Helen has been fantastic helping me and my family tailor bespoke packages over the last few years. Leading very busy lives, Helen takes all of the stress away from managing our holiday experiences.
Helen goes above and beyond to make sure the experience is perfect. She is so knowledgeable and passionate about her job and we wouldn't book anymore holidays without Helen.
Looking forward to our next experience booked very Helen which is a cruise round Croatia

On Thursday we decided we needed a holiday in March, last minute as usual. I emailed Helen on Friday with my wish list which is always quite specific, spoke to her on Saturday morning and by Saturday evening she had put together exactly what we wanted and it was booked. As always fantastic service. Our last trip ended in a bit of a disaster with long flight delays and missing our IOM flight but Helen fixed it all and took all the stress out of it so she was our first choice when booking this trip. If you want excellent, fast, efficient service with all the hassle and stress taken off your shoulders, I would highly recommend Helen. Thanks again Helen, I can’t wait for my trip of a lifetime.

We have just returned for our trip of a lifetime to Lapland. Helen listened to our requirements and put together the perfect package for us. We stayed in a glass igloo and were picked up and taken to stunning locations for a husky safari, reindeer sleigh ride and an aurora hunting trip. After doing lots of research we didn’t want the short taster sessions offered by some other tour operators, nor the too commercial Santa based holiday and I’m so glad we didn’t! Travelling in the snow into the wilderness, meeting and learning about the huskies and reindeer were the highlights of the trip for us. Each was a half day experience, didn’t feel rushed and we felt so welcomed by the Finnish guides. The igloo was so warm and cosy and I can’t explain how magical it was to live and sleep under the stars. As we have three children aged 8,11 and 14, Helen ensured that we had a morning free to visit Santa, which was an unforgettable experience. We can’t recommend Helen enough, I’ve already had friends ask for her details after seeing our pictures.

It’s the second time we have used Helen Parker Travel Counsellor and she did not disappoint. Italy was just beautiful.
Perfect flights, airport experience, lounge booking, private airport transfer (with air conditioning), hotel (fabulous), split trip (the kids came with us for one week and then we had another week alone) and communication throughout. Cannot recommend her more highly (and I’m hard to please).
Thanks lovely. We really appreciate everything you did.
The app is great too. Enables you to have everything at your fingertips.

Helen has been fabulous helping me to plan my special birthday trip to Barbados. Myself and my husband have never travelled outside of Europe before. So her expertise and extensive knowledge has been invaluable. We are so excited now for our trip,, knowing everything has been taken care of.

Helen is able to find exactly what we want as a family & is very patient in tweaking things 'til they are just right. With the back up of Travel Counsellors its gives us the piece of mind in case anything happens & when our holiday was cancelled in the first lockdown we were so reassured when it was all handled for us taking away all the stress

Helen has the patience of a Saint, and she has the drive to find you the perfect holiday - everytime ... I've lost count of the number of people I have recommended her to, and every one of them has been as happy as me with what she is able to offer! ... If you want a door to door trip, planned to perfection, look no further! ... I would write more, but I'm just about to pack my case for a trip to Barbados that Helen planned. thanks Helen! X

Helen is the most amazing travel counsellor whose attention to detail cannot be beaten. Any idea for a holiday we’ve given her has been transformed into reality with her special touches added. Nothing is too much trouble for Helen, she is always available for help, advice or reassurance (not that you’ll need it as nothing is left to chance!). She is always so bubbly and friendly. Helen is always our first choice when it comes to booking a trip.

I cannot believe how much time I've wasted in the past on searching websites, reading reviews and then feeling anxious whether I'd made the best decisions. Helen made it simple with her knowledge and clarity. It was so quick and easy. Really looking forward to our trip!
