It's Nice To Meet You

As most people in travel will say, travel is a "real" passion of mine, when I'm not actually on holiday, experiencing all the sights, sounds and new and exciting food, I'm either thinking about my next holiday, planning my next holiday, or cajoling my hubby into choosing one with me! The next best thing to that though is providing my customers with the holiday of their dreams. There is nothing better than tailoring a holiday for someone who has been dreaming about their once in a lifetime experience, talking and walking them through it, so I get it just right, meticulously planning every detail for them, even things they've not thought of themselves, so it's trouble free and creating lifelong memories.

As your very own personal Travel Counsellor, I listen to everything you want from your holiday, I want to truly understand what you're looking for, be it a luxury escape, a safari experience, a gorgeous cruise, or simply a cottage in the country. I will handle every detail, making it seamless.

I've travelled extensively myself, as well as working overseas for many years, my absolute favourite place to go is The Greek Islands, I can recommend so many different islands based on the information you tell me, I also love Spain, The Caribbean, America, Thailand, to name just a few.

As a Travel Counsellor, we are globally recognised, we offer complete financial protection, from the moment you leave to when you return home I provide 24/7 support and you have the added support of real-time updates on your travel plans through your personalised App.

I don't watch the clock, I don't work 9-5pm, I'm available to suit your schedule, I will take all the stress away from you when planning your holiday so you can concentrate on enjoying it fully, because I truly care about your enjoyment, I understand the investment that goes into a holiday, and whilst the holiday I design for you might cost a little more, the value and peace of mind you receive is incomparable with any holiday off the shelf.

It would be my pleasure to help you embark on your next holiday adventure, so why not give me a try?

My customer stories

Sent by Gillian Turner

We stayed at the Seaside Lifestyle Resort and in Agia Pelagia, Crete, for 2 weeks in May of this year. It's a 5 star, adults only, all inclusive Resort. Architecturally, it's beautifully designed, and rendered in muted colours that blend aesthetically into the coastal hillside. This colour pallette continues into the interior decor, adding to the overall calm, relaxed atmosphere. We opted to upgrade to a room with a sea view and shared pool (between 7 rooms) and this worked really well. The view was fabulous, the pool was lovely, well maintained (every morning) and extremely clean, as was the large decking area it was on. Our room was a decent size with a comfortable 6 foot bed. Towels were supplied and changed daily; also a generous range of toiletries. Bathrobes were also supplied. In addition, a complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. There wasn't a mini bar, but we had a small fridge, which was topped up daily with 2 large bottles of water. Overall our room was spotlessly clean and this high standard was maintained throughout our stay, by the lovely housekeeping staff. We ate our meals in the spacious and well designed buffet style Veranda restaurant. My partner is vegetarian and I have to avoid gluten, but all dishes were clearly labelled and for breakfast there was a designated 'free from' section. The food itself was superb; an excellent variety of hot and cold dishes, beautifully cooked and presented. The waiting on staff were just lovely; pleasant, friendly and very efficient. In addition to the Veranda restaurant, which is the main eating area, there are also 3 Al la carte restaurants, which guests need to book in advance. The majority of drinks are included in the package, however, there are some brands that are chargeable eg Moet champagne. Rarely we revisit, but we would love to stay here again at some point in the not too distant future. Thank you for giving us a wonderful holiday??

Love the personal service. Julie found the perfect holiday & took the stress out of booking. Score 10/10

The process so far has been seamless, and Julie has offered a service that always goes a step further. Having dealt with other travel consultants, there have been a few issues that have made the process frustrating. So far with Travel Counsellors, this has not been the case, far from it. Thank you.

Julie Large made the process of booking our Honeymoon an absolute breeze. We gave her what I thought was far too specific a brief and within a couple of days, we had several options that fit what we wanted exactly. This has truly taken all the stress out of booking our Honeymoon and the constant communication and replies, at all hours of the day, makes us feel so looked after, I can tell Julie is truly invested in us and the holiday. I couldn't recommend Travel Counsellors enough and thank you again Julie from the bottom of my heart!

My Travel Counsellor, Julie Large is arranging a mini cruise in December. So far the booking process has been seamless with all the holiday itinerary and travel information stored in the Travel Counsellors app. All I need to do now is pack a suitcase and look forward to visiting a Xmas market or two. Thank you Julie for a hassle free booking experience.

Have booked a 3 night cruise with Julie for December and oh how easy it was to deal with her. She has taken care of all the booking up to now which has been so stress free for me. Would highly recommend you asking her about a place you wish to visit or placing a holiday with her. Very professional high service you will receive from this lovely lady. Why not ring her now to book your next trip.

Sent by Elizabeth Lowry

Julie is a lovely lady; a real pleasure to deal with. She is intelligent, competent and reliable. She listened to what we wanted and has put time and effort into making sure we got it within our budget. Julie herself has travelled widely and showed a real depth of knowledge when it came to choosing, booking and organising exactly what we wanted from a holiday. She very obviously takes a pride in her work and pleasure in ensuring she is helping us have a wonderful time. We currently have two holidays booked through Julie, safe in the knowledge we can rely on her to see to see to everything from start to finish. I highly recommend Julie and look forward to booking further holidays through her.

Road to Rhodes

11 February 2025

I think if you cut me in half I swear the Greek Flag runs through me. Throughout my working life as a Holiday Rep and Resort Manager working overseas, I was so lucky to work on many a Greek Island, and yes I do have a preference (but I’m keeping that one to myself!). So imagine how lucky I felt when my daughter and soon to be son in law – who incidentally also met on a Greek Island, told me they

Mini Cruise to Bustling Bruges & Rotterdam

If you've been thinking about biting the bullet and booking your first Cruise, but still can't make that call, I'd highly recommend taking one of the many mini cruises available to you, they really are an excellent taster of what to expect. Although I'd already been lucky enough to go on two Caribbean cruises with P&O, when I spotted a 4 night trip to Bruges & Rotterdam, I jumped at the chance. I
