This is my first time using Travel Counsellors. I have been extremely pleased with the service from Nick Webster. I wanted a relaxing holiday with my daughter at a lovely hotel and got exactly what I wanted. Everything ran very smoothly, hotel was wonderful. Everything was perfectly organised for me and sent in a lovely wallet. Nick checked in to see if everything was ok whilst there. We had a fabulous time. I hope to come back to Nick again for future holidays and would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thank you Nick for organising a wonderful holiday.

Nick Webster is the best travel agent I have ever purchased from. He was so patient with never pushing us in to making a decision. His first priority was always to make sure we got a good deal and we’re happy with what we were purchasing, this is unlike what I had from other travel agents who seem more concerned with their target or getting the sale. Nicks after care was great too from printing all documents checking us in on both legs and also making sure we were looked after when we had a medical issue abroad. I cannot recommend him enough and have already passed his details on to many friends. Thank you Nick

Booking and organising a holiday can be quite stressful, booking with Nick wasn't. He takes all the stress out of the booking process and did everything he could to make it the perfect holiday for us (celebrating our ruby wedding anniversary)
nothing was to much trouble, he was available to answer every question I asked,

Then any other questions I had since booking he replies instantly. The paperwork he sent through was so simple to follow.It really is the little details that make it.. writing our luggage tags out for us. Including some little wooden personalised tags. Leaving us a note in each destination wishing us a happy honeymoon. Even whilst we were away I had a question and again answered within minutes.

Fantastic!!!
Gave Nick a call late summer told him was interested in going out to Antigua early 2019 to watch the test match... no dates at this stage but we spoke about hotels etc. Dates for the tour came out at 0730 one morning and by 0800 I had flights, hotel, transfers and everything all sorted!!! Now if that isn’t a fantastic service I don’t know what is. All my confirmation in different folders so everything was organised. Arrived Antigua to a transfer which was waiting at the airport to the hotel and on arrival he’d left a little message in the room as a thank you. The professionalism is second to none, no hassle whatsoever and any query you know he’s there which puts you at ease.
I will never ever forget the trip I’ve just been on through Nick, it really was the best holiday of my life so far!
For anyone who hasn’t had the privilege of booking a holiday or even a little city break away with Nick you need too!!!!
I’ll be back!!! 100%!!

Home after a superb holiday in Reykjavik, Iceland. Anyone looking to go away at some point in the future then I’d definitely recommend Nick to sort it all for you. Completely stress & hassle free even to the finest little detail. 10/10

Booked a trip with Nick to Iceland, told him where I wanted to go and what trips I wanted to do, sat back and chilled out.
No fuss whatsoever.
Where you normally book a holiday through travel agents and get dumped at your hotel with a rep often only available an hour or so a day it’s great to have a 24 hour service from someone who can be trusted to give you the best advice there is!
I highly recommend Nick from Travel Counsellors no matter what your trip. I’ve recommended him to friends and they completely agree with me!
Keep up the good work!

I normally do all the research for my trips, but decided to give Nick a brief and book everything for me.
Such great service, which is sadly missing in todays society! Really nice to be looked after, and all the details taken care of for you.
Oh and the holiday? Perfect!

Nick was recommended to us by a friend who had done a similar holiday. As my husband usually sorts all our holidays himself we weren’t quite sure what to expect.
Nick was very helpful from the start as we wanted to do a safari holiday but didn’t quite know where to start. He listened to our requests and planned us the perfect safari lodge followed by 5 nights in Mauritius.
Everything went very smoothly great seats on the plane smooth private transfers beautiful lodge followed by a fabulous hotel by the sea. Nick was always available to answer questions he kept in touch while we were away to make sure all was well. A welcome letter in both places and a lovely bottle of wine to welcome us at our hotel.
Thank you so much for organising this special holiday for my husbands 60th birthday we will definitely be asking for your help again in the future and would recommend Nick Webster and Travel Counsellors to everyone.

Well where do I start?
This is the first time we have used Travel Counsellors and I sincerely hope it’s not the last
From the initial booking stage we felt at absolute ease and had full confidence in Nick our Travel Counsellor.
If we had a question at any point he was straight back to us and more often than not had actually dealt with our question before we had asked it!
It was my daughters birthday whilst we were away and I mentioned this to Nick and his reply way “I had seen that, leave it with me”.
The day of her birthday, she received a full, personalised birthday cake, a card from the resort, a message from Nick and a happy birthday serenade from the staff when we went to dinner- absolutely perfect!
To say Nick went above and beyond would be an understatement as he sent us a message to say he would be on annual leave for the last few days of our holiday but gave us the contact details of 1 of his colleagues ‘should’ we need anything? A couple of days later (on my daughters birthday) he sent us a message (whilst on his annual leave) to check everything was ok?
I cannot thank Nick enough for all he did for us and for sure will recommend Travel Counsellors to all who will listen!
A HUGE Thank You for making our holiday AMAZING!

