  • Brian Costello

    02071250008 London

    Hi and thank you for taking the time to view my profile.My passion for travel started back in 1993 when after six years of working for National Westminster Bank, I decided I wanted to see the world. I travelled to Africa, India, Nepal, Thailand, Mexico, Guatemala and finally Canada where I stayed for three years working in an art gallery in Toronto, and worked my way across to Vancouver with the same company.On my return to the UK in 1997, I started a position with Fidelity Investments but quickly realised my bug for travel was not satiated and in 1998, embarked on a trip to the Philippines, Fiji and Australia where I worked for St George Bank for nine months. I visited Guatemala for the second time travelling by bus through Mexico up to San Francisco where I stayed for five years. I travelled extensively across the west coast visiting Oregon, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada and of all the places I visited, Lake Tahoe is my favourite. I returned to the UK in 2003 and naturally it made perfect sense to me to embark on a career in travel so I joined Flightcentre UK, firstly in the direct stores in New Malden, then moving to Sutton Surrey store where I remained until 2007. I was sent on numerous educational trips to destinations such as South Africa, New Zealand, Rio, New York and countless European countries all of which were fantastic and enabled me to gain an extensive knowledge of how travel operators and hotels work. I happily share this knowledge with customers and colleagues alike with the aim of benefitting their travel experience.In 2007 I decided to move to Corporate Traveller. I was spending more and more time with corporate clients, establishing their needs, cementing business relationships, making recommendations and thus making savings. I managed a number of very high profile accounts, examples including Aston Martin, BBVA bank, Celebrity Speakers, Circassia Pharmaceutical and many others and I always maintained the relationships with both bookers and travellers to a very high standard. I have won customer service awards and was the only consultant in the company to attend the Global Ball in Berlin in 2018, (runner up in 2019) based on customer excellence survey results and pride myself on the relationships I have with my clients. I have now embarked on a career with Travel Counsellors, a company founded in 1994, with full ATOL protection, over two thousand staff, full out of hours protection, Queens award winner three times, a five star trust pilot rating, British Travel awards winners and most important of all for me, a company with a truly holistic approach to customers and consultants. Our priorities will always be your safety and your travel experience.Kind regards,Brian Costello.

    I’m Kerensa - based in Brookmans Park, Hertfordshire. Living with my husband Mark, our "kids" are now 21,19 and nearly 17 ! Last year I became a Gold Travel Counsellor ! It's the top achievement at TC, making me one of the top 10 percent of the Travel Agents. I'm proud of this achievement I've worked super hard ensuring I provide my clients with the best possible experience on their hard earnt holidays. Well done for finding me, you can put your next holiday idea in my capable hands ! Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I worked for over 15 years in the city on a busy trading floor for Bank of America, a big American investment bank selling Fixed Income products. It was a fantastic, thrilling, competitive and demanding job but not very family friendly. On the upside I travelled extensively for work and pleasure so that’s when I realised I had a great existing skill set, a perfect foundation for a new career in travel as it is something I'm very passionate and fussy about. Friends and family have sought my holiday advice for years knowing I do that extensive, in-depth research, demand high quality, expect good value, love lots of luxury and I know just how important holidays are!But here we are 7 years on drawing on those years of experience in booking my own family holidays - young kids to now demanding teens, I know exactly how important it is to ensure it meets everyone’s requirements. We’ve had many luxury holidays in Dubai, Oman, Maldives, Abu Dhabi and had equally amazing experiences, making memories travelling extensively in Europe and travel annually to Greece (as my father is Greek) so that country is dear to me. Whilst luxury has its place it’s also nice to experience the culture and the authenticity of a country too. I work from home, I have many local clients but so many are based all over the UK, some are abroad too. With 24/7 Duty office support, in-depth training Travel Counsellors and my growing passion for travel and lovely clients I really have the dream job! I’m available throughout the day and evenings - even if I’m not at my desk I will always respond quickly so I can help you start making your exciting holiday plans without delay! Competitive prices, with first class service! So apart from my annual trips to Greece 2022 and 2023 has been busy with some must see destinations: Cappadocia - stunning landscape and hot air balloons Jordan for my big birthday taking in Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea and Amman A weekend trip back to Morocco enjoying the souks and luxury hotels just outside the Medina Seychelles for Xmas visiting Mahe, Praslin, Silhouette and La Digue Barbados Girls Trip - rebooked for March 2024 too ! Mainland Greece - Romanos and the new W Hotel Greek Island Hopping - Naxos, Andros, Ios and Paros were our family destinations for 2023 Kerala - luxury houseboat and tour of Kerala finishing in Doha Thailand - Elephant Hills Next year - more big plans for me and you ! Life is just too short to go on mediocre holidays - let's have some amazing experiences with friends or family ! Contact me for a free quote.

