It's Nice To Meet You
Hi my name is Sorrel and I'm a Travel Counsellor based on the Wirral. My goal is to ensure that you have a dream holiday and leave all the organisation to me, which I love to do as luckily my job is also my hobby!
This all stems from my passion to travel, as I've been very fortunate to visit and live in some amazing places throughout my life. My main area of expertise are Australasia, the Americas, and South East Asia (I even organised my own wedding in Vietnam).
My main focus is to fulfil your requirements of what you want for a holiday, facilitate all the arrangements, and to add in my personal input when needed to give you and your family the best experience possible. As a mother to two young boys, and a daughter to a disabled father (no I wasn't in Gladiator), I fully appreciate the complexities that travel may throw up, but I also don't see them as a hinderence to having an amazing adventure. I have a wealth of experience in tailoring trips to specific needs, whether that is requiring an accessible room, certain insurance, or even traveling with specialist medical equipment.
Whilst I am certain I can provide the best experience for you and your family, I also appreciate I don't know everything. As part of Travel Counsellors, I have access to a wealth of other travel experts, who like me, will have certain expertise that we all can use and collaborate to ensure a fantastic holiday. I still love to travel and build on my own knowledge of different places, either on family trips or the occasional solo adventure (sorry hubby), so I can put my money where my mouth is and give you an honest opinion and recomendatations on restaurants, sights or even just the best bus to take into town.
Sustainability is close to my heart, so you can be sure that every effort is made to make your holiday as responsible and ethical as possible. I feel using local operators is key to this, and helps travellers get the most out of their experience, whilst also giving back to the local economy and community.
I work from home and my local coffee shop, so contact me 7 days a week, anytime via phone, email, social media and WhatsApp.

We’ve just returned from two weeks in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, our first holiday arranged with Sorrel. From the beginning we were very impressed by her effective communication and prompt response to our request and subsequent queries. The holiday was arranged easily and quickly and it was great to have a personal advisor to deal with. She clearly has an in depth knowledge of travel matters and was able to provide very valuable support while we were away. Her helpful advice on how to make the most of our trip was a bonus as well. The holiday was excellent and we’d highly recommend Sorrel and Travel Counsellors.

Sorrell organised a holiday to Egypt for me, and the service was superb! She sorted everything, from start to finish. Normally, on a holiday, something will go wrong. getting a professional to organise everything just resolves that!
All the communication before the holiday was really informative, everything we needed to know was in there, so all I needed to think about was getting to the airport on time.
All the flights were booked, all the checkins were done, all the baggage was sorted and we even got a free upgrade!
The Hotels were organised and they had a special reception waiting, just for us.
On the penultimate day of the holiday, we had a reminder come through letting us know the exact time we were getting picked up for our transfer to the airport. This allowed us to plan our last day more comfortably and we got an extra few hours on the beach. - This was the most valuable thing! That small extra service that really makes a big difference!
I dont need to look elsewhere now. Next time i want to go on a holiday, I'll just get in touch with Sorrell, let her know what I'm looking for and she will sort everything! I will just need to pack my bags!
Great, great service!

I had a great time on my recent trip to Iceland, it was guided tour taken by Sorrel, there was a great mix of people and we all got on really well. Right from the start Sorrel was so helpful as always, keeping me fully informed on all aspects of the trip, and was available at all times to answer any questions. She was there at the airport to meet everyone and from that moment was on hand, till we arrived back in the Uk. I especially appreciated Sorrel's help with all the covid tests and paper work and nothing was too much trouble. I have already booked two more holidays with Sorrel as I am confident I will get excellent value for money , good hotels and suggestions for an interesting itinerary. I am looking forward fo hearing the details of the next guided tour .

Sorrel was fab! We gave her our brief and she came back promptly with 3 options for us.

Sorrel responded very quickly to our brief, with some brilliant suggestions and no question or change was too much trouble for her.
I am so impressed with Sorrel’s service I will be recommending her without hesitation.
We have booked 2 holidays for this year with Sorrel as this will also protect our potential options with the effects of the COVID 19 pandemic, she helped us to feel very relaxed, booking beautiful trips in these uncertain times.
Sorrel also arranges your own personal holiday options on a very user friendly app, so all the information and your suggested trips are available to view in one place.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant we loved our experience with Sorrel, she is an amazing travel counsellor, such a great service and one that I would urge anyone planning holidays or trips to use.
