It's Nice To Meet You

Whether you are planning a chic city break, family getaway, honeymoon escape or once in a lifetime adventure I am here to make the whole experience seamless.

I pride myself on offering genuine advice you can trust every time. No matter how big or small, I always manage your trip with the same attention to detail as I would my own.
Through the years I have built up a 'little black book' of hotel, supplier and airline connections, all my contacts are invaluable when offering my clients that extra VIP touch or requesting that room with the best view.

I have been a travel agent for over 20 years, but my real passion for travel started as a child. Before my five siblings and I were born, my parents travelled extensively. I can remember sitting for hours flicking through the enormous photo albums from their travels throughout Europe and on to Asia. Maybe it was the glamour of the 70s VW Camper set into the Italian Alps, or my parents in their matching Ray-Ban’s at the top of the Great Wall... either way, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to travel the world myself!

I joined the industry as an apprentice in a high street Thomas Cook store in Sussex. Within two years I was working in their City of London flagship store where I won a Customer Service Award.

After five years at Thomas Cook I took the leap into an independent leisure and business travel agency in Blackfriars - they were later acquired by an American travel management company. Here I ran the Luxury Leisure department, where I booked tailor-made leisure and business trips till I left five years later. During this time, I took the opportunity to work from the New York head office to expand on my global knowledge.
Prior to starting my business I worked in Roadshow, Events & Marketing roles across different financial services sectors in the City of London. As well as time spent at a boutique hotel specialist and luxury villa agent.

I can’t wait to help plan your next adventure, whether that’s a hopper flight to Dublin for business or a round the world cruise, you can rest assured you are 100% financially protected through Travel Counsellors Financial Trust and ATOL.

I am contactable 24/7 so please do pick up the phone or drop me a message to chat over ideas and inspiration for your next trip. I have extensive destination knowledge Worldwide, although consider my specialist areas as North America, Italy, the Greek Islands and most of Europe - having travelled extensively here.

“A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

Look forward to chatting to you soon!

In March 2020 I took the most incredible California roadtrip, I don't feel this trip ever really got the enthusiastic post it deserved... so here it is! Flying into San Francisco we drove north on the rugged oceanroad of Highway 1, over the Golden Gate Bridge and Sausalito up to Bodega Bay.

1.

The Art of Packing like a Pro

The Art of Packing like a Pro

For most of us, travelling has been the most exciting part of our summers since we were kids. Whether that meant all of you having a Home Alone-style headcount before clambering into the Sierra Estate for a road trip to France (as in my case), or your cab picking you up at the crack of dawn to head to the airport. Rest assured our parents had their routines down to a fine art. Holidays are somethi

In my thirteen years in the travel industry I’ve been lucky enough to travel to many spectacular places around the world. I’m so frequently asked where my favourite place in the world is.

We returned from our honeymoon yesterday and want to say how wonderful it all was. We had a fantastic time, in no small part thanks to Lara's help and all the planning she did. We loved Elephant Hills; all the hotels were really good too. It was very well organised and you really took the stress out of it all, letting us actually enjoy our honeymoon. We will keep you in mind for the future.

Lara is incredible - I’ve followed her on LinkedIn for years and was excited to reach out to her about our honeymoon.

Lara worked swiftly to put together an itinerary that put my mind to rest. I couldn't recommend her more. 10/10

Paul Harris

Lara was always available (even if I messaged beyond working hours which we did at times!). Super helpful in terms of hitting our brief and we were fussy! Loved all the communication and the docs on the app made things helpful. A really warm and friendly vibe which made 'working' together really lovely.

Denisha Naidoo

London

Lara, Thanks again so much for your help with our recent holiday. You made a nightmare situation so much easier to deal with as I didn’t have to spend time running around making the return flight changes and arrangements with hotel etc. All I had to do was chat to you on WhatsApp and you took care of the rest despite it being middle of the night on good Friday! This allowed us to concentrate on dealing with the hospital and looking after our daughter. Your help and advice whilst booking the holiday was already really valuable. However your help when the sh*t hit the fan out there was absolutely priceless! Thanks again so much Simon

Simon Johnstone

Kent

Thanks for all your help and organisation with booking our brilliant holiday. It was wonderful! We had an absolutely perfect time. Our first holiday in over two years, and I was strangely stressed about the whole thing in the lead up, expecting there to be many bumps in the road. The fact there were literally none, (and it came on the back of a pandemic!) just means it rocketed to number 1 in the ‘best family holiday’ league for me (and we have had a few that gave it a good run for its money).