Totally recommend Nick to anyone - whether you’ve got a destination in mind or not. We’ve just returned from an amazing holiday at The Grand at Moon Palace, Cancun and Nick’s service was personal and top class from start to finish. He contacted us regularly during our time away and got us a great deal too, which is obviously important. He even managed to sort us some macaroons in a white milk chocolate box in our room when we arrived! Amazing! Will definitely go to him again next time we’re looking to book.

Absolute tip-top service from Nick from the moment we first contacted him with an enquiry about an African holiday to the moment we landed safely back in the UK. Nothing was too much trouble for him (even when I had late night panics about such a big trip - he was there). The Commodore Hotel in Capetown was wonderful - a full VIP treatment from the minute we arrived and then a full luxury package at Pumba Private Game Reserve. Everything about this trip was a perfect dream - the flight seats, the private transfers, the accommodation. I wouldn't be surprised if he'd arranged the sunshine too!
You're amazing, Nick, you made our dream come true and turned our holiday into an adventure!
So much better than a high street travel agent. Thank you ever so much.

Nick I would just like to thank you for the time and effort you put in to making Shelley's 50th birthday holiday trouble free. With the exception of the weather (which was out of your control) we had a great time. Couldn't complain about any of our accommodation, the car hire or flights. I found it so much more personal having you a phone call away and with you being in touch regularly prior to the holiday was so reassuring.
Thanks again. I keep plugging you and the company and will certainly give you a call when/if I can afford my next holiday.

Making Memories: The Joys (and Realities) of Travelling with Kids
Travelling with children isn’t always smooth sailing—but it’s almost always worth it. As a travel consultant and a parent, I’ve seen first-hand how family holidays can become the backdrop for some of life’s most treasured memories.
Whether it’s building sandcastles on a sun-drenched beach, spotting dolphins on a boat trip, or simp
Hong Kong was a place I always wanted to visit. Just fascinates me when I have seen it in many films..
On the way to Borneo we decided to have a few nights here to break up the journey. For this trip we decided to fly with British Airways from Heathrow on the direct flight. Arriving into Hong Kong in the afternoon we booked a Family Room in Kowloon which was perfect for us.
With only having a fe
When it comes to Mauritius you may well be surprised at the value this island offers in comparison with a like for like Summer Med destination.
Travelling in our summer (August) is actually winter in Mauritius. Some may argue that this is the best time to visit as it actually has less rain than the Summer months. As our family are not particularly sun worshippers this offered us a great time to v
It's been over 25 years since I was last over in Florida so was really excited to see how much had changed over this time... In reality not much, they still have plenty of my favorutie restaurants and shopping malls that I remember visiting as a kid!

So we finally booked a holiday through our son Nick - our first ever cruise and we went posh and booked a suite. What a wonderful experience and we were pampered big time.
We chose the Celebrity Silhouette UK cruise for 6 nights. We just wanted a short break away after a stressful two years and to celebrate last year’s 40th wedding anniversary ???? and I wanted to see the sea. That’s what Nick
Like many of my clients, this was our 4th attempt and also 4th different destination for our family holiday this summer. So what's it like to travel during these strange times armed with certificates, vaccination proof and 4 kids, let me tell you...
First and foremost I had taken our eldest to East Midlands Airport 48 hours prior to departure as he needed a negative antigen test to enter Greece.
Having visited Thailand the previous year as a family with 3 children aged 5, 8 and 10, we decided this year to be a little bit more adventurous and book a twin centre holiday to Malaysia. The Thailand trip was very much a dry run to see if the kids could handle such a long flight with connections and pleased to say they did so well, so without hesitation we booked to visit Kuala Lumpur for a few
After a fantastic and hectic summer with the kids we always like to try and squeeze in an annual Mr and Mrs break. Some adult time to recharge our batteries shall we say.
This autumn we decided to visit the beautiful city of Ljubljana in Slovenia for a couple of nights. With direct flights available from Gatwick and Stansted we opted with the latter due to the flight times along with making sur
So having been to a few longhaul destinations when it was just Mr and Mrs it was time to take the kids on their first longhaul holiday. Kids ages were 4, 7 and 9.
We had decided on Thailand as the weather is very good in March and it's always good to get a bit of sun during the cold English winters. Aiming for a family resort we settled on Phuket, as we thought it would be perfect for the kids.
They said the Maldives Islands wouldn't be about for much longer when I last visited for my honeymoon back in 2006. They are still there and still as beautiful as ever by speaking to friends who have visited them recently.
I was lucky enough to spend eight days on Rangali Island and at the five star all-inclusive Hilton Hotel and Spa.
We had already spent a week in Dubai so it was a short hop
For our family holiday in 2016 we decided to visit the island of Kos in Greece. Did you know that there are 6000 islands or islets that are scattered around the Greek coast, 227 of them are inhabited?
This were our first visit to a Greek Island and we were not disappointed. Having three children of ages 3, 6 and 8 the only requirements from them were a waterslide and a hotel on an all-inclusive
