I always recommend Julie Welfare when I’m talking to friends (or strangers !) about travel. Her warm and friendly manner coupled with her professionalism makes it stress free to book a trip.Infact Julie takes all of the stress away and works hard to find the best deals and the type of accommodation or location best suited to her clients.I can’t recommend her enough !

A first rate service from a team that leaves nothing to chance. The one to one relationship with your agent is second to none; it’s not just before you go, your agent is there throughout your holiday.

I found working with Julie very easy and got exactly what I was looking for.

Very good committed service throughout, providing sound advice and support to help us make decisions on our holiday. We will be using Julie again, I'm sure, for future holidays that involve working out and piecing together itineraries, as it's clear that she has a clear knowledge of what's involved and how to tailor a holiday around what's best for the customer.

Julie has booked several family holidays for me and each time Julie shows outstanding efficiency, professionalism and patience throughout. It is always a relief to know Julie is in charge of organising my holidays - I trust her implicitly and know she always comes back with the best and most suitable options tailored to our needs. Thank you Julie!

Fantastic personal service, whilst maintaining a high level of professionalism. Outstanding attention to detail. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I always use Julie and have just booked my 16th holiday with her. I recommend her to all my friends .

Julie is super helpful and patient I have complete confidence in Julie, and it is a pleasure to deal with her.

Without you Julie I would not be having holidays. Your time and caring is priceless.

I have used Julie Welfare to arrange our holidays on a number of occasions and have also received a first class professional service. I have no hesitation in recommending her services.

I recommend Julie to all my family, friends and clients. The service she provides is just wonderful and I love knowing she is at the end of the phone if I need to sort anything out while away. She is so knowledgeable and always goes the extra mile to find things out. I recently took my Mum abroad and was very worried about her mobility. Julie organised everything for us and it went seamlessly. Thank you for all your hard work Julie and here's to booking many more holidays with you!

Julie Welfare has been professional, helpful and friendly as always. We always highly recommend her to our friends and family. Thank you Julie

I have received an amazing service from Julie. Julie appreciated from the start how special this trip was to me and my daughter, and with Julie's outstanding expertise, our holiday has been the best ever!

One brief to Julie.......a holiday in Rome. One answer from Julie with four super hotels / flights and transfers. One answer from us selecting a great hotel and confirming flights etc. That's what TC is all about. Great service!

i have already recommended friends and family, as I have received such a good customer service and always have had an amazing holiday. I totally recommend Julie Welfare.

Julie gave excellent service. She was extremely good at getting my flights to Australia arranged on the dates I required. I was recommended by a friend to contact Julie and I will certainly do the same.

Julie is incredibly efficient and helpful - exactly what one wants from a travel consultant- and which is why we keep using her.

Fabulous professional personal service from Julie as usual! That's why we are returning customers.

An excellent service, and Julie was so helpful and so patient taking lots of time and trouble to find exactly what we wanted for our trip top Australia.

Excellent fast service as usual. Many thanks.

Julie has been helpful patient and informative. Excellent customer service despite my many questions.

Julie has been brilliant and was very accommodating with our constantly changing requests for our honeymoon. We are very happy with our trip that's been booked and have enjoyed all the previous ones that Julie's arranged.

Julie I feel like I have known you for years. Thank you for your efficiency and very friendly helpful service. You have taken away all my worries. Vera

Julie listened to our requirements and delivered exactly what we were looking for. It's a tricky itinerary and arranged at what is probably very short notice for such a long trip. I had been floundering, trying to make the arrangements myself and Julie took away all of the stress, Now I am very excited and looking forward to what is going to be the trip of a lifetime.

We used Julie to organise a family holiday of a lifetime and I would thoroughly recommend using her. Our holiday took us off the usual tourist trail in Zambia before going to Victoria Falls and then Safari in Namibia all of which Julie took in her stride and handled everything from flight transfers, hotel accommodation and even arranging contact details for a local taxi driver to ferry us around for a couple of days. The holiday involved 9 flights for 5 people and hotels in 3 locations which I imagine is hard enough to handle but to make matters worse we'd booked just before COVID arrived and caused us to cancel & rebook everything not once or twice but three times.. Julie was a godsend and handled everything for us, cancelling hotels & flights and arranging credit notes with hotels or airlines to ensure we didn't lose any of our original money and then rebooking it all for us again when the time was right. I'm sure our holiday would not have happened if Julie hadn't been there to arrange it all and keep it all on track. I'll certainly be recommending Julie to anyone who asks and we'll certainly be using her again.

