It's Nice To Meet You

I am an award winning, experienced travel professional and offer a wide range of fully financially protected, quality holidays.

You're in safe hands with me; I've been in travel more than 20 years and a Travel Counsellor for 14 years. I've organised lots of dream holidays, honeymoons and bucket list trips and have lots of experience and knowledge to call on.

Do you find researching and booking holidays stressful? Do you worry about getting hold of someone who can help you if things don't go to plan? My customers have my personal mobile number and can call me at any time. I pride myself on offering a very personal service and you're never on your own when you've booked with me. I have been available to guide and support my customers throughout strikes, flight cancellations and itinerary changes; my professionalism and experience reassures my customers and I stay up to date on all the changing rules and regulations, passing on relevant information so my customers don't have to worry about a thing.

I am fortunate to have travelled all over the world; some of my favourite places include California, New York and The Whitsundays in Australia. I love the Caribbean for the laid back pace of life and I’m lucky that I’ve visited many of these beautiful islands, most recently St Lucia.

I've visited Canada, exploring Ontario including Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa and the Muskoka Region. I love the USA, and road trips here are a speciality of mine. In Malaysia I explored Kuala Lumpur and Borneo and in Thailand I stayed in Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi and also the wonderful Elephant Hills (look it up, it is one for the bucket list!). In 2024 I was in Vietnam and explored the north and south in depth. Closer to home I have spent time in Sorrento, Cyprus and Dubrovnik as well as many Greek islands and am an expert in this area, having visited Kos, Rhodes, Crete, Corfu, Zante, Paxos, and Parga. My most recent trip was the Maldives - true paradise!

If you're planning a trip to any of these places, I've got the up to date inside track on the places to stay and things to see while you are there.

If you are local to Stamford, you might like to know that I'm the travel columnist for the Stamford Mercury, look out for my monthly column! I'm also on Facebook and most active on Twitter - please look me up @TCEmmaSavage

I look forward to helping you with your travel plans soon.

Just speed and efficiency. Competitive pricing with no hassle. I also think Emma listens and remembers likes and dislikes which is really important to us

Sent by Alison Fletcher

I have never had such a fantastic experience when booking a holiday, so efficient, thorough and helpful, with such attention to detail. Thank you Emma Savage

Sent by George Rice

I've booked several holidays with Emma over a number of years and have never been disappointed in any of the products offered. I'll ask for a region/resort invariably all-inclusive. Emma will provide me with a range of options within my specified budget and i'll make my choice and pay for it. Simple and always excellent. I've never had cause for complaint or been disappointed in any way. Thank you.

Friendly, mega helpful, all round brill!

Sent by Stacy Jutson

Emma was recommended to be by a friend and immediately I felt I was listened to and my requests were met. Emma helped design my honeymoon from knowledge, recommendations and advice. This was much appreciated and took away stress for me. The personal touch of friendliness, posted card etc was just lovely. I cannot wait to experience our honeymoon and provide further feedback.

Sent by Kathryn Kimbley

I've already mentioned Emma to a few people who I think might be interested. I'd definitely use Emma again. She made the whole process painless and offered convenient options and was incredibly helpful, going above and beyond. Her advice, suggestions and communication were excellent and she even helped plan the trip in such a way that my medical condition was taken into account. I truly appreciate all her help and support and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emma.

Sent by Jonathan Burton

Emma has always been extremely helpful when booking family holidays & has also helped us in a mini crisis whilst we were on holiday, I find it very reassuring to know her expertise is only a phone call or email away.

Sent by Graham Frost

I sent Emma an email on a Monday morning, asking her to make some enquiries about a trip to Australia that I am planning. Within one and a half hours, Emma had found my outward and return flights, and six internal flights within Australlia, at a price that my friends don't believe. I booked that same day, and my dream is becoming a reality, all thanks to Emma's professionalism and excellent service.

