It's Nice To Meet You
Hello and welcome to my page.
I have always loved to travel it is quite honestly my favourite thing to do. Another passion is delivering excellent service and by showing you the benefits of the personal touch, I believe I can make booking your trip as enjoyable as the adventure itself.
I love ALL travel, city breaks, UK breaks, cruises, skiing, beach breaks, lakes and mountains, long haul, theme parks, theatre - you name it. My husband and I enjoyed long haul travel more pre children, but with them we have had some amazing adventure to Lapland, Florida and Europe. I can't wait to explore more of the world with them! More long haul and a safari is definitely on my list.
I manage business travel for clients whose jobs take them away from home, I know how important it is to have a reliable business travel agent. I offer a full service including air, rail, conferencing, interview facilities, hotels, car hire and much more and all bookings are managed efficiently through our app MY TC. I am on hand out of hours to deal with those last minute changes to make the process as smooth and slick as possible. Travel Counsellors offer 24/7 cover for emergencies via me or our duty office. Business travel should not be a hassle and I believe I take the pain away for my clients allowing them to get on with the job in hand.
My travel career spans 25 years starting as an apprentice working for a high street agency at 16 and advancing to different levels within the same company. My role as a world travel consultant gave me extensive knowledge of the cruise, wedding and honeymoon sectors so much so I class myself as an expert in these areas. However, I am equally as excited by the challenge of family and couples holidays to absolutely anywhere. If you are looking for a recommendation I am only too happy to help.
Taking the hassle out of your travel arrangements is what makes being your own personal travel agent such a joy. I can assist with anything from pre booking your seats and printing boarding passes to securing that special room or organising a large group booking, nothing is too much trouble.
100% financial protection is provided on each and every booking - I know how important it is to book with someone you trust and to have confidence that your money is safe. Booking with me means avoiding the danger of losing money with websites that go in to administration or the all too familiar story of tour operators that collapse. The financial protection I offer free of charge is the best in the industry.
Thank you for visiting my page and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Natalie.

I have already recommended Natalie and Travel Counsellors a few friends. Booking our trip with Natalie was so easy and hassle free. We discussed the trip and tweaked things a couple of times - nothing was too much trouble. Natalie booked our last trip to Australia for us and everything went like clockwork.

From our initial conversation about my family holiday requirements I was confident that she understood exactly what we wanted. Natalie presented us with a couple of options that literally ticked all the boxes. So although our holiday isn't for a few months I'm sure it will be exactly what we're after.

Natalie was so great with helping me find the perfect place for a big family celebration , with lots of specific criteria from fussy family members it was never to much trouble and eventually Natalie found a great resort that suits us all. I have already recommended her to a few friends.

Natalie is the most understanding, patient and thorough person I know. She is polite, funny, calming, and doesn't get flustered at whatever scenario or query we throw at her. Her service is second to none and peace of mind for us when we are away, is everything. Natalie is Fantastic with a capital F!

Natalie is simply amazing. Like a travel angel that knows just what you want, just how to find out everything you ask and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I hate researching anything, and to have someone do this for me and find solutions and options that I'd never thought of myself- is truly magical. Thank you Natalie, as always.

WARSAW
06 December 2023
Warsaw Poland's capital city is a destination of varying architecture, it is packed with history, offers an excellent transport system and has a food scene to impress. We spent 3 nights exploring and this is some of what we got up to. 85% of Warsaw was destroyed in the second world war, the now rebuilt city has reminders everywhere of the bombing and destruction it encountered.

KrakWOW
10 March 2020
My friend and I had an open page when we were looking to plan a short trip away together. We quickly decided on Krakow, the flights were cheap and I knew of its popularity to UK guests over the past 2 years or so, so we booked in for 3 nights. We had decided Auschwitz and the Wieliczkca Salt Mines were a must and spent our first day exploring both. The Salt mines are a fascinating underworld 64 m
Florida without Mickey Mouse?
18 September 2019
Can it be done? Well in my experience it’s a resounding yes! I have been travelling to Florida regularly over the past 7 years and have only seen Mickey twice? This part of Florida to has no McDonalds, no fast passes, and the main attraction is the beach, the wildlife, amazing food and lovely people. Longboat Key is a true bolthole, it is located south of Sarasota on the Gulf Of Mexico and it is
Skiing in stunning Saalbach

This was my second visit to Austria skiing. Last time was Zell am See 12 years previously for my best friend’s wedding, this time with the same friends. We revisited Austria but this time to neighbouring Saalbach. There were 6 of us in our group, last year we went to Morzine but this time we were all keen to visit Saalbach after hearing positive feedback from fellow skiers. We flew to Munich, I

New York New York – so good I’ve been there twice! Like so many others, New York was a must-see destination for me. The sights and sounds of a city you feel you already know because of the movies you have grown up with, or if like me, it was Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Ross and Rachel that put New York City on your travel radar, the wonders of NYC are there to be discovered.

I have wanted to try this hotel for a number of years after having sent many families there over the years. It didn't disappoint. This is a high quality family hotel in beautiful Playa Blanca. Nothing was too much trouble, from the glass of champagne at check in to the concierge waving you off at the end of you stay! I have two young children. Neve almost one and Dillon almost four so we knew a
P&O Azura Short Break to Bruges and Guernsey
22 September 2016
The aim of this trip was to get my husband "on board" with cruising. Having done two myself and many ship visits, I am keen to go for it as my family holiday but I really wanted my husband to know what ship life is like and a short three night break was just the ticket. We were also celebrating our five year anniversary, so kids packed off to nana’s, we went in search of our sea legs. We drove
