I have been fortunate to have worked within the travel industry for over 30 years. During this time I have gained extensive experience arranging holidays to Europe and long-haul destinations as well as the ocean and river cruise markets.
My thorough understanding of business travel enables me to focus on the fine detail required to provide a seamless travel experience, from checking you in and arranging car hire for your onward journey to ensuring a hassle free journey allowing you to focus on the day ahead. I can expertly deliver the full range of corporate travel requirements from the smallest journey to more complicated itineraries, working with companies of all sizes to deliver travel plans within agreed budgets.
For the last 20 years I have specialised in bespoke travel arrangements. The holidays I arrange are incredibly important to me and I ensure you get the very best service and same attention to detail that I have always been proud of.
I've also had the privilege of organising hundreds of honeymoons and understand how important it is to have all the details taken care of so that after the wedding you can just get away from it all. It does not matter where you’re thinking of as I can help with any destination, such as the Indian Ocean, Vietnam, Thailand, the Maldives, USA or Caribbean islands like St. Lucia, Antigua and Barbados.
Family holidays are also a speciality of mine. Whether that’s a half term jaunt across the channel to Disneyland Paris or a holiday of a lifetime to Orlando or beyond.
I will enjoy the challenge of finding the best holiday to suit all your needs whether it is shopping, cultural or relaxing on a beach or even just flights to visit family and friends. We all work hard throughout the year and have high expectations for our holidays. I understand how precious they are and appreciate that they leave lasting memories. I will ensure these are fantastic memories. Let me help you add to these.

We contacted Rachel on recommendation. We wanted a trip to Canada to see the Scenery/Wildlife and “colours” of Autumn during September.
We had a great 3 week trip that ran very smoothly - we never had to be concerned about moving through 6 destinations. We had a perfect trip which met all our expectations & Rachel goes above & beyond to make sure that she delivers.

Rachel has been absolutely brilliant!! We had originally booked our honeymoon through Rachel, which sadly had to be postponed due to Covid restrictions. Rachel was so amazing with communication and helped us go through options as to what to do! She held on to our deposit which we were then able to transfer over to book a different holiday. We now have an amazing family holiday booked, which Rachel made so easy to do & she was so helpful with recommendations & options when booking! She really made it feel like nothing was too much trouble!

Rachel had made a couple of bookings for me to travel before these turbulent COVID times kicked in. The thing I like about the level of service Rachel provides is she knows me and what I like. She has moved a group holiday to later in the year so that everyone has peace of mind with no fuss or bother - plus she got us an even better deal. Superb service.
My other holiday with a friend, who is just as keen to travel as me, we have kept with the original dates but Rachel ensures we have regular updates. She's making sensible suggestions to us whilst keep a close watch on all the travel news and government guidance. I am very impressed with her attention to detail.
Having travelled with Rachel over the years I shouldn't be surprised by it or her commitment but she continues to impress and I have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone who will listen.
Thanks Rachel. You are a shining light in these dark days of holidays confusion xxx

I would like to thank you so much for the way in which you organised my recent travel arrangements with Travel Counsellors to Australia, to celebrate my 70 th birthday with my two sisters and their families.
Your knowledge and advice was so helpful throughout the whole booking process. I have never had such personal service.
My experience with high street travel agents has always been that one is signed off once they have received payment.
However, to my delight, Travel Counsellors was a completely different experience.
Your attention to detail in advising and assisting with best travel options prior to booking was invaluable.
In addition, your prompt ticketing, booking my chosen flight seat, and the tracking of my journey including the checking me in at both Heathrow and Perth airports, communicating by text whilst in transit, was just so helpful and reassuring.
It felt like you were alongside me at every stage of my journey as I knew that your service was only a phone call away if I had any concerns or needed to amend my booking for any reason. I cannot say how much reassurance this gave me especially when travelling on my own.
In fact I can truly say that with Travel Counsellors one never travels alone.
Thank you so much for making my holiday a just perfect and pleasurable experience.

I went to Rachel with a few details wanting to do a fly drive in USA. This is when Rachel worked her magic and produced and delivered a unique, amazing wonderful holiday. Rachel delivered unbelievable service, the holiday ticked all the boxes, she even got up at 3am to check us in for our flight home. Highly recommended Amazing service! Amazing lady! Thank you Rachel :-)

We recently used Rachel to source a hotel/ flight package that none of the High Street retailers were able (or willing) to do.
Rachel's dilligence and fantastic customer service are second to none. Absolute credit to the profession.
The icing on the cake being Rachel's ability and tenacity to broker a deal that was much better than the prevailing published price.
I would strongly recomend Rachel to anyone looking to take the hassle out of booking a holiday.

We had such an excellent level of service when we booked our holiday through Rachel last year that we decided to use the Travel Counsellor product and Rachel's services again when we booked our trip to the USA this year to celebrate our son finishing his GCSE's. We provided an outline brief of the cities that we wanted to visit and an idea of our budget and trusted Rachel to come up with the goods! Our trip was a huge success - everything we had hoped for, from perfect travel connections on the trains as we moved around four different US cities to the wonderful top quality hotels that Rachel had managed to book for us. Our son had the holiday that he dreamed of and we spent a wonderful time full of fun memories with our son before he gets too grown up and doesn't want to go on holiday with us oldies any more! An amazing holiday - the service that Rachel provides gets rid of the hassle and stress of booking and little touches like pre-booking seats and notifications about flight delays etc. make the whole travelling experience so much more enjoyable. Many thanks Rachel and anyone thinking of booking a holiday - I would advise you to use a Travel Counsellor and take away the strain.

I would like to thank Rachel for her outstanding service and for arranging my holiday to New Zealand with very little notice. The whole experience planning my trip with Rachel was simple, from the flight out to the flight home, and she listened and made changes where and when I wanted - even up to the week before I was leaving. Whilst away Rachel kept in touch regarding any important travel information and even allocated me good seats on the plane for the way home. The holiday was amazing from start to finish, great value and I will definitely be asking Rachel to help plan and book my next adventure!

Amy and I would both like to extend a massive thank you to you. Our honeymoon was fantastic and a lot of that is down to you. We fully appreciated all the communication that you had with us and were really happy to receive your postcard when we got back. You gave a very personal and efficient service and we would fully recommend you to our friends and family in the future.

Rachel has been booking and organising holidays for me since 2005. These have included far away trips to Hawaii and Kenya plus European trips including Germany, Hungary & Spain.
It has always been no problem with her to change dates, flights and source the hotel most suitable for our needs.
When we had to adjust a trip due to injury she rearranged everything so that we lost as little money as possible and kept our booking.
Our last trip teaching children to swim in Kenya required our itinerary to be changed several times, but Rachel pulled out all of the stops and it all went very smoothly. She even helped source a swimming pool for our teaching from a Kenyan local travel company.
We’d highly recommend Rachel!
