Laura Bolt
It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, and a very warm welcome.
I’m Laura Bolt, a Travel Counsellor based in York. If you're looking to take the hassle away from planning your next getaway, with a personal service and added security of full financial protection then look no further.
As a local travel expert, I’ve helped many families, groups of friends and couples in York and the surrounding area create unforgettable travel experiences.
With over 6 years as a Travel Counsellor and 20 years in the travel industry, including time as cabin crew exploring destinations like Canada, the Maldives, and Kenya, I bring a wealth of knowledge to planning your perfect trip. Customer service is so important to me and I always want to make sure I get it right for my clients by listening to exactly what they want from their holiday.
I specialise in tailor made itineraries, although my experience covers all types of holidays and business trips.
Aside from travel I love spending time with my family and friends. I have two daughters who keep me super busy, and when I get some spare time I love to bake, home DIY projects, getting outdoors walking and gardening.
Let’s start planning your next adventure, I look forward to hearing from you! x

We have used Laura on a number of occasions now and wouldn't dream of using any other service now. Her expert advise and knowledge is amazing and nothing is too much trouble which has resulted in two amazing holidays to date with hopefully more to come. She makes booking and finding the perfect package very easy and affordable.

Laura listened to my ideas but then went beyond, considering wider (and in the end) better options for us.

Laura has been absolutely fantastic at taking the time to understand our specific requirements, sourcing a holiday which I wouldn’t have found and nailing down any individual details with the hotel/resort. Laura will now be our ‘go to’ travel agent for all future holidays.

I have already recommended Laura and will continue to do so. I will also be using Laura for my travel requirements going forward. Laura provided an extremely personal service and made the process of booking our holiday pain free and enjoyable. Communication throughout was professional and prompt, which was helpful as we were indecisive about the detail of our holiday. Laura listened to our requirements and offered information & advice as well as suitable alternatives, which fitted our criteria and importantly our budget. It was great that I could confidently book our holiday around my very busy work schedule, we were able to email Laura and speak on the telephone with the booking completed and confirmation emailed at 9pm at night! Really looking forward to our break now and many more through Laura. Thank you.

We couldn’t be more delighted with the service we received from Laura when booking our honeymoon to St Lucia. Laura went above and beyond to ensure that every little detail was taken care of and we are now so excited to have the honeymoon of our dreams! We can’t recommend Laura highly enough and we couldn’t have done it without her!! X

Where to ski this December
10 September 2024
My top 3 ski resorts for December skiing The ski season in Europe generally starts early December, but if you are thinking about getting away this December, it’s best to take some time to consider which resort you choose to give you the best opportunity for great snow conditions. I’ve been lucky enough to ski since I was in my teens (not that I’ve really got much better over the years!) Howeve
Why Goa should be your next winter destination

Why Goa should be your next winter escape. It's not a destination I get regular enquiries for, unlike the usual suspects of Thailand, Dubai, Mexico and the Canaries for winter sun, but if you’re dreaming of a perfect beach holiday with some culture and adventure. Goa is the place for you. Goa offers a unique blend of beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, rich heritage and a laid back vibe suitab
The Landings Resort and Spa, Saint Lucia
25 October 2022
This year I went to St Lucia for my family holiday. With two ten year olds and a one year old in tow, I was dubious about taking a lengthy flight, but it was well worth it. We travelled with British Airways, and I couldn’t fault them. We were able to pre book bulkhead seats together, which meant we had use of the baby cot and plenty of space. The crew were fabulous, really polite and helpful, the
What is like travelling abroad now?
23 September 2020
Like many others who had to either cancel, postpone, or change their summer holiday this year, I was faced with cancelling our family holiday to Mallorca to avoid a 14-day quarantine when returning home, or change destination. Thoughts going through my mind at the time…… • Would it be the same experience when we were there? • Would we feel safe? • Are we risking being told halfway through the ho
City break and skiing weekend in one
07 January 2020
If you’re a food, culture and ski lover like me then I can highly recommend a weekend break to Granada, Spain. I took a trip there at the beginning of December and managed to see the famous Alhambra, browse the shops, enjoy tapas, and squeeze in a day skiing all in one weekend! We flew from Manchester directly into Granada Airport, then took a bus from outside the airport into the centre for just