Sent by Michaela Chantrell

Fantastic service.. easy and straight forward with a great personal touch, I have recommended to all my collegues and friends already and will continue to use Emma myself

Sent by Rita Grey

I was by a very lucky because by chance my daughter remembered meeting Emma a few years ago and Antonia gave me her number and suggested that I should make contact with her as I was getting nowhere fast trying to book flights for us to travel Almeria in September. One phone call to Emma and the problem was sorted with return flights from Birmingham confirmed to me within 30 minutes Totally brilliant!

Sent by Matthew Wilson

Fast, really fast service done in a friendly and professional manner. Emma really looks after her clients and you can tell its important to her that they are looked after properly. Thanks Emma!

Sent by Deborah Bennett

Emma is fab, I've used her services several times. Emma is helpful and her recommendations are always spot on! It's a pleasure to have Emma on your side, makes the holiday booking process completely stress free. I would recommend Emma 100%

Sent by Andrew Vickers

Emma took the hassle out of booking a holiday and found us a great deal at short notice. We have recommended her expert service to family and friends. A great service tailored to meet our needs, fantastic! Thank you Emma!

Sent by Charis Wedgwood

I have booked a few holidays with Emma Savage now. It leaves me with complete peace of mind and she always finds me fantastic locations at great prices. Her customer service is amazing from cards to phone calls on the way to the airport - it’s fabulous. Thank you Emma xx

Sent by Helen Wilcox

Emma was amazing. She took all of the worry away and made planning and booking our holiday a lovely relaxing experience

Sent by John Wedgwood

Emma is the ideal person to help us with our holiday choices. We have recently retired and are plannning at least four good holidays a year from next year and Emma can guide us through the maze with an unbiased view with her knowledge and experience.

Sent by Lita List

I work for a long haul tour operator and had not made a booking for a European holiday like this before so didn't really know where to start. We gave Emma a few suggestions, she quickly identified the holiday that was perfect for us and ticked all our boxes, and then promptly delivered a competitive quote. We didn't hesitate to book with Emma and were further impressed with the information we were given at the time of booking, and the very comprehensive documentation we subsequently received. The hand written thank you card she sent us for booking with her was the icing on the cake. Emma is a credit to you and a jewel in your crown!

Sent by Dee Hinch

Emma was brilliant in organising a much needed family holiday break in the sunshine. Superb recommendations, she clearly did her homework and had a good knowledge of the area we wished to visit. Very personal service, much appreciated. Thank you Emma, we would definitely use your travel services again and highly recommend you.

Sent by Jen Little

Emma is informative and professional - taking all the hassle out of trying to find the right holiday!

Sent by Charis Wedgwood

Emma was extremely helpful and no amount of emails and questions was too much trouble. I feel completely at ease travelling to Thailand in September knowing she has planned everything to the last detail. Thanks Emma.

Sent by Charlotte Marsh

Emma has transformed my attitude towards holidays. Since having kids, I don't have as much enthusiasm for trawling through websites, remaining on hold for hours at a time. Whether I already know where I want to go, or I am looking for suggestions, her service is impeccable and she doesn't seem to mind my disorganised series of picky questions! She seems to be ALWAYS available too! She has helped us a few times already & my friends now ask for her help too. I know we'll be back to ask for her help in making more wonderful memories that will last a lifetime. Thanks to twitter & finding Emma via Travel Counsellors I have started looking forward to holidays again rather than seeing them as a mission to organise. Thank You The Marshes

Sent by Hannah King

Emma was lovely to deal with. She was extremely knowledgeable and made the process of booking a complex holiday painless and easy. Thank you.

Sent by Vicki Turner

Emma Savage has been an absolute dream in helping us choose our holiday last year in Mauritius and just of late for our honeymoon booking. I would certainly recommend her to anyone wanting the holiday of a lifetime! Emma is so enthusiastic and efficient and we have had some lovely chats! Thank you Emma!

Sent by Helen Root

Nothing is too much trouble for Emma. She offers honest advice and finds the most amazing deals you'd never find yourself. She makes everything so easy and the holiday start early as the booking is so stress free.

