Hi - My name is Lindsay Garner and I am a personal Travel Counsellor
I have been with Travel Counsellors since 1999 and I love my job! My clients are not just customers but they are friends and a lot have been with me since the beginning - they are my best referrers! My office is based at home and I also have use of an office at the rear of my husband's business in Totnes and a lot of clients book to come and see me and have a coffee and a chat about their holidays! Its a great way to do business!
I also book business travel flights for some of the local business's here in Totnes and have a Business Travel Page for them to look at. I resigned as Membership Secretary for the Totnes Chamber of Commerce as I had been doing this for 15 years but am still involved in the membership and involved in local activities within the town and am proud to be part of that. My aim is to give excellent customer service and as my business is based on word of mouth referrals it has gone from strength to strength by my name being recommended by my customers to their work colleagues and family.
I have travelled to many parts of the world including the USA, Canada, Western Australia, the Caribbean and Alaska as well as Europe but there are still so many that I wish to see. I tailor make holidays for my clients so that we can get the best holiday we can for you and as a company we have fantastic contacts in places like Vietnam, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand and many more.
I hope that you can tell that I am passionate about my job and would love to hear from you to discuss any travel arrangements that you are looking to make be it leisure or business!
I look forward to hearing from you!

We decided to go to Sorrento for a short break - it’s one of those places that I have been booking clients for years and have always wanted to go so we did! After a lovely evening at the Hilton Hotel at Bristol airport we had a relaxing start to our early morning flight to Naples - great flight with Easy jet and arrived on time and the weather was glorious! We left a very wet and windy Bristol, s

I recently booked a client to go to the Richard Branson camp in the Masai Mara - here is her report and pictures: I have recently returned from a great holiday that Lindsay booked for me to the wonderful resort of Mahala Mzuri in the Masai Mara. This resort is owned and run by Richard Branson and it was one of the best experiences of my life! We flew out with Kenya Airways Business class and the

If you are wondering where your family should travel this year for your summer break or for an Autumn half term escape, consider Sri Lanka, which is an ideal family destination. Why? Sri Lanka is tremendously family friendly. The island is incredibly diverse and comprises ancient ruins, colonial forts, beaches, wildlife reserves, tea estates and coconut plantations. Thanks to Sri Lanka’s relativ

Why should you use my service and entrust your travel arrangements with me? Over the 30+ years I have been in the travel industry the way we research, and book travel has changed massively. Gone are the days of using guidebooks from the library to research your trip and solely having a travel agency to book your flights and accommodation – there is now a huge number of booking websites, travel a

Hi Lindsay Our lovely holiday was just perfect, seems ages ago already, but we have some great memories. Disney was everything you expected and more really, Port Orleans Riverside was a lovely resort, the garden areas were beautifully laid out and very well maintained. The bedrooms were spacious and attended to everyday. The magic bands were a great idea, loved not having to worry about keys

Hi Lindsay, Nigel has asked me to do the holiday feedback for you: We liked the general area, but the actual village left a lot to be desired. The main part of the village was a busy main road, with just a few local shops within walking distance. There were some side streets which had a couple of nicer restaurants, which we used a three or four times, but although it was said to be within w

One of the older ships of Celebrity but still clean, tidy and beautiful. A very welcoming ship with amazing staff. Quite a large ship but doesn't feel it. We booked for 10 days in August and have to say it was one of the best cruises we have been one both for ship and islands. The ship visited Venice, Dubrovnik, Crete, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos and Katakolon. There were many nationalities onboard

With a new grandson in the family, I decided that after spending as much time with him as I could we would make a weekend of it and revisit one of the places that I used to go to as a child - Great Malvern. I had a great Aunt we used to visit here when I was a child and it was a lovely time to go back and look around and see the changes! We stayed at the Abbey Hotel in Malvern and it was a g

I had this little review from a regular client who wanted a short break in the UK - this is what she sent me. They stayed at the Wyck Hill House at Stow on the Wold, a large country house hotel at the heart of the Cotswolds. A 4-star property with a spa - a great break away. “Hi Lindsay, Had a great time in Cotswolds so thank you for the recommendation. We visited Stow in the Wold, Broadway

It was a while ago now, but I was lucky enough to be chosen to travel to Kenya for a beach hotel inspection and a safari! It was my first time to an African country and to be honest I was not sure what to expect. We flew out with Kenya Airways to Nairobi and then took a domestic flight to Mombassa. The poverty along the road leading away from the airport was an eye opener for me but everyone wa

