Tailor‑made holidays, expert advice, and support every step of the way.
Hi, I’m Rob and I‘m based in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham; gateway to the beautiful Cotswolds; thank you for visiting my webpage and for considering me as your personal Travel Counsellor. I look forward to helping you make special experiences and lifelong holiday memories.
Having moved to Gloucestershire from the north coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales to study for my Degree. I have since enjoyed over 25 years in the travel industry as senior manager of a prominent specialist tour operator.
No matter your travel preferences, I can personally tailor your holiday to your requirements; something that can’t be achieved through a website. I will combine the highest levels of customer service, a wealth of experience and award winning technology to plan your perfect holiday and I’ll be available at a time of day that suits you.
Be it a once in a lifetime luxury trip, an idyllic honeymoon, your family summer holiday, ski, cruise, beach, city break or UK staycation, I will listen and learn about what you want and create your holiday with a smile and a friendly face, saving you time whilst dotting every ‘i' and crossing every ’t’ before, during and after your trip.
I count myself lucky to have a career that has enabled me to travel and absorb the sights, sounds and experiences of our world’s cultures, traditions and attractions. My travels have taken me to 40 countries and over 150 worldwide destinations, with multiple trips to Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean and a variety of European Cities and coastal resorts. Taking the children to Disneyland Paris, my first African safari and watching the British Lions in New Zealand are stand out memories. I intend to add to this list and will take pleasure in sharing my experiences and recommendations with you.
I am a proud family man who enjoys the outdoors and lives family life to the full; volunteering as a coach for my son’s rugby and football teams. We’ve travelled as a family since the children were small and I can use this experience to make your family holiday a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Do you belong to an organisation wanting to enjoy your hobby or interest away from home? I am also an experienced group travel provider, so get in touch to discuss your ideas to enable you to bring your group together whilst you explore.
If a 100% financially protected, personally tailored and competitively priced holiday is right for you, let me be your personal Travel Counsellor; I very much look forward to having that opportunity.

Honeymoons and Me: Mauritius and Botswana; a classic combo: Part Two
Little Vumbura is a private luxury tented camp in the north of the Okavango. You will find that most camps in Botswana are tented as safari camps are built sustainably and they have to be able to be removed and relocated without having left a blemish on the environment. But don’t be disillusioned, a typical tent couldn’t be further from its reality. We occupied one of only 6 rooms in a camp eloq

Honeymoons and Me: Mauritius and Botswana; a classic combo: Part One
Starting married life with an amazing travel experience and a truly special honeymoon is high on many people’s agendas when planning a wedding and we were no different. Also, like many we wanted something memorable. We were mindful that the run up to a wedding is extremely busy so we would need time to relax before our adventure and it didn’t take us long to settle on the tried and tested Indian

Rome and Me: Six Nations, sightseeing and spaghetti!
As a lifelong rugby fan, a visit to Rome had been on the wish list for some time. In February 2017, we decided to have a child free city break to Rome with friends that would complete my set of visits to the ‘Six Nations Rugby’ destinations! I’d heard lots of good things about Rome as a host rugby city and of course its sights, culinary appeal and historical significance needs no introduction. T

We enjoyed the Heritage Tour which is an easy stroll through the first six caves; some of which
