I am so pleased and impressed by the service I have received off Sue Lever, Travel Counsellor. She has gone above and beyond for me and my family trying to find the right holiday for us all. She has given me a travel pack with some lovely touches from pens to sweets for the kids, to a TC teddy for Josh, complete with his own passport. Blown away by the service and wouldn’t go anywhere else next time I want a holiday ?? She even found me a flight to Belgium the day before we needed them and sorted everything out. Very impressed.
There is a misconception that it costs more money to use Travel Counsellors it simply isn’t true.
I would recommend Sue in a heartbeat, thank you so much xxx
