It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Janet, based on the border of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. I am extremely passionate about travel and love nothing more than planning tailormade adventures.

I have access to hundreds of suppliers and can arrange short breaks, to cruises, a family holiday in the Mediterranean to a luxury honeymoon in the Maldives. And everything I book is 100% financially protected through the Travel Counsellors Trust.

My Filipino mother gave me the first insight into what this wonderful world has to offer, and so my travel bug started from a very young age. My travels have taken me to remote parts of the Philippines, to enjoying sunsets in South Africa, Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Indonesia, Barbados, Las Vegas, New York, Italy…the list goes on.

Think of me as your personal travel concierge and I will handle the whole process from start to finish. Which means all you need to worry about is packing your suitcase and remembering where your passport is.

I work from home so that I can be there for my two amazing kids, which means I can be flexible to work around your schedule and am available to speak outside of the normal 9-5.

Destinations on my bucket list include Sri Lanka, Mauritius and Belize – what’s on yours?

I’d love to find out more and help you create your memories that will last a lifetime.

Good, quick, personal service.

Very good and friendly service. I will be booking through Janet in the future.

Sent by Emma Greaves

Janet is absolutely amazing! So patient, meticulous and efficient. She really has her client’s best interests at front and centre and will offer different options that we really didn’t have the time to look at. She’ll also tell me when my requests are out of budget, and what I either need to compromise on, or how much extra I need to spend! I wouldn’t book a holiday with anyone else!

Sent by Kathy Poole

Janet worked extremely hard to deliver the holiday we were looking for in a climate where the prices were rising almost by the minute as countries opened their borders to international travellers once more. Janet was professional and caring throughout and kept us informed every step of the way. I will definitely be recommending her to friends and family.

Sent by Lisa Hill

Janet has had to move a trip we had planned abroad twice and a local UK trip twice because of Coronavirus and she has been brilliant. She listened to what I needed and was very attentive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.

Sent by Julia Grooms

Janet is absolutely brilliant, she has been booking us fabulous holidays for several years and every one of them has been perfect. Janet takes all the stress out of the whole process so you can just sit back and be excited about your upcoming holiday.

Sent by Wendy Mitchell

Janet is awesome, she totally understood what we were looking for and when we changed our minds on a few things she got them sorted straight away, I would confidently recommend her to anyone.

Massive thank you to Janet Tomblin for organising this fabulous holiday for us. She makes it so easy, nothing is ever too much trouble and we didn't have to worry about anything. She even made sure we could stay in the hotel an extra day when our flight was delayed!

Janet helped me and my fiancé organise an unforgettable holiday to Iceland and New York in November 2019. Everything was organised seamlessly and Janet was always on hand to help, no matter what. Would highly recommend! Thank you, Janet xx

Sent by Angela Darar

Janet is fabulous, I wouldn’t go anywhere else to arrange a holiday or short break or try to do it myself. Leave it in her capable hands and she always delivers and goes the extra mile! Thanks so much!

Janet was INCREDIBLE helping us to plan our honeymoon to the Maldives and Dubai. And she was even more amazing when our flight was cancelled as we were sat on the runway! Janet sorted everything to ensure that all our connections were reorganised so we could relax and enjoy our flight to the Maldives. She was also on hand to help with any queries and also gave us a lovely personal and warm service throughout. We will definitely be booking future trips with Janet and would highly recommend using her.

Fabulous service, Janet has been extremely helpful and patient with me in sorting a very special holiday. Also helped with a trip for a holiday which I was unable to do. Will always use Janet now - so much easier. Janet is brilliant and lovely.

Janet gave us a fantastic service. So much so that I recommended her to our friend who lives thousands of miles away in California USA. I will let my daughter know as well how Janet organised the holiday for my wife and her American friend.

Janet listened to what my requirements were and acted in a very professional and friendly manner. I would definitely use Janet again.

