Hi, I’m Gemma, your personal Travel Counsellor. Thank you for visiting my page.
Whether it’s a short local trip or a long-haul adventure you’re after, I can arrange it with ease. No enquiry is too big or small! I am an experienced travel agent and holiday representative having worked in Greece and Bulgaria for several years, I have also travelled extensively across Europe, the USA and Canada. My aim is to provide a stress-free experience for all your travel needs. No more trawling the internet for hours!
I am passionate about exploring new places, experiencing cultures and providing excellent customer service. You are guaranteed an efficient and thorough booking experience with expert advice you can trust.
Alongside providing the best service, the most important thing for me is building trust and working with my clients to create their perfect trip. I’ll ask the right questions to understand fully what you want out of your trip. Whatever the occasion, whatever the budget, I will ensure you have a truly personal experience booking with me.
Luckily for you, I’m not restricted to office hours as so many high street agents are. So, if evenings or weekends suit you better to get in touch then I can work around you. You can contact me by telephone, email, social media or if you’d prefer, we can meet for a chat and a coffee.
My service doesn't stop with the booking, I'm on hand to answer any questions, and to guide you through any form filling and my personal service is always just a phone call away. Everything booked through me has 100% financial protection for your complete peace of mind, and I have the support of a 24/7 Duty Office monitoring world events and entry regulations. If any issues do occur I will rectify them with the least amount of stress to you. You can even contact me when you are away!
Booking with me will get you a bespoke package at a competitive price.
So, if you’re looking for UK breaks, family holidays, city breaks, cruises, Disney holidays, activity holidays, tailor-made itineraries, sports tours, weddings and honeymoons or even the stag and hen weekends, then look no further.
I look forward to hearing from you soon to start planning your next adventure.

Gemma was friendly, knowledgeable and super efficient. When we revised our choices, she was understanding and found us the most amazing holiday. It alleviated what had become a stressful exercise; trying to find a celebration holiday with 5 of my friends. She took away that stress and replaced it with excitement at the prospect of our trip.

Gemma is fantastic. She takes all the stress out of booking a holiday and has been especially amazing over this very difficult time in terms of transferring flights and holidays to the following year. I can't imagine booking a holiday without her and I tell all my friends how great she is!

This was the first time I’ve used an external company to book a holiday. As we were a big party looking for a skiing holiday we knew we needed expert advice as it’s a minefield if you have no clue. Gemma took the brief and gave us some great options to look at. She was prompt to provide quotes and answer all my questions, putting the whole party at ease! Once we confirmed the booking process was so easy and quick. Total piece of mind our holiday is being organised by a professional! It saved soooo much time and stress and no doubt money so I’d definitely recommend Gemma! Thanks!

Gemma has been so helpful with planning this trip, it has really taken the pressure off and turned it into an easy and enjoyable experience. We made some tweaks to the original itinerary and these were no problem for Gemma. I really feel confident in the service I've received and can't wait for our trip to America next year!

We asked Gemma to find us our perfect honeymoon destination. We weren't really sure where we wanted to go, but with Gemma's help and lot's of patience we went from looking at 2 weeks in the Caribbean to finally booking a twin stay with 4 nights in Singapore and 10 nights in Koh Samui. Both locations were absolutely perfect and we had the most lovely time. We couldn't have done it without Gemma's help. I would recommend her to anyone especially as you can be safe in the knowledge that if anything goes wrong you are completely covered by Travel Counsellors. Thank you so much, we wish we could go back!!! x

We were looking for an ideal honeymoon to match our budget. We weren’t 100% on where we wanted to go but Gemma sent us loads of great options and we later decided to come to Greece. Gemma was patient with our at first indecisiveness and so prompt at answering all of our questions. We’ve had a fabulous time at a lovely hotel in Greece and we will definitely be recommending Gemma and will ourselves seek guidance in the future. Thanks so much Gem, you’ve helped us have a wonderful honeymoon.

Me and my partner have always wanted to go to Iceland to see the Northern Lights! We have been toying with going for the last few years but it has always been out of our budget each time we looked into it because we wanted to do so many things! Until now! Gemma has provided us with exactly what we want and for exactly when we wanted! Gemma is a lovely accommodating person who has made our booking experience stress free. She has answered every query and put us at ease which has allowed us to book this stress free. I can safely say if it wasn't for Gemma doing this for us, I would still be sat here talking about it instead of living it. Thank you so much and here's to the countdown - roll on January!