  • Jonny Thorniley

    01625 423 856 Macclesfield

    Hello and a big thank you for taking the time to visit my webpage, I love to travel and by visiting this webpage hopefully you do too! I am a highly experienced travel agent based in Macclesfield, Cheshire, with global destinations at my fingertips.I trust you will find the below introduction helpful and that I can inspire you to pick up the phone or drop me a line for a chat about where in the world next awaits you.My passion for travel really took off when I booked a round the world flight ticket in 1997. I largely lived, worked and travelled in Australia, also taking in Fiji and Hawaii on the way home. I have always loved adventure and this opened a whole new world of excitement, experiences and many life-long friends.Ever since, I have been fortunate to travel to many worldwide destinations and experience some magical places. From mountaineering and jungle trekking in Borneo, cruising the Egyptian Nile and riding donkeys to the Valley of the Kings, snowboarding and husky sledding in Canada, scuba diving with sharks in Fiji, hang gliding in Brazil, safaris in Kenya, honeymooning in Zanzibar, crayfish parties in Sweden, to road trips across the USA taking in some of the most breath-taking scenery imaginable.One of my favourite memories is proposing to my wife whilst scuba diving in Tobago, using an underwater slate and a makeshift ring. Thankfully she ticked the ‘Yes’ box and we returned to the surface to cheers from our fellow dive buddies. As of 2018 there are 195 countries in the world and I find it amazing that whilst I feel well travelled, I know I have only really scratched the surface (and occasionally gone underneath when diving!) To fuel my passion for travel, I worked for seven years for two bespoke travel companies, immersing myself further into new destinations, sharing my knowledge and experience and what it can do for the human spirit. I am highly experienced helping business and leisure travellers, designing bespoke trips whilst offering an exceptional level of care and service, whatever your travel requirements and aspirations, big or small. I am available 24/7, before, during and after your trip, to help and assist with recommendations and solving those unforeseen hiccups.In a world of computers, robots and technology, there is still nothing like a personal touch. Let me help take you on your next journey and make it an even more memorable experience.

There I stayed until impending redundancy this July when all the units were closed. Mainly dealing with Tailor Made and bespoke holiday packages , I developed a small but loyal customer base which I hope will stand me in good stead as embark on my new venture. The main areas I have good travel experience in are the Indian Ocean India ,South Africa,The Far East and my biggest passion South America.

