It's Nice To Meet You

Thank you for visiting my webpage. I’m Helen and I am looking forward to speaking to you with regards to your personal holiday or travel plans.

I am very passionate about travel and have worked in the industry for over 25 years, both overseas as a holiday representative and here in the UK in various travel sales and customer service roles including at Travel Counsellors Head office.

I am not like your normal Travel Agent as I am based at home in Astley and offer a personal travel service at a time suitable for you, whether this is during the day, evenings or weekends.

I love to travel and have been to many places and have many more on my bucket list. Some of my favourite destinations are The Bahamas, Florida, Cuba and Canada. I did an amazing self drive trip down the east coast of Canada and hopefully I will get to visit the west coast soon. I am also a great lover of France and Italy, in particular camping in these countries.
No trip is too big or too small for me to arrange for you. I have access to hundreds of approved suppliers and I also offer 100% financial protection on all my bookings.

Whether you are looking for a weekend relaxing Spa break, learn to Ski in Whistler or fancy driving the Route 66, I can find the perfect trip for you and turn your dreams into reality.

I understand how important time away is, whether this be for business or pleasure which is why it is extremely important for me to get to know and fully understand your needs so I can tailor make the perfect holiday for you. I will be available from your initial enquiry right through to you returning home, along with the amazing support from our 24 hour duty office.

Please give me a call, email or if you prefer to meet up face to face and I can start to put together your travel plans for you.

I look forward to hearing from you

Helen

Portugal Easter 2024

For Easter this year we spent a lovely week in Portugal with the family where I was lucky enough to stay at two gorgeous hotels and have amazing weather? We flew with Jet2 from Manchester and spent the first 3 nights at the Patio Suite, which is a 4 star all inclusive resort. The rooms available are 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments which were extremely spacious. My 4 year old enjoyed the kids

Northern Cities Cruise

In February this year, as a family we went on our first Cruise. We decided on MSC as this offered everything we wanted as family and the price was great for our first Cruise. We sailed from Southampton on MSC Euribia and visited Hamburg, Rotterdam and Zeebrugge on our 7 night cruise. We were also due to stop in Le Harve however due to a French strike this wasn't possible so had an extra night i

Fun in Lapland

So I thought I would tell you all about my trip to Lapland with the family what an absolutely amazing experience. My children are 9 & 3 and absolutely loved every minute of it, however one day the temperature did reach -34 so the youngest did have a few melt downs We stayed in the resort of Saariselka which is only 20 minutes from the airport so was perfect. The flight was great fun with lots of

Fantastic service from Helen. So friendly, helpful and patient, taking the time to understand all of our holiday needs. She shared her knowledge and personal experiences, and took everything into account, even making the travel as stress free as possible with a toddler! Would definitely recommend!

Helpful, great recommendations, smooth and easy process.

Helen was helpful, friendly and professional, I felt assured and confident with her looking after us. She was extremely knowledgeable about the location and hotel, including the allergy considerations as my daughter has a peanut allergy, so this was very reassuring. This is my second time booking with Helen and there will be many more, thank you Helen.

I have used Travel Counsellors a number of times now for both summer holidays and city breaks - it has always been a fantastic service from start to finish. My travel counsellor listens to what I am looking for and finds me a perfect match. Smooth, stress free, personal service with the added bonus of checking you in and printing boarding passes!

This will be the third holiday that Helen Ashworth has booked for us and the service is still the same as it was when i first got in touch 3 years ago. Nothing is too much trouble for her, she goes above and beyond to help with your enquiries very promptly. I will definitely be in touch again next year for our next holiday.

Would highly recommend Helen as she provides an excellent service with great communication throughout my booking process, I enquired about an overnight stay i would like & she replied with a great few options for me, will definitely use Helen's travel again.

Gill Lee

Cannot recommend Helen enough . She has always booked our holidays and they’ve always been fab . This time we went long haul to visit family with many flights involved and it went as smooth as it could have . The final leg home we ended up stranded in Dubai because of the floods and we would probably still be there now a week on if it wasn’t for Helen going above and beyond to get us home. It wasn’t an easy task as there were 7 of us but she managed it ! I would highly recommend booking any holiday through Helen as you really never know when you might need that extra help !
