Marie is very professional and knowledgeable in her field. She goes above and beyond in providing options, information and service to her clients in a very timely manner. She listens to her clients needs and works diligently to plan a trip that exceeds their expectations and one that covers every last detail. I will continue to use Marie for my trip planning and bookings and will recommend her to friends in the future.

Insightful choices; Marie always has a great sense of my tastes and needs; her choices are always excellent; she makes imaginative suggestions to enhance the trip; She is incredibly fast, accurate, charming and helpful. I really couldn’t ask for more!

I cannot recommend Marie and Travel Counsellors highly enough! She provided brilliant service when trying to find our family holiday. It was our first time travelling as a family of 4 and we haven’t booked a holiday abroad for several years so I felt a bit overwhelmed with options and had limited time to research. We wanted something special that would be perfect for all our ages. Marie nailed it! She understood our family needs very well and provided the perfect options for us to pick from. The TC app is great to use and made finding our docs easy when we were on the move. She was incredibly responsive throughout the holiday when we needed her - we needed a reminder how to find the transfer - so we never felt without support and could totally relax. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all types of travel and her personal love to travel shines through! We have already booked our next holiday with her and I’m looking forward to planning more family adventures with her support!

Marie is very informed for the most popular holiday destinations. She listens to want your requirements are both budget and accommodation. Would not choose to book with anyone else.

Would recommend Marie without a shadow of a doubt. She is professional and knowledgeable but also feel like I am talking to a friend who understands what I am looking for from a holiday. Marie always goes above and beyond.

Marie was fantastic - really helpful and gave us a number of options to suit our requirements. We were able to quickly make choices about our holiday and everything was handled helpfully and efficiently. Thank you!

Excellent service from Marie Rowe as usual. Will be sure to use her again and thoroughly recommend her to others as she was recommended to us by friends. Swift service, great choices and a real help with a last minute hitch we had. Thanks again.

Marie is always polite, efficient, quick to respond and very patient with my stream of questions. She makes booking a holiday so easy :)

Wonderful trip to Sorrento. Marie was very friendly and supportive, taking all the uncertainty out of arranging this trip. We are using Marie again to plan our next trip and would recommend her for the excellent service she provides.

Marie was fabulously helpful. So friendly and easy to work with.

Marie offers such a wonderful, personal service. Every time we have booked a trip with her it has been straight forward and hassle free; that’s why we are return customers!

Marie Rowe came as a recommendation. We have been extremely happy and impressed with the service she has given us. Every question that we have raised has been dealt with promptly and efficiently.

Marie is great to work with. Clearly very knowledgeable about her subject and keen to help advise to make the best choice possible for my holiday.

Great service, Marie was friendly reassuring and efficient and found just what I'd asked for. Thanks so much, we can't wait to go!

Marie is very supportive - does all the thinking for you and just keeps you advised as needed!

Marie listened to our requirements and then suggested some tweaks based on her knowledge and experience to plan the perfect itinerary. She changed the airline provider and changed the itinerary not once but twice due to changes in circumstances at our end. She did this all efficiently and professionally, and never made me feel like a nuisance for asking for all the changes! Thank you!

Marie couldn’t be more helpful. She was so efficient and nothing was too much trouble for her. I will always book all my future holidays through her now.

Marie has proven to be extremely knowledgeable and has helped us to find and book exactly the holiday that we were after. Her support with general enquiries and COVID related questions (long before we made our booking) has been extremely helpful and we look forward to booking many more holidays with Marie.

Fantastic service! Marie is so helpful and knowledgeable. Very excited about my forthcoming trip to Bologna! Thank you Marie x

Marie is very knowledgeable, helpful and put together some great travel packages for us. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

I would definitely recommend Marie. From My first email correspondence ( Surprise Trip for My Wife's 60th birthday) to booking our amazing trip. We are just so excited to experience the safari itinerary that has been so thoughtfully put together for us.

Marie was great! She listened to what we were looking for and came back with perfect suggestions - despite us being fairly vague!