Julie has been absolutely AMAZING I won’t be using anyone else if I go on another adventure She has planned a truly magical holiday for us with exactly what we wanted For me I give 10 stars

Julie has always been efficient, helpful and understanding of the sorts of holidays we were looking for and tailored them to suit. Julie is also very personable.

Julie is very conscientious and goes the extra mile to organise the perfect holiday. She is very friendly and bubbly.

Julie consistently works tirelessly to help with any of our enquiries and in particular the last two years has provided many quotes without any coming to fruition given the Covid pandemic. She is always friendly and helpful. I have already recommended her to several friends who will ask for her help in the future when travelling becomes easier.

Always excellent service, even in these troubling times

I would not hesitate to recommend Julie nothing is too much trouble and she always provides us with excellent options and a high standard of service.

Not for the first time we turned to Julie to plan our trip. And not for the first time we were completely satisfied with her excellent service. Our trip to Viet Nam was wonderful; all details were thoughtfully covered. The planning, the hotels, the guides, the people, the day-trips, the history, the scenery, the food, the beer, the beach, the hotels, the internal flights, the cruise, the river trips and everything else will stay in our memories for a very long time. Specifically, Julie took the time to understand what the whole family was looking for. The result was a bespoke service that reflected our family's personalities. Julie's patience and accessibility cannot be overstated. The fickled-nature of my family's decision-making did not get in the way of Julie's professional yet very friendly approach. The result was a trip of a life-time. Thank you...

Julie Welfare has always come up trumps with the holidays I have asked for. All the holidays that she has booked for me have been in an amazing location and lovely accommodation. I have recommended her to my daughter who got Julie to organise her honeymoon, as well as mine too. Julie goes above and beyond to provide me with the best holiday for my budget.

Julie is amazing! I can't recommend her enough. The service she offers is literally the best I have ever had from a travel company, everything you could wish and no detail left to chance.

Julie Welfare was extremely helpful and patient organizing a last minute journey to Norway for Christmas for us. Her response to my requests was very impressive and reassuring and she continued to keep n touch with me throughout the whole process giving me the confidence that I had chosen the right agent. I would be happy to recommend Julie.

What can we say, simply wow what a trip! You chose so well for us, feels like you know us better than we do. The safari was unbelievable, the team at Neidle were amazing, attentive, thoughtful, welcoming and to see all of the animals was truly spectacular. Byrond was such a fantastic guide so knowledgeable and fun. John the chef has now ruined all food for us as he was exceptional. Dominique and John were fantastic hosts and really made us feel instantly welcome and all other staff were fantastic. Trou Aux Biches was an amazing end to this trip again the staff really made feel so at home as well as the beautiful surroundings (we got upgraded to an outside shower room which was gorgeous). Honestly best trip we’ve ever been on thank you so much! We loved it so much we are looking at 2019 holidays tomorrow so will be back in touch. Thank you so much from both of us for this magical trip .

Julie Welfare has successfully arranged overseas conferences for my firm Rowberry Morris many times. This year's in New York was no different. Julie’s attention to detail meant that the whole group had an extremely pleasant time. Julie helped us select a Hotel giving us a number of hotel options from which we chose. She explained the process of how to obtain Estes from the US Embassy and reminded everyone to get their Estas. She arranged the transfers to and from the airport to the hotel and booked us on an evening boat trip plus a tour of NewYork. Julie’s organisation of the trip was as always excellent. I have no hesitation in recommending her to others who require help booking holidays and trips. Thank you Julie.

We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you again for organising such an incredible honeymoon trip for us in South Africa. It was the most amazing trip and we have so many wonderful memories that we will treasure forever. All the accommodation was fantastic - we instantly felt at home at each location which was wonderful. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and couldn't have done any more for us. What we also loved about the trip was that each destination almost felt like we had gone to a different country - they were all so different and exciting. We have hundreds and hundreds of photos and have enjoyed sharing them with family and friends re-living the trip over the festive period. It’s such a fantastic service!! Booking holidays can be so stressful and that was completely taken away from us. We could never have organised such an amazing trip without your help so we are hugely grateful to you - thank you!! We will definitely be in contact again for future holidays!

