Based In Guernsey

Fiona Sarre

Available for new enquiries

It's Nice To Meet You

Hello and welcome to my website!

I have lived in Guernsey for most of my life, but have also spent time living in London, before travelling the world in 2003.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor I was an Accountant for 22 years but my passion was always in travel. I decided to follow my dreams and in 2019 I joined Travel Counsellors through their Academy.

I have been to a lot of places in the world, but my favourite place to visit in the whole world is Disney World in Florida, because I am a Disney fanatic! My aim is to visit every Disney theme park in the world! I also love to cruise and have done Caribbean, Norwegian Fjords and Mediterranean cruises with my family.

I am married with two gorgeous girls, Chloe and Holly, who are now 16 and 14. Holly is as passionate about Disney as I am, but Chloe is more of a Harry Potter fan!

The best thing about being a Travel Counsellor is that every time a new enquiry comes in, I get that same excitement that I get when I am booking my own holiday. I have such a passion for travel that I take as much care in finding the perfect holiday for you as I do when I am planning my own holiday. It doesn't cost you anything extra to book your holiday through me, but you do get my expertise and I do all the work for you, so you don't have to. Because I appreciate that your time is precious I will save you the hassle of trawling the internet for your perfect holiday.

So please consider me for all of your holiday plans, I cannot wait to help you plan your perfect trip.

Disney and Universal Florida Our family of four are just back from a wonderful trip to Disney World and Universal Studios Florida. As first timers to these parks we were a little overwhelmed by all the information we had read up on prior to booking. Fortunately, we were provided with fantastic customer service from our Travel Counsellor Fiona Sarre. Fiona provided such a depth of knowledge regarding the parks, suitable hotels and even provided some very helpful tips and tricks to ensure we were able to fit everything into our stay. Fiona even watched the flight prices for us over several weeks to ensure that when she booked them they were at the lowest fare she could get. We would thoroughly recommend Fiona @ Travel Counsellors and will be contacting her in the near future when we plan for our next holiday.

Fiona was very prompt in following up any questions & very knowledgeable. A very good communicator.

We had the pleasure of using Fiona’s services to book our dream holiday to Disney World in Orlando this summer (2024). Fiona’s knowledge of the parks, the hotels, the best times to go, the weather, the ESTAs and every other detail concerned with a trip to Disney was impeccable, her responses to emails (even on weekends) were rapid and informative, and she made the whole experience very easy for us to navigate and understand. I personally would recommend anyone interested in a holiday of a lifetime to Disney in Florida to contact Fiona at the Travel Counsellors. The four of us (two adults, two children) loved everything about the trip and we couldn’t have had the same experience without Fiona’s hard work to get it all booked and sorted out for us, so we had peace of mind that everything was in order. Thank you Fiona, we look forward to booking our next trip with you!

Sent by Steve Rogers

The trip was painless thanks to Fiona's input. The end destination - Warsaw and the Marriott airport hotel - was a first for both of us so there was a little bit of a learning curve with respect to the airport itself and getting to the hotel, but thanks to an excellent after sales service to back up the trip, all went very smoothly indeed.

Sent by Andrew Croft

Staying at Universal Orlando's Loews Royal Pacific Resort

17 October 2023

This is a ‘Premier’ hotel at Universal Orlando Resort, which basically means it is one of the top 3 hotels on site, and when you stay here you receive the Express Pass for free which allows you to skip the lines in the Universal Parks. This was our 2nd stay here (with the first being 2017) and there had been a few changes. The lobby had moved around a bit and the grab and go marketplace had also

Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter review

19 September 2023

Disney’s Port Orleans Resort French Quarter – review Port Orleans French Quarter is one of the smallest resorts on Walt Disney World property and is classed as a Moderate resort. The theming is based on the romance and pageantry of New Orleans historic French Quarter with cobblestone streets, gas lamps, wrought-iron balconies and mardi-gras characters. This resort is very relaxing and laid-back

Cunard's Queen Mary 2

20 June 2023

I was fortunate enough to be invited to spend 7 nights on board Cunard’s Queen Mary 2 on a Norwegian Fjords itinerary to experience the Cunard brand, the ship, and the shore experiences that are on offer. I was pleased when I received this invitation because after cruising a lot with Royal Caribbean with my family, I wanted to see for myself how different Cunard is, in terms of service, ship facil

Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the Seas - Part 3

15 May 2022

Following on from Part 2, after eating all the food and drinking all the cocktails... We ate our dinner tonight in the Windjammer, on the basis of we’d had a large lunch, so we could just have a small amount to eat up here… I still had to be rolled out! I opted for the freshly made stir-fry with noodles which they made in front of me. I chose what I wanted in my stir-fry - chicken, baby corn, bea

Royal Caribbean's Wonder of the seas - Part 2

15 May 2022

Following on from part 1... We ate in the main dining room this evening. I was not hungry after a rather large, late lunch in the Windjammer! But I forced myself to eat a 3 course meal in here purely for research purposes ?? It did not disappoint. I had the French Onion soup for starter, which was one of the nicest I have ever had, with so much flavour and of course the delicious cheesy topped c

Royal Caribbean's new ship, Wonder of the Seas, part 1

12 May 2022

Let me introduce you to Royal Caribbean’s latest ship – Wonder of the Seas. The new largest cruise ship in the world. Just taking the record from their previous ship, Symphony of the Seas. Fortunately I have already spent a week on sister ship Symphony of the Seas back in 2018 – her first season in service – so I kind of knew what to expect when I met Wonder, given that they are the same class in

Cancun trip - part 2 - Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Resort

07 December 2021

After 5 nights at the Moon Palace Grand we checked out and headed up the coast right to the top of the hotel strip, to the Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach Resort. As we approached this part of the coastline, we were met with the most stunning turquoise blue sea that I have ever seen. This area of Cancun is definitely different to where we had just spent the previous 5 days. For a start there a

Cancun trip, part 1 - Moon Palace Grand

07 December 2021

In November 2021 I had the opportunity to travel to Mexico and stay in two different resorts in Cancun – The Moon Palace Grand, located about 10 minutes drive south of Cancun International Airport, and The Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, located right at the very top of the hotel strip. Both resorts are very different, and the areas that they are located are also very different too. Firstly

Waking up on day 2, we hadn't been told where we were sailing to on this 2 night trip, all we knew was that we weren't stopping anywhere to get off during this time. We just so happened to be moored just off Weymouth, alongside two other P&O ships. We got up and went to Horizon, which in non-Covid times, would be the buffet restaurant. We were shown to our table, and then went straight to the foo

Arriving at the port of Southampton I did feel a little emotional. After cruises being cancelled for 16 or so months, dropping our cases off at the bag drop point made what had previously felt very surreal, feel very real! I couldn't believe I was actually going on a cruise after all this time! It has been 2 years for me since I last went on a cruise ship, and after having several holidays cancell

Deluxe options for a family holiday to Orlando

12 October 2020

A holiday to Orlando is expensive when you factor in park tickets, food, merchandise etc. Some people think your hotel is just a place to sleep. I disagree. Visiting the theme parks is exhausting, and we like to factor in rest days, so for us, a nice hotel with decent facilities and a great pool, is very important. Personally we like to stay in a moderate resort (see yesterday’s blog for ideas of

Medium budget options for a family holiday to Orlando

Orlando is on a lot of people’s bucket list, especially if you have children, and often it is a once in a lifetime experience.

There are so many options, and it comes down to personal choice, and whether

Over the next few days I’m going to focus on Orlando (as that is my favourite place to go!). I understand different people have different budgets, so I’m going to choose different options for different wallets.

Walt Disney World - with children or without?

08 January 2020

Walt Disney World – with children or without? Disney isn’t just for children; it is for the child within you too. I took my children (then aged 6 and 8) to Disney World, Florida, in 2017. We had an amazing time, came back with some fantastic memories. But it left me wanting to go back without them! Not because I hate them! But because I wanted to take my time and absorb the details. That is what

My 10 favourite things about cruising with Royal Caribbean

1. The service From the minute you arrive at the port to the minute you return to the port. When you arrive at the port the porters take your luggage either from your car if you are driving, or from your taxi where you are dropped off.

Cruising out of Southampton

Having experienced 3 cruise holidays previously, one Caribbean and two Mediterranean, I was keen to test out sailing from Southampton.

It turned out to be a dream. We stayed in an apartment near to the port the night befor