Marie Rowe is a great independent travel company, with such a personal service. We used Marie to organise our family trip last year. She was able to suggest a selection of different accommodation and areas that would complement our requirements. She came up with the goods and some!!! We had such a wonderful holiday and the memories to last a lifetime. Marie was quick at answering any questions and nothing was too much effort. I felt very confident and happy booking with Marie and I would highly recommend her for personal travel and holidays, and will be using Marie next year for another awesome holiday. Thank you Marie:)

Marie is a fantastic travel agent who went above and beyond to try and help me make my mind up when planning on booking my summer holiday for a friends wedding. She was flexible and very quick to respond to all forms of communication and was happy to quote and re-quote on different options until I was happy with what she had found. Currently I have two upcoming holidays booked by Marie and I am so excited to experience both of them. One a city break to New York and the other 10days in a luxury hotel in the sun. Not only is Marie on hand to help with questions during the booking process and beyond. With the Travel Counsellors app, you can manage all aspects of the booking from the touch of a button. Having conducted research with other companies online before coming to Marie I wasn't able to find a better price by doing it myself. For the reduced stress and extremely high level of service I wouldn't hesitate to use Marie in the future or to recommend her to my friend and family. Thanks Marie for all your hardwork.

I would highly recommend using Marie to book your perfect holiday! Marie has now booked holidays for me to South Africa, New York and Turkey. Each time the service she has provided has been exceptional. She's been able to give some fantastic recommendations and insights, and has always left me feeling like a valued customer.

Hey Marie, We had the best time! The accommodation at both places was spectacular, even to go further & say that on Praslin Island they upgraded us to a beach front apartment due to lack of guest numbers. So you can imagine our surprise & delight at this kind gesture. The staff at both accommodations were friendly & helpful & very attentive. Also I would like to say that the reps/drivers at the hotel, airports & on the excursions that we booked through them were 1st Class & again very friendly, helpful & efficient. Thank you Marie for all your hard work of arranging & booking this amazing holiday to the beautiful Seychelles for us with memories & activities that we will always hold dear to our hearts. Look forward to planning our next annual holiday adventure with you. That said I would also like to thank you for arranging my girlie holiday to Venice/Cruise in Oct. I have received all paperwork & have passed it onto my girlfriends. Take care & thank you once more. Jacqui & Alan Sherville xx

Highly recommended--prompt and efficient service and very knowledgeable. Do a bit of research --get a rough idea of what you want to do, tell Marie and she'll do the rest as well as suggesting things you haven't thought of. She also recognises that you don't always want to be mollycoddled and finding your own way around some places is part of the fun.

Marie was excellent and efficient quickly finding a great deal for our Honeymoon with quite tight parameters and time pressure. I would definitely recommend her and use her again myself.

Marie recently helped us to book a holiday abroad to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. From initial contact through to confirming the booking, I found Marie to be extremely professional and knowledgeable about finding the best holiday that matched our criteria. Marie is very easy to work with and carefully listens to what you want from your holiday and is then quick to suggest a number of different options from her own personal experience. She is also able to give you useful insight and tips on places to avoid or perhaps consider alternatives if she feels you can get more value for your money or more exclusivity which was the case for us. Thank you so much Marie for your amazing suggestions (which we would never have thought about without your help) and for making the booking process so easy. We are really excited for our upcoming holiday and will be sure to send you some photos! Warren and Marisa

Everytime I call Marie, however small & changing bits & pieces on my holiday she’s never made me feel like it’s too much or that I’m causing her stress so I’m so thankful ! I’ll definitely be using her services in the future!!

Marie Rowe was fantastic! She took all our needs into consideration and found us the perfect solution. Totally hassle free and she was so efficient. I was so impressed by her!! I will certainly be using her again and have been recommending to friends already. Thanks for all your help we are so excited about our holiday and the fantastic deal you have got us!!

Booking our holiday through Marie Rowe was so easy! I didn't really give her much lead time, and then left her to liaise with my wife as I was constantly away on work. The initial quote came through by the next morning and was laid out very professionally. She also researched various Hotels, before finding a match that ticked all our boxes. This also included all hotel transfers, and any help needed on the way. She really cares about every detail not just leading up the the holiday, but the follow up afterwards to make sure everything went to plan. I would recommend Marie to anyone who wants to take the stress and strain out of booking any trip away.

