Mediterranean Beaches, Disney Magic & Once‑in‑a‑Lifetime Adventures Worldwide

Looking for your next holiday but not sure where to start? Whether you are dreaming of sun‑kissed beaches in Greece and Spain, a relaxing escape on the Mediterranean, a magical Disney adventure, or a tailor‑made journey through Vietnam, Japan or Thailand, I am here to plan it all for you.

I am Lesley, your personal Travel Counsellor based in Lincolnshire, with over 30 years’ experience creating holidays that are as unique as the people taking them.

I began my career on the high street and quickly realised that travel was not just a job for me, it was my life. Since then I have helped hundreds of customers with everything from easy beach breaks to complex multi‑centre itineraries, honeymoons and cruises.

I have been lucky enough to travel widely, gaining first‑hand knowledge I now use for my clients. I have explored many parts of the Mediterranean, including beautiful beaches in Greece and Spain, and the Greek Islands where I once worked as a holiday rep. I have also visited the USA including Disney, the Far East and Australia. This on‑the‑ground experience means I can recommend the right destinations, resorts and cruise lines, along with those little insider tips you simply do not get from searching online.

My key specialities include:
• Disney holidays and family theme park breaks
• Tailor‑made itineraries all over the world, including Vietnam, Japan and Thailand
• Holidays to Greece, Spain and Mediterranean beach destinations
• Walking holidays across Europe and scenic touring
• Ocean and river cruises
• Once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventures, from bucket‑list trips to Antarctica to special celebration journeys
• Honeymoons, weddings abroad and milestone occasions

As an independent Travel Counsellor, I am not tied to any one tour operator, which means I can search a wide range of options to find the right holiday at the right price for you. I combine award‑winning technology with genuine personal service to build an itinerary that fits your wishes, pace and budget.

Everything you book with me is 100% financially protected through our unique Travel Counsellor Trust, giving you complete peace of mind. I am proud that much of my business comes from repeat clients and personal recommendations, built on the extra care I take and the relationships I have formed over the years.

If you would like to receive my free email newsletters with handpicked holiday ideas, travel inspiration and special offers, just send me an email and I will be happy to add you to my list.

You can also join me on Facebook to keep up to date with my latest travel news, tips and offers, and to get to know me a little better.

I would love to help you plan your next escape, from a gentle walking holiday in Europe to a once‑in‑a‑lifetime adventure in Antarctica. Get in touch and let us start creating your perfect holiday.

Singapore is an ideal stopover choice on the way to Australia, or as a twin centre with other Asian destinations.

If there is one worldwide city you have to visit, Hong Kong is it! It certainly does live up to all its hype, and has to be one of the world's most photogenic cities! We absolutely loved it here and would definitely go back. We stayed for three nights here before spending a few days at Disneyland Hong Kong. We managed to do quite a lot of sight-seeing.

What my customers say

I recommend Lesley as soon as anyone mentions to me that they are looking at holidays!

J Lowe

Norfolk

I couldn't book holidays without Lesley, she is the most scrupulous and thorough person I’ve met. Every tiny detail is taken care of. She has been booking holidays for years for us now and I think she can actually read my mind! A+++++

Mr & Mrs Quinn

Market Rasen

Lesley is always fabulous. She knows exactly what we want from a holiday as we have been dealing with her for many years and she always comes up with exactly what we are looking for and doesn’t give up until we are happy . Her professionalism and knowledge are 2nd to none. Thanks again, Lesley

N White

Shropshire

I can highly recommend Lesley! She has been arranging our holidays for about 6 years now. She really takes the time to get to know you, and as a family with 2 teenage boys, she always managed to find us a holiday that would suit us all as family. I messaged Lesley last night at 8pm saying we'd made a decision on our hotel choice, thinking she would pick it up this morning, but she messaged back straight away and we were booked within 20 minute. I couldn't use an on line travel agent now, its so lovely to know Lesley sorts out everything and if i'm worried about anything, she's only a call away. ??

