Linda Pears
It's Nice To Meet You
Hello my name is Linda Pears and I am based in Congleton, Cheshire.
I have worked in the travel industry for over 30 years, joining Travel Counsellors as a personal travel advisor in 2007.
I absolutely love travel and I take pride in going the extra mile for my customers to create the perfect holiday for them.
I have been lucky enough to visit some amazing countries; Australia, Hawaii, and the Maldives to name but a few and more recently Japan, which was amazing. This, along with my own personal holidays around Europe and beyond, enables me to give you first-hand experience and travel advice about the places you want to see.
Cruising and skiing are also my passions and I have been fortunate enough to visit many ships and sail around some fabulous ports of call as well as ski in some amazing mountain resorts.
Whatever your travel needs, from weddings to golf, from tours to city breaks, I can help make it happen and it makes me feel proud that so many of my loyal customers make it their business to recommend my service to their friends, family and colleagues.
I can also help with corporate travel, specialising in business class flights and groups within the UK, Europe and beyond.
So the next time you are looking for that perfect holiday experience or the business trip to clinch that deal, please feel free to get in touch.
I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

So focused on building the best holiday experience for her clients. Asked lots of questions about budget, the kind of holiday we wanted, our key requirements, any compromises we'd make....& I have to say we may very well have just had THE best holiday we've ever had (& I thought nothing would top the Maldives). Very professional lady, very communicative, helpful (with advise about our destinations in a multi centre holiday to Thailand - never been before) & providing support with seat bookings & check ins (both ways) Took so much of the stress away

Linda was recommended to me by a friend when I was stressing about booking about flights for a multi-centre holiday. After speaking to Linda on the telephone, I was completely reassured by her calm manner and I asked her to provide me with a quotation for my trip. Linda sent me a detailed quote with suggestions for hotels . I felt under no pressure to book through her , she was friendly and helpful but not pushy. Once I asked her to go ahead with the booking, she was extremely efficient and her communication throughout was superb. Our trip was fantastic and went ahead without any hitches whatsoever. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Linda to others and will most definitely book any future holidays using her fantastic service.

From the patience at the beginning of the process, to the notes at the hotels, to the postcards at our biggest moments...you did everything! Even when we were delayed and you weren't working, you still managed to get someone else to get in touch which we really appreciated in the moment...thank you, thank you, thank you!

Linda’s help with finding the right holiday is invaluable. Nothing is too much trouble, her knowledge is great and she gives excellent advice. Linda is friendly and makes booking a holiday a lovely experience. Most importantly to me, I know if anything happens and we need help, she will be on it immediately. Linda does so many things which are above and beyond providing a service - She gets up in the middle of night to be the first to book plane seats and takes it upon herself to ring my mum to check in on her when we go away and she’s home alone. How lovely is that x

Landing in Tokyo you already get that sense of efficiency this country runs on. Although a queue at customs it moved quickly and before you knew it we were on the train for an hours journey into the city. Travelling as a party of three, one thing to note is that Western hotels in Japan tend to only accommodate two people so we were allocated two rooms. Straight to Tokyo Tower, one of the tallest

Real Spain

I’ve recently returned from a relatively unknown part of Spain, Costa Tropical. The reason behind its low key image I think may have something to do with people keeping it secret! Sandwiched in-between Costa del Sol and Costa de Almeria, the Costa Tropical consists of various resorts such as Almunecar, Motril and Salobrena. I stayed inland in Veluz de Benaudella, a pretty town set in a valley s

Fabulous Frejus
18 March 2011
Situated between St.Tropez and Cannes, Frejus is a large sprawling town with some famous Roman ruins. The centre of the town is compact with lots of shops and pedestrian streets. The focal point being the cathedral in the centre, set in a very pretty square. I stayed just outside of the town with views overlooking the nearby hills. A very relaxed way of life ensued for the rest of the week.
