderful client family spread right across the UK.

I live with my husband, children and two fur babies. My passions are food, travel and reading, and on any given day the order depends on my mood. Travel has always been the constant, and now I am lucky enough to turn that passion into a business that helps others see the world their way.

I run an entrepreneurial travel business built on a high level of service, genuine customer care, honesty and long‑term client satisfaction. I specialise in bespoke quotes and tailor‑made itineraries: if you can dream it, I will work with you to make it happen.

You will work directly with me, a dedicated travel expert, to create memorable experiences that are completely suited to you, your loved ones and your travel needs. Whether you are planning a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure, a relaxing escape or a multi‑generational family holiday, I take the time to really understand what matters most to you, so we can create something truly personal and meaningful.

I thrive in designing premium leisure trips and love helping my clients explore every corner of the world in a sustainable and ethical way, giving back to the destinations they visit. Together we can craft journeys that create new memories, support local communities and steadily tick off your travel dreams.

I do not charge any additional service fees. I work for myself and I am paid by the travel suppliers once you travel, so you can be confident that I always have your best interests at heart.

By booking with me you also benefit from the support and reassurance of Travel Counsellors: a globally successful travel company offering full financial protection, 24/7 assistance and access to outstanding travel technology and up‑to‑the‑minute information.

My business grows through referrals and recommendations, and over time my customers have become a true “travel family”. Many have travelled with me for years, trusting me to look after their honeymoons, anniversaries, family adventures and those all‑important last‑minute escapes.

I regularly visit wonderful destinations, hotels and experiences around the world, so I can share first‑hand insight, honest recommendations and those little tips that turn a good holiday into an unforgettable one.

If you need help creating your dream trip, from a weekend away to an around‑the‑world adventure, I would love to chat. You can contact me using the details provided on this page, and you can also find me on social media by searching @holidaysbyem.

What my customers say

We sought Emily's help when booking our Costa Rica honeymoon in February/March 2026. She is truly wonderful - making herself available to talk over the phone when planning a 'once in a lifetime' trip and sending various options, tips and tricks to help planning. Truly a personal experience, from planning right through to each stay, with perks and welcome notes in our hotels! Absolutely recommend Emily for any trip you may be planning!

Emily has been a great help in finding us a family holiday. She has been so accommodating with our requests and sent us lots of suggestions. We can't wait to go in August and have a fabulous time.

Sarah Vrech

Booking with Emily was so easy, she looked in to lots of options for us then once we had narrowed it down she looked in to it further with alternative flights, options with different boards and all inclusive etc. Nothing seemed too much trouble when going back with questions. She always responded quickly and with such a professional but kind manner, always happy to help put my mind at rest when I had a concern or question. This is our second holiday we’ve booked with Emily and would highly recommend to family and friends

Amanda Cooper

From start to finish we had an amazing experience. Using Em was a pleasure and took away any elements of stress that you can have when planning a holiday and certainly saved us time. Em understood our brief, and her attention to detail was great, she 100% delivered. She wanted to ensure we got the most from our trip with a personalised touch. Nothing was too much trouble, and her communication was exceptional. Because of all Em's efforts we had the most amazing trip. We could not fault any of it and felt if an issue was to arise full support would have been there. Thank you Em for helping us make such fantastic memories.

I Would highly recommend using Emily Button to book a family vacation and I would use again in future. Aside from finding us the perfect family holiday in Mexico, it took away the stress and admin that goes alongside a holiday. Emily does all the hard work - checked us in and got us seats, ordered the kids meals on the plane, all documentation was sent directly to me, so I had it ready to go! I also loved the app too, which made making payments easy and all details are on your phone and easy to access. Highly recommend.

Nichola Green

Emily truly made our trip to Hawaii unforgettable. From the moment we started planning, she took all the stress off our shoulders. She handled everything, bookings, check-ins, transfers with such care and professionalism that we didn’t have to lift a finger. All we had to do was relax and enjoy ourselves! Knowing that everything was organised so seamlessly gave us total peace of mind. It made the whole experience completely stress-free. Emily’s attention to detail and thoughtful planning turned our holiday into something really special. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a smooth, stress-free travel experience. She’s absolutely fantastic!

Clare Winter

Emily, yet again, put together a wonderful trip to Rome to celebrate a big birthday. We told her what we were looking for, and she delivered. Hotel was very old (once a monastery), lovely garden to relax, helpful staff and within walking distance of many places we wanted to visit, and a short taxi ride to others. Although a central hotel, it was in a very quiet street with our room overlooking the Palatine Hill. Emily organised our self guided visit to The Colosseum, Palantine gardens and a small group tour to The Vatican City including the Sistine Chapel and Basilica. Slight hiccup with the Colosseum tickets, but Emily was on hand immediately to sort this, couldn’t wish for better service. Emily is so dedicated to her job and clients both before and after booking with her. We also took a hop on hop off bus tour so that we could see outlying areas too far to walk to, we certainly got our monies worth out of that. We booked bed and breakfast at the hotel as there are so many lovely restaurants all within walking distance. Round every corner there is something to find, a beautiful building, church, fountain, piazza or restaurant. Thank you Emily, you are a star. You’ve never let us down and we have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking to get away. You are patient, listen to what we’re looking for, and always come up trumps. You work so hard to make everyone’s dreams come true and deserve all the success this brings to you. 100% recommend Emily, she has so much experience, knowledge and total commitment to her clients. Thank you Emily.

