Melanie Knibbs
It's Nice To Meet You
Hello, my name is Melanie and welcome to my webpage.
I am an independent travel agent based here in Mirfield but with regular customers all over the whole UK. I live here with my husband Dean and have two grown up daughters who have also inherited my passion for travel.
I have been a home working travel agent for many years but joined Travel Counsellors in 2011 to ensure that I am able to get the best holiday for you. I pride myself on offering professional, friendly and excellent customer service. I aim to exceed the level of customer service you would expect to receive in a high street agency or on the internet. Also, every penny you spend is safe and protected by either ATOL or our unique trust which offers the best financial protection in the industry.
I have been very fortunate over the years to visit many places on holidays and educational trips including Europe, North Africa, North America, Dubai, the Caribbean, Australia, Asia and Hawaii. I am also a cruise specialist and have been on around 40 ocean and river cruises personally enabling me to help you find your perfect voyage, be it your first or if you are considering something a bit different.
Working from home allows me to work at times that are best for my customers and I have access to the most up to date information.
It would be a lovely to hear from you so that I can take care of your next trip, no matter how big or small. Give me a call or send me an email with your requirements.
I hope to speak to you soon.

To future customers of Melanie Knibbs,
My wife and I have used Malanie for a number of years and can recommend her 100%.
Melanies knowledge and experience of the travel industry is second to none, from looking for a late deal to a Luxury holiday, on top of that she is a very pleasant person to deal with.

I have booked a couple of cruises with Melanie and found her to be a charming and friendly lady and importantly, very good and efficient at her job. I like the way she will always call back when she promises to, nothing seems to be too much trouble, her cheerful manner makes booking a very pleasant experience and I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. I am looking forward to dealing with her again in the near future.