M B

Esher, Surrey

Lara was an excellent help to us when booking our honeymoon. She was friendly, knowledgable and followed through on commitments made, with open communication throughout and always on hand to answer any questions. She completely took the stress out of sorting and booking our honeymoon and found us an amazing holiday - we can't wait to go. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lara to friends, family and colleagues. 10/10

Chloe Bailey

We have been booking our holidays with Lara at Travel Counsellors for many years now.

Michelle Butler

Lara is just THE best for making our lives easier when we want to get away - but more than that, when we had an emergency on our last holiday, she was there 24/7 for us, with the most amazing help and support. If you seek a personal travel agent, Lara is your answer.

Howard Bowden

Surrey

I’ve used Lara several times to organise family holidays and not only does she come up with lots of helpful options and ideas but she does it with a super friendly attitude. Nothing is too much trouble and she thinks about everything along the way. She really cares that you get the holiday you want at a price you are happy with. Would recommend without hesitation or reservation.

Its been a hectic 12 months, in particular at the start of 2019 and the job of narrowing down options for our family holiday kept getting knocked further down the to-do list, when lets face it, it should be at the top! I knew I had to do something different and I remembered I had read recommendations for Lara on LinkedIn and wondered if she might be able to help. Best move I’ve made in years! We had the most seamless, enjoyable, beautiful holiday ever and we have Lara to thank for that. From our first conversation, I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. She listened to my spec and hit the button pretty much straight away. Communications were concise and easy to digest. All the information I needed was easy to access and questions were answered before I needed to ask them, amendments swiftly made and without hassle. Every part of the process was simple. The Travel Counsellors APP is perfect. So clear and easy to use and there is no added premium for the delight of having Lara at the helm of the ship. She’s a dream and she’s there, every step of the way. Our welcome note at our first hotel was just a little but lovely touch. I really felt like I had my own personal travel agent – celebrity service in my opinion. Next trip is already booked – Krakow for the weekend in October. And now we’re looking at options for Summer 2020. Italy methinks, or maybe Vietnam, or France, wherever it is, near or far, by plane, train or automobile, I know she’ll be able to help. I cannot recommend Lara enough.

Lara put together an amazing holiday yet again! Managed to get the best positioned rooms in the hotel and seats on the plane. No detail is too small and all the hassle taken care of. Get in touch with Lara for all holidays - we will continue to use her services, a huge recommendation from my family and I.

Habas, France

Lara was excellent from start to finish. she listened to what we wanted and within the day had come back with a wide range of options that matched exactly what we were looking for. Once we discussed which was right she executed all of the plans seamlessly and got us a better price than we could find directly. Zero stress, brilliant holiday. 10/10

Lara Harris is amazing! She works so hard to get you exactly what you want from your holiday and takes into account all requirements, especially budget, in order to get you the very best! Lara goes above and beyond to assist with all of your queries and there is never a question for which she doesn’t know the answer. Lara organised a trip for my partner and I to the Maldives and even though this is a luxury holiday in and of itself, with her assistance our holiday exceeded our very high expectations. I will definitely be using Lara Harris at Travel Counsellors when I go away again next year!

Lara was fantastic dealing with my enquiry, even answering the phone to me when she was on annual leave (not something I would advocate her doing all the time of course). The service was brilliant from start to finish, and I would highly recommend.

Thanks for organising our lovely holiday. Everything went very smoothly; comfortable flight out on top deck, plus the same seats on our return, much appreciated & made quite a difference! Our lovely twin bedded room with sea view & balcony, we weren't expecting that! Very many thanks for your contribution to a lovely week

I have already recommended Lara Harris to quite a few people. I have never had such good service when booking a holiday and will definitely use Lara's services again. I have used Travel Counsellors before and was equally impressed by the level of service. Thank you.

I had the pleasure of working with Lara many years ago in travel. When I saw that she had set up doing this the timing could not have been better. I had been searching for my honeymoon to New York. I contacted Lara and within hours I was booking our honeymoon. I still work in travel myself but Lara has such famtastic knowledge I booked our dream trip with her. I can totally recommend her as she is honest, trustworthy accurate and above all determined. I know she found us a great deal and can't wait to go. Her aftercare is second to none. Thanks again Lara.

Amanda Gilbey

Lara is super friendly and responsive and successfully arranged my flights to and within Africa. We had several conversations to discuss options with follow-up emails to confirm details and prices. The thing I like most about Travel Counsellors is that you get the personal touch and the assurance that there is always help at hand. I would definitely recommend Lara.

Shirley Muthu

Lara made booking our holiday so much fun. Her knowledge, patience and attitude were impeccable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and she will be our first port of call for future trips. Thank you for all your hard work.
