Hello, I’m Becky – Your Personal Travel Counsellor

Based in the picturesque town of Ramsbottom on the edge of Manchester, I specialise in creating tailor-made, unforgettable travel experiences designed entirely around you.

I live here with my partner Dave and our two lovable dogs, George and Henry – the office dogs who love helping and are my loyal (and often snoozing) office assistants while I plan your perfect escape.

Luxury travel is my passion, and I’ve been lucky enough to turn that passion into a career. From a spontaneous weekend retreat to a once-in-a-lifetime round-the-world adventure, I’m here to take care of every detail, so all you need to do is count down the days.

Travel has always been in my blood. Since childhood, I’ve had a deep love for exploring the world, and I am incredibly proud to have now visited all seven continents, including Antarctica and the breathtaking beauty of the White Continent. I have recently returned from Australia, where I proudly ticked off my 7th continent.

With over 20 years in the travel industry, I pride myself on offering honest, personal, and truly tailored service to every client. My own adventures have taken me across the globe, from Disney cruises, ski trips, and city breaks, to magical moments in Lapland with Santa, and incredible journeys through Cambodia, Vietnam, Borneo, Australia, South America and many more. I’m also a huge Formula 1 fan and have followed races around the world.

From Malaysia and the Seychelles to Florida, Las Vegas, LA, the Caribbean, Europe, and the Middle East, I’ve built up a wealth of first-hand knowledge, and there’s nothing I love more than using that experience to help shape your perfect holiday. Closer to home, we also have our own campervan and in December I took my office on the road for six weeks, travelling and working through France, Spain and Portugal, experiencing life on the open road first-hand.

I take the time to get to know you – your style, preferences, travel dreams, and those all-important little details that make a trip truly special. No two holidays I plan are the same, because no two travellers are. I’ll take care of all the research, planning, and booking, treating your holiday with the same care and attention I would give to my own.

Your perfect holiday isn’t off-the-shelf. It is curated with care, insight, and a whole lot of heart.

So whether you're looking for a cosy night away or the journey of a lifetime, I'm here to make it seamless, special, and entirely yours.

If you are ready to start planning your next adventure, I would love to hear from you and help turn your travel ideas into unforgettable memories.

What my customers say

A fabulous trip through Vietnam We trust Rebecca to get our trip perfect- we have travelled for 3 and half weeks in Vietnam and Singapore. The holiday went smoothly with lots of location movement and regular communication with local guides.

Claire Illingworth

Manchester

From our first enquiry to our return home, Rebecca’s service was exceptional. She really listened to what we wanted from our first visit to Japan and created the perfect two-week itinerary. Her attention to detail was incredible, from regular updates and a good luck message on departure day to stepping in when a delayed flight meant we missed our connection. By the time we landed in Hong Kong, she had already rearranged our transfer. Every stop in Japan was well chosen: spacious, comfortable accommodation in ideal locations and clear, easy-to-follow travel notes that made exploring simple. Our dietary needs were fully catered for, with clear printed information for hotels and restaurants, which meant my son could safely enjoy Japanese cuisine despite needing to avoid gluten. Rebecca also remembered my son’s birthday and arranged a thoughtful gift, which made us feel truly valued, not just like customers. The tour guides she arranged were knowledgeable, organised and tailored everything to our interests. We were so impressed with the care and attention throughout. We have come home with amazing memories and a real desire to return, not only to Japan but to Rebecca for another first-class experience. We would not go back to a high street agency after this. Thank you for everything, Rebecca – we are hooked and cannot wait to book our next adventure with you. Janet & Theo

Thank you to our Travel Counsellor Rebecca for making our trip to the Seychelles a memorable experience. From booking our trip until arriving home we had Rebecca’s support, advice and help throughout. From rearranging our flights from the UK, ensuring our accommodation and ferry was rearranged due to missing our connecting flight and knowing she was there for any query or eventuality Rebecca was amazing and took all the stress away to ensure we could relax and enjoy our holiday. Highly recommended.

