I joined Travel Counsellors in 2015 as an approved tour operator with previous industry experience. I use my expertise and state-of-the-art technology to create and package holidays tailored to suit your personal budget and taste. Based in my dedicated home office I am linked to our Head Office in Manchester, where our duty team provide round the clock care and support, essential during these uncertain times. With access to over four hundred reputable suppliers, any trip booked with me carries both ATOL and 100% Financial Protection with the Travel Counsellors Financial Trust.

Whatever adventure you seek — be it long haul luxury—short city break—winter sport—adventure—cruise, no trip is too large or too small. Destinations my clients have travelled to include Australia, Brazil, Bora Bora, Canada, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Dubai, Ecuador & Galapagos Islands, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, India, Italy, Israel, Jamaica, Japan, Mauritius, Moorea, Morocco, Paraguay, Poland, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Tahiti, Thailand, Vietnam, Zimbabwe and many different states in the USA.

From hiking the Inca Trail to hot air ballooning over Cappadocia, I am fortunate to have travelled the world extensively. Please visit my blog to discover some of my favourite trips and personal experiences which have helped to broaden my knowledge of many destinations across the globe. You will also be able to view photos and memories kindly sent in from clients on their travels.

With my passion for travel, I treat every booking as though it were my own. I prefer to think out of the box when organising my own trips and will happily do the same for you. I will research your chosen destination thoroughly and put together a choice of options. I will also make you aware of passport, visa and health requirements as well as foreign office advice and am qualified to organise your travel insurance.

Feel free to give me a call to discuss your requirements at any time, including evenings and weekends. I will welcome you to my workspace but am also happy to meet you in the comfort of your own home and I never refuse a coffee. My office is rarely closed, and I endeavour to make myself available to my clients 24/7 throughout their trip.

I offer exceptional personal service for the discerning traveller, and you will have my undivided attention from the moment you make your first enquiry until the day you return. The success and enjoyment of your trip is my priority, with the hope that you become a regular client and recommend me to your family, friends and colleagues.

I would highly recommend Stacey. She put together an amazing itinerary for us and was even able to re-schedule everything at the last minute when the volcano threatened to erupt! I would definitely use Stacey’s services again, the holiday was great and she was easy to communicate with. Thank you.

Stacey did a great job in organising our multi centre trip to Vietnam, and within our budget parameters! In planning our trip she was very willing to look at and propose a variety of options to ensure she met our requirements. Once booked, Stacey also kept in regular in contact to advise us of modifications to our itinerary due to flight changes. The support we received throughout was first class and when the timing of one of our internal flights was moved midway through our trip, our itinerary was seamlessly changed. Stacey kept in touch throughout our trip and we had full confidence that if anything did go wrong, she would be at hand to resolve any issues. Our local drivers and guides that she organised in Hanoi, Hue and Hoi An and Ho Chi Minh via a local travel company were also superb (with back-up contact details) making our transfers between airports/hotels and other destinations very easy and stress free, and provided excellent recommendations for local restaurants! We would not hesitate to recommended Stacey, and indeed we have to a number of our friends.

Stacey is an amazing travel agent, her attention to detail is incredible and her knowledge so broad. We would not hesitate to use her services again, indeed we are, and would recommend her without hesitation. Our recent trip ran seamlesssly and it was not an easy trip to plan. She did not always take the easiest option, looking at ways to make savings whilst maintaining the quality and standard we were hoping for. Thank you Stacey

My wife & I asked Stacey to help plan and organise a tailor-made trip to South America. We had a bucket list of places on that continent that we wanted to visit but the amount of time we had for the trip made this unfeasible. With Stacey's knowledge - and patience! - we were able to create a manageable trip to Chile, Bolivia & Peru that incorporated the majority of must-see places. The pre-trip information was very detailed & informative and the logistics of travel/transfers between all the various places was clear. And it worked like clockwork! We were supplied with contact details for all the local agents Stacey had engaged with to plan the trip and these came in very useful. Equally, during our travels we were really impressed & grateful that Stacey was on call 24/7. We had to contact her on occasions and her response was immediate and solution driven. The trip lived up to expectations. We saw & experienced a multitude of South American cities, deserts, mountains and culture which will long live in the memory. All thanks to Stacey's diligence & perseverance .