Sent by Joanne Lewis

Emma is a pleasure to work with - I trust her to find the best deal for us and she always gets back to you when she says she will. I’m confident she dots the I's and crosses the t's which is really important to me when booking travel. Thanks again Emma!

Sent by Monique Brown

Emma gave me excellent customer service! She found me and my partner the hotel that's best for the both of us, luxury yet still lively and fun! She found me the perfect holiday within two days, after I had been looking for almost two or three weeks before hand. I would definitely book with Emma again, infact, I know that I will! I have already started recommending her to all my friends and family.

Sent by Iain Mackenzie

To be honest I booked this vacation because of you and the way you conduct your Tweets etc. I've worked with many travel agents over the years and some of them haven’t a clue about service or customer care. I know it will be a great holiday.

Sent by Neil Foot

I have already recommended Emma to a work colleague who is trying to arrange her honeymoon as well as other friends. I cannot recommend Emma highly enough for her professional yet friendly service. Her commitment to finding out what we want from the holiday is something which really makes a difference and her prompt responses to any and all queries is certainly appreciated.

Sent by Corris Cooper

You have really done us both proud Emma. Your service is and has been first class and second to none. From our first conversation, you have given an extremely high standard of customer service - which I have never experienced before and will certainly use your service again. Emma thank you so very much from us both. You have made our first trip to New York truly unforgettable

Sent by Victoria Redshaw

We initially asked for a quote from both Trailfinders and Emma for a holiday to South East Asia. Both sent competitive quotes, but Emma was the one to point out that it was monsoon season in our chosen destination at the time we wished to visit. A complete change of plan and it was only Emma we turned to this time. She came back very, very quickly with a great deal and we booked immediately! We have already recommended Emma to friends.

Sent by Chris Cooper-Hayes

Dealing with Emma Savage is a pleasure, and has made booking our holiday more relaxing and simple than ever before, at a price that was difficult to beat. Emma was very quick to respond to our needs and made requested adjustments to our booking with no fuss. The attention to detail is superb and I have already recommended Emma to friends. Shall definitely be booking with her again. Thanks Emma!

Sent by Sue Bolter

Emma loves her work and knows just about everything about travel! Excellent help!

Sent by Jo Lewis

Emma has been a delight to speak with, she listened to what was important to us and then came back to us very quickly with some options, working with me through my endless list of questions to ensure we were completely satisfied. She has contacted me when she says she will and I have been really pleased with the speed that she has followed up on associated paperwork, giving me complete confidence. This is the first of many holidays i'm sure we will book with Emma! Thank you.

Sent by Lita List

I contacted Emma via Twitter for a quote for a family holiday in the Med. She came back to me straight away asking for more detailed information regarding our specific needs in order to best meet our requirements. Emma gave me a time frame in which she expected to deliver the quote, and she was even better than her word and my quote arrived a day later. I was provided with three options to look at, which showed she had really listened to what we wanted as a family in terms of budget, location and facilities. Even though we could not proceed with the booking I have to say we were very impressed with the level of customer service Emma delivered. The ability to exactly match a holiday to the clients needs is a rare skill which Emma has in spades.

Sent by Prudence Oliver

Emma was very good, patient, efficient and friendly. I have already recommended her to friends and family.

I would give a score of ten to Emma. I found Emma excellent and very helpful, going the extra mile. So friendly, I will recommend to all and will definitely use Emma again.

Sent by Stuart Poynor

Emma provided a level of customer service that is seldom experienced these days. As a result of Emma's help I was able to book a holiday without any of the stress of having to sort everything out. Excellent !

Sent by Deborah Edwards

Have booked a few trips with Emma and each time the level of service has been nothing short of outstanding. I am constantly praising to anybody who will listen how great she is, I never bother researching any trips now I just call Emma with what I would like and she sorts everything, in short I would never consider booking a holiday through anybody else.