    To say that travel is my passion is an understatement... travel is my life and, with nearly 40 years in the Travel Industry, I have planned some of the most incredible travel experiences for my clients.As a Travel Counsellor I have the expertise of a whole host of wonderful travel partners across the world and together we have tips and ideas that can really enhance your holiday experience, making you memories that will last a lifetime.A little bit about me..... I got the travel bug in my late teens and took off for a year motoring across Australia in a beaten-up old VW campervan. I then spent six months backpacking around Thailand, Malaysia, Borneo, Laos, Bali, Singapore and Sri Lanka which was an incredible experience. I am also extremely proud to say that I worked in Disneyworld for a year, and while I was there I was lucky enough to take trips to California, New York and New Orleans and also down to the Caribbean Islands, Bahamas, and Mexico - and of course I know Florida like the back of my hand!People always ask which country is the best that I've visited, and I always give them my 'Top 4' as they all have different reasons for being so awesome and they all have a very special place in my heart... New Zealand for the sheer breath-taking beauty of South Island. Grenada for that little sparkling gem of an island in an already stupidly beautiful Caribbean. Iceland for its surreal landscape, pure air and magical twilight that really does make you question your very existence, and Kenya for a night I will never forget at Treetops Lodge where I was incredibly lucky to stay in the same room where Queen Elizabeth stayed when she visited as a Princess and left as Queen.I look forward to hearing from you and discussing your next travel plans, I am always happy to chat through thoughts and ideas about any country so please do not hesitate to give me a call or drop me an email.With very best wishes & happy travels, Sarah

    Starting my own business and setting up with Travel Counsellors is something that feels so natural, I wonder why I didn’t do it sooner. Having spent my career to date in events and luxury hospitality, I feel so passionately about delivering a personal service to clients to make their lives easier and less stressful. I love everything about travel from a fly and flop holiday to backpacking around the lesser known parts of South East Asia, travel has always been a part of my life and a true passion of mine.To me, the idea of having a Travel Counsellor that you know and trust, is like having a personal assistant to manage any and all aspects of what travel and holidays mean to you. Getting to know clients, understanding their needs and requirements, what makes them tick and learning about what they want from a trip is what makes me love doing what I do. For me, researching a new place or putting together an itinerary for a client doesn’t really feel like work and when I say I can research, I will find out everything there is to know to ensure it really will deliver what you’re looking for. As a working mum to 2 young children, having the flexibility to work when and where I want is also a dream come true. I am available to chat (on the phone or online) whenever it suits you, and where possible, would always suggest a meeting in person so I can really get to know you. In the current day, where life sometimes seems impossibly busy, and the internet, whilst it has it’s many benefits, can also leave us feeling overwhelmed and caught in a rabbit hole, I am here to take away any stress that booking a holiday or a trip away may cause.

    Hi my name is Dan and I am a Travel Counsellor in London.I have successfully worked in the travel and leisure industry for 20 years and it is something that really ticks a lot of boxes for me.Discovering new places, meeting different people and cultures are important for one’s personal growth. Ever since I started working in the industry my eyes have been opened to a huge world out there to explore and helping people discover and book trips to those far off lands gives me a great sense of satisfaction in that I might have helped someone discover something new in this world.As well as leisure travel, I also offer corporate travel. I have honed my skills in designing and managing travel itineraries that optimize efficiency, comfort, and cost-effectiveness. From arranging complex multi-city trips to ensuring last-minute changes are handled smoothly, I thrive in fast-paced environments where attention to detail and adaptability are crucial.I started working in the travel industry in the cruise sector which brings to the table another exciting world of opportunities to see several parts of the world in one holiday. It is a unique type of travel that allows a customer to experience several destinations and cultures in one holiday. This was closely followed by the tailor making of unique holidays, custom made for the travellers so if there is something that you would like to experience more of then that can be arranged.Although it sounds cliché I would never book a holiday for someone that I would be averse to taking myself. One should always put themselves in the customers shoes and imagine, as best as you can, what they want to do and how they want to do it. One’s work is a reflection of a person’s personality and the enjoyment and success I have achieved in travel holds me in good stead so don’t hesitate to call for a chat to see what adventure I can help you go on next.

