As a Travel Counsellor, I hand craft amazing trips and holidays that are tailored exactly to you and pride myself on unrivalled personal service at a time to suit you. No request is too small and no itinerary too complex. If it involves travel, I can help!
Before becoming a Travel Counsellor, I roamed the world for 25 years on business and leisure. I’ve had the good fortune to visit over 90 countries and bring my personal experience to every booking I make. If you have a destination in mind, there’s a good chance I’ve been there. Or, if you need help choosing, let me know what you love and we’ll create a custom itinerary together.
Some of my best own trips and recommendations include Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, safaris and Polar expeditions, plus I have a deep knowledge and interest in Asia and always enjoy travelling in this diverse and culturally rich part of the world. I also am an avid cruiser, having experienced most cruise lines from small luxury ship, expeditions, ocean and river cruising. As a Travel Counsellors Cruise Specialist, and one of Norwegian Cruise Lines Brand Ambassadors, you need look no further for expert cruise advice!
While our relationship will always be one-to-one, I’m backed by the global Travel Counsellors network — a world leading organisations of travel professionals. That means I can offer the widest range of experiences and ideas, with peace of mind your bookings are fully covered by our outstanding financial protection.
What’s the best holiday you have ever had, and why? Get in touch and I can get working on a trip that will certainly beat it!

Kerala - God's own country
The word Kerala derives from ‘kera’, meaning coconuts and ‘alam’ meaning land - so land of the coconuts! This slender coastal strip in the South is one of India’s most varied, beautiful and serene states. With a colonial history, beautiful green coastlines with pristine beaches, languid backwaters to explore, lush tea and spice plantations that amaze in the Western Ghats mountains, Kerala really h

Cambodia - where ancient and modern worlds collide to create an authentic adventure!
The Kingdom of Cambodia, a country filled with some of the friendliest people I’ve ever encountered, rich history, delicious food, a lively nightlife and remarkable value. Cambodia is a country still finding its way after the horrifying genocide that was carried out by the Khmer Rouge regime (led by Pol Pot) between 1975 and 1979, when around one quarter of the Cambodian population were killed.

Krakow – one of the best short breaks in Europe!
Earlier this month (March 2017), I took a four night trip to Krakow. I have visited Poland a few times before, but not Krakow itself. I have to say without doubt it's now one of my favourite cities in Europe, to which I will return, and a really amazing short break destination in so many ways – culture, history, gastronomy, architecture and museums. Krakow, on the banks of the Vistula River is

I have travelled to Vietnam a few times now, and am sold on this wonderful country, rich history, beautiful places, and great food and with everything from the amazing beaches to authentic experiences with the incredibly friendly and welcoming Vietnamese people.

Azamara Cruise - Nice to Rome, October 2013
In October 2013, I went on a seven day cruise on the Azamara Quest starting in Nice, and then to Monte Carlo, St Tropez, Propriano in Corsica, Amalfi, Sorrento and finished in Civitavecchia (Rome). This was the first cruise for me, and I had never really felt it was something for me or that really appealed. How wrong I was - I'm converted for life!

II was lucky enough to live in Berlin from Oct 2011 to Dec 2012, and want to share with you what a great place it is to visit, with no end of things to do - iconic sights, museums, great shopping, an exciting music scene and loads of history! Not many cities can claim to have been divided in two as Berlin was, until the 1990 reunification. This is one of the reasons why the city is so diverse a

When my partner and I wanted to book a holiday to the Maldives, our first visit, we had no idea just how many options we’d have to wade through to find what we wanted; adults only, all inclusive, over water villa, etc. We asked John to suggest some ideas for us and he found several for us to peruse until we finally decided. John listens so carefully and works diligently to find exactly what his customers are looking for. We have asked John to help on several occasions and he always delivers. Thank you John, we’re so looking forward to our dream trip of a lifetime!

We have used John to help book our vacations numerous times over the past few years. Not only has he come up with many alternative suggestions balancing excellence with cost when choosing a holiday he is always available at the end of the phone to help sort any problems arising before and during the holiday. His manner and professionalism is first class and myself, wife and co-traveller friends now regard John as a dear friend. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending John to friends and have already praised his service to others. A friend is currently seeking to engage with John with a view to using his services.

Have developed a trusting relationship with John and look forward to using his service in the future as the world hopefully returns to a new normal. The last couple of years must have been very difficult in the travel world but for us things were made so much easier by John as he took all of the strain to disentangle our significant travel plans at the start of the pandemic. Just recommend him to you-you will not find a better travel counsellor.

John Ryrie is an amazing Travel Counsellor. His first hand knowledge of travel and the range of destinations that he has visited is amazing. I have travelled extensively throughout my life and feel incredibly fortunate to have been introduced to John some years ago. The service he offers is far superior to any other agents I have used and his attention to detail is second to none. In the current times John’s expertise is even more valuable - I would urge anyone to use his services and I would certainly never travel unless it is booked through John and Travel Counsellors.

You were recommended to me by colleagues/friends and I normally only book with TUI. But, for next year I wanted something different that TUI couldn't offer and if I went with Kuoni or Citalia, they would charge me the earth. So, I thought I would give you a go so to speak. I have to say you were amazing! I gave you a brief, you came back with recommendations on flights, 3 hotels in 3 cities, two were perfect, wasn't feeling in with the 3rd hotel so when I went into more detail about what we wanted - you came up trumps with the final hotel. You are friendly, knowledgeable, fast, accommodating and want to get it right for your customers. Nothing is too much.Thank you John

John is one of the most flexible, accommodating, helpful and knowledgeable travel agents we have ever dealt with. For the first holiday we booked through John we had previously looked at places like Kuoni and Trail Finders, both of which were miles away from service we received from John. We can both safely say that we would not look to book holidays through anyone one else other than John in the future.

Your attention to detail was amazing – not only did you meet the brief, you actually checked us in and printed all the documents so all we had to do was rock up to the airport. The hotel was great with a fabulous boutique style, central location and an excellent breakfast. And the recommendations you made as to what to see were really helpful given we only had a long weekend. The most amazing though were the restaurant and bar recommendations – the meal at Saigon and More was one of the best I have ever had and The Green Door cocktail bar was a really something with its secrecy and fabulous cocktails. In an era of “life by internet”, it was really refreshing to do business with somebody else who values service and attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend your company to other individuals and businesses.

John arranged some very fluid flights and accommodation for us, keeping us informed at all stages. We were waiting for the go-ahead from the Icelandic Government to enter the country and attempt a very difficult rescue of a whale. John was able to make the transport side of things very easy. Allowing us to concentrate on the task in hand. I have always found John to be very capable and helpful, so knew he was the first point of contact in this situation.

John is the first travel consultant I have come across who 1) really knows about the resort you are travelling to 2) cares about ensuring your needs are met 3) is very cost conscious and 4) communicates effectively and in a timely manner. John comes highly recommended from me and I will certainly be recommending him to friends and family.

Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call.

And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
