The service I provide is personal to you. I want you to have the best and most amazing trip ever. I am really passionate about travel and customer care.
I work with people that are looking for a travel expert that will tailor a holiday to their own personal requirements, someone with experience and first hand knowledge, someone that understands their needs.
It is my job to ensure my clients have the best possible experience, from the initial enquiry to the holiday itself, right up until they have arrived back at their front door with a huge smile on their face and a whole lot of new memories made.
I have lived in Yateley in Hampshire for over twenty years with my husband and three children and have travelled extensively both before the children and after as a family. For our honeymoon we spend a year travelling around the world visiting Thailand, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand whilst in more recent times our passion for exploring taken us to some unusual destinations as well as several road trips to Canada and an amazing trip to Quebec. I have had some amazing unforgettable experiences as well as many hours of happy family memories.
Whatever it is you are looking for I would love to take the hassle out planning and organise it all for you.
As a business owner of many years I understand the value of customer service and this is the cornerstone of my business.
Please do not hesitate to call or email me with your requirements. I look forward to working with you to create an experience to remember.

I was introduced to Jo a couple of years ago and she has help organise 3 holidays for me.
Due to my work I’m not always particularly responsive but Jo is patient and always follows up ….so we eventually land on the holiday we are looking for ??
I love the fact that I know whatever happens before or during the trip Jo and the TC network will be there to turn to and resolve an issue – luckily not needed so far, but Jo always checks in during the trip to see how things are going which I think is lovely and gives her service a very personal touch.

The whole process from idea to booking could not have been simpler. I had a clue from the family that my wife wanted to go to Berlin, and after a chat with Jo over coffee, where I gave her my brief and my budget she organised everything.
Caroline and I had a very memorable time and I have now booked my next adventure with Jo for May.

With only a few weeks notice, and limited availability, Jo worked really hard to put together a holiday and an itinerary that everyone on the trip was happy with. Will definitely use Jo again to help us with our next holiday.

Jo just organised a holiday to Bali for me and my other half. Everything from information about getting through the airport quickly, to transfers and superb hotels/lodges/cabins. We had quick layovers, so quick we had to run to the 2nd flight on our return as our first leg was late landing, Our guide & private car for our trips in Ubud ran smoothly and were interesting & informative, the driver was also very gracious, opening doors and making sure we had water on every leg. We had 3 different locations and all were very different. Staying in Ubud for the first leg, in a huge terraced room overlooking paddy fields, with an infinity pool that included several different trips, we climbed a volcano at 4am in the morning had breakfast and brunch, visited temples & lakes which also included lunch in a tree top location, then we travelled by fast boat over to Gili (Lombok) staying on one of the islands in a luxury cabin on the other side of the island, with a trip that included snorkelling with turtles and visits to the other Gili islands, including lunch. With our final leg of the trip in Seminyak in a pool villa in a central location.

I’d been wanting to book a summer holiday for years, but circumstances had meant this couldn’t happen until this year.
As a busy professional and business owner finding the time to search the internet and find the perfect holiday left me leaving it to the last minute. And then I couldn’t find what I wanted, or I did, and it was extortionately priced.
About a month ago, over a coffee with Jo, I mentioned that I’d given up looking for a holiday and she opened her laptop and said, Let’s see what I can find for you.
Within 30 minutes Jo had provided me with 3 different options on the holiday I was looking for in Ibiza, within my budget, and around the time I wanted to go.
I couldn’t believe my luck in mentioning this to Jo that day.
We’ve just got back from having an absolute blast in Ibiza, the location on the island and the apartment was perfect for us. Jo also arranged for special assistance whilst travelling, as my daughter is autistic and gets easily overwhelmed in strange and noisy environments. The special assistance both at Stansted and Ibiza airport was amazing and my daughter now feels more confident about travelling.
We’ve made some amazing memories that will be talked about for a long time.
For any busy professional and business owner, I highly recommend speaking to Jo Talbot – Travel Counsellor and letting her find you the holiday you’ve always dreamed of.
Thank you so much Jo.

Incredible 2.5 week trip to Japan! We had an initial home consultation with Jo and then made tweaks via phone to finalise our ideal itinerary. We like active holidays and aim to see as much as possible so we visited Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Hiroshima and Miyajima Island. We also had a day trip to Osaka and Nara.
We received our travel pack ahead of the trip which had lots of great information including day by day plans, restaurant recommendations plus handy tips on phrases, forwarding luggage and lots more. We had private transfers which made a stress free start to the holiday. We asked for a private guide in each of the major cities to help orientate us to each place. All of the hotels were all fab. We visited Tokyo at the beginning and end of our trip and Jo organised staying in two different areas of the city which was brilliant.
Unfortunately our return flight was cancelled due to airline issues. We had a number to call and they dealt with everything including arranging an extra hotel and changing our airport transfers. It made everything stress free and really showed us the benefit of booking with Jo.
Japan is absolutely incredible, we highly recommend it to everyone. The country is beautiful with a mix of history, culture and modern delights. Everything is so clean, the people are respectful and everything runs efficiently. It is everything we hoped and more!
We are currently booking our next trip Jo!

Last June we decided to dip our toe into the world of Campervanning. This is always something we’ve wanted to try. The freedom of the open road, the world really is you’re oyster.
We only had a few days, so we took a flight to Glasgow and arranged to pick up our campervan just on the perimeter road. Within about forty minutes we were out of the bustle of Glasgow and heading towards Loch Lomond Na