Rebecca is the most amazing travel councillor there is . We always use her services when going on holiday and from the first meeting to the departing for the airport she is always there with the answers to any questions we may have making it so easy . Here’s to next time.

James Waite

From the first contact with Rebecca I knew everything was in hard , could trust her with everything . Nothing is any trouble , all requests sorted and everything runs smoothly from the contact, throughout the holiday and a welcome home message . Rebecca recommended the place and holiday previously which we then did and enjoyed it so much we wanted to go back so we did. Lovely hotel , unbelievable breakfast, stunning location, private beach , infinity pool, great location for restaurants, beaches, shopping without it being too busy and ‘ touristy’ drop off is extremely close by to the hotel . All communication through jet 2 and travel counsellors was on point , causing no stress. A lovely cold breakfast provided on request ready for an early morning trip to Gibraltar. Another perfect holiday.

Yolande Carter

This was the second trip to the USA to see the World Cup Lots of flights and hotels hindered by bad storms and lots of lengthy stays in airports Rebecca really did go above and beyond for this trip, always on hand to help and advise, this is where using an experienced travel consultant really pays off This was a trip of a lifetime and we were free to enjoy every minute while Rebecca did all the hard work A huge thank you

Carolyn Frodsham

Made an enquiry with Rebecca for an birthday holiday. We discussed what was important, from resort to transfers, choice of room and type of hotel and Rebecca was thorough and tailored our holiday exactly as we wanted it. Always easy to contact with any queries before and during the holiday if necessary and really efficient.

Rebecca really gets to know and understand what we want and is then always available to support if needed. When we had an issue and had to cancel a big holiday she was able to move everything by a year for us so we don’t miss out on a dream trip to the gorillas.

We’ve recently returned from a lovely trip to the Maldives, all beautifully organised from start to finish. Everything ran smoothly, and especially with the current travel uncertainties, it was so reassuring to know she was there if we needed anything at all. Her attention to detail and wealth of knowledge really shone through, making the whole experience feel effortless and well supported. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her services.

Samantha James

Its only in the last couple of years we've started to go on holiday abroad. Covid & people's horror stories of last minute cancellations put us off. Rebecca is always there to answer any fears & is very helpful when I get in a tizz over something & her being easy to contact just makes it easier. I would definitely recommend her.

Jill Wilson

This isn't the first holiday that Rebecca has booked for us. She has done perfect holidays for us to Kos and Thailand. Trust me !!! Trust her !!!

Stuart Lever

My husband & I have just returned from the most amazing Vietnam adventure which we planned with Becky. As we do when planning any big trip to have the added reassurance. Everything was planned with meticulous organisation. Flights, transfers, hotels & excursions. A great balance of seeing the North, Mid & Southern areas of Vietnam staying in lovely hotels & excursions. Throw in the curve ball of the chaos in the Middle East meaning we couldn’t fly back via Doha as scheduled. Becky stepped in and found us alternative flights via Hong Kong & Shanghai to Manchester. This is exactly the reason why we book our big trips with Becky, you never know what might happen when you are at the other side of the world! Thanks again to Becky for planning an amazing trip our Vietnam travels! X

Claire Jarvis

Manchester

We cannot thank Rebecca enough for organising our recent family holiday to Thailand. From start to finish she spent hours finding us the right holiday and giving us great advice, with a friendly personal touch. Thank you

Shelley Mccarthy

Bury

Rebecca was recommended by a friend and I can honestly say I couldn’t do without her. She has arranged lots of holidays for us, family and friends. Last year we missed a flight connection and she was on the phone supporting us, rearranging trips, transfers and notifying the hotel. It is so reassuring when you book a holiday with her she is with you all the way from booking until arriving home. She is friendly, communicates all the time and will always try to find the best deal for you. I’m just so glad Rebecca was recommended to us we’ve had some great holidays and have lots more to come.