Emily has been my travel counsellor for a few years now and there's no-one else I would rather deal with. She is keen to go the extra mile to make my holiday extra special and take the stress out of the planning and booking of any trip. I would definitely recommend her, she is a pleasure to deal with!

Emily has been fantastic… from first contact to booking and then right through to the end of our holiday! Emily is very knowledgeable about all things holidays and gives great advice and support throughout the whole booking service. Not only did I get personal service but a great price too!! I would highly recommend Emily and travel councillors to anyone who wants a personal service with attention to detail! Thanks Emily! I can’t wait to book my next holiday with you!

Helen Price

This is the 4th holiday Emily has arranged for us and once again she delivered all we asked for. She really takes the time to get to know us and what is important to us in a holiday and then finds the perfect solution. Will definitely use Emily again for next years holiday.

Gillian Davies

Emily was amazing, again. Perfect holiday, met all our needs, she is so professional and nothing is ever too much trouble. Thank you Emily x

Trudie Sutton

Milton Keynes

Emily did a great job helping us put a holiday together, remaining incredibly patient as we changed our minds over and over again! She was so helpful and enthusiastic at every stage. We sadly had to cancel the planned holiday twelve hours before departure due to airline strikes - which is where booking this via an agent came into its own. We were able to get the whole holiday refunded and then Emily worked tirelessly to put together some alternative suggestions at very short notice on a Saturday morning. In the end we went to Sri Lanka (we’d had a planned holiday here cancelled at short notice a couple of years back) and everything went really smoothly. Thank you Emily!

Emily Morrell

Emily is great! Always spends time to ensure you have everything sorted for your holiday and always goes that extra mile to help you. Her enthusiasm is infectious for making your holiday the best it can be. Would highly recommend using her.

Marie Sommerfeld

Emily was helpful from start to finish when supporting us with booking and planning our trip to Disneyland (a family group of 9). Nothing seemed to be too much to ask when we had questions and requirements. Emily was very patient with our numerous questions and concerns. She kindly booked our flights, transfers, accommodation, Disneyland passes and half board as well as extras such as character breakfasts. Emily met with us on two occasions nearer to our holiday to input passport details and talk extensively through our trip giving us advice and tips and supporting us with the Disneyland App which was extremely helpful before and throughout our trip. Just two days before Emily met with us to give us up to date paperwork, boarding passes, etc which was all very useful. There was details of how to get from our terminal in CDG to our magic shuttle transfers and timetables which was straightforward. All in all, our family trip to Disneyland went without a glitch and was stress free because of Emily’s care and diligence in ensuring we had all the information and paperwork we required. I wouldn’t hesitate to book another holiday with Emily again!

Amanda Cooper

We’ve just returned from a trip to The Isle of Man, flights arranged by Emily. As usual, all went according to plan due to the efficient, friendly Emily. I would recommend Emily to anyone for flights, bespoke holidays and the rest. She’s a very patient lady, and nothings too much trouble to achieve the holiday you want.

Lesley Skillman

Buckingham

We had an amazing time away in Portugal. Emily made all the arrangements and everything went smoothly and hassle free. This is our second trip using Emily and won’t be our last. She goes above and beyond from the initial enquiry all the way through to the trip itself. 5 ? service.

Lisa Fowler

Buckingham,

Excellent service from our personal travel counsellor, Emily from start to finish. Fully understood the brief and came up with a few options for us to consider before choosing our final choice. Everything was well detailed in hard copy and in the My TC app. One small negative, not by Emily but through the company used to do the transfer, we ended up having to call the company upon arrival as no one was there waiting and we had to wait over 30 mins before someone came to collect us. They also arrived 20 mins before collection time upon returning to airport to come home which meant we arrived at airport an hour & 15 mins before check in opened so there was a bit of extra waiting around. Other than this, we had a fab holiday and have more holidays booked through Emily that we are also looking forward to.

Lois O'Callaghan

Buckingham

We gave a brief outline of a plan for our travels and Emily came back promptly with a route and details. Emily provides advice with confidence and knowing she’s there for backup if there are any problems is reassuring. The booking process with Emily is so easy and the app provides all the information and importantly a countdown to the holiday. Looking forward to booking further holidays.