Booking my holiday through Marie was an absolute pleasure. My brief was dark skies and Marie was able to give me 5 days of luxury along with some of the darkest skies in the world. I was able to do some “deep space” photography thanks to Marie, something I’ve wanted to do for years. I came back relaxed and motivated. Marie offers service with genuine care. She kept me updated and offered advise along the way. She helped me arrange everything I needed to enjoy my holiday. Thankfully Marie also booked my car rental with a reputable firm. While on holiday, I crashed my rental and Marie was able to give me great advise and I was able to continue and enjoy my holiday without thing too much more about it. I will book all future holidays through Marie and will recommend your services to everyone that is looking for a holiday. Thanks for helping to create memories that’ll last a lifetime.

Marie, you are a delight to work with and we shall continue to use your services for our holiday bookings. We have already referred you to friends, family and clients and will continue to do so as from our experiences with you we can most definitely say that our travel arrangements are in safe hands.

It's great to have someone organising your holiday who really cares about your experience and puts this over profits. Marie is organised, patient, creative and able to make things happen. If we had arranged this trip without Marie's help we would have missed some great opportunities and paid more for less.

I'm normally an independent traveller, booking and organising everything myself but I was persuaded to use Marie for my recent weekend break in Madrid and I'm so pleased I did. Not just great attention to detail but really listening to what I was looking for, hence the hotel she found was perfect. Right in the centre of the city within walking distance of both the main sights and the funky neighbourhoods, with a lovely little balcony, swimming pool and awesome rooftop bar. While she couldn't organise the weather (a bit damp!) she did organise excellent, efficient transfers and offered to check us into the flights - but my independence reasserted itself on that one! A great service, I'll be using Marie and Travel Counsellors again.

Marie is very efficient and I like the Company ABTA cover and the fact that I have someone to call if there are any issues. Lovely to receive the additional map/booklet of Barcelona in the post too.

After much frustration failing to find a last minute break, we turned to you for some help. Amazingly, you came back to us within a day with a really fantastic City break option, a great hotel and perfect flight times. You were professional, available when we needed you and offered us really great advice. You took the stress out of the research and made the whole travelling process easy which allowed us to enjoy the break as soon as we arrived at the airport! I would not hesitate to recommend your services & I look forward to booking with you again soon.

Marie is very diligent and easy to work with. She is very patient and took into account all our requirements for our honey moon. She responded all our questions and concerns in a timely manner and nothing was an issue. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.

We would both like to thank you very much for helping us to plan and also for arranging our holiday to Florida at the end of March. We would have found it difficult to organise a 3 week,  5 stop holiday ourselves. From Miami to The Everglades then to Naples, next to Sanibel Island and finally to Bradenton. Each place was very different but there was lots to do everywhere. We had no idea that there was a wealth of wildlife in Florida apart from the Alligators. We both fell in love with the birds which were just stunning. We saw more than 40 different species of birds that we could identify. There are so many wildlife preserves, swamps and bird sanctuaries that there is always somewhere to go. The beaches were all lovely too. Spotting Dolphins and Manatees everywhere! The weather was glorious. Bradenton was a good choice for our final week as there was easy access to lots of lovely places that we wanted to go to. We didn’t get to them all as parking can be a big problem in some areas. We did however get to Anna Maria Island and St. Petersburg which are really worth going to. Our flights were great too. We had no problems at all. Stress free. Just as a holiday should be. We really hope that you will help us plan our next adventure although we don’t know where that will be yet. We rely on your vast knowledge of where to stay and places to go to.

I would like to thank you for arranging a forthcoming trip with a friend of mine to celebrate her special birthday. Unusually for me, I gave you virtually no instructions but only my budget and choice of airline. The criteria was a European City Break with some sun and you suggested Barcelona, which I love! You also used your imagination to find us fantastic accommodation in a serviced apartment in a fabulous location. Thank you once again and I will not hesitate to recommend your services to my contacts.

