100% recommend Pedro to family and friends due to his knowledge of Thailand. He has put me at ease in wanting to explore Thailand on our family adventure at Christmas. He was able to put an amazing package together which I would definitely not have been able to do myself.

Pedro was excellent. We had one destination in mind but wanted to move on to at least one more.He listened to our likes and dislikes, quickly got a feel for who we were and came up with three fantastic itineraries. The hardest thing was choosing which to go for!! Pedro was there to speak to again and we quickly narrowed it down. We have travelled far and wide already but I have the utmost confidence in Pedro and can't wait for the adventure he has planned for us.

We have recently booked a summer holiday with Pedro. Having not been abroad for nearly 4 years, we were a little anxious in booking but Pedro made us feel at ease with his extensive knowledge on the Covid rules currently in place. Pedro found the most perfect hotel for us which met our criteria and even got us such a good deal, we are going for 10 nights rather than 7! We cannot wait for our holiday, thank you so much! Pedro really does go the extra mile. Don’t delay, book with him today!

Pedro always remembers my family preferences when it comes to holidays and is very diligent in finding not only great deals but more importantly providing us what we want rather than try and sell something that is not actually suitable.

I would highly recommend him and the App from Travel Counsellors is really good to monitor payments and somewhere to keep the holiday docs.

I met Pedro when I led an educational trip to Mauritius. What can I say, he is so knowledgable and has a wealth of experience in travel. I wouldn’t hesitate in booking a holiday with him, or recommending him to a friend. He is so passionate in what does and will always go the extra mile to find the best holiday to suit his clients. In Mauritius his dedication shone through, with early morning starts capturing the sunrises, to the dedicated note taking and learning which hotels would work best for holidays for both couples, families or friends. As well as a travel expert in other areas, he is also a great guy and will well look after all of your travel needs.

Pedro listened to the kind of holiday we wanted in Dubai & The Maldives and then suggested an innovative and well researched itinerary that included the right type of accommodation and excursions. In previous times we had booked everything over the web but it was great to have that personal touch; questions were answered straightaway and nothing seemed like too much trouble.
