It's Nice To Meet You

Hello my name is Kirsty and I am your Travel Counsellor based in Rawdon, Leeds.

I have lived in Leeds since 1999 with my fiancé, Rich, who works for British Airways. I grew up in Grimsby, where my parents, sister and most of my family and friends still live.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in 2005 I worked for a newspaper, Teletext Company and a television holiday channel. I now have over 25 years travel experience. During this time I have travelled extensively throughout Europe, the Caribbean, America, Canada and Asia so can impart my first-hand knowledge and independent advice to ensure my customers get the right holiday each and every time.

I am passionate about travel and particularly cruising which is my specialist area, along with Caribbean holidays.

The customer is at the heart of everything I do. I pride myself on offering a high level, personal service. I love getting to know and going the extra mile for my clients & many become friends. The biggest compliment is the amount of repeat clients and the number of recommendations that I receive.

You can call me or email me from the comfort of your own home at a time that's convenient for you (including evenings and weekends). There is need to spend hours surfing the web or struggling to find a parking space on the high street - let me take the strain and hassle out of organising your next trip.

I look forward to hearing from you in the near future and helping you find your perfect holiday.

Kirsty goes to endless lengths to ensure she makes our holiday perfect. It's massively reassuring to know she's there for us if we need her before or during the holiday. A real gem!

Judy Ward

Would recommend the services offered by Travel Counsellors and in particular Kirsty Wingate for the advice given and the choice of destinations suggested, along with the very professional service tendered throughout the booking.

Amanda Shaw

Leeds

Kirsty has been helping me find my perfect holidays for the last five years. It is alway service with a smile down the telephone and nothing is too much trouble. I travel a lot with two children on my own and if I am in any doubt she just rings the hotel. It's just like having a good friend that knows everything about travelling - she takes all the stress out of booking and she always wants to know how it went!

Suzanne Hartop

Huddersfield

We first used Kirsty via a friend who suggested this way to book a holiday, since then (2 years ago) we have booked four holidays so far and a fifth is on its way! Kirsty has taken all the stress out of booking a holiday, everything is delivered to your door, nothing is too much trouble and the extra options Kirsty recommends really adds great value to the holidaying experience, turning a basic holiday into an adventure. Kirsty is always on hand to help on the end of a phone, even when we did have a little stutter on one of the holidays, Kirsty dealt with the hotel beautifully. I also challenge you to find the holiday at a better rate, especially with the service Kirsty gives everytime, you won't find a better way to enjoy your holiday!

Richard Pratt

Kirsty is available at any time day or night to arrange a tailor-made holiday which suits your every need. As a family we have requested many different additions to our holidays booked with Kirsty and she has always gone out of her way to arrange things efficiently and quickly. Kirsty always offers the best prices, has fantastic knowledge, does not over power you with hard sell and is professional. The Finney family would recommend her to arrange any trip to anywhere in the world at any time. Speak to you soon Kirsty!

Trudy Finney

Manchester

Kirsty has personally booked all our holidays for the past six years. She has organised anything from city breaks, to cheap weeks in the sun and our honeymoon to Hong Kong and Bali. The personal touch is what I love. From little things like filling in the details on the luggage tags she sends us with our tickets, to the Christmas card or the little postcard we find when we arrive home hoping we’ve had a nice holiday. I would and have recommended Kirsty and the wonderful job she does.

Lindsey Bysouth

Pudsey, Leeds

Kirsty books all our flights for us, checking prices and giving us options and also when needed, hotels and car hire. What a joy to simply ring her up, tell her what you want and wait for her to call you back (which she always does). Anyone who struggles to do it all themselves must be mad! She feels like a friend now and we always have a bit of a chat and we just know that we can trust her to sort out our sometimes quite complicated holiday arrangements. She's always cheery, efficient and professional - what more would you want?

Caroline Naylor

Wetherby

Kirsty is amazing and we wouldn't dream of booking a holiday without her. She replies promptly and never bothers with us changing our mind, which happens often, before deciding on the place to visit. Once decided, she understands our own personal needs and it is with peace of mind that we travel knowing if there is a problem Kirsty is only a phone call away. We have booked with her so often that we regard her as a friend

Barry and Lorna Glentworth

Grimsby

Kirsty Wingate is an amazing travel agent! She is totally professional, thorough, polite, reliable and extremely hardworking for our benefit! I was recommended to use Kirsty to book our honeymoon by a work colleague who swore she was the best and worth her weight in gold and how true he was. Kirsty offered us several deals on places to go for our very special honeymoon within our budget and needs Kirsty. I thoroughly reccommend Kirsty for any of your travel needs, where ever you may want to go!