Mr & Mrs Wray

Derbyshire

Lesley is always good at finding what we want from a holiday ,wouldn’t go to anyone else ,thank you

G Baldwin

Cumbria

Thank you for your postcard and our greeting letters in hotels, it’s a lovely touch which made us feel special. Just thought I would drop you a line to say a massive thank you and review our holiday for others. Italian Cooking Experience + Lake Garda The whole holiday was perfect ?? Transfers were on time and very polite and nice cars. ? The chef experience was amazing. We had a beautiful suite of rooms with 2 balconies with views that were unbelievable. So much so we did not leave our room one night just say out enjoying the view and the gorgeous wine provided. Breakfast came by dumb waiter and was whatever we requested. We were made very welcome and felt like we were part of a family. Our meal the first night there was a delicious 7 course fish menu in their restaurant which over looked lake Garda and only accommodated 3 tables of 2 so very private and romantic, we would have done that again but after we cooked in morning we ate 4 courses at lunchtime with wine so not really hungry on night. You can also walk into village square where there was a nice bistro. The chefs teaching was brilliant and we learnt new skills, they were also very interesting and have travelled the world chef-ing. Then onto Sirmione which was busy but so much to see and do. We had some lovely walks and visited the castle. The Hotel provided a free trip round the peninsula which was nice. Hotel was very nice, good breakfasts and friendly polite staff. We ate there a couple of nights and the food was very good. Our Balcony overlooking a small square which was nice. All in all a fabulous holiday and we would definitely try a holiday like that again. Thank you once again X

Mr & Mrs Mcfarlane

Birmingham

“Fabulous two-centre Saariselka and Muotka The whole holiday was Amazing from start to finish. Brilliant Rep at both the Hotels Food was better than we ever expected! Totally wonderful no one could go hungry there. The trips were unbelievable, Cold -30 windchill some evening trips , but the hired gear and boots kept us toastie, the only thing that did get a tad cold was our fingers (we had to take gloves off for photos) and toes, but a quick hop in the sauna once back and a Honey Jack Daniels helped too ! ?? All photos taken whilst we were there! Obviously Northern Light Photos are better with camera than you see with naked eye which a lot of people didn’t realise (but I had done my homework) We did on our first night see them literally with our own eyes! I loved it so much we are wanting to return Thank You so much for literally ‘A HOLIDAY OF A LIFETIME’ “

Mr & Mrs Arnold

Lesley is lovely, prior to using Lesley for our dream wedding, we had tried using other people but wasn’t successful as they never helped me as much as Lesley. She has never given up and gave me all ideas and also advice. Cannot thank her enough we never thought we would be able to actually book our wedding until Lesley helped us. Thank you so much Lesley. :)

D Moore

I would just like to let you know about our experience with Lesley Hyde, Travel Counsellor. We have just got back from an absolutely fantastic Christmas skiing holiday. It was our first time spending Christmas away from home & it did not disappoint. Lesley Hyde organised everything from start to finish & everything in between. She was there to answer our endless questions and made us feel like we were her only clients, a bespoke holiday… She made us feel confident about travel abroad as we hadn’t been since pre covid. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient & most approachable, even when you feel some questions are silly. Contactable at all times, not just Mon-Fri, 9-5. Our resort was fantastic & there was endless snow, skiing & apres ski. The ski school & ski passes were sorted for us by Lesley. She literally thought of everything, even down to helping us choose a resort with the most chance of guaranteed snow. Staff in our hotel were very polite & helpful too. We have booked with Lesley before & will most definitely be booking with her again.

KM Mason

Just returned from an amazing 14 nights at the Zafiro hotel in Can Picafort, Majorca. Another amazing destination suggested by Lesley. Matched all our favourite holiday criteria, large freshwater pools, lots of sun loungers, shops, pubs & restaurants to visit without being too commercial. The hotel & staff were amazing. A very good 4 star resort & we return fully rested & rejuvenated and all ready to book next years with Lesley again. In addition to suggesting terrific locations It’s all the little touches like checking you in & preparing luggage tags like makes the difference. I really wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thanks for another amazing holiday Lesley x

D Tungate

K Rowell

Wisbech

We’ve just got home from our trip to New York and it was fantastic! I emailed Lesley almost a year ago wanting to surprise my fiancé for his 30th Birthday and had no idea where to start. Lesley was great from start to finish, talking me through everything and finding me the best deal. Even when I’d said yes she still came back with even better flight times meaning we got a whole extra day! Nothing was too much trouble and we spent the flight back discussing where to ask her to look for next! Thank you Lesley xx

We just wanted to say thank you for organising our trip to Seoul and Tokyo. The flights with Asiana airlines were great and we felt well looked after on the flights. The hotels were also in great locations with access to all the attractions we wanted to visit. The whole trip was very well organised and made it relatively stress free for us considering it was a 2 city break in an area of the world we had never visited before. We will be in touch to organise our next big trip which we want to do next year!