Janet is a warm person who likes to get to the know the client first. This proves that she knows the client inside out and can work bespoke to their needs.

Sent by Perry Bebbington

I was reluctant to use Travel Counsellors at first, it just seemed so unnecessary with the internet. Having experienced Travel Counsellors and the service from Janet Tomblin I just wish I'd started using them sooner! Janet makes finding and booking a suitable place for a holiday so much easier. I recommend both Travel Counsellors and Janet without reservation.

Janet provided a first class personal service. She investigated options available and presented a number of choices that were all perfect for us. Thank you Janet.

Sent by Elaine Drew

Janet made every effort to come up with the most suitable holiday she could for me and a friend. This was done swiftly and without any fuss. I would definitely recommend her!

Sent by Deirdre Westwood

Janet goes out of her way to find out exactly what we wanted on our holiday and was able to put together a package which suited all our needs. Communication between us has been regular, not too much, not too little. She is also going out of her way to help us with restaurant choices to suit my vegan lifestyle. I'd highly recommend using Janet and indeed we shall be doing just that again ourselves. Thank you

Sent by Susan Cropley

Janet, was very helpful in our booking. We had a large group with varied requirements, she advised us well on flights times and dates to enable us to find the best deal for the location we required. Janet is really friendly and personable, we have already recommended to our family and friends.

Janet is a wonderful helpful person, she is full of knowledge and expertise and was and is always there for help and advise. We recently booked our honeymoon through Janet and her service is second to none! We would highly recommend Janet without a doubt.

Want to say a huge thank you to Janet Tomblin for arranging everything for our lovely holiday. We are back now and had an amazing time. I always get nervous about booking holidays, never know if it’s the best place or protected if any problems etc, Janet did it from start to finish, checking in for us there and back, lovely little token notes through out, a welcome home letter and I just urge anyone wanting to book a holiday to get in touch with her. Booking a holiday has never been as easy. Thank you!

Top 5 tips for travelling with kids

05 June 2019

1. If you can - check in early I always suggest to pre-book your seats, but if you haven’t done this when you booked, then I would definitely make sure that you aim to select your seats as soon as check-in opens. It can be a complete pain if you aren’t sat together. Sometimes a kind stranger will swap seats with you, but why have the added stress of asking them and what if they won’t! 2. Allow e

Why parents should put themselves in 'time-out'

22 May 2019

I’m not suggesting we sit in the corner of the room or on the bottom step of the stairs, but I do think taking time out to regulate ourselves can only be a good thing. Today I met with some fellow Travel Counsellors and spent just a few hours away from the laptop and mobile phone relaxing in the beautiful surroundings of Thoresby Hotel and Spa in Nottinghamshire. On arrival, I wasn’t sure what t

The iconic Hurtigruten voyage along the Norwegian Fjords

13 February 2019

Back in October 2017 I was lucky enough to win a place on a trip with Hurtigruten, on board MS Kong Harald from Tromso to Bergen. If you’ve not heard of Hurtigruten, they’ve been sailing along the Norwegian coast since 1893 delivering the post, cargo and passengers to numerous tiny villages, towns and cities along the way. Today their vessels depart Bergen daily for the voyage over the Arctic Circ

Malta definitely not just for the oldies

08 October 2018

I recently spent a long weekend (4 days/3 nights) in Malta. A super quick 3-hour flight from East Midlands and we were out of the cold chill and in the wonderful all year-round warm climate of Malta. I must admit I wasn't sure what to expect, as the only people I really knew that had been to Malta were of the older generation (aka mum and dad and a few of their friends), but I was happy to make up

Why I love Italy

24 June 2017

I’ve just been reading about all the wonderful places that Italy has to offer and it has inspired me to quickly share why I love Italy so much that I chose to get married there! Where to start – well you can’t really go to Italy without going to Rome. I was lucky enough to visit Rome a few years ago and from the moment we arrived in this jaw-dropping city I was a taken back with the sheer siz