We asked Stacey to help with arranging a 30th wedding anniversary trip to French Polynesia. The trip was quite complicated and expensive. From the moment we contacted Stacey she was incredibly helpful and professional. We had several choices as to which travel company we would book with. Stacey and Travel Counsellors came up with the best package and the best price. Stacey kept in contact prior to our holiday starting which was helpful as the Covid situation and changing requirements was something we needed to consider. The actual trip went off without any problems at all. We had the best holiday ever. We knew Stacey was available should we need her. Given the 13 hour time difference it was great to know that the support was there. I’d have no hesitation in booking with Stacey and Travel Counsellors again or with recommending them to others. Overall it was a brilliant service which only added to our experience. Thanks Stacey

Thanks so much, Stacey for planning and organising our recent holiday to Mauritius. As we’ve come to know and expect from previous holidays you have organised for us, everything about this trip was so well considered and thought out. Stacey, you really do put so much effort, care and attention into ensuring that we have a trouble free and restful holiday. When we ask you to arrange our holidays, we know that you have everything covered and, if there are any problems, our Travel Counsellor is only a phone call away. You really take the time to understand what we’re looking for and to find the perfect combination Mauritius was beautiful, the hotel was perfect??. We’re already thinking about our next holiday . We have no hesitation in recommending Stacey for any discerning travellers looking for that extra special touch. Paula and John xx

Stacey was organised, efficient and very helpful when booking our trip. She was always quick to respond to queries whatever time of the day. During our trip she kept us fully updated and in very difficult circumstances eased our return home, even providing a large amount of foodstuffs which were scarce by the time we got back. Would recommend without hesitation and will unquestionably use her services again. Thank you Stacey!

Stacey did a terrific job planning and booking our South America trip to Rio de Janiero for the Carnival and the Galapagos Islands. I gave her an outline of where we wanted to go and she planned everything perfectly. It all worked like clockwork - flights, hotels, airport transfers, guided tours and tickets for events. Stacey was there to support us during our trip when we had questions and really made this a trip of a lifetime. I would definitely recommend her to other travellers.

We have used Stacey's services on numerous occasions now and have never been disappointed. We often go to her with a rough idea of the type of holiday we want, and its location, and Stacey always comes back to us with numerous holiday suggestions which we have a pleasant time perusing. Once a holiday decision is made, Stacey manages the bookings and administration competently and swiftly and is readily available to answer any query. Once on holiday, Stacey guides and prompts via the very good TC App 'myTC' . On returning home recently, tired from a long haul flight, we were delighted with Stacey's welcome pack of food essentials, allowing us to ease back into everyday life without the need to hit the shops too soon. I would thoroughly recommend Stacey to anyone wishing to book a holiday, be it the holiday of a lifetime, or a short getaway. We will definitely use Stacey's services again.

Stacey planned our dream honeymoon. She provided us with really great recommendations, and understood exactly what we wanted from our trip. The whole honeymoon from start to finish was so well organised and seamless. It was a really special trip and we couldn’t have done it without her help. Every detail was thoroughly thought out which meant we could just relax and enjoy our holiday.

We were planning a family holiday in September when we were recommended Stacey at TC. When I spoke to her on the phone, she was really very friendly. She asked us what sort of things we like to do as a family and as my children are all young adults, she found us the perfect holiday resort in Marrakech. Everything was organised by Stacey, we didn’t have to worry about anything from airport transfers to our choice of rooms, dietary requirements at the hotel to excursions and the resort had so much for us to do. We all had a great time. It was exactly how we like to holiday! I love the travel wallet she had prepared for us with everything printed our boarding passes, itinerary, hotel booking info, ATOL cert - everything was in place! She even gave me some tourist books and recommended a driver for excursions. It was such a wonderful one to one service with Stacey. I will definitely book again and recommend family and friends. Very hassle things free and found us the best deal! It saved us a lot of time. She is definitely an expert and knows her stuff! Thank you for the warm service, Stacey x

Stacey did a terrific job of planning and booking a wonderful trip to Japan for me and my family this summer. Everything she did, from the advance planning and advice to the trip itself and the welcome pack when we arrived home, was carried out efficiently, professionally and quickly. Nothing was too much trouble and the trip itself was amazing - every aspect worked like clockwork - I wouldn’t have changed any of it. I would thoroughly recommend Stacey for your dream holiday and look forward to using her again.
