I’m an independent Travel Counsellor living in Brackley with my husband and son.
You may be wondering why book with Julia? As a travel expert with over 30 years experience in the travel industry and 4 years as a Travel Counsellor, I have gained a wealth of knowledge. I will provide you with a personal and stress-free service from start to finish. I put my customer at the centre of everything I do and nothing is too much trouble. I can make your dreams a reality and I know that attention to detail can make the difference between a good holiday and a fantastic one.
Over the years I have been to fortunate to visit many wonderful destinations throughout the UK, across Europe, North America, the Caribbean and the Far East. This knowledge, along with all the customer feedback and I have been given, enables me to give you the best destination advice. I can help with every type of travel: from packages to bespoke itineraries, flights and cruise, hotels and ferries. Whatever your plans, I can help.
I believe in good old fashioned customer care, that you simply can't get if you book on line.
I believe in building strong and trusted relations with my customers.
I believe in fully understanding my customers needs so that I can offer the best holiday to suit you. I would never recommend a holiday that I would not feel happy booking for me and my family.
I am available when you need me, often when most agents are closed. I can be flexible about meeting up too. There's nothing I like more than to chat about travel plans over a coffee.
You also have piece of mind knowing that everything booked with me is covered by our unique travel trust; your money is 100% safe.
So when you are thinking about your next trip, remember, with me it's a relationship not a transaction.
Hope to hear from you soon.

As ever, Julia is always very helpful and has time for you. Nothing is ever to much trouble for Julia - to be honest I would not look anywhere else to book a holiday and I know that the service Julia gives would never be matched.

Julia has now booked and managed several holidays for us. Her attention to detail is fantastic and she keeps us fully informed of anything we need to do (e.g. visas, travel locator forms) well in advance. We will continue to use her services for holiday bookings and have no hesitation in recommending her.
