I have worked in travel since the mid-1990s and travelled extensively (at the last count I had travelled to 60+ countries globally). My experiences mean I am well placed to help plan your dream trips whatever they may be. My travels have seen me climb the Sydney Harbour Bridge, visit powder white beaches of Mauritius, The Maldives, the Caribbean and Zanzibar, safari in Kenya and South Africa, trek in rainforests in Thailand, kayak in Vietnam, iconic rail journeys in Canada, not to mention visits to many destinations in Europe, Africa and the USA.

As my client, you are truly at the centre of everything I do. I take time to understand your needs and find out what is most important to you.

Ras al Khaimah-The UAE done differently

Ras al Khaimah-The UAE done differently

It always gets to this time of year and I am craving some sunny weather...the winter is LONG in Newcastle. This time we chose a break to Ras al Khaimah which is just an hour outside of Dubai. Proximity to Dubai means it is easily accessible from multiple airports in the UK, but if you are wanting perfect weather with a slightly lower price tag than staying in Dubai, this could be a great option

Vibrant Vietnam

Vibrant Vietnam

A couple of years ago, I ticked off one of my bucket-list destinations with a trip travelling in Vietnam and to say it surpassed my expectations is an understatement. We flew from our local airport in Newcastle with Emirates Airline which not only was convenient with no long journey at the beginning and end of our holiday, the connection times in Dubai are so well organised to connect with flight

Amsterdam – A brilliant break any time of the year!

Amsterdam – A brilliant break any time of the year!

If you are looking for a weekend in a European city any time soon, Amsterdam should definitely be on your list. With KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flying to Amsterdam from most UK airports as well as it being a destination for many low cost carriers and British Airways, you can be there within an hour, so it is a great place to go from Friday evening to Sunday evening and not dip into that precious an

Morocco – City and Sea

Morocco – City and Sea

Morocco, the north African jewel that borders both the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. As a true melting pot that brings together Arabian, Berber and European influences of both France and Spain and Portugal, many travellers ask “where do I start?” For many Marrakesh springs to mind, but I would also like to share my experiences of trips to Casablanca too. One of the most important cities

Glorious Greece

Glorious Greece

Grecophile; One who is friendly to or is an admirer of Greece and the Greeks. That sums me up. Greece must be one of my all time favourite European destinations. Many of us are lured by the islands dotted throughout the Ionian and Aegean seas, but mainland Greece has so much to offer too. On our most recent holiday, we flew to Athens and stayed in the Kolonaki neighbourhood, said to be one of t

What my customers say

What an amazing city break to Amsterdam! Paul listened to what we needed, giving us plenty of options to look at we wouldn’t have previously considered. As a single parent traveller it is great to know someone is there should anything be needed before, during or after the holiday. Highly recommend

Rebecca Smart

York

Paul has been amazing. Really helpful and listened to what I wanted to find the perfect option. He was also very responsive and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend

I have used Paul's services many times and so have my family. I have passed Paul's details on to many of my friends who have also received a fantastic reliable service on many trips.

Katy Frizzell

Northampton

Paul was able to narrow down my search area and find options that I had not considered. The process was straightforward, and Paul was able to easily change the details as I made changes to dates, etc. As a result, I am really happy with the final option and am very much looking forward to the holiday.

I would score Paul 11 if it were possible! From first enquiry to walking through the front door after a trip, Paul is on hand to ensure all is well and when it’s not he does everything he can to fix.

Paul Sharp is just fantastic in every way. I’d honestly not book a holiday without him. Good listener so you get the experience you want, gets to know you over time and remembers what you like. Affordable and can hit tricky budgets. Excellent partnerships with companies abroad. And exceptional care when you are on holiday, checking you are ok and helping out if things go wrong. Just awesome

Paul does a great job in finding just exactly what I want. I feel confident & comfortable in the knowledge that I am not being scammed by booking it myself online & that if I need any help I only have to call or email Paul. Great service which I really appreciate.

Fiona Reilly

Surrey

Paul Sharp was brilliant at helping me organise my travel plans for my career break. He listened to what I wanted to do and also gave me really helpful guidance and practical advice. He seems to be a limitless fountain of knowledge! He helped me narrow down loads of options and found hotels and flights which met my very specific travel needs. I would highly recommend him!

Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for Paul. He’s professional but also like a friend in his approach. We would recommend and have done so knowing he would give his best. Thank you again for arranging our latest flights .

