Hayley has been very helpful in finding us a holiday, especially as we had no clear destination in mind. The hotel and destination in Crete were perfect for us and was exactly the style of hotel we were looking for. We all had such an amazing time and didn’t want to leave. The hotel and room were beautiful, staff so thoughtful and helpful and food delicious.
We hadn’t been abroad for many years so had many questions and Hayley was always available with a quick and helpful response. She provided us with many useful tips for how to organise excursions once we were there which put my mind at rest. The flights and private transfers were co-ordinated perfectly and we found it useful having all of the flight documentation, schedules and insurance all in one place.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hayley Bass and would definitely book another holiday through her in the future. Thanks again Hayley.

Years ago, my uncle said I should visit Iceland, therefore when Hayley contacted me with an itinerary for an Icelandic trip I had to go, and what an itinerary it was –
Northern Lights Cruise
Thermal spa
Golden Circle tour in a Super Jeep
Snowmobiling
The whole experience was unbelievable. I cannot thank Hayley Bass and Carla Luxford enough for making this an incredible trip. Even when the Blue Lagoon visit had to be cancelled, due to seismic activities in the area, they managed to reschedule the event at the Sky Lagoon, which was a fantastic evening experience. The hotel and every activity were to the highest standard.
Thank you again for a spectacular break, I would definitely recommend Hayley and Carla if you were considering a special holiday. I would certainly be using them for future excursions

So I recently went on a trip to Iceland with Hayley Bass and Carla Luxford from Travel Councellors. It never occured to me to go to Iceland before, I am so glad that they thought of it and invited me along. What a bonkers country!! Where else can you bake Icelandic Rye Bread underground? Where else can you swim in a lagoon with water temperature of 75 degrees whilst wearing a woolly hat? And where else can you ride a snowmobile for miles across a glacier? I have never seen such sensationally, surreal, strange scenery in any other part of the world I have been to. Now I understand why many movies are shot in Iceland, as it has got everything (except palm trees!) As for Hayley and Carla, their level of service was outstanding. Before we went, due to a last minute earthquake, one of our excursions to the Blue Lagoon had to be cancelled because of location proximity to the quake. Hayley and Carla pulled out all the stops, and got us booked in to the alternative Sky Lagoon instead, which was a fabulous experience. We assumed we wouldn't be going to any lagoon, and avoiding an earthquake is not something someone is likely to complain about!! Also, we knew in advance what excursions we were going on, but while we were there, Hayley and Carla were doing some research and found a simulated Fly Over Iceland excursion we could go on in Reykjavik. That was an amazing experience too. They both looked after us so well, I cannot recommend them highly enough. And if they think they're getting rid of me anytime soon..... they're out of luck on that score!

We stayed in the Villa Beach Mate on the island of Lanzarote and the villa was amazing! It was very modern and absolutely spotless. The villa is a bit out of the way, but this didn't bother us at all. We hired a car and spent our time exploring Lanzarote. Being able to come back to a beautiful villa every day was amazing. We have 2 small children who spent as much time as they could in our private swimming pool. This was our first time staying in a villa and we couldn't recommend it enough. The whole booking process was so easy, Hayley just managed everything for us. We can't wait for Hayley's help to book our next holiday.

Fantastic fountain view room, 26 floors up, could see for miles! We had someone drive into the back of the hire car but we were ok, he admitted fault and due to you arranging correct paperwork before we went all insurances, wavers etc were in place so no harm or hassle caused.

Hayley has been an absolute godsend in helping me organise my husband’s trip to Vegas to celebrate his 50th. She came up with a shortlist of activities and shows for us which saved me hours of trawling the internet, sourced the tickets for the dates and times we wanted and was incredibly patient with us even when we kept changing our minds (as there’s just so much choice in Vegas!) In the end, we went for the High Roller (London-Eye type ride) on the strip, a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon, a zip wire in the Canyon and the Criss Angel Magic Mindfreak show. If you are busy and value your time then I would highly recommend Hayley for both her knowledge and customer experience. She’s now tasked with helping us organise a girls trip to Iceland now!

I am used to arranging my own holidays online but met Hayley and thought I would try booking a holiday through her because it is sometimes difficult to co-ordinate everything to ensure our whole holiday is ATOL protected in case of a problem.
We travelled to Las Vegas for a week with a trip out to Zion National Park. After seeing our brief, Hayley suggested our hotels and after researching them ourselves we decided to follow her recommendations.
Hayley booked us onto our flight and when we arrived in the plane we found that she had booked seats in the "bubble" on top of the plane, a lovely surprise and start to our holiday. Hayley also managed to secure a room in the pyramid right at the front of the Luxor overlooking the strip, but the icing on the cake was our stay at the Delano when we were directed to a seperate reception, where we could help ourselves to soft drinks, tea and coffee throughout our stay, and they gave us a small suite with an amazing view down the strip. The first evening we also got a platter of fruit.
The whole holiday was brilliant, although only a week I feel that we have been away for ages, and the outward flight and the efforts Hayley made with the rooms definitely made a difference to our experience. From our original starting point of saving the stress when booking, we ended up feeling spoilt and had a fantastic and memorable time. Hayley really did make a difference to our holiday experience and we would definitely recommend booking through her for a personal touch.

Everything was so perfectly arranged, from booking in, hotel, flight and transfers.
Even the suitcase labels were all written out in our holiday pack,
the holiday pack was all organised in separate folders and written on in order of needed - PERFECT.
All we had to do was pack, get on the plane, and thoroughly enjoy

Also a very special treat of champagne was waiting as Hayley had notified the hotel of our anniversary.
