My name is Safiya, otherwise known as Sophie, and I would like to introduce myself as your Travel Counsellor. Having been in travel for 23 years, I thought I would bring expertise to you, making your dream holidays come alive.
Having worked in travel so long I have travelled extensively including the Far East, Middle East, Caribbean, Asia, and many parts of Europe so I will share my personal experiences to help you.
So no matter how big or small, whether it be a flight, holiday, cruise, city break, honeymoon or any other travel arrangements, call me for a competitive quote.
I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my clientele the best possible levels of service and independent advice. Unlike the high street my business is totally independent which enables me to offer the best commercial deals available from the hundreds of suppliers we deal with, with the confidence of knowing that the products that I am selling are fully financially protected.
For all your travel enquiries, please call or email me at a time that suits you.
Please feel free to pass on my details to any friends of family who need help with their travel arrangements.

Sofie has been great with us and we are confident and feel reassured that she is organising our honeymoon and will go out of her way to exceed expectations. If I went with some other companies we had quotes from I would be nervous but now it's one less thing to worry about with Sophie on our side. We have chosen to use this company due to a number of factors which all lie on the splendid customer service we recieved from Sophie.

I can honestly say that booking a holiday package through Safiya was a very pleasant experience, it was very refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cared about our each and every requirement, she was extremely professional, had bags of knowledge and was able to make some excellent recommendations. There was no pressure applied and we were able to make a decision with ample time and support from Safiya. From now on all my holiday bookings will be going through Safiya and I will be recommending my friends and family to do the same.

Excellent service, organisation, recommendation, information, manner and assistance. We cannot thank you enough for everything you did for us in this booking. To have organised not only everything at this end but also with the hotel and the arrangements in the UAE were beyond the call of duty. This was as exemplary and perfect a service as could have been provided and no-one in our group has ever experienced anything close to this. Perfection. You are a credit to your company and the industry. They are very lucky to have you. Thank you very much from all of us.

Sophie has been amazing from the very beginning. Her voice always made me feel very comfortable and confident in trusting her with my honeymoon. Sophie was never delayed in any of her responses to me. The quotes were explained in great detail which automatically made me believe that Sophie was definately the right person to go to. The only critisism i would give is that it would of been good to know a rough cost of what i was looking for. I wanted gold for the price of silver but i should have been told from the very begininng that my budget is way too low and a lot of compromises may have had to be made. Overall, Sophie is an amazing individual. I would definately recommend her to the world.

Hi,
I would like to give my feedback about Safiya Sheth.
I have been booking my holidays with her for nearly 4 years . And I can only say one thing 'AMAZING SERVICE'. She has helped us to find great destination and packages. What makes her stand out is her dedication to resolving issues. In Aug I took my family to Abu Dhabi and the air line lost our baggage for the duration of our holiday, it was awful. Safiya was quick to help but the airline had the worst customer service , so she made sure our stay was perfect. I was grateful and she was still in pursuit of our luggage which came on the last day. My family was upset but she pursued the airline who compensated our flights.
I was surprised , not about the money but her customer relationship & service. She is a role model for your company. I work in wedding film industry and I highly recommend all my newly wed couples to book with her.
If there are any award/reward scheme, I would like to nominate her for best tour agent, customer service & excellent communicator.
She is an asset to your company.
Many thanks

Two weeks prior to my departure I received my itinerary from A&K Villas. The presentation and details were completely on point. I flew to Pisa from Stansted Airport on the 20/10/2019 on a two-hour flight. We arrived in resort and passed customs within 15 minutes - extremely fast and efficient.
We then collected our luggage and signed for our car hire pick up with Alamo on-site at the airport. D
We travelled in style with Cathay Pacific and Langham hotels from Manchester on a 11 hour flight that felt like a 5 hour journey. The inflight entertainment was amazing. I don't generally eat on a flight the food was actually really a surprise.
We arrived in Hong Kong with a group of 12 other agents not knowing what to expect, and an itinerary full for the next few days.

We flew with Virgin airlines, and checked in on-line which was hassle free. On boarding the aircraft it was great that the stewardess came round with a childrens funpack, and took photo's of the children for their memories of flying with Virgin. It was a six hour flight, the food was great, the children did not compla

We were in two mind's whether or not to visit Egypt as we had heard such mixed reports, but my oly advice is go for it!
We left home that morning and all I can remember was the rain! We got to the airport and boarded the flight. The best thing about this holiday was that I did not have to worry that I would be sitting on that flight for too long.
When we got to Egypt, the aircraft doors open