    Our free time with our loved ones is precious, and we need to get it right.During exam revision at university, I spent every lunch break in the local travel shop, browsing the magazines and dreaming of where I would go when I had finished. I completed my degree, travelled for a year, and qualified as an accountant, working in London. But what started as a way to escape my studies grew into a passion for researching and planning travel. As a result, I took extensive training in the Travel Counsellor Academy, and started my own independent travel business in May 2016.I take time to get to know my clients, their travel dreams and their absolute must-haves. I listen to the details of what works for them and what needs to be avoided. I genuinely care that they have the best holidays possible, and that the planning process is as smooth and as fun as it can be.I can help you with travel plans for all worldwide destinations, and all holiday styles. I have travelled extensively, and with great variety, staying in $4 guesthouses in Phnom Penh, and 5* resorts in St Lucia. In 2016 I returned from four years living in Barbados, so I would consider myself an expert on this location, and the surrounding islands. I love to attend and participate in sporting and musical events as I travel. I’ve golfed in Patagonia, dived with sharks in Saba, partied at Coachella festival, and cheered on the Heat in Miami. Not that you need an excuse, but if you want to travel for a specific interest, I look forward to hearing all about it, and building your holidays accordingly.My hours are flexible and I can discuss your travel requirements at a time that suits you, including weekends and evenings.

    Hello there and thank you for visiting my web page. I have been in the travel industry for 37 years now. I started straight from school as a trainee and worked my way up to a Branch Manager of a high-street travel agency. After a few years, I moved to Head Office into a Business Development role where I was responsible for training travel agents all over the UK, this included worldwide destination training and cruising. I also led many trips abroad visiting new destinations and hotels (it was a hard job but someone had to do it!) I left the travel business for a short time to help with my family business but soon missed the travel bug, and before joining Travel Counsellors I worked as a Cruise Specialist selling many different cruises all over the world. I've been lucky enough to of sailed on over 80 cruises with many different cruise lines and I am often recommended to first time cruisers as its imperative you sail on the right ship!

When I travel, I like to go behind the touristy scene and see what makes the people and the towns tick, I love to go off the beaten track and explore. My saying is, “I haven’t been to everywhere yet, but it’s on my list”.I joined Travel Counsellors because I really believe in personal service, I have always excelled in customer service, I remember the “old days” when nothing was too much trouble and it was just the norm to go above and beyond for a customer and that’s what I will do for you here at Travel Counsellors. I have been with Travel Counsellors for 9 years now and the majority of my business now comes from repeat clients and referrals, you can read some of my clients comments on my service below, I am certainly very proud to provide exceptional customer service and making my clients dreams come true.

From trekking holidays in Bhutan, Nepal and Corsica, to luxury safaris in Tanzania & Kenya, beach holidays in Thailand, Turkey and the Greek Islands, plus tours of Uganda, Lebanon, India, Brazil and Argentina.