Jane Upton

West Haddon, Northamptonshire

We can’t recommend Paul Sharp highly enough. From the moment we first spoke, Paul was brilliant—reliable, attentive, and incredibly easy to work with. He always got back to us exactly when he said he would, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was how well he listened to what we wanted. He took the time to understand our needs, preferences, and budget, and came back with thoughtful, tailored options that genuinely reflected our conversation. There was no pressure—just a clear desire to help us plan something special. Paul brings not just professionalism, but a personal touch that’s rare to find. If you're looking for someone who takes the hassle out of travel planning and delivers outstanding service, Paul is your person. Thank you again, Paul!

Glenn Newman

Hackleton

This was our first ever experience booking a trip through Travel Counsellors and I am sure it will not be our last, due to the amount of knowledge Paul had of where we were going and on where to stay, plus the attractions we would to see while we are there! We are so looking forward to our trip knowing we have been guided by such a knowledgeable travel counsellor!!!

Ian Rennards

Great Park, Newcastle upon Tyne

Katrina Johnston

Oxford

I have recommended Paul to many of my friends and family and will continue to recommend him. He is so patient with me as and out so much effort into searching for the absolute best holiday for my family. Nothing is too much trouble, even during my holiday I know I have the reassurance that Paul is still there to help if ever I need him to. He is one amazing guy.

Maxine Radomilovic

Rutland

I have recommended you to quite a few friends already and will continue to do so Your service is excellent all round

Mary Flint

Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne

I'd happily recommend Paul. Due to medical and neurodivergent needs there is a requirement to have a clear understanding of travel and accessibility needs. I've attempted to cover this through multiple channels previously with little to no success. From the first email exchange with Paul, the complex needs weren't even an issue and everything was super simple and straightforward. You have no idea how this makes such a difference to someone like me. I'll be recommending to my friends in a heartbeat.

Caterina Notarbartolo

Northampton

From the first contact with exploration to booking, Paul Sharp has been exceptional. He takes time to understand the requirements and presents best travel options which makes decision making process easier, and takes away the anxiety of unknowns with his calm, attentive and assuring approach. This kind of personalised service is not easy to find. With Paul, I always have a trusted travel advisor by my side at every step of my travels to create memorable travel moments. Thanks Paul!

Jasmeen Kaur

Atlanta GA

Thank you so much for a completely trouble free booking fulfilled absolutely 100% to our needs.

Helen Dawkins

Bedford

I liked that Paul could tell me about places that I could visit, and provide extra information that I wouldn't otherwise know. Other travel companies just sell you what you ask for and don't go out of their way to offer extra information. Paul is also very responsive on emails and calls. Other agencies have long call wait queues. I also liked the MyTC app with all your package choices on, this allowed me to weigh up all the choices and make an informed decision.

Natalie Doughty

Northampton

Superb service, very flexible, professional, knowledgeable, friendly, highly recommended.

David Kidd

Ravensthorpe. Northamptonshire

Paul was very efficient and helpful with responding to my questions , even down to him accommodating me and my partner to sit together at short notice on our flights to Australia, which took the stress away from me doing this myself. Thank you very much for your help

Abbey Moore

Manchester

Paul helped arrange exactly what we asked for without any hassle. He was quick to reply whenever contacted. Having not travelled abroad for years Paul took the uncertainty out of it and put together a package that was perfect. Will definitely be using Paul again in the near future.

Paul is attentive to every detail required to make my trips seamless. On the odd occasion he is not available to answer a call, he always calls back at the earliest convenience. Customer service the way it should be. Well done Paul

I would not trust my travel plans to anyone else. Paul is professional and knowledgeable. And he actually cares so I know that be it a family holiday,or a business trip, I am getting his best attention always

Jane Pedersen

Morpeth

I’d recommend Paul because he has been so attentive to my travel needs as a wheelchair user.

Marlon Shepard

Wellingborough

Paul was amazingly helpful when our trip to India had to be rescheduled twice and ultimately restructured due to visa difficulties. The trip wouldn’t have been possible if Paul hadn’t managed it for us.