K McDonald

Lesley has just organised a wonderful holiday for us. We have always put together our own trips abroad, so wasn't sure what Lesley could do that we couldn't! Wow how wrong was I, not only did she find some very cost effective flights we hadn't found she put the whole package together flights, wonderful accommodation, car hire. Talked us through everything, reminded us of all the little details that could easily be forgotten, then put it all together in a great travel pack and off we went on a fantastic holiday. Thank you Lesley you are a star!

Cliff Buck

We have just returned from our skiing holiday in Montgenevre, France - a first for two out of the four of us. Lesley organised everything down to the finest detail for our budget - the perfect apartment, perfect ski school, even a welcome note when we returned home. A truly personally organised holiday. We highly recommend Lesley Hyde - Travel Counsellors for her experience and attention to detail. Thank you as always Lesley.

K Mason

I would like to say a big thank you to you for organising our trip to Vegas. We had an excellent time and everything ran smoothly. Someone described Vegas to me as a “posh Blackpool” and that to me was a good description of the place. It’s definitely worth a visit. The highlight of the holiday for me was flying over the Grand Canyon, it was just amazing! Something everybody must do whilst in Vegas. You just cannot describe it, it’s something you have to do to appreciate it. Thank you once again.

S Grundy

We would just like to say how super efficient & attentative Lesley has been with our most recent holiday booking. We had no knowledge of where to book, what packages or best deals to look for. She has dealt with all our requests and concerns and we are very much looking forward to our first trip snow skiing in April 2018. We have booked through Lesley before, will definitely book through her again and have recommended Lesley many times. Thank you Lesley.

Lesley was amazing as we booked our holiday. We were looking for our 1st all inclusive holiday. We flitted around many countries, hotels etc but Lesley remained patient with us, helping us along the way. Without Lesley's support I think we may have given up. Now we just have to wait till May16 for our break.

Once again Lesley worked her magic, organising our holiday as though it was her own! It was tremendous in every way. From making our first enquiry, to making the booking, throughout our holiday to returning home, Lesley was there every step of the way. The service just gets better! Each time, and there have been many, Lesley has amazed us with her knowledge, patience and effort that she puts in to every booking - whether it be a last minute cheapie or the holiday of a lifetime. Lesley now knows what we look for in a holiday and offers a personal and professional service time and time again, hence we remain regular clients.

S Bradford

Lesley was fantastic when organising our holiday. Due to the fact that it is our first holiday with our two year old son, Lesley thoroughly researched the hotels to ensure they were suitable for our son. She also provided Visa advice because my wife is Chinese and gave recomendations on which resorts would be OK for a May holiday. I would 100% recomemend her to all of my friends and family.

N Fairley

Lesley Hyde is first class. Efficient, Friendly and very skilled at her job. Her personal interactive skills are very polished and her ability to deliver the best price, most informative choices and execution of what is required is second to none. I have got nothing but the highest praise for the service given to me. Lesley came recommended to me and I was not disappointed. 10/10 every time and I will definitely be booking my future holidays through Lesley every time.

Lesley arranged an excellent holiday for me in Lanzarote at such short notice.

Many thanks to Lesley for her excellent service and a great holiday look forward to booking with Lesley maybe later in the year.

If you want a great travel consultant - look no further than Lesley Hyde. She booked a weekend break for us in Edinburgh - it was brilliant. I can thoroughly recommend her. No stone is left unturned to make your break absolutely perfect. Thanks Lesley.

B Davies

Lincolnshire

We have only ever used travel agents shops before to book our holidays abroad as it always seemed to be the easiest and most convenient option. Well not anymore!!! What could be easier than communicating with someone at your own convenience without having to drag the children into a shop where they are bored after the first half hour? Lesley was excellent at managing our expectations around when she would be able to respond to us, and came back to us within those timescales every time. Nothing was too much trouble and even when we realised we had got her to look for a holiday for the wrong dates, it still didn't seem to be a problem. All of the paperwork arrived in a lovely presentation folder - very impressed – and yesterday we even received a card from Lesley, thanking us for booking with her and again assuring us that nothing was too much trouble and any queries to feel free to contact her. I will definitely recommend her to anyone I know who is looking to find a holiday. Thank you.

