It's Nice To Meet You

Hello and welcome to my webpage!

I am your local Personal Travel Counsellor - originally from Lurgan now living in Donaghadee, County Down.

I have been in the Travel Industry for just over 28 years, visited many countries, seen many sights, and pride myself on being able to serve my clients with only the best advice!

I can assist you on all travel arrangements from short European breaks to tailor-made trips, ski holidays to cruises, escorted tours to family holidays! I can make restaurant reservations, organize extras such as car hire, theatre tickets, hot air balloon trips and even wedding ceremonies.

I became a personal Travel Counsellor 17 years ago as I wanted to concentrate on what I do best; arranging travel for my clients and offering the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. I offer a fully personalised service tailored to my client’s individual requirements.

Unlike most high street travel agents, Travel Counsellors is not tied to selling one particular company’s holiday. This means you are much more likely to get the holiday you want rather than the holiday the high street agent wants to sell you. In fact, we work directly with our own suppliers and are your Tour Operator - offering Package Holiday Protection and ATOL protection.

So what’s stopping you from making that call or sending that email to me today, to whisk you away to the holiday you deserve?

Margaret has been fantastic , I had a basic idea of what we needed for our Family Trip of a lifetime , I don't have the time or expertise to work out flights , hotels , dates etc . Margaret's advice and recommendations helped me focus on what was possible within a budget . She is very easy to talk to and full of good ideas of places to see and do , it helps that she listens to what we wanted but able to advise on things that would not be practical due to time or distance limitations. Margaret was recommended to me from friends who Margaret had helped in the past , I would not hesitate to recommend her to any of my friends or family. brilliant service.

Margaret listened to our thoughts and came up with some fabulous suggestions.. The quality of the itinerary was next to none and Margaret was happy to make any changes required. We feel as if we are in very safe hands and cannot wait to go on our trip - it will be a trip if a lifetime to South Africa

Thank you so much for organizing our honeymoon for us - nearly a year and a half ago - how times flies!! We really enjoyed our trip to New Zealand, the itinerary you prepared was flawless and we recommend you to friends all the time! We have been busy with our son Jack who arrived in June..perhaps the next holiday you are organizing for us will be a family one. Love Richard, Leanne and Jack

Fabulous service as always. Other agents or booking direct may be a little cheaper but Margaret's customer service and genuine concern to provide the perfect holiday experience from start to finish, far outweigh any price difference.Travel Counsellors are lucky to have retained such a brilliant member of staff.

From the moment I first contacted my Travel Counsellor, Margaret Ramm, she was very helpful. My fiancé and I didn't really know where we wanted to go on honeymoon. Plus then trying to choose somewhere with the best weather and activities that suited want we wanted, made it even harder. Margaret asked us a few questions about what we wanted out of our honeymoon and showed us a few places, we loved her ideas and she was very good with our budget. Cannot wait to go on our honeymoon in July!! :) Thanks Margaret for making our dream honeymoon come true without overspending.

I found Margaret extremely helpful and accommodating. She was accessible at anytime of the day, 7 days a week. I got a sense that she really wanted to plan me a honeymoon that would be unforgettable and all at the most competitive price. I was alternatively seeking other honeymoon quotes and Margaret was unbeatable. I would strongly recomment Margaret to family and friends and I have infact booked my hen party with her and have just give her the challenge of organising my fiance's stag. I will be contacting Margaret for all my future holidays. Cannot recommend enough.

My wife and I wanted to organise a much-needed city break; just a couple of days together to re-charge our batteries. The demands of work and family meant that we simply never got around to finding time to research and arrange a suitable holiday break. I contacted Margaret Ramm at Travel Counsellors and asked her to sort something out. That single phone call resulted in a fantastic city break in Venice in early November. Margaret put together a few options for us to choose from and then organised all our travel and accommodation needs - right down to writing out our luggage labels for both the outbound and inbound journeys! All we had to do was turn up at the airport. The restaurant she recommended was lovely and we would not have found it without her directions as it was tucked away down one of those slender, innocuous alleyways which are so typical of Venice. We have no hesitation in recommending Travel Counsellors and will certainly be contacting Margaret when the time comes for our next holiday.

Hi Margaret After being home from our skiing holiday for several weeks now I just wanted to let you know we had a fantastic holiday. We have been watching the Olympics this week and have been reminiscing about our time in Whistler. I also want to thank you personally for the fantastic job you did on organising the whole trip. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to my friends and have already said to one guy about our great experience with Travel Counsellors. I hope to talk to you soon and who knows I could be booking another skiing trip for next year. Thanks again
