Travel planned personally. Travel looked after properly.

Hello, I’m Tess – your personal Travel Counsellor and the person in your corner when it comes to your holidays!

For me, great travel isn’t just about finding a beautiful hotel or the best flight. It’s about taking the time to understand you – how you like to travel, what matters to you, what you want to experience and, just as importantly, what you don’t.

I’m friendly, approachable and easy-going, but I’m also a bit of a detail-obsessive when it comes to travel! I use my experience, knowledge and trusted travel partners to carefully piece together holidays that are personal, considered and completely tailored around you.

It’s the personal service that makes the difference.

When you book with me, you’re not left to navigate endless websites, reviews and booking systems on your own. I take the time to research, compare, advise and refine your trip – using my knowledge to help you make the right choices rather than simply giving you a list of options.

And my service doesn’t stop when you press ‘book’.

From our first conversation, through the planning and preparation, while you’re away and until you’re safely home again, I’m here for you.

That means one person who knows your plans. Someone you can come back to with questions. Someone who cares about the little details and wants your holiday to be everything you hoped it would be.

As an independent Travel Counsellor, supported by the award-winning Travel Counsellors team, I’m able to offer the personal relationship of a small independent business, backed by the expertise, support and financial protection of a much bigger travel company.

What you can expect from me:

• Personal, considered advice – based on you, not a generic holiday search
• Expert knowledge and attention to detail – so the important things are thought through
• Bespoke travel planning – from a relaxing escape to a completely tailored adventure
• Honest advice – including telling you when I don't think something is right for you
• Time saved – I do the research, comparing and organising, so you don't have to
• Support before, during and after your trip – because your holiday matters to me too
• A genuinely personal service – one person who knows you, your plans and your preferences

Ultimately, I want you to feel that your holiday has been properly looked after.

Whether you know exactly where you want to go or simply know that you need to get away, I’d love to hear what you’re dreaming about.

Let’s create something that feels completely you – and let me take care of the details.

If you are looking for the holiday of a lifetime, a business trip that's smoother than your presentation or just peace of mind when you travel, Tess at Travel Counsellors is who you need! From the moment we first spoke to landing back in the UK after a trip to LA, she was helpful, professional and went the extra mile. I can't wait to go away again so she can be a part of the experience. Thank you, Tess, you really are simply the best.

Our first experience for using a Travel Councillor and with using Tess Stuber our first experience was seemless. Tess booked us into a boutique hotel within the heart of Valletta Malta as a short city break for our wedding anniversary. The hotel was fantastic right in the heart of everything and within a stroll of some fantastic places to enjoy the local cuisine and fine local Maltese produced wines whilst watching lots of people also enjoying their own Malta experience. Tess also booked us onto a very informative walking tour which gave us a great opportunity to take in and understand the vast history of Valletta and further enhance our experience of this wonderful city break. I would not hesitate to use Tess to book us onto many more exciting travel adventures. Flights, transfers all sorted for myself and my wife we just had to turn up on time. Excellent service. Thank you Tess.

Friendly, knowledgeable and lovely Travel Counsellor From initial discussion with Tess, right up until our arrival at the hotel, Travel Counsellors have been there with their amazing and thoughtful counsellor, Tess Stuber. Great advice and reasonably priced. This is holiday number two for us with a third already booked, we cant imagine going anywhere else

Friendly, flexible, worked extremely quickly and out of hours. Plenty of contact. Nothing was too much trouble. Got the brief spot on.

Carolyn Giles

Plymouth

Tess was fantastic through the whole process of booking our holiday, she gave us different options and was patient when we changed our requirements. As someone who loves going on holiday but isn’t keen to trawling through websites to find the best deals, I loved having Tess to take away all of the frustration and stress of doing this. I can highly recommend Tess for her friendly, personal and professional service and will definitely be using her to book our next trip away.