Omar Abid

Newcastle upon Tyne

Paul booked us the perfect holiday to New York! He’s been so supportive and helpful! Thank you for you everything you’ve done

Peter Ingham

Manchester

The booking process with Paul was smooth and easy. Our first time using Travel Counsellors, and we decided to, because a trip to Korea needed some careful research and planning. Paul took the whole thing out of our hands and planned a brilliant itinerary, taking into account all of our requests and preferences. We’ve already used Paul again for our next trip to Morocco

Carina Hummel

London

Paul at Travel Counsellors has organised several trips and always be very helpful and patient. I would definitely use his services and knowledge again. Thanks

Paul’s knowledge of travel and current situations regarding travel are second to none. I feel very confident that any trip I have planned will go without a hitch, but also very reassured that if it doesn’t, Paul will be on hand to help and assist with any issues 100%

Carole Wright

Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne

My wife and I have scored Paul 10 out of 10, because of the attention to detail that he has given in the planning of holidays for us. We enjoyed a worry and stress free holiday in Iceland earlier this year and expect our holiday to China to be the same. Our experience is that everyone at Travel Counsellors goes above and beyond the service normally expected of a travel agency

David Brown

Carlisle

No hesitation in recommending Paul to anyone. Very helpful, friendly and informative.

Cherie Smith

Peterborough

Excellent, professional and friendly service from the first point of contact. Paul offered various suggestions and provided all the relevant information along with the quotes I required. Due my busy work schedule Paul made himself contactable outside normal business hours. Would highly recommended Paul and will definitely be using his services again - thank you.

Darren Summers

Newcastle upon Tyne

As usual, Paul matched the requirements to what we needed. He was there to answer questions and issues we had while we were in Paris. I would always recommend Paul.

Nick Dent

North Shields

If I could give Paul a score of 11 out of 10 I would. He goes above and beyond to ensure all arrangements are in place and if things go wrong he’s there organising alternatives.

Jane Upton

West Haddon

Paul is fantastic. I have recommended him to many friends and family. Nothing is too much trouble, he is helpful and makes planning a holiday so simple. Right up to checking us in for our flights. It has made booking a holiday stress free. I also like the fact that I can call Paul at any time if I have any concerns about anything at all.

Maxine Radomilovic

Paul was very patient after repeated false starts trying organise a family trip. We would have really struggled without his help.

Omar Abid

North Shields

Omar Abid

North Shields

Great doing business with Paul, he went the extra mile to help us secure flights to Australia that suited our needs. As we became aware that seats were selling fast on our chosen dates, I called Paul well into the evening and he immediately got back to me and made our reservation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paul to family and friends, in fact Paul was recommended to me by family who have used his services before. Our needs were very specific, having an autistic son, I needed to eliminate all potential stressors on a long journey and Paul understood this and did his best to come up with a plan to meet our needs. Very happy and grateful, will definitely use Paul again

Julie Toyne

Northumberland

Paul organised our whole trip. He listen to our requests and came up with a fantastic holiday that covered everything we needed for a very reasonable price. He was constantly in contact with us to make sure that everything was going to plan - and even had a welcome message waiting for us in our room. To say that we were well looked after is an understatement - and more importantly, the whole holiday was fantastic. The airport lounges, seats on the plane, transfers, trips and the hotel. Just super - and everything went off seamlessly. Paul has exceptional local knowledge of different places, and I will never hesitate to use him again and/or recommend him to others. Thank you Paul

Natalie Cooksammy

Northampton

Excellent service! Super prompt responses to questions, friendly, warm and professional service combined with a superb knowledge of hotels in the area. I’ve already been recommending Paul to all my friends for their trips away!

Stephen Welch

Paul was very helpful with booking my holiday to the USA and also helping me the day before (which was a Sunday) to try and load the Covid-19 information that BA were asking for. He was always very personable on the phone and I never worried about 'phoning him

Elizabeth Morris

Newcastle upon Tyne

Paul, I just wanted to say how amazing you were at guiding me through our trip to Las Vegas for Daryl’s 40th birthday. Through Covid worries, insurance and flight changes, to picking hotels that would give us the experience we wanted, to on the ground help when our flight was redirected and we missed our connecting flight home. You were brilliant! I’ve never felt so relaxed when organising and being on a holiday! You were quick to reply and had exciting suggestions I hadn’t thought of. You provided a top notch service and I’d definitely recommend you to family and friends. Thank you so much

Ellen Hickey

Newcastle upon Tyne

Paul was extremely helpful and he really took time to understand what I wanted from my holiday booking. He offered a variety of options for-me to look at,with detail about every aspect of my holiday covered. He was professional and really gave me a sense I could approach him with any queries I had- no matter how small or strange! With the booking process being so easy too, it has put my mind at rest and with Paul’s expertise I know that my holiday will be fantastic! I would definitely recommend Paul and Travelcounsellors from the experience I have had!

Leeanne Thompson

Newcastle upon Tyne

Paul is fantastic at finding and booking the perfect holiday. He’s so efficient and knowledgeable and makes the whole experience easy and hassle free.