Earlier this year I had the pleasure of organizing a trip for some clients to go to Vietnam and Cambodia - it was two of the destinations on their bucket list and they asked if I was able to help them piece an itinerary together. I of course said no problem and I was happy to help. Along with our fantastic on the ground contact in Vietnam and Cambodia we came up with a great itinerary for them and

One of the most amazing tailor-made trips that I have organized was to South Africa! I absolutely love booking this county - it is so diverse and there is so much to see and do so it was a great pleasure putting an itinerary together for some very special clients to visit here. They flew out to Cape Town in February and as it was a special trip they decided to go business class - this gave them

I love tailor making trips for my clients - here is another one that I created for them - it includes a cruise from Singapore - both first time cruisers and they loved it - again a joy to put together! 28 February 2017 Flight: Emirates - EK 30 London Heathrow (LHR) T3 Depart: 16:15 Dubai Intl Arpt, Dubai (DXB) T3 Arrive: 03:00 01 March 2017 Class: Business Seats Confirmed

I had an enquiry for a client that wanted to go to the USA to visit friends but to also have some time on their own. They wanted small boutique hotels and car hire and also wanted to travel by train from Boston to New York which was a great way to travel! I arranged all of this for them along with the ESTA and assistance at the airport for them and their luggage. Have a look at their itinerary

I recently arranged this trip for some regular clients of mine that wanted to go to Sydney for the New Year! We had to book it quite a way in advance as you can imagine but this is the trip that I arranged for them:- 27 December 2017 Flight: Singapore Airlines - SQ 321 London Heathrow (LHR) T2 Depart: 22:05 Changi Intl Arpt, Singapore (SIN) Arrive: 19:00 28 December 2017 28 December 2017 Fl

I have booked a number of clients over the years to beautiful destinations and have had the wonderful task of tailor making a lot of their trips. They vary from European destinations to the Far East, North America and Australia. I thought that I would share some details of some of the trips that have happened over the years. This one was for a couple in their late fifties that wanted a special tri

I have received this email from a client who had an amazing trip to Thailand in March. It was a tailor-made trip that took in Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and Khao Lak. She is a Pilates teacher. “Hi everyone, I am back from a fabulous holiday, in which I stayed in 6 different hotels, did Thai cooking class, met 3 different tribes (including The Shamen, witch doctor), and danced with some of

My husband and I went to the Barceló Teguise hotel in Lanzarote for his birthday in October - he turned 60 and does not celebrate with a party so we decided that we would escape any surprises and went away for a lovely weeks’ break in the sun. This is an adult’s-only all-inclusive property - we normally do our own thing and tour but decided that we would just chill and relax - read and eat and

Another visit to this amazing city - it's one of my favourite cities ever! We travelled here in the spring to watch my stepdaughter perform on Broadway! What a fantastic achievement! She is a principal with Scottish ballet and they toured the USA and my husband and I were privileged to see her perform at the Joyce Theatre on Broadway. We also decided that we would take two of our friends

Its somewhere that I have always wanted to visit so I was really lucky to have been chosen to go to Barbados on a Wedding and Romantic Fam. It was just what I expected. It has perfect places for marriage proposals, weddings and honeymoons. Can cater for small and large groups so perfect for a large family wedding or a small individual one! For wedding venues, you can say 'I do' on a sandy beach

In January my company holds an in house competition and the prize for the winners is normally a ‘free’ trip to the holiday destination that the competition has been based around – this January it was based around Cancun and our team won! As a result 28 Travel Counsellors were very lucky to go to Cancun, Mexico for a week to experience the resorts and hopefully to get a rest! However, due to the

We recently travelled to Venice for a long weekend with some friends after wishing to visit here for a long time! I was not disappointed! We arrived in the afternoon to glorious sunshine and proceeded to the dock to catch our water taxi to Venice Island. It was more expensive to take the water taxi as opposed to the public vaparettos but as this was our first time - I wanted to arrive in style a

My husband and I with some family members went to Marrakesh for a long weekend and found it was as spectacular as all the travel books and articles said! It was full of amazing smells and colours and the Djemaa El Fna Square was just out of this world! I have never seen so many different parts of a sheep that is used as food! The snake charmers and the acrobats are all around and you have to be

We wanted to have a special honeymoon, slightly different than the normal beach holiday and we decided to combine two countries that we always wanted to visit, and that was Canada and Alaska. As Canada is such an amazing country we thought that we would sample as much as we could in our limited time, so we flew into Toronto and stayed there for 3 nights. Whilst there we had dinner in the revolvi