Sent by Clare Wynn

Emma is incredibly helpful and seems to always be available. If she says she's going to ring or send an email then she does it... a real breath of fresh air! Thanks :-)

Sent by Rita Lamb

I would not hesitate to recommend Emma as she is always very helpful and willing to answer any questions asked of her. She is always polite and seems to genuinely care that the customer books the best holiday they could wish for

Sent by Rae Lestrange

Emma has worked around me, which has in turn made it easy for me to book my holiday with no stress about having to call the agent between a certain time. Emma is professional, efficient, nice mannered, and above all, does what she said she will do- there is nothing worse than an agent saying they will call or email, and then they dont - i am more than satisfied with Emma's service.

Sent by Simon Martin

Emma is was a total delight to deal with, we were total pains very last minute but her planning and detail was exceptional, we will only deal with Emma in the future and she is quite simply the only way i will book holidays in the future. Simon Martin

Sent by Simon Bayes-Garrould

Very efficient and very easy to deal with, got us a very good deal, much better than the one I saw on line, so very pleased with her advice and help.

Sent by Alison Bowen

Emma was great - first time we have used a travel agent to book a holiday, we normally do it ourselves. We would definitely recommend Emma and ask her to book our future holidays :-)

Sent by Philip Spear

Emma Savage has been exemplary throughout. No question or enquiry was too much trouble and I can't recommend her enough to other friends thinking about travelling. In short a very positive friendly and professional experience. Thankyou.

Sent by Lisa Wilcockson

Emma pulled out all the stops to find us a last minute holiday. She provided us with a first class personal service and will definitely be in touch again for our next holiday. Thank you Emma.

Sent by David Silsby

Emma is a very pleasant and professional person to invite into our home to discuss our travel arrangements. We have never been on a cruise before and my wife was a bit apprehensive about the whole thing, but Emma came up with a couple of suggestions that would suit and answered all our questions, so we are now looking forward to a relaxing time cruising around the Med. We will have no hesitation in recommending her to anybody who we find that are looking for a particular holiday or short break and need a guiding hand or they want all the hassle of booking a holiday done for them. Well done Emma, it was great to work with you and we are sure to use your service in the future.

Sent by Helen Banks

Hi Emma Yes, your service certainly did make me smile! You came up with a fantastic itinerary for our proposed holiday to Chile, taking into account lots of the different places on our wish list. Lots of care and attention to detail and you're clearly someone who loves travel yourself. Now just need to save up the pennies! Best wishes Helen & Chris

Sent by Katie Kitson

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your help in organising our honeymoon. We didn’t really know what we wanted at all, and it was thanks to you that we managed to narrow everything down - even though we did change our minds a few times you never made us feel like we were being awkward and made the process more enjoyable and exciting than had we of gone to one of the high street holiday agents. It was your attention to detail that really impressed us along with how quick you responded to any request, and all at a great price! (We found the same holiday elsewhere for a lot more money. So not only did we get a great honeymoon that matched our criteria, an enjoyable experience organising it and an fantastic honeymoon, we also saved money – which we spent on upgrading our flights when we arrived at the airport.) I have already recommended you to several people and would not hesitate in doing so again.

Sent by Clare Wight

Emma has been amazing. Where else will you get a travel agent that searches for the best deals on your holiday choice on a Saturday evening?

Sent by Clive Thomas

Emma was incredibly efficient and helpful throughout our dealings with her. I contacted her over a Bank Holiday weekend to ask for her help in booking a family holiday. She replied very promptly with an e-mail containing links to the hotels that she recommended, the price and even the Trip Advisor review. She made the whole process really quick and easy for us and even rang us on the Bank Holiday to go through our options. Emma Savage goes the extra mile for her clients and I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to book a holiday the stress free way!

