It's Nice To Meet You

Hi

I am Marisa, your very own personal Travel Counsellor and I’m based between South Lanarkshire and Edinburgh.

The difference when you book with me is that I really go all out to listen to what ‘you’ want from your holiday and work hard to make that a reality. You have my personal contact numbers and email and can call me any time… no call centres. I have organized many fabulous holidays and trips for my valued customers from my UK wide customer base.

I can offer you a vast selection of holidays and can also tailor make your trip using hundreds of approved Suppliers as well as mainstream holiday companies. Working to your budget I will do all the hard work for you to ensure your hard earned dream holiday is all you expect and more.

I offer the highest level of Personal Service before, throughout and after your trip which is why many of my customers return to book and kindly recommend me to their friends and families.

I am also contactable 24/7 if you need to get in touch.

Very importantly your money is 100% safe, protected by our ATOL and Travel Counsellors Trust. It’s the best financial protection in the business and ensures you have complete peace of mind when booking with me, which is crucial to so many customers today.

A BIT ABOUT ME:
I’m very widely travelled, I Climbed Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu, fished in India, trekked by camel in the deserts of Rajasthan, searched for Tiger and Rhino in jungles and took a small jet past the summit of Mount Everest!

I equally love a short break closer to home and when away always look out for tips my customers might enjoy from great restaurants to secret hideaways.

I am a certified Open Water PADI Diver and an intermediate skier.

WHAT CAN YOU BOOK?
SUMMER SUN - Europe & World-Wide, the World is your Oyster
WINTER SNOW - Ski, Northern Lights, Santa in Lapland, polar bears in Canada!
CITY BREAKS - Romance, Culture, Foodies, Christmas Markets

I would like to thank Marisa for coming to the rescue when our holiday was cancelled due to the other travel company going bankrupt. Her expert advice helped us recover all our money. I am looking forward to my new holiday safe in the knowledge that we will be with a company that looks after its customers, from the start of our booking until the end of our holiday and protects us in these uncertain times.

I was invited to join the Queen Mary II for part of her commemoration voyage around the British Isles to celebrate her 5th Birthday. We departed Southampton and included ports of call in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Cork and Cherbourg.

Egypt... Why is it that I have visited this country more times than any other I have visited in the world? Because it is special. Every aspect of Egypt is enchanting, mesmeric and I have never received a warmer welcome than here.
