We are a family of 4 with little to no experience of booking a cruise holidays so I reached out to Nicola to ask if she could help us look at details for a 2026 Disney Cruise. We exchanged a few short messages of what we were looking for and preference on dates and cruise locations and Nicola set up a call for us to discuss further. She talked us through everything, from arrival, to dining, to sleeping arrangements. She is absolutely fantastic and so organised, our deposit is paid and we are looking forward to our 1st Disney holiday. Nicola is also helping us book a Lapland visit and has sent us lots of hotels, details and quotes...

The service Nicola gives is outstanding! She certainly gave her time to research the right location for our stay in New York next year. Nicola replied quickly to emails and even called late into the evening to talk to us. She organised a wonderful Honeymoon for our daughter 2 years ago to the USA, so who better than Nicola, to help us book our trip that we have waited many, many years for.

Ive had the pleasure of using the services of Nicola Graham as our travel counsellor for a trip to Mexico in January. Nicola is amazing, she goes above and beyond in her support and guidance on all things geographical and finding our way around the minefield of booking a holiday in the current climate. Not only is she there to go through all of my demands from a holiday, this lady works into the night to communicate and ensure that I had all of the details that I need to complete our trip. Nicola corresponded and confirmed to me outside of business hours, well into the night where others would not have been so attentive and efficient. I can highly recommend her and you should be proud to have her as a Counsellor. This lady works wonders to make dreams come true. Helpful, knowledgeable, experienced and very understanding to her clients needs. If anyone is looking to book a trip please give Nicola Graham a call at the Travel Counsellors.