Sent by Chris Swain

Have known Emma a short time but class her as a good friend she will always try to go the extra mile and is always open to suggestions. My family and friends will use Emma for all their travel far or near. Its nice to give someone the information for your travels knowing you will be looked after. Thank you Emma Chris Swain

Sent by Ali Ziff

Emma helped us arrange our honeymoon and she was really fab. We were incredibly indecisive and couldn’t even decide on a location at first, but Emma was really patient while we jumped from one plan to another – if she found us annoying, she didn’t show it! After we settled on the Maldives, she came up with the perfect place immediately, and now we can’t wait for January! Emma was always very friendly and efficient, and we will be recommending her to anyone looking for help booking a trip! Ali and Todd, London

Sent by Graeme Sutherland

I used Emma to arrange my honeymoon to Italy and was very pleased to have found her! She was extremely friendly and approachable, while maintaining a very professional attitude. She worked hard to understand the requirements of my fiancée and I, and put together a package that met our needs exactly. I will be recommending Emma to my friends and colleagues, and hope to call on her services again in the future.

I was absolutely bowled over by Emma's professionalism, attention to detail and promptness when I booked my trip to Canada. I know where I'll be going for future travel requirements - back to Emma Savage at Travel Counsellors!

Magical Maldives

23 June 2025

I’ve recently been to paradise, also known as LUX South Ari Atoll, Maldives. It was my first time to the Maldives, and I think the bar has been well and truly set high! The Maldives is known for being a dream destination, however, when you are thinking about a trip to the Maldives there’s quite a lot to consider before you make plans. Firstly, it’s just over a 10 hour flight; some people prefer

Summer Holiday in Kos

13 August 2019

Kos is a fantastic place for a summer holiday, and it is a very pretty island. Long and thin, it is only 2km wide at is narrowest point! Kos is only just over 3 hours flight time from the UK, so not too far if you are travelling with children. I stayed at the all-inclusive Gaia Palace hotel in Mastichiari. A short transfer of 20 minutes from the airport was perfect for us and before long we were

Authentic Croatia & historic Dubrovnik

30 April 2019

I recently visited Croatia, staying on the Dubrovnik Riviera in a pretty little resort called Cavtat. I was looking for somewhere authentic, unspoilt and yet close to the historic city of Dubrovnik, which I wanted to explore. Cavtat did not disappoint, in fact it exceeded my expectations. It is a harbour town, with little restaurants dotted along the harbour front overlooking the crystal clear

Fantastic fun at Disneyland

05 March 2019

I travelled on the Eurostar from London direct to Marne le Vallee, which is at the Disneyland Resort. I recommend allowing at least 1.5 hours for check-in as the queues at London were very long. The journey itself was really comfortable and the two-hour journey went fast; before we knew it we were at Disneyland! We were staying at the Disneyland Hotel which is Disney's 5* flagship hotel, situa

Family fun in Menorca

24 July 2018

Menorca is a fantastic choice for a family holiday; it is a short 2.5-hour flight from the UK and the flight times tend to be at civilized hours, perfect when you are travelling with children. The transfer times in resort aren't too long either - I stayed in Cala'n Bosch which is one of the resorts furthest from the airport and the transfer duration was 45 minutes. We checked into the Zafiro Ho

Sorrento & Amalfi Coast

17 April 2018

Sorrento is a beautiful place to spend some time; known for its lemons and oranges, they are everywhere to see. Visiting in springtime is a great idea as all the blossom is on the trees and the weather is perfect for a warm Mediterranean break, without the crowds of the summer months. Sorrento is easy to get around and quite compact, so it is well suited to those who are only here for a few d

Short Winter Break

23 February 2018

My family and I enjoyed a great short break to Devon in February. I booked a cottage for a three-night escape in a small village called Langtree, near Torrington. It was ideally located for exploring north Devon (an area I hadn't explored up to now). The cottage had two bedrooms and was really well set up - they even provided milk, tea/coffee and a bottle of wine on arrival! The cottage was cos

Kuala Lumpur & Borneo

26 October 2017

I spent a fantastic week exploring Kuala Lumpur and Borneo recently, here is what I got up to... Turkish Airlines flew us out from Manchester via Istanbul. The first thing which struck me was the excellent service from the cabin crew. The economy cabin was comfortable and the entertainment onboard was really good - lots of blockbuster movies, and a wide choice of television and music channels.