    Beth Thomas

    01536 540 003 Kettering

    Firstly, congratulations for landing safely on my page, which means one of two things, you misspelt ''Kuoni Kettering" in Google, or you’re very serious about your holidays and you're looking for travel done differently. If it's the former, then there isn't one in Kettering (see I'm helping already). If it's the latter, then let's grab a coffee and make a start... It’s a travel service, travel agency type-thingy but it’s different? Essentially yes, it's about fantastic personal service. Which means you can contact me at any time and you'll always get me. It means that I remember that last year you wanted to go to Borneo but your eldest broke his leg on the stupid skateboard that you told your mother she shouldn't buy him for Christmas. I remember that you prefer American Airlines business to BA... because of the ice cream sundaes... Right, well that's all good then. But it's not really just me looking after you and the two of us chatting endlessly on WhatsApp over which is the nicest bit of Bali when I should actually be getting my son ready for school. I'm in cahoots with the multi-award winning Travel Counsellors, a company that provides a global network of travel goodness (GNTG, it's a thing, promise) that means you and I can just relax and get back to discussing Disney Dining packages while they sit quietly in the background, doing what they do. They use their financial muscle so that I can offer you incredible deals, and absolutely guarantee every penny you spend through their financial trust. And as we debate why some of the lounges at Dubai airport really are so much better than others, they’re doing exciting things like the ATOL bonding, and making sure there’s always someone on the end of the phone for you if you need it. No matter what the time, or the time zone. You don’t do ‘normal’ holidays then? I most certainly do but I suppose in essence what I do is make normal trips amazing! That Virgin South Africa trip where you liked everything except day 6 of the itinerary? Then I'll break the whole thing down for you and we'll get rid of 'day at leisure', build in a Blue Safari and repackage it all up for you. I've got access to all the major travel suppliers and can add all the extras too, so the car that means you can get you to Gatwick while you finish the presentation you've been procrastinating over for 3 weeks, or the lounge that takes you closer to gin, and further from the airport Frankie and Benny's. We’ve got this far then, and you’re probably thinking why me? Not in the unexpected-item-in-the-bagging-area-for-the-fourth-time-kinda way, but in the who-is-this-woman-who’s-made-me-a-fake-coffee-and-rambled-on-about-holidays-for-three-paragraphs-kinda-way. I’m Beth (Hi!) Without giving too much away, I started my career in travel back when everyone thought Let Loose were the new NKOTB. Travel makes me me, and I’ve visited dozens of countries across five continents. Bluntly it’s an obsession I bore my husband with every evening. So if it can’t be me experiencing what it’s like to peer over the grand canyon, or feel the bounce of the seaplane skimming the azure that surrounds my paradise Maldivian island then I’ll do all in my power to make it feel for you like it did for me. So, with coffee dwindling and muffin finished (there was a muffin?!), I hope I've given you a sense of what travel done differently with me and with Travel Counsellors can mean.PS: You can contact me about literally any kind of trip, that honeymoon you’re finally planning (can’t believe he took so long to ask you!), that annual cruise around the Caribbean (I’m a bit of a cruise expert/bore to be honest – love a cruise), a romantic weekend getaway to New York, that long imagined Canada road trip, or just a beach to plonk yourself on (anywhere) for two weeks in the Summer.Maybe worth saying as well, there is no fee for my service. The many many travel suppliers I use sort me out, which is why I had a coffee AND a muffin!

    This year is my 38th year in the travel industry, with 20 of those at Travel Counsellors. Before that, I worked for well-known high street and independent travel agencies and have gained a thorough knowledge of the world. The industry is constantly evolving, and the package holiday is no longer what it used to be. People are so much more adventurous these days, but at the same time they want to receive expert advice, great service and know their money is totally protected. As well as dealing with mainstream and specialist suppliers, I have direct access to ground suppliers in many destinations, so I can make bespoke travel arrangements and have conversations with arrangers already in that country, which means that you receive a much more authentic and personally crafted experience, without compromise. I research every holiday, without exception, as if I am travelling on it, so you will receive personal recommendations as well as the assurance of the checking of reviews before you even receive the quotation. I have the opportunity to be either a Travel Agent or a Tour Operator so I will match your needs every time.You will receive honest advice and my personal service - right through to your return home. I am extremely passionate about travel and pride myself in delivering unrivalled personal customer service and holiday choices to suit your exact requirements.Be it Corporate Travel, Groups, City breaks, Cruise, Luxury holidays, around the world itineraries, or family holidays to all continents - I can help you find the ideal choice.You can also be sure that your money is safe with The Travel Counsellors Financial Trust. Every penny you spend with me is completely protected, with no ifs or buts.As well as my own personal knowledge, there are over 2000 Travel Counsellors globally with an average of 22 years’ experience each, so I can tap into their knowledge too – just as if they are sat next to me!I love to travel myself too, having holidayed recently in Antigua, Spain, Dubai, Mauritius, Turkey, Egypt and Cornwall. I have also visited many European locations and I have travelled to Florida and The Bahamas, Amsterdam, Lanzarote, Tenerife, Dubai, Las Vegas, Jamaica, Spain, Greece and the Dominican Republic, as well as skiing in France for the first time - I have travelled around much of the UK too! Last year took me to The Peloponnese in Greece and a Villa stay in Spain, a beautiful restful stay in Antigua and I also travelled extensively around Sri Lanka too.Working from the comfort of my home means that I can offer you a flexible service; I often work evenings and weekends plus I also have the flexibility of being able to email you detailed quotes and information if you wish to your home or work - saving you valuable time.I look forward to hearing from you.

