Local Travel Expert. Global Experience. Tailor-Made Holidays Designed Around You.

Hi, I'm Gemma Reeve.

With almost 30 years in the travel industry and a passion for exploring the world myself, I help clients create unforgettable holidays, from family beach escapes and city breaks to luxury tailor-made journeys and once-in-a-lifetime adventures.

I travel extensively throughout the year, visiting destinations across Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Asia and beyond. This allows me to provide genuine first-hand recommendations and insider knowledge that simply can't be found through online booking sites.

Many of my clients come to me because they want more than just a holiday booking. They want expert advice, honest recommendations and someone they can trust to take care of every detail. Whether you're planning a family holiday, a honeymoon, a cruise, a European city break or a complex multi-centre itinerary across Asia or South America, I'll work closely with you to create a trip that is completely tailored to your needs.

As an independent Travel Counsellor, I'm not tied to a particular tour operator or supplier. This means I can recommend the holiday that is genuinely right for you, drawing on a huge range of trusted travel partners and my own extensive industry knowledge.

Based locally, I am proud to offer a personal service that combines the convenience of modern technology with the reassurance of having a dedicated travel expert on hand whenever you need support. Many of my clients return year after year and recommend me to friends and family because they know they can rely on me to deliver exceptional service and memorable travel experiences.

Whether you're dreaming of a family holiday in the Mediterranean, a luxury honeymoon, a USA road trip, an adventure through South America or a bespoke journey through Asia, I'd love to help bring your plans to life.

Let's start planning your next adventure.

I give 10 as I felt Gemma was amazing at sorting out trip for booking and actually booking it. Great service. Obviously we haven’t been on our trip yet so can only score on what has happened so far. That’s why I delayed in scoring as we haven’t yet taken the trip!!

Gemma understood our requirements as a family and made great suggestions for destinations and accommodation options. Where we had options, she explained her opinion on what she thought would be best, without bring too forceful. She was patient and understanding of the changing goal posts (regarding dates) as my older teenagers changed their availability a few times!! We haven’t had our family holiday as yet, but it’s all booked through Gemma and we have high hopes!

I am really pleased with the service I get from Gemma. I don't have a lot of time to look into holidays and what I love about working with Gemma is that she knows what I want and sends me options and all I have to do is choose. I have and will continue to recommend Gemma.

Derek Mclean

I cannot recommend Gemma highly enough. I presented her with a unique set of problems for my family holiday, including getting one daughter from and back to Korea within a week, and she came up with 2 options that fitted all our needs. She was also happy to answer all my questions and generally was really supportive, taking all the stress away. She is an absolute diamond ??

Contacted Gemma with a request for a last minute holiday, flying out within the next 5 days. She came back to me within a couple of hours with 5 fantastic options to choose from and within another couple of hours (because we couldn’t make our mind up) our holiday was booked, checked in and had our boarding passes!! Amazing service and a fantastic holiday - thanks Gemma!!

Carol Taylor

Burgess Hill

From the minute I spoke to Gemma I felt reassured. Luckily she was able to interpret my wide brief and we've just returned from a fabulous short cruise. Plans were easily made and altered by Gemma, which was lovely. All dealt with by a quick email. More than that though, Gemma's thoughtful messages in the run up to our departure helped build our excitement! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gemma, what a star!

Sam Matthew

Lindfield

She helped me organise a wonderful trip for my parents around Istanbul, Greece (Athens and Corfu) and Croatia. She was extremely helpful and accommodating with all the changes my parents asked. I would really recommend her services!

Already recommended to several people, cannot recommend Gemma highly enough for taking a very challenging brief and finding solutions to all my problems, allowing me to enjoy the process of booking a holiday, rather than finding it stressful