Donna Newman

Northampton

I recently had the absolute pleasure of asking Paul Sharp to arrange a trip for me to Bangkok. Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and going the extra mile for clients is what he excels at. My trip was a deeply personal and stressful one, but Paul made it a seamless process. From making sure I had arrived safely to organizing transfers and advice on COVID testing, nothing was too much trouble. He even checked in with me on my return to make sure I was ok and everything went as planned. So impressed with his service we have booked a family holiday to Thailand at Easter. Despite all the changes we had to make with recent world events, Paul was the superstar agent. If you are booking flights, hotels, holidays or experiences, Paul is your man!

Joanne Comer

Maidenhead

From start to finish, Paul was excellent. From booking activities, to the hotel, to the flights. I had so many questions and even multiple changes but Paul was extremely patient and helped sort everything out. All I had to do was pay. Booking a few holidays in the next year and will definitely be using Paul’s services again. Highly recommend!! Thanks Paul

Milan Shukla

Newcastle upon Tyne

We have been delighted with the service we have had from Travel Counsellors in general and Paul in particular. Our booking has been made really easily, and we have been impressed with the information received and the easy access to our booking details - it’ means we can forget about the holiday until we’re ready to go, and not worry about arrangements, as Paul has sorted everything for us. As someone who usually enjoys sorting out and arranging my own holidays, I can’t believe I’m writing this!

Julie Jacques

Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne

Paul was really helpful. He took careful note of our requirements and found really good options for us. He responds very quickly to emails, and has provided additional Covid information to make life easier for us.

Gillian Williams

London

Paul Sharp has been absolutely brilliant with us. I was pretty demanding due to Covid and asking lots of questions and constantly changing our minds on where we wanted to go. Nothing was ever too much for him and he answered the phone any time of the day. Equally fast with responding to any request over email. I cannot recommend Paul highly enough and will absolutely be using his services again in the future. Thank you Paul

Maxine Maughan

Berkshire

Paul has gone above and beyond in helping me re-arrange my holiday at very short notice, and made the whole process simple from start to finish. I would highly recommend him to all

Claire Holland

Northampton

I spoke with Paul this afternoon with reference to a query regarding a forthcoming trip, he was knowledgeable and reassuring about the procedures in place and the changes to come and really put my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Paul about any future plans or bookings. Thanks so much for your help today x

Linzi Gardner

Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Paul made choosing holiday accommodation and booking our stay so easy. We changed our minds about where we wanted to go, nothing was too much trouble for him. I would 100% recommend his services

Holly Greenwell

Newcastle-upon-Tyne

My Fiancé and I are getting married next year and had been recommended Paul for our honeymoon. After an initial chat on the phone, we knew straight away we were in not only safe hands but had found someone who genuinely takes pride in helping people plan their dream vacations. We felt like we had known him for years and he completely took onboard everything we were saying and what we wanted our honeymoon to look like. I am quite fussy and set the bar high (with no real destination in mind!) Paul sent through a variety of different options for us to look at and was extremely patient when I came up with reasons why they weren’t quite hitting the mark. Not phased by this, he worked super hard until he found us what we had been looking for. The whole process was extremely enjoyable and Paul took away the stress and got us really excited about our honeymoon. He is extremely knowledgeable about various destinations and also weather for the time of year your travelling. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

Tyler Anderson

Gateshead

My fiancé and I are getting married this year. With all the craziness going on in the world right now, we really wanted to have some help with booking accommodations and travel. We reached out to Paul for help with our London wedding weekend and our honeymoon to Singapore. When I contacted Paul I informed him that this wouldn’t be your everyday booking because I am a wheelchair user and therefore, have specific wheelchair user needs. Paul worked like a wizard and helped book our hotel in London in no time. Then, he gave my fiancé and I numerous options for making our bespoke honeymoon a masterpiece. In the end, he gave us absolute confidence in what we believe, will be the best holiday we’ve ever had. All in all, Paul paid attention to detail, he made us feel comfortable, he was courteous, he exuded confidence and made my fiancé and I feel excited about the whole process. Paul is the full package and I’d recommend him to anyone looking to book a low-key weekend away or a high-end sojourn around the world. Thanks Paul!

