It's Nice To Meet You
Hello my name is Laraine Drage. I am a Gold Travel Counsellor based in Earls Barton.
Gold status was awarded to me for all the hard work that I put into my job as a result of a continued high level of service that I offer and sales that I have achieved.
I have worked in the travel industry for over 43 years, both in retail and business travel and have been fortunate enough during this time to travel the world.
With the latest technology and superb back office support I have access to all tour operators with good negotiating power to obtain some great deals. So, whether it’s a weekend city break or tailor made package, winter sports or summer sun, business trip or luxury cruise, I offer professional, experienced and impartial advice to find the right deal for you. I can also offer a full range of supporting services such as car parking, car hire, insurance, and excursions. I am generally available seven days a week, including evenings, to discuss any travel arrangements you may be considering.
100% financial protection is provided on each and every booking - I know how important it is to book with someone you trust and know your money is safe from websites that go bust!
I look forward to your call.

I met Laraine whilst she was arranging a dream holiday for my boss at the time. Laraine came to his home, listened to what he wanted, took all the stress away and organised a perfect holiday for him. He was over the moon with the holiday and the service he received from Laraine/TC
Around the same time, my partner and I were planning to take a once in a lifetime, dream trip to America in March 2020. Neither of us had been to the USA before and we were nervous to organise it ourselves but also nervous about finding a good company to do it for us. Once I had met Laraine, I did not hesitate to ask her for help.
From start to end, including through the pandemic, Laraine has been AMAZING! We have no complaints/constructive feedback at all in any way - she has always come back to us quickly, stayed in contact, explained everything thoroughly and even when very busy helping people stranded at the start of the pandemic, she still made time to update us about our booking.
We cannot recommend Laraine/TC highly enough! Thank you so much, we will definitely be back to book our holidays with you in future!

Laraine was recommended to me when I wanted to take my granddaughter to visit my daughter in Sydney Australia in 2011. We wanted to fly direct to Sydney but stop over in Singapore on the return trip.
Laraine organised everything including flights and hotels. I was rather apprehensive travelling with my granddaughter but I need not have worried: everything went like clockwork. Our seats were brilliant (only economy class), the hotel in Singapore was very luxurious (at a moderate price). Transport to and from the airport was brilliant. Laraine was so easy to work with she seemed to know exactly what I required. That’s why when I wanted a holiday this year I contacted Laraine and within 24 hours everything was organised and booked – it’s that simple with Laraine.
I went on to recommend Laraine myself and now know that she can arrange anything from first class travel to Australia (for an elderly member of my family) to a fun holiday for my niece (in her early twenties).
I can thoroughly recommend Laraine for whatever travel is required. Her knowledge and professionalism is second to none but more importantly she has that special way to make your travel seem the most important job to her whatever and wherever it is.

Laraine has been booking our holidays for a number of years now, ranging from weekends away to three centre Caribbean holidays. She has always provided a friendly professional service and her ‘nothing is too much trouble’ approach is so welcoming from finding a holiday where she will give you sound advice based on many years experience in the travel industry, through to support when you’re away.
I have recommended Laraine to a number of friends who also benefit from the excellent service she provides. Our holidays are completed when Laraine contacts us when we’re arrive back home to ensure that everything went ok and to provide feedback on the good aspects as well as what may not have gone so well.
Thank you for all the time and effort you put into making our holidays as perfect as they can be.
