Jo helped me organise a trip to Monaco for the Grand Prix. She recommended we stay in Nice & get the train to Monaco as it would be easier. Jo arranged the flights & transfers which were seamless & the train station to Monaco was a 5 minute walk. Jo also advised that the promenade was a 15 minute walk with the beach & great restaurants for when we got back from Monaco....it was beautiful. I can highly recommend, from the start of chatting to Jo, to the easy to use App, payment process, organisation of the whole trip, it was so easy. I will certainly be using Jo again for all future trips

3 week trip to the Isle of Lewis, Scotland For me, the best holiday travel, and parts of some business travel, is all about enjoyment, comfort, ease of transitions and relaxing! My recent experiences with Jo as my travel muse and guide have been truly liberating and extraordinarily helpful. Starting with a discussion of the objectives and parameters of my coming “trip of a lifetime“, a monthlong stay on the Isle of Lewis, Jo demonstrated extraordinary ability to understand my objectives and to note my challenge with detail. Jo flawlessly filled in the blanks and the practical things that were necessary to send me off on my coming trip in a relaxed, well-prepared state of mind. I particularly appreciated the personal touch in a whole host of things that she recommended and investigated on my behalf. I feel truly blessed to have had Jo’s assistance so I can truly look forward to this coming travel!

Jo booked our wonderful honeymoon to Sydney, Bali & Singapore. She listened to what we wanted from the trip and planned a bespoke experience. We loved every minute of it. Transfers were pre-planned and easy and booking with Jo gave us peace of mind whilst on the other side of the world. The Travel Counsellors app kept us to up to date with our itinerary. We will definitely be in touch with Jo again for another adventure.

Family safari in Kenya + a week in Mauritius "Safari was incredible! Our best holiday ever! Apart from being amazingly lucky with what we saw and experienced, the whole itinerary was perfect, the guide excellent and the accommodation spot on. Our guide Alex himself went out of his way to adjust and adapt the itinerary in the Mara to suit what he thought may work slightly better for us… His years of experience were very evident and definitely helped to ensure we saw so much."

Croatia island hopping: My wife and I needed a stress free holiday after 18 months with no break. Having no time to organise the holiday ourselves, I handed it Jo. Great decision! Jo perfectly matched the itinerary to our very specific requirements on locations and hotel types. She managed this despite giving her only a few weeks notice. A brilliant and relaxed holiday thank you Jo!

I have already recommended Jo to so many friends. She's been brilliant finding us the best flights, hotels and tours for our trip to Vietnam and is incredibly responsive and understands what we're looking for.

Vancouver, Banff & Toronto Jo, what a wonderful holiday you arranged for us! Everything went like clockwork, not that I doubted you, but every time I had a small doubt that something wasn’t going to be sorted, it was! With 3 planes, a train, and multiple transfers and trips arranged that must have been some feat! The Rocky Mountaineer is a must for anyone who visits Canada, and Banff was just a magical and stunning place to visit, just needed to see a Bear (at a distance) to make it complete! Thanks Jo, for making our Anniversary trip so special, I could never have arranged it myself!

4 week trip - Tanzania Safari & South Africa Garden Route We feel so fortunate that we connected with Jo to put together our month long dream trip to Africa, first to Tanzania and then South Africa. She was so thorough and meticulous on every detail, listening carefully to what we wanted and curating a perfect itinerary that matched our requests and expectations. We had the best time and will be forever grateful for all her advice, recommendations and time that she invested to ensure everything was perfect. Have no doubt, you are in the best hands with Jo as your partner in travel.

It was a wonderful holiday. Thank you Jo! I've never travelled with such a feeling of reliability (you)! We felt like throughout our journey we weren't travelling alone. You and your business are a gem! Carol & Sadie went to Copenhagen & Stockholm.

We had an awesome time. The cities all lent themselves to exploring with kids of different ages. The itinerary was spot on for what we wanted. Thanks again for all your help - I'll be in touch about our next trip. Ian & 3 teenage sons went to Barcelona & Nice in August 24.

"Namibia was a fantastic adventure, excellently planned with absolutely no hitches and everything as you described it would be! We will definitely be in touch for ideas about our next exciting vacation with you.” Tracey & Alan went on honeymoon to Namibia in August 24

Thank you so much for all your help. It has been amazing, so much fun, lots to see and do. Great for our teenage kids, they loved all the activities in Bali. Absolutely loved Singapore! Would definitely stop there again. The hawker market you suggested was a real highlight. Will be in touch about next year!

‘The trip was epic! Carlos and Van, our two guides were fabulous - they showed us things that we wouldn’t have come across and were both very knowledgeable and personable. Thanks for all your help organising this trip Jo, it’s certainly one we won’t forget.’

Jo could not have made the planning and booking process for what I know will be our best trip ever any smoother. Her service has been professional and impeccable and September cannot come round any sooner. We will undoubtedly be using her service again.

This was the first time I have used someone else to book our family holiday and it won't be the last Jo's help and advice was invaluable giving the us confidence to explore a new destination and enjoy our trip. Louise & family visited Berlin in April.

We booked with Jo to go to Phuket, Thailand and it was the most incredible trip that we have ever been on. Jo took all of the stress out of the planning and arranged flights, transfers and accommodation. There was also a great payment plan offered and an easy to use app that contained all the information and documents that we needed for our trip. We will 100% be booking again with Jo next year!”