Jason Yaxley

Had a fantastic holiday in Egypt last year courtesy of kirsty. She was fantastic and sorted everything taking the stress away from having to sort out holiday ourselves. Would highly recommend kirsty's travel counselling service to anyone who's thinking of booking a holiday. Will sure to use her services again in the future.

Adele Grant

Messingham

I have used Kirstys services on numerous occasions and have always been completely satisfied with both the holidays she has found for us and also the standard of information that she provides about the holidays. If there are any questions about the travel arrangements, resorts or hotels she will always try to find an answer for you. She is always polite and courteous as well. Service with a smile. I would recommend Kirsty to anyone and cannot praise her highly enough.

Patricia Fawcett

Yeadon, Leeds

We are absolutely over the moon with the service we received from Kirsty. Kirsty was reccommended to us by friends and we would have no qualms about telling friends how good the service is. We had a wonderful holiday and will certainly use Kirsty to book our next one. We can only say thank you Kirsty for making our holiday such a brilliant one. Thank you Kirsty Peter & Glenys Keeping

My family has been using Kirsty for a while, but this is our first holiday booked with Travel Counsellors. Kirsty is fast, very efficient, very helpful & nothing is too much trouble. Brillant customer service, & a lovely helpful person.

Sharon Dawson

The two holidays I booked with Kirsty went without a hitch. Every detail large and small was taken care of. Kirsty booked Hotels and special places to see while we travelled through Australia all were spot on. Our Sri Lanka trip also went smoothly. I was recommended to Kirsty by a friend who was also delighted with her service, I would certainly recommend her to my friends and family .

Joan Penty

Scarborough

I have always found Kirsty's help and advice invaluable when selecting my holiday, I am always supplied with a good selection of hotel accomodation to choose from. I have not been dissapointed yet. My requests are always met with interest and enthusiasm, and on my return it is pleasing to be contacted by Kirsty asking if I had an enjoyable break. I have used Kirsty on many occasions and will continue to do so.

Martin Davies

I have used Kirsty for around 8 years and found her to be very helpful. I travel a lot both for business and pleasure and its good to know you can write an email/make a call with a request or give dates ,times or budgets and Kirsty will just make it all fit. I have had a couple of instancies where that personal relationship has been hugly beneficial. Stuck in China because an airline had gone bust and getting home, and getting my booking in early before the rest of the airlines hiked the prices - it proably saved me 800GBP. I also had a coat sent back from the Maldives that i inadvertently left there without charge. I am happy to recommend Kirsty and have done so to other friends and colleagues. If you travel alot it is worth a fortune to have a good TA behind you.

Andy M

China

Kirsty is amazing! For my 50th birthday in January 2012, I gave her a basic brief on various places I wanted to go, what I wanted to do, the kind of holiday I expected and approximate figure to spend. She came back with some great ideas and even when I kept changing my mind, nothing was too much trouble; it's like having your own private travel agent at home. So when I'm sat on my deck on that fantastic Maldivian island, sipping champagne, I will raise a glass to Kirsty. I have already recommended her to my colleagues and friends alike and will certainly not hesitate in asking Kirsty to source my future holidays.

We were one of the families recently stranded for 5 nights by the volcano. Each day we received an update phone call, and text messages and emails from Kirsty to what was happening. This regular contact and the information we received from Kirsty made a huge difference during this time. We felt Kirsty provided excellent support when we most needed it. Many thanks.

Harriet Shields

Tadcaster

Kirsty has found and booked two superb holidays for me and has found exactly what I asked and was looking for. Nothing was too much trouble and every effort was made to find the right holiday for me. I would not hesitate to use her to book another holiday for me and will hopefully be calling on her services in the not too distant future.

I have been using Kirsty for holiday bookings for a few years now, and she's arranged a number of family holidays and short breaks, all to a very high standard. I find the service we get is excellent, and I have every confidence in leaving Kirsty to source the best possible deal, to my own personal requirements. I have also recommended her to many friends and business associates, who have all received an equally good service. Kirsty saves me time, and money, and I hope to continue to use her expertise for years to come.
