It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, thank you for taking the time to view my webpage.

I fell into travel as a profession accidently as it happens. In what was supposed to be a stopgap between a career switch, I found a position in a busy travel agency reservations department. That was 26 years ago. It turned out that was exactly what I loved to do.
During those years dealing with customer requests & enquiries, one thing stood out to me, above & beyond everything else, what is most important; I hear you, the customer.

Working collaboratively with the independent network of Travel Counsellors, I offer my own brand of impeccable personal service whilst leaning-into their reservoir of travel products. This enables me to select without favour to any suppliers, therein never be required to compromise on what is best for you. I have access to trade-level negotiated airline, hotel, transfer, tours, private jets, helicopter transfers; access to everything & anything travel related. I vet all products meticulously on your behalf so that all offerings meet your exact requirements & expectations.

In me, you have your own one-to-one personal travel assistant and fully ATOL licensed bespoke tour operator. I do the heavy lifting, all the stuff that slows down your life:- searching, speaking to airlines, speaking to hotels/villas, checking terms & conditions, making bookings, making special requests. I offer guidance on country-specific border restrictions & regulations so that you can travel seamlessly.

All payments are completely protected by Travel Counsellors' own unique trust-fund arrangement within Lloyds Banking Group whereby all monies paid are held & ring-fenced, so your travel plans & payments are fully secure.

I very much look forward to looking after you.

Colin Goh

Carole Cooper

Coalville

Oscar continues to impress me with his attention to detail, thoroughness, and the holistic nature of the service(s) he provides. I have used him for many years but not much in the last few, so it was a delight to re-connect and learn of the emergence of his concierge-style service for clients. I consider myself very fortunate to have come across Oscar in his previous travel advisor incarnation, and equally fortunate that he has only improved his service whilst retaining the personal, natural touch and style I have come to appreciate so much in a world that is increasingly becoming discount-driven and chat-bot led. Long may Oscar continue to be Oscar. RM