Yours is a service which provides complete reassurance. It is a fact that taking a holiday away from work is often a most stressful time. You avoid this stress compounding by taking away the stress from the holiday process - well done! Specifically, on our recent holiday to visit my daughter, you reassured us that adverse weather conditions would not affect our plans, contrary to what some were reporting. Your service meets any concerns that we had head on. We have used you a lot in the past and foresee no change in that arrangement. Many thanks - a job well done!

Thank you for arranging our trip to Texas and Arizona in April. This is the third time we have used your services. I find your speedy response with quotations and replies to queries first class. We are planning more trips this year and will have no hesitation in using your services again. We think you provide a wonderful service and would wholly recommend you to friends, family and business associates.

Thank you Julie for arranging a wonderful weekend break for Liz and I in Valencia. Your advice and recommendations were totally appropriate. We are both very busy and found your support in arranging this trip invaluable. We will of course be using your excellent services again.

Thank you for organising what turned out to be an amazing ski trip for myself and some friends earlier this year. Although we moved the goal posts on more than one occasion, each time you were able to come up with excellent options for the group to choose from very quickly, which is always important when booking a ski trip. Many thanks for your highly professional service. I would happily recommend you to anyone looking to book a holiday in the future.

I have used Julie for a few years now to book our holidays and she even booked our honeymoon which was amazing. The service from Julie is always first rate, it’s the little personal touches that set her head and shoulders above her competition. On our most recent holiday, for the first time ever, we had the bad fortune of our villa being broken into. This was clearly quite a distressing time for my family but Julie was incredibly supportive. We called her from the holiday at 5.30pm on a Friday evening, and within an hour she had managed to re-arrange our flights, our car hire and our UK car collection so that we could come home THAT evening. It was amazing, she truly is incredible. It is true what they say that you will only learn the true value of someone’s service when something goes wrong. I could not recommend Julie highly enough.

Julie is the best travel agent I have dealt with, friendly, knowledgable and she always listens to your request. Really makes you feel like you can rely on her to arrange exactly what you want. I have never been disappointed in the places I have visited that Julie arranged.

We made a last minute decision to go to Madrid and Julie was simply amazing in the service she provided! She did all the research on a Saturday afternoon and the level of detail covered every part of the trip but it was the added extras that made all the difference. Julie contacted the hotels personally to make sure they met our individual requirements. We received a great run down of how to get around, recommended restaurants and attractions, and an excellent document pack with even more information. Julie clearly enjoys her work. An absolute pleasure to deal with, providing a truly personal service. I would recommend anyone who wants to take the hassle out of a holiday to contact Julie. You're in really safe hands.

A friend of mine recommended I get in touch with Travel Counsellor Julie Welfare because they were delighted with her service. Julie did not disappoint and was fabulously tenacious and patient in dealing with my complex requests. She really made a point of understanding what I needed and offered numerous well informed options. She was knowledgeable and worked with me relentlessly to ensure the right holidays were secured. She is very personable and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and use her again myself. Thank you.

The whole process of booking a short city break to Rome has been effortless thanks to Julie. Julie has been fantastic! I will never again bother with endless hours on the internet myself, but will call Julie with a wish list and let her, as the expert take over. I am recommending Julie all of the time and will be back to Travel Counsellors for sure.

Thank you so much for organising such a lovely holiday for us! The way you arranged everything so meticulously made travelling there and back, and the whole holiday completly stress free. They say it's the small things that make a big difference. Well your small touches like the travel guide booklet, filled in name tags for our luggage, the Prosecco in our room ten minutes after arriving and the "Welcome Home" card waiting for us when we got back made us feel very special. We will definitely be using your services next time and will be recommending you to our friends, family and colleagues.

Well, what can I say other than thank you! What a fantastic time we all had, everything was so well organised from the moment we were met at the airport to our journey home. We saw everything with the exception of a leopard! We had the best driver who took us to places on the Mara I don't think others went to, it was all so exciting. Again thank you for all your help and organisation.

