Thank you for your interest in Travel Counsellors, where we pride ourselves on offering our customers a level of personal service and attention to detail that simply can't be found on the high street. I've been in travel for 25 years now and just love sorting out holidays, wherever you choose to go.
I arrange holidays all over the world. Whether it's a package, cruise, flight only or a holiday in Europe, or even a little further afield, I can help.
I can arrange holidays anywhere in the world - USA, Australia, New Zealand, Far East and Europe. I can even obtain great prices with most major cruise companies. I especially love enquiries to those destinations which I can really get my teeth into.
I've been fortunate to travel extensively in my job so I can offer you lots of first-hand knowledge.
My favourite place I have been to is Guatemala. It was awesome really, and untouched by mass tourism. My next favourite is Borneo where I saw Orangutans in their natural environment and went white water rafting, which is definitely not for the fainthearted!
Other places I've enjoyed are Australia, the USA, Dubai, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Kenya, Mauritius and many European destinations. I've even had the chance to experience some great cruises.
The world is an amazing place and I am here to help you experience that in the hands of a travel agent who wants you to enjoy your holiday experience; even when you return.
I aim to beat any quote and will give you an impartial service which is second to none.
Please call me, I am here to help.

I have booked with confidence with Julie for 7 years now. She has arranged a variety of different holidays to different destinations for me and my family and groups of friends. All the advice on our travel arrangements and destinations have been accurate and her opinion as to what would be suitable is faultless. I wouldn't book to go abroad with any other travel agent.

The service with Julie Holden is always fantastic. I would have no hesitation in giving her name and number to anyone who wished to book a holiday. She is efficient, knowledgeable, very very enthusiastic and always a pleasure to deal with.

I have already recommended Julie to a friend and I will certainly go through Julie in the future especially for long haul flights. We are planning to take our grandaughters to Disney Florida in a couple of years when the youngest is a little older and will contact Julie to arrange all details for us. Excellent service, very helpful and friendly and feel you get that personal touch with Julie.

I've given Julie a 10 as she was fantastic. Julie had been recommended to me by my nephew, and needless to say I was more than happy with his recommendation. Julie was more than willing to take on my challenging itinerary - to be honest before contacting Julie I had tried several other companies and all were hesitant and unwilling to work on my itinerary as it didn't sit within the norm of the usual around the world trip. Julie really took my travel plans to heart and built a great rapport with me, she kept me fully informed at all times and made the whole booking process a pleasure.I'd like to say a big thankyou to her and hopefully will speak to her again for other trips

We have used Julie for years and have always found her to go the extra mile for us, she is always pleasent and very competant! She always gives us the very best advice on travel! Sometimes she may not be the cheapest on price but always tries her hardest to get as near as she can for you, and you always feel safer when you have booked through her as she will tell you exactly whats what and how it is! Whenever we are looking for a holiday Julie Holden is always our first thought and first point of call and I must say its always been a great pleasure in dealing with her to the point that we look on her as a dear friend and not just our travel agent! I always recommend her to my friends and customers alike and wouldn't hesitate to do so again - she's absolute star!

Its been some time since I made good use of the service Julie provides this is due to my circumstances and no reflection on Julie. Certainly the quality of my holiday to Australia was enhanced by the arrangements made by Julie and her colleagues and should I decide to embark on a similar type of holiday I would contact Julie without hesitation.

I have always found Julie to be very helpful and informative when tailoring a holiday to suit our needs. Both my wife and I have always had very good holidays with excellent accommodation. Prior to travelling, I always feel reassured with the knowledge given by Julie regarding the area we are travelling to, and the standard of our accomodation.

Thanks Julie for arranging our "holiday of a lifetime"to celebrate Lynda's 60th birthday. We enjoyed an amazing safari in the Serengetti, including a balloon flight. The beach holiday in Zanzibar was outstanding and the accommodation and food was first class.
Thank you

My friend and I, along with our 3 children, asked Julie to find a holiday for us that would be both relaxing for us as well as having activities for the children. Having booked her suggested holiday in Fuerteventura, we found that she had ticked every single box and more! It proved to be excellent value for money, the facilities and location were exactly as she described and from the moment we booked, to the time we left, nothing was too much trouble for Julie.
Julie's service was recommended to me and I in turn have recommended her to others. Take the hassle and worry out of organising and booking your holiday!

Thanks Julie for making everything easy when we have booked holidays with you.
We often don't have the time to check the details, despite having the internet at our finger tips!
It has always been reassuring knowing that you have checked them for us.

I rang Julie after she had organised my sons honeymoon so perfectly, I wanted to take all my family to Tenerife which meant organising for 8 adults, 3 children, and one, 4 month old baby. Julie thought of everything and set up a perfect holiday for all of us, thinking of things we would not have thought of. I cannot thank Julie enough for a brilliantly organised fortnight and would recommend her to anyone as a holiday professional and all round super person. I would ask her to plan a holiday for me without a second thought.

A big thank you on behalf of Sandra and I for all your hard work planning our trip to Oz and our daughters expedition to Fiji. We had a wonderful time from start to finish which in no small part is down to all your efforts. It was a tough itinerary for you to put together but everything from visas through to the multiple transfers, hotel accommodation and flights happened seamlessly. It’s not the first time, Julie, you’ve organised our travel arrangements both European and long haul and we will definitely be using you again and recommending you for all future holiday requirements!
