It's Nice To Meet You
Tailor-made worldwide travel, personalised for you.
You deserve a great holiday! That's what you'll get!
My name is Julia. I'm a travel professional based in Alfreton, Derbyshire but I cover the whole of the UK.
Our demanding lifestyle means researching and booking the right holiday can be a time consuming chore. As your Travel Counsellor I can offer a much simpler way to achieve your perfect holiday or travel arrangement, freeing up your time to concentrate on other things. Every detail is taken care of by me. As I'm home based, I'm available at a time to suit you, including evenings and weekends.
It's very important to me as a Travel Counsellor to provide the highest level of personal service and tailored travel advice. I have over 25 years' experience of working in customer service and can offer friendly, professional and honest advice you can trust. It could be an escape to the sun, a dream wedding or honeymoon, a short city break or a cruise. I can build the right holiday at a competitive price. Booking online or with an high street store simply can't offer you this level of service.
I even call the hotel manager the day before departure, ensuring you receive a personal and VIP welcome - maybe even an upgrade! All with the peace of mind that everything you book with me is 100% financially protected.
I have been fortunate to visit some amazing places around the world including Malaysia, and the Caribbean. I have visited many of the European holiday destinations with my family. One of my favourite destinations is Italy, which has included visits to Venice, Naples and the Isle of Capri. Making my customers dream holiday a reality - I can't think of anything I'd rather do!
I just hope my love for travel is infectious!
Travel Counsellors has no ties to any one supplier, so you can be sure of completely impartial and honest advice. I can book with over 70,000 travel suppliers and over 2,000 direct suppliers around the world, cutting out the middle man to save you money. I have shared knowledge of 1,600 travel professionals in eight countries and a team of over 300 at head office to support me, who I can call upon for their expertise on destinations or any aspect of your travel itinerary.
So what are you waiting for? Don't be too busy making a living that you forget to enjoy a life!
Get in touch to discuss your future travel plans - I'd love to hear from you!
