Bespoke Travel Planning Built on Trust, Expertise & Lasting Relationships
Hello, I’m Martin – your personal Travel Counsellor.
Thank you for visiting my page. I specialise in creating bespoke, tailor made holidays designed around you - your preferences, interests, pace, and travel style. Whether you’re dreaming of a relaxed weekend escape, a luxury bucket list journey, a multi centre adventure, family holiday or an adults only retreat, my role is to make planning effortless and the experience unforgettable.
Travel isn’t just my profession, it’s my passion. I offer a highly personal, one to one service, and I’m available 24/7 whenever you need me. You’ll always deal directly with me, never a call centre or automated system. My aim is to build long term relationships, getting to know my clients over time so that every holiday is better than the last.
Originally from the Czech Republic, I’ve lived and worked across the UK and Europe and travelled extensively. Being bilingual allows me to offer deeper insights and truly personalised recommendations. I take the time to listen carefully, understanding what matters most to you, so I can design holidays that feel thoughtfully crafted rather than off the shelf.
Beyond planning trips, I love exploring new destinations myself. From the culture and architecture of Barcelona to the magical Christmas atmosphere of Prague, and further afield to Singapore, Bali and Barbados, my personal experiences help me guide my clients with honesty and confidence.
At Travel Counsellors, your holiday is fully financially protected, professionally managed, and supported every step of the way.
My background in hospitality and care means exceptional service comes naturally to me.
If you’re looking for a dedicated travel professional who will take care of every detail and build a lasting travel partnership with you, I’d love to help.
Looking forward to hear from you soon!
Martin, your Travel Counsellor.

Why use a Travel Counsellor
Let's plan your dream trip together
Tailor-made for you
Your holiday isn’t just a trip away. It’s a longed-for escape, time to reconnect with loved ones, or a dream adventure you never thought possible. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know you and understand your hopes and expectations, then use my experience, connections and passion for the destination to create a trip that makes those dreams a reality.
Personalised service. Always
When you plan a holiday with me, you’ll be given my personal mobile number from the very first call. I’ll listen to your thoughts and ideas like I would a friend and arrange accommodation, activities, and flights that are all personalised to you. And I’ll share my personal tips and recommendations, so you can experience the true beauty of each destination.
Stress-free travel, and more time for what matters most
I believe your time away should be stress-free, easy, and seamless from start to finish. So, I take care of all the details for you - from ATOL protection, insurance, and flexible payments to access to the myTC app, which keeps everything in one place.
Support when it matters most
If the unexpected happens, you can rest easy, knowing that I’ll handle any last-minute changes, flight cancellations, or disruptions before you even pick up the phone. So you always feel happy, carefree, and ready to make the most of every moment.