A truly outstanding holiday. Once again Julie has organised a fabulous holiday, from the plane seating arrangements to a memorable renewal of our vowels. The excursions such as the catamaran, educated tour amongst the St Lucian plantation, Rodney bay shopping trip, van trip along the famous mountain and the piping hot mud bath. We also had a front seat view of the waterfalls and an opportunity to stand in the flowing waterfall streams. Splendid choice of food with the selection of restaurants. Clean pools with the swim up bar and hot tub which was a added bonus. We will definitely use Julie's services in the near future.

thank you for the magnificent job you did in organising our honeymoon. We both had a fantastic time in Hong Kong and Bali and everything went perfectly. We really appreciated all the little details you included, from checking us in on the departure and return to the name tags already written out for our luggage. We were pleasantly surprised you arranged usage for us in the terminal lounge, we almost blagged our way into the Cathay Pacific first and business class lounge by mistake as we thought it was the No 1 lounge! We found your recommendations for all three hotels, The Mira in Hong Kong, The Alila and The Oberoi in Bali to be absolutely first rate and cannot be faulted. The staff were unbelievably attentive, the service excellent and the food superb. We loved the little touches in the rooms from the petals on the bed, the complementary gifts (Susan loves The Oberoi bear!) to the birthday cake and card on our final night for my birthday. The staff made us feel very special and made the whole experience so memorable. We would also like to offer praise to Kuoni and Asian Trails for making us feel so welcome. The representatives were very friendly and informative. Both companies were punctual and extremely helpful. The only disappointment was having to go home!! Susan and I both agree that this is the best holiday we have ever had. We would without hesitation recommend you and your company to any of our family and friends and we look forward to booking up another holiday again with you in the future.

Dear Julie, I just wanted to thank you for all of your fantastic hard work organising our recent trip to Hong-Kong, Australia & Bali – we found your service to be exceptional and you created us a fantastic holiday package that we won’t be forgetting in a hurry! From pre-printing out our travel documents, to checking us in for our flights in advance, you made sure that every last detail was taken care of – right down to ensuring all of our numerous luggage tags were pre-filled-out and having a post-card waiting for us on our doorstep when we returned! (Certainly a far better service than we’d have been likely to have received from the larger nationwide travel agents!). You were always on hand to help us if we had any problems / queries, and we cannot thank you enough for helping to create a truly amazing holiday! We’ll certainly be using you again for our honeymoon, and have no hesitation in recommending you in the future Kind regards, Chris Denny

First of all, thank you so much for your exemplary service! We've had a wonderful holiday in Italy, but aside from that, you made the whole booking process, including car hire, ticketing and airport transfers an absolute breeze. Everything worked out perfectly; you even hand-delivered all of the documentation yourself. You provided a perfectly detailed itinerary and really useful local guides and sightseeing tips. Then, to top it all off, when we returned, we found a personal hand written post card from you to welcome us back home! I've never had service like that from anyone!

I just wanted to put in writing how much we enjoyed our honeymoon - it really was perfect and to thank you for all your help and expertise. I was very surprised by all the added extras which made for exceptional service and led to really easy 'jet-setting' travel, which I wasn't used to. Something as simple as the really nicely bound travel documents and wallet, which made for extremely easy and handy reference, (personally hand delivered!) right through to the honeymoon card, flip-flops, pre-completed luggage tags, check-in and the welcome home card - all excellent touches!....

I would like to put on record the superb service that we received in relation to my New Years holiday to Marrakech. Your attention to detail is fantastic, from sending us pre-filled out luggage tags to arranging little extras with the accommodation.Nothing was too much trouble. My wife and I were 100% happy with every aspect of our trip, and as fairly seasoned travellers we know what we like and what we don't! It goes without saying that we will be using your services again very soon and also recommending you to all of our friends, colleagues and contacts. Thank you again for an absolutely fabulous trip.

Thank you for your invaluable help in so many ways, before and during this trip to make it so memorable. All the arrangements went very smoothly and the hotels were lovely especially Spier and the Game Reserve. Thank you so much for checking us in everywhere - that was a great help especially the last flight home which we nearly missed as we got stuck in traffic on the motorway!! Having you on the end of a phone or conversing by email was a great comfort so it’s a really big thank you from all of us!

I was planning a trip to Australia last year.Julie immediately began to advise me on the best places to see and the best things to do. I was particularly grateful to Julie when one of my flights was cancelled. Had I been responsible for my own arrangements it would have been a nightmare. Julie goes way beyond the call of duty to ensure your travel experience is of the highest quality.