Marlon Shepard

Wellingborough

We are delighted with the amazing holiday Paul has put together for our New York trip - he spent time to really understand exactly what we wanted from our holiday and then came up with the perfect plan. There must have been thousands of hotels to choose from in NY but he hit the bull’s eye with his first recommendation and we all said “that’s the one”! Our flight requirements were a bit complicated but he sussed out the best way to do it with great flights at such good prices we upgraded. Paul took every element of stress out of our booking and came in nicely under budget. It would have taken us days to put this quality of holiday together. Highly recommended!

Sarah Clothier

Hathersage

I’ve just booked a 40th birthday celebration trip to Las Vegas for my husband and myself through Paul. It has been a wonderful, positive experience so far and I know he has our back in the run up to and during our holiday! I normally book my own holidays but I was feeling quite anxious about the prospect due to Covid and travel restrictions. Paul has been fantastic at putting my mind at ease, recommending suitable travel dates, booking flexi tickets and reservations and sorting us out with insurance that covers potential Covid disruptions. He has explored all of my ideas on possible combinations of hotels and given us numerous quotes. He has the patience of a saint! I feel confident and relaxed about our holiday and that Paul has our best interests at heart. Thank you so much, we can’t wait to go!

Ellen Hickey

Newcastle upon Tyne

When Lizzie and I decided to start looking for a destination honeymoon (yes, we are definitely getting married this year), there was nobody else we would have trusted to sort it for us. Paul has crafted an incredible holiday that is so right for us on so many levels. Booking a holiday in the midst of a pandemic may seem crazy, but Paul found us an amazing deal and gave us the confidence that our booking and our money are protected if things do not improve. Paul is one of life's good guys who will find you the holiday you really want

Craig Kidd

Milton Keynes

We had a Zoom call with Paul and he asked us the right questions to figure out what we wanted. We didn't want to fly too far this year, so with Paul's help we fell in love with the Ikos Dassia resort on Corfu and we are looking forward to 10 nights in an upgraded room in October! If anyone needs travel help, I really do recommend Paul to help you

Emily Mann

Southsea

Thank you Paul for all the extra effort you made to try and get us to Australia at this most difficult time and also for chasing our deposit when the airline cancelled our flights. You do an amazing job Paul, and I hope you will get us to Australia in better times

Elizabeth Standring

Northampton

I've used Paul to book a couple of holidays to date. Paul established exactly what I was looking for each time, made suggestions for room type, flights, and even seat selection, was able to submit any special requests and all followed up with communication promptly. Payments were easy and the TC app is great for checking everything booked. Paul came up with very competitively priced holidays both times, along with the assurances and comfort knowing that he will be able to sort things if something may need to change.

Malcolm Levitt

Newcastle Upon Tyne

I highly recommend anyone to use Paul for their travel arrangements. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and unfailingly patient. He follows up every request quickly and thoroughly and you feel like you are in completely safe hands. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

Marguerite Romney

Hayes, Middlesex

I can't thank Paul enough for his understanding and patience in organising our 25th wedding anniversary bespoke holiday in Lucca, destination choice as the home of Puccini, a favourite composer of mine. Paul listened to my (our) preferences down to hotel room, bedding choices, bathroom even and suggested an hotel converted from an ancient Palazzo into a contemporary hotel, the best of both worlds. Paul took time to gather several quotes, and reassured me at such uncertain times of forward booking a holiday. Thank you Paul, you're a gentleman. We can't wait to celebrate in Lucca. Grazie amico mio!

Christina Blaney

Seaham, County Durham

Paul has made planning our holiday to Canada an absolute pleasure! He really took the time to find out exactly what we wanted from the trip and even though our needs are fairly complex he quickly got back to us with a plan. His extensive knowledge allowed him to keep us on budget and make the most efficient use of our time away. He's even managed to find us business class seats for our flight home! We would thoroughly recommend Paul for his friendly "can do" attitude and will definitely use him again.

Victoria Edmondson

Jesmond

Paul has been extremely helpful and professional in putting together our holiday to Denmark. We had quite specific requirements, had conducted no research beforehand, and just relied on him to come up with the solution - which he did perfectly. His communication was excellent, he is very friendly and approachable he kept us up to date, and was flexible with changing dates and plans. I'm very grateful for how keen he was to get us the holiday we wanted. We are REALLY looking forward to August 2021. I will definitely use Paul again in the future.

Georgia Richards

Kent

Paul has been so helpful and knowledgeable in arranging all the details for our holiday to Tinos. Nothing has been too much trouble and even when we have changed our requirements he has made the alterations quickly and efficiently.

Alan James

Northampton

Really happy with the service Paul has provided and very comfortable that he has got our back if our travel plans need to change; that reassurance is really valuable in these complicated times