I wanted to thank you for arranging my recent trip to Miami with my kids. Prior to your making my booking I had explained to you that whilst I am very fussy traveler, this was not a trip of a lifetime but I had very clear ideas as to the type of places in which I wanted to stay. You came up with several options which I had not previously considered and which looked lovely on paper so I went for it. I am pleased to say that the hotels which you chose for us were excellent choices and suited myself and my kids extremely well. Thank you. I will not hesitate in availing myself of your excellent services in the future.

Dear Marie - my personal travel whizz and planning guru! Huge thank you for arranging our Thailand holiday earlier this year. It was, by far, our best holiday yet! I am a huge travel fan - I work hard so that I can travel to amazing places, to see and experience incredible things. So I have a ridiculously long bucket list of all the places in the world I will visit. And I know, that you will be our ‘#1 go to gal’ for planning and tailoring our trips. I’m great at knowing where I want to go, but I’m rubbish at spending the quality time and patience required in researching and planning the perfect adventure. But that’s ok... because that’s where you come in. From start to finish you ask the right questions and get to really understand what we are looking for in a dream holiday - then you go away, do all the hard work and come back to us with different top level options. We can then confidently decide which option will best suit our needs and we leave the rest to you. Taking away all of the pressure and we get to just sit back and look forward to the break. Our Thailand trip was epic. 3 destinations, the most beautiful hotels with views that were out of this world. Sorry if I over did it with the WhatsApp photo holiday spam! You must get so jealous! From start to finish, you made sure that every flight, car transfer and ferry trip was tee’d up perfectly so we could just relax. I can’t tell you how much that is worth to us - your service is world class and every last detail was top notch. I will always be your biggest raving fan and my envious Facebook friends always know it was you that created our dream holidays. Thank you for being a travel superhero! Lisa

Marie made the whole experience so easy. She’s super friendly and has great ideas on things to do and where to stay which I hadn’t thought of. I gave her a short brief and she came back to me promptly with a quote and ideas. I feel completely in safe hands and the whole experience from initial chat to booking was really smooth. Thanks Marie

We wanted to say a very big thank you for helping and advising us when planning what turned out to be the most amazing holiday in Canada. Toronto was great and we wish had stayed there longer actually. There was so much to do there. However, Niagara Falls and Niagara on the lake were stunning. The boat trip around the falls was totally amazing. The VIA Rail train from Toronto to Vancouver was so much better than we imagined. The ever changing scenery was awesome, especially going through the Rocky Mountains. The food was top notch too! We drove to Whistler from Vancouver and your estimate of 2 hours was spot on! Whistler is the most beautiful place with so much to do. We could have stayed for a lot longer than 6 nights. We didn’t waste a minute. The Peak to Peak Gondola was amazing. The trip back to Vancouver took a lot longer than 2 hours though as we had to stop at so many beautiful sights. Always on the look out for bears. We also went on the Sea to Sky Gondola in Squamish where I was brave enough to cross a suspension bridge! Vancouver is gorgeous. We found so much to do including going to Stanley Park, a boat trip around the harbour, visiting some local native art museums, shopping and our favourite trip was to Grouse Mountain where we found two brown bears that were rescued 17 years ago and have been looked after ever since. We also got to see a show with some native birds and also a hilarious Lumberjack show. We can’t express how happy we are with all of your recommendations of where to go and what to see. Also the hotels were fabulous. It was a very different type of holiday for us but we would definitely do it again. We were so busy that we could do with another holiday now! We look forward to booking through you again soon.

Being a very indecisive person, it was great to have Marie’s expertise in finding the perfect location as well as the ideal accommodation for two very different holidays last year (one with close friends, one with my partner). Thanks to her skills in finding the holiday destinations and accommodation, and the seamless organisation of the flights and transfers at the other end, she definitely took the stress out of the whole process on both occasions. Much appreciated, Marie.

Marie found options for us that were better value than we would have found for ourselves. I'm not a lover of looking through accommodation options and suitable flights, so to have all this done for us, and have only one booking to make was great. The personal, human interaction is also a world apart from booking through a series of web pages. I am a convert to the personal service of Travel Counsellors and Marie in particular.