H Jenkin

Lincoln

Lesley has been exceptional as our travel agent. My family and I have just come back from Orlando. She dealt with everything for us, and as there were 12 in my party that booked at different times it was no easy task. She kept me fully informed with e-mails and phone calls at all times. She is very professional in her job and the way she dealt with the holiday took all the stress away from me and my family. Not just flights and car hire - she arranged our park passes as well. Nothing was too much trouble for her. She really enjoys her job, and I will definitely be contacting her again when I intend on booking another holiday. I will also recommend her to our family and friends.

Diane Rice

I would like to thank Lesley once again for booking and providing all the relevant paperwork for our holiday to Zante. As per usual she was both efficient and friendly and extremely helpful in searching for different flights, resorts and accommodation.

jacki mcfarlane

We had been looking for a few days. Lesley found all the hotels we had already looked at and were considering, but also found one we had not looked at previously. It was the ideal place, and everything was organised and booked for us without hassle. Just the service we were hoping for.

Lesley was fantastic. She did her best to look at every possible option and destination to fit my budget. She was so helpful and friendly and always responded to my emails and calls very quickly. I didn't have to do a thing! She saved me a lot of time and stress. I would definitely recommend her to my friends.

I received excellent service from Lesley Hyde from first looking at the holiday and booking it. The holiday itself was great also as well as the after service when I returned home.

Thank you for once again organizing our holiday. Everything went smoothly, flight, taxi, room and resort all great. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to make our holiday, it’s most appreciated. Once again Lesley many thanks for all you have done in making our holiday special.

Lesley sorted out a seamless and lovely holiday for a half term break for my family. She even arranged fabulous weather! I literally had nothing to do other than provide her with a quick brief and then a few details by email. Beyond that every single step was taken care of for me, right down to printing out the boarding cards. All with minimal fuss and maximum efficiency as Lesley could suss out how busy and stressed I was, so just cracked on and didn't pester me. It's clear that Lesley is an exceptional travel professional and I would definitely use her again. I would also recommend her to all my friends, family and business colleagues wherever they may be in the world. If you want to take a holiday but are far too busy even to look into it as I was, then just outsource it to Lesley, whilst you get on with working! Top qualities: expert, always on time, high integrity.

Ian Thompson

Middlesbrough

This is the first time I have used Lesley and Travel counsellors for a holiday and the experiance has been fantastic. Lesley gave me more choice on hotels and flights than I could find online and she was also great for tips on airport transfers, as well as being extremely friendly and helpful with my numerous questions. The personal message on arrival at the hotel was fabulous and really nice of her to do, wishing us a great holiday. I'll definaterly be using Lesley's services again in the future.

I have booked two holidays for ourselves through Lesley and both holidays have been excellent. We have found Lesley's help invaluable, prompt and informative and all our requirements have been met, to the letter. Her knowledge has been vast and we will certainly be using her services again. I have been happy to recommend Lesley to many friends and relations, and know that my sister had a wonderful holiday in the Maldives all arranged by Lesley and Travel Counsellors.

Jacki McFarlane

Great Barr, Birmingham

I first contacted Travel Counsellors back in October last year and I spoke to Lesley who gave me much support in tailoring my holiday to Cyprus for my family. She was very helpful and made booking my holiday quite easy, she contacted the hotel and booked both rooms, and arranged separate transport to take us there instead of hanging around waiting for coaches. I can recommend Lesley very highly by the way she handled my booking from start to finish. Thanks again.

Jean Jowett

Wolverhampton

We were recommended Lesley by my parents who had travelled around the world with Lesleys help in planning and booking there holidays. My partner and I have recently got married in Florida, and thanks to Lesley we had the trip of a lifetime. Lesley provided us with all the information we needed and was able to answer any questions we had. We have just booked another holiday to Egypt through Lesley, again this was extremely stress free as we were given all the info and help we needed. I would recommend Lesley to all my friends and family as she has proven again and again to provide a great service.

Victoria Tabraham

Thatcham

We usually have two holidays a year and leave the booking in the capable hands of Leslie at Travel Counsellors. We have used Leslie for several years depending on her to find us the holiday we require and we have never been disappointed. We receive a personal touch from Leslie and nothing is too much trouble for her. Sometimes it takes us a few weeks but she is in touch with us offering loads of choices until we finally make our decision. We always receive our paperwork on time and should there be any problems, it is dealt with immediately. Where else would you get such service? We pass her cards out on holiday, and our neighbours now deal with Leslie as well. We sing her praises where ever we go. She is an excellent representative for Travel Counsellors.