  • Jenny Igoe

    0203 627 2660 Whetstone

    My name is Jenny and I am based in Whetstone, North London.I love being a Travel Counsellor because I can use my extensive travel experience to create unique personalised trips for my clients, whether that's for leisure or business.I believe that arranging any kind of travel should be exciting and not stressful. I like to think of myself as offering quite a retro service with a personal human touch, with actual tickets, and I find that clients become friends just as often as friends become clients! I am the complete opposite of booking online.I was first shown how amazing it is to travel by my parents, who no matter what would ensure we holidayed abroad every year growing up. I had only visited European countries until the age of 20, but within Europe we did some exciting trips like a cruise along the Norwegian Fjords, a holiday to Switzerland in the summertime as well as many beach holidays to Spain and Greece. At 20 I went travelling properly for the first and my first experience of a tropical country was Thailand. I lived and worked for a year in Sydney Australia which was really special at such a young age. On the way home I spent time in Fiji, Hawaii, LA and Las Vegas.I did a Modern Apprenticeship in Travel and Customer Service with Thomas Cook originally, and then I spent 10 years at Flight Centre in central London which was great experience in tailor made, business and adventure travel. During those years I was sent on some amazing trips to places like Los Angeles, Tanzania for a safari and beautiful Zanzibar! I have been very lucky.In 2008 my husband and I went travelling together to South and Central America. We spent a month in Brazil, experienced the Rio Carnival and travelled south via many beaches to Sao Paolo and then Iguazzu Falls. We travelled Argentina for a month too which was mind blowing before joining a tour of Peru and Bolivia. We trekked the Inca Trail, saw pickled brains at the Witches Market in La Paz and even spent a day in San Pedro jail. If you have read the book Marching Powder you will know about this place! After a month of yoga and sunshine in Costa Rica we ended the trip with island hopping in Panama, Belize and finally Mexico.We now have 3 children and for a few years holidays became centered around what is easy, which generally meant the Balearic Islands for us, which we love. We try to get across to Ireland every year for a big road trip visiting family and friends... its always lots of fresh air and cups of tea.The last 2 years we have become adventurous again introducing our kids to long haul flights and experiences outside of our comfort zone. We took them to Dubai and Australia last year and flew home on the brand new QF9 direct flight from Perth to London! 17 hours with a 8,7 and 3 year old and I now consider myself an expert on travelling long haul with kids! This year we tried our first ever ski trip - AMAZING - totally hooked. If you would like any help creating a travel experience or holiday I love nothing more than receiving a call or email with your initial thoughts! I want to help peoples travel dreams come true, no matter what their needs are. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Look at the web page of any Travel Counsellor and you will see we all sing the same song, we are all passionate about travel.The passion comes from discovery of a new exciting destination or the revisiting of places familiar.The fun begins when the decision is made about the latest holiday choice for yourself or a joint adventure to look forward to with friends or loved ones. I just love helping people towards that moment when the deposit is paid and the ticking off of the calendar can begin.My fascination with travel began when I was very young as my father worked abroad for long periods in the late 50s and 60s when it took a week to get to South America! Where most people see hustle and bustle at an airport, I see everyone either at the start or the end of an adventure.For me, guest experience is paramount. The nicest part is getting to know my clients so I can help them find the perfect bespoke holiday experience. I have travelled and lived for five years in Australia, travelled and lived for 16 years in Spain, visited USA, Indonesia, Greece and the Islands, Italy, France and the Baltics. Before joining the Travel Counsellors team I worked as a cruise specialist for 4 wonderful years for one of the most award winning cruise companies in the world. If you have never tried a cruise holiday before, you could be in for a treat!