Thank you so much for all your help with booking our honeymoon in the Maldives, we had a fantastic time. The trips you organised for us were great and the whole trip went smoothly. You took all the stress out of booking the honeymoon, which meant we could just concentrate on the wedding and relaxing on the beach! I will definitely be in touch with you again when we want to book our next holiday and have already recommended you to all my friends.

I decided to take a trip to Canada at short notice, about a week and a half prior to my departure date. I have never been to Canada before and have never travelled alone as an adult and therefore responsible for all arrangements, outside of the EU. I contacted Julie and asked if she could help me to arrange this trip, just a week, popping over to Canada? Julie was amazing. She managed to book non-stop flights on the days that I had requested, at a more than reasonable price, organise all the paperwork, she even checked me in for my flight and reminded me about weight restrictions for my baggage! At work one morning I received a card from her, wishing me well on my trip, what a lovely touch. On my return, she again booked me in and again I received a card upon my return to the UK welcoming me home. What service and all with a smile and a “don’t worry”. I cannot recommend Julie highly enough. I had no worries about my travel arrangements which made the trip to Canada stress less and so enjoyable. Julie, THANK YOU!

I recently decided on a trip to Western Australia to include overnights in Sydney, Singapore and Hong Kong, plus a tour of New Zealand. I am definitely not a seasoned traveller and I was somewhat overwhelmed at the prospect of booking and co-ordinating a number of connecting flights along with decent accommodation. Julie’s knowledge of the region is second to none and she simply asked me when and where I wanted to go and what I would like to do whilst there, even suggesting some fantastic tours and excursions. I now have an adventure of a lifetime coming up in the near future and am confident in the knowledge that should anything go array, Travel Counsellors will be on hand throughout to rectify. Julie has worked out and planned every detail of my trip and I am both extremely grateful and very much relieved that all arrangements are in place. I would not hesitate in recommending Julie Welfare to my friends, family and colleagues.

Hi Julie Thank you for organising our holiday to Sardinia so well! The brief we gave you – 6 adults, small friendly hotel, great food, pool & beach, hire cars, wifi for work and close to a town would have stumped most travel agents, but you managed to find us a holiday that ticked all the boxes and some extra ones too! As you had already checked us in at Gatwick, all we had to do was drop off the luggage and head for the private airport lounge – what a great start to a holiday! The hire cars were waiting for us at Olbia and the hotel was only 30 minutes away. As it was small, checking in was quick and painless and we were in the pool or strolling on the private beach in no time at all. The hotel was very clean with friendly staff and the food was perfect catering for all our different tastes. The staff knew us by our names and went out of their way to look after us. They told us where to visit, nice beaches, affordable restaurants and what markets were worth visiting. However, we wouldn’t have known about this gem if it hadn’t been for you, and that, along with your professionalism resulted in a perfect holiday for us all. Many thanks Julie, greatly appreciated – roll on Summer 2011! Kind regards Theresa, Maurice, Holly, Sophie, Nathan and Stephen

I would not hesitate to recommend Julie to anyone planning a trip of any kind, whether it be UK or overseas, for business or pleasure. I have never before experienced such a personal service delivered at a time to suit me from a travel professional before, consequently would never now consider using anyone else. Julie rescued me from the hours it was taking me to try and find a UK hotel for a long weekend. I spent countless hours on the internet trying to find the ‘best deal’ to no avail so was over the moon to find that Julie could find me exactly what I needed at a better price than I could find it online myself. Julie is, without doubt, the very best travel professional I have ever dealt with.

We required something a bit special, a treat for the family somewhere in Europe. 15 of us would travel 6 being the grandchildren, ages ranging from 9 down to 1. We wanted the holiday to be high quality but relaxed enough to make it easy with the children. Too much for me but Julie found just the right place and flights. The holiday was superb a great time had by all...Julie will get another call...

I just wanted to bring to your attention to the fantastic job Julie did organising our honeymoon for us. Julie provided us with a lot of sound advice and helped us to narrow our options down to the best location. She also went over and above our expectations throughout the planning, always keeping us informed of the tricky situation with BA and helping us secure some good seats on the flight out.

Thank you for all your help, we love the Gift Registry service and the lovely box. I have recommended you to lots of people as although there are lots of companies that do this sort of thing, we really think yours is the best and you have been brilliant. Thanks again so much .