Great service, expert knowledge, commitment to go the extra mile and find a competitive package for what is a really exceptional holiday.

Excellent and friendly service on a complicated travel request - many thanks

Without exception the most pleasurable person I've dealt with sourcing my next holiday.

Jo has been BRILLIANT at finding a holiday for my husband and two daughters - managing to incorporate lots of different requirements seemingly effortlessly! (Near night life for them, near culture for us) and ending up with a very chic hotel. I would certainly recommend her - I wouldn't have found anything as good as she did. I'll definitely be using her for my next trips too!

Just returned from a fabulous holiday researched and organised by Jo Briody. It was fantastic to have all the organisation taken away - we were a group of 10 - and Jo did an amazing job of finding hotels that were just right for us. Both from a budget and preference point of view. Jo got us. We certainly couldn’t have got better prices by doing it ourselves and I doubt the hotels would have been as welcoming and responsive too. I couldn’t recommend Jo highly enough.

With a hectic life and a need for a complete relaxing getaway for the end of the year I called Jo. She is a great listener and with her creative background and insight into the kind of things we needed from a holiday she was able to put together the perfect package. I was so tired at the end of the year I didn’t want a huge time difference to cope with – we just needed to be looked after and some good weather. But Jo knew it wouldn’t be quite as simple as that and knew the right sort of hotel, the right kind of package and a fuss free booking. The Amavi in Paphos felt absolutely right for us. It is sophisticated and relaxing. It is beautifully designed, 5 star service and quality but there was no worries about the bill at the end as the package Jo put together made that so easy. I didn’t spend hours and hours on comparisons and internet searches – Jo just knew. We had a great Christmas away. The weather was ideal for us. Cyprus has such a lot to offer and, during this period of the year, its comfortable to tour and visit. Thanks Jo – we had a fabulous time.

We had a brilliant holiday to Brazil organised by Jo. She planned great tours and accommodation for our holiday and was available to answer any queries. We will definitely be using her for our future holidays.

My first experience of using Travel Counsellors and I gave Jo a remit for our upcoming trip to Rome and she understood it very quickly and came back with some amazing options that ticked so many boxes straight away. Her ability to understand our needs was impressive and filled me with confidence so we booked it and since I have recommended her to some friends and one of them has already booked a trip after also being impressed by the service.

We gave Jo a tricky brief (one that we have struggled to meet ourselves for a few years!)… We wanted a mix of sun, sea, city, relaxation, activities, culture and a hotel with a room configuration that suited our family of four (two teenage boys who definitely don’t want to share a bed or sleep on a pull-out anymore). The primary objective – happy/non-bored boys = happy relaxed parents! Jo came back with five different options for us to consider – some short haul and some long haul but all within budget and meeting the brief in different ways. It was great to have options to consider and to help us focus in on what was important to us as a family – plus ideas that we never would have come up with ourselves. One proposal jumped off the page though – a two centre trip to Miami and Mexico! 3 Nights in an Art Deco Hotel in South Beach and then onto Playa Mujeres, Cancun. Miami certainly ticked the ‘city’ box – shopping, sightseeing, food and beach. We even had an airboat tour of the everglades to see Alligators and turtles which was incredible. Dreams Playa Mujeres was the perfect hotel for us – all inclusive, loads of activities and food choices for the boys, the perfect two bedroom accommodation, multiple pools and private beach. The Yucatan Peninsula was an ideal location for a family with teenage boys! So much to do they – Boat trips to Islands, Natural Water Parks, Mayan ruins and adrenaline sports in the beautiful Cenotes. The boys (and us!) voted it one of the BEST holidays we’ve ever had – it ticked all the boxes for us all and we would definitely go back to Mexico as there is so much more to do there. Jo’s ideas, advise and attention to detail in terms of locations, flights, transfers, hotels and even room types was second to none. We are looking forward to our next adventure and can’t wait to see what ideas she comes up with for us next.

Once again Jo has been brilliant with finding the perfect holiday. Nothing is too much trouble. Jo gives great advice and she's so knowledgeable with everything travel related. I would highly recommend Jo.

Jo was fantastic to work with. She took time to understand our needs and budget, and find out the types of things we like to do in holiday. She came up with a great itinerary and responded quickly to our requested changes. Thanks Jo for all your help.

Jo was absolutely fantastic. From great suggestions, speed of responses, to any questions we had, to where to stay and finishing with a smooth booking! She understood everything we wanted for our family and more!! Thanks again!

Having used various holiday agents, with mixed outcomes, most fortunate to find Jo. Exceptional organisation- knowledgeable, adaptable , finger on the pulse - no hesitation in highly recommending . (Golfing holiday in Mauritius on this occasion but know her experience encompasses worldwide destinations)

I have just used Jo to book another 2 holidays. We live in Belfast so getting to many destinations requires flight transfers. I find this frustrating to organise but it was no bother to Jo. Her service really does take the hassle out of booking. We are off to Iceland...Reykjavik for a long weekend with flights, accommodation and car hire all organised and on my phone via the app. Then off to Marrakech later in the year with multiple flights organised, as well as transfers to and from the airport. She even managed to find us a veggie/veg riad to stay in. What a star????
