Bespoke itineraries tailored to you

Destination expertise

With thousands of years of collective travel experience within the Travel Counsellors community, we’ve seen a lot of the world. Pair this with the know-how of our partners in destination and you’ve got a reliable source of knowledge that you can draw on to ensure you see the places that will have the greatest impact on your holiday.

Locally led tours

Nobody does it quite like the locals do, and for a truly authentic experience of your destination they’re the people to follow. Your Travel Counsellor can organise tours for you led by local residents who have seen the best that a place has to offer and are ready to take you off the beaten track, uncovering the hidden gems that only those in the know go and visit.

 Combined land, sea and river itineraries

Whether it’s pairing a river cruise down the Mekong with an extended stay in Ho Chi Minh, or a voyage through the Mediterranean with a historic experience of Athens, your Travel Counsellor can piece together an itinerary that features everything you hope to experience.

Unique encounters

From insightful foraging excursions to find ingredients for your dinner, to masterclasses on creating local handicrafts, the experiences that your Travel Counsellor can offer stretch way beyond the traditional perception of what a holiday should be.

Villas

Private villas create an opportunity to hide away for a few days with all the facilities you’ll need to be self-sufficient, some featuring their own pool or even butler service for when you feel like being waited on.

Vehicle hire

From campervans and motorhomes to scooters and luxury cars, your Travel Counsellor can arrange vehicle hire to allow you to add a road trip into your next getaway. What’s more, they can even help you plan out your route and book your accommodation along the way.

Stop-over stays

If you’re travelling long haul and want to make the most of your journey, speak to your Travel Counsellor about adding in a stop-over. Places like Singapore and New York act as gateways to the magnificent regions that lay beyond them and are the ideal bookend for an adventure.

Tickets to attractions

Visiting local attractions like museums, galleries, theme parks and popular landmarks is often a highlight of a holiday, and something that your Travel Counsellor will be happy to plan in for your next visit.