Travel is, without question, my favourite thing to do. What is not my favourite thing, is spending pain-staking hours scouring the web to find the perfect trip. It therefore, often gets left until the last minute, I expect costing me dearly. However, thanks to Marie and her efficient expertise, my 2018 is already shaping up to be a fantastic year. She has recently helped me to organise my annual R&R trip to Dubai. Having visited friends in Dubai for many years, I was pretty sure of where I wanted to stay and Marie very quickly planned around my specific hotel and flight requests. In addition to this, she had a few alternative suggestions for me, although initially very sure of my hotel choice, her ideas were hard to ignore. I am delighted to say that with Marie’s expert knowledge and research, she has set me up in a stunning hotel which rivals my original plan for a fraction of the cost. Complete with preferred flights and transfers. The whole process from our initial chat through to the booking was extremely smooth and kept my administration input to an absolute minimum. The entire booking is held within the MyTc App on my phone which I know will be invaluable when I am standing outside Dubai airport in 50 degrees of heat wondering who the transfer is booked with. I’d highly recommend anyone to speak to Marie, not only to take the stress out of organising their travel but to inspire all of their future travel adventures. Marie, thank you for all of your help with this trip, I can’t wait to book the next one!

Marie has made booking our honeymoon to Mauritius so easy and was very quick to come back with any answers to all our questions along the way. Her knowledge was excellent and very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Marie to friends and family. Thanks very much!

A huge thank you Marie for all of your help throughout our decision process. We had lots of questions that you answered instantly. We have recommended you to friends already. Thank you for our honeymoon pack and the handwritten note, it was very sweet of you.

Marie, I have had a wonderful time in Budapest; the flights, transfers and accommodation were just amazing. You managed to secure a great deal for us considering our budget, time constraints, and personal likes and dislikes. You made our trip easy, stress free and worth it. Although it took me a while to finalise my destination and dates etc., you were constantly supportive and patient. You were always on your toes with a willing to help attitude. Your services have a personal touch, which cannot be found anywhere else in the market. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your service and I will look forward to bringing more business your way in the future!

I've already recommended Marie to two different people, both wanting to book their honeymoons. I think that speaks volumes! She's been fab, very patient and so helpful with narrowing down where to go. I'm so excited for our honeymoon now!

Marie has been brilliant to deal with and made everything easy. From my brief outline of where I was thinking of going and when, Marie came up with several options in a very short period of time and despite me moving the posts! Marie took the time to understand what I wanted to do and deliver a city break which exactly meets my requirements and budget. I have no hesitation in recommending Marie to my friends, family and business contacts as the service provided is excellent and I am confident that they we be looked after in a friendly and professional manner. Well done and thank you!

The travel service Marie provides saves me a significant amount of time when it comes to searching for suitable hotels and holiday packages for my family. She removes the hassle of planning and takes note of specific details that are personally important to me, such as preferred flight times and room categories. Marie also ensures that I don’t have to worry about any supplier failures - airlines going bust or hotels being overbooked, or anything similar that could affect my travel plans. With Marie, I am 100% financially protected and take comfort in knowing that she is there at the end of the phone if I need anything while I am away. On one occasion I had to cancel a holiday arrangement that I had booked through Marie. She handled the whole situation professionally and efficiently and also managed to return my initial deposit payment which was much appreciated. I highly recommend booking travel with Marie Rowe, especially if you value your time and want to be sure of a quality experience whilst you’re away.

Excellent service, with the customer being top priority at all times! We thought we would never find exactly what we wanted, but Marie did. We received such a personal service and are very grateful for Marie's hard work and calls at unsociable hours! Thank you Marie!

Marie was very efficient and responded very quickly offering me different options until I was happy with the right holiday. Once we had completed the payment all of my paperwork was out to me within 2 days so a very easy process and the first time I have experienced booking my holiday this way which was seamless and definitely worth doing again.

Excellent, professional, knowledgeable and personal service. I'll be booking all future trips with Marie Rowe. She's a star!

Excellent service. Will be using Marie for all my holidays in the future and will be recommending her to her to ALL my friends and family.