Palm Springs, Santa Barbara & Newport Beach

22 May 2017

I was lucky enough to be invited over to California by the tourist board & Air New Zealand, here's how I got on! Flying out in business class with Air New Zealand was a fabulous way to start the trip. The seats were very comfortable and converted at the click of a switch into a flat bed. The entertainment on board was wide ranging and enjoyable and I was impressed with the food offering. I was

Thailand with a twist

17 December 2016

I’ve just got back from the most amazing adventure! I flew to Thailand with Thai Airways on their A380 which was a lovely experience; the service and food was excellent. It is an 11 hour flight to Bangkok, but the time passed quickly thanks to good inflight entertainment and a good book! I was due to stay in several places on my trip and I was really looking forward to it. My first stay was at

Bergen & Norwegian Fjords Cruise

07 April 2016

Norway has always been on my 'must see' list and I finally got there! I flew with Norwegian Airlines from Gatwick and was very impressed with the efficiency and comfort of the flight. Norwegian is a low cost airline but I had a baggage allowance of 20kg and was able to buy food and drink on board. The flight was on time and took 1hour 45 minutes to reach Bergen. Bergen is a beautiful city.

City break in Munich

08 April 2013

I've just come back from Munich, the capital of Bavaria and I had such a fantastic time! I flew there with Lufthansa from Heathrow - I hadn't flown with them before and I was really impressed. Never before has a plane I've been on taken off EARLY from an airport, but with trademark German efficiency, we did! Upon landing in Munich's terminal 2, it was a really easy two minute walk to the tube s

My tour around Cyprus

08 April 2013

I was lucky enough to spend a week exploring Cyprus during March and what a beautiful island it is! The Cyprus Tourist Board showed me around and I visited Larnaca, Ayia Napa, Protaras, Limassol, Paphos and the Troodos Mountains. Here is a summary of my adventure. Cyprus is just under five hours flying time from London and I flew with Aegean from Heathrow, although there are lots of regional ai

Lake Tahoe, California

01 January 2013

Lake Tahoe is situated in a beautiful, mountainous part of California, and is best known for being a premiere ski destination but it can also be a perfect choice for a spring or summer break too. Its closest airport is Reno and the lake is located around an hour from there. It's an easy drive with scenery which will take your breath away. For me, one of the most spectacular things I discovered is

Beautiful Bermuda

21 December 2012

Stylish, desirable, exclusive, world-class golf...these are all words which spring to mind when describing the island of Bermuda. It's also a tiny island measuring only 21 miles long, lying all on its own in the middle of the ocean. It is one very desirable destination and I was fortunate enough to spend a few days there being shown around by the Bermuda Tourism Board. I learnt so many fascinat

Mammoth Lakes, California

22 October 2012

Mammoth by name and mammoth by nature. This spectacular resort is very popular with skiers and it's easy to see why. Situated at an elevation of 8,000ft, Mammoth is a monster of a resort - one of the biggest in North America - and offers skiing for an incredibly long season which begins in November and runs through to June, offering the most consistent snowfall in California. This vast resort has

Ottowa - Canada's capital city

14 June 2012

Ottowa is a great city and is very safe with a low key atmosphere, unlike other capital cities such as London and Paris. Whilst it is the capital city of Canada, it is smaller than Toronto and has a very relaxed feel to it. It's the perfect short break destination for those who enjoy the outdoors lifestyle, as biking, hiking and green spaces are very much in evidence here. It's also a great pla

Toronto, Niagra Falls & Niagra on the Lake

04 June 2012

Toronto is Canada's largest city and is a fabulous holiday destination. It's home to some iconic attractions and rivals New York for the sheer amount of shopping on offer. There are three main 'areas' to the city - Yorkville (home to the trendy boutiques and shops), Dundas Square area (the shopping and entertainment district including the famous Eaton Centre) and the Harbourfront from where y
