It's Nice To Meet You

Hello, and welcome to my webpage. I’m Tom, and I live in Kings Langley with my wife, two boys and our Welsh Terrier, Zac.

I have always had a passion for travel, and have had many years of experience in researching and booking our own holidays, from fly-drives in California and Christmas in New York, to weekend trips to European cities and beach holidays on Greek islands.

For me, every holiday has a common thread: its importance to the people who are taking it. My guiding principle, therefore, will always be to give every holiday I’m privileged to book the same care and attention to detail, so that customers are happy to return time after time.

As a Travel Counsellor, I have access to resources and benefits that other companies simply don’t. We have partnerships in place across the world, enabling me to book everything from holidays in the UK to round-the-world trips and everything in between.

So, with my experience and passion, let me become your travel counsellor, taking the stress out of booking your holiday and creating bespoke trips that will provide memories that will last forever. I’ll take care of everything for you; all you need to do is let me have a broad outline of your requirements and I will do the rest.

When booking with me, you will get access to -

100% Financial protection, through the Travel Counsellors Trust.

The MyTC app, which enables you to receive in one place all your quotes, bookings, documents and flight updates, and to make payments.

24/7 Support: we are on hand around the clock for any travel emergencies, no matter what they are.

So please get in touch with me today to talk about your next holiday, and we can begin to make those lifetime memories.

What my customers say

Would definitely recommend- excellent service

Dan T

Hemel Hempstead

Tom Sterling helped us greatly in booking an incredible 3 weeks multi-centre trip in Peru. Tom was very quick at replying and amending our itinerary, meeting us outside normal office hours to suit our schedules. We had all internal buses and transfers scheduled in advance which made the trip very smooth. Would definitely use again. Tom was also on hand whilst we were away for any niggles we had.

Matthew M

Berkhamsted

Myself and my partner had an incredible trip to Peru organised by Tom Sterling as our travel counsellor. He was very patient during the planning process as we decided on our route through the country and activities at each stop. He helped us by providing local advice which really made our trip special. Even when on the trip there was a slight hiccup with a hotel, he was on hand to help out. Would 100% recommend Tom to anyone!

Tom made the whole process very easy, from listening to our requirements and making sure that what he found us fitted our needs, he was also able to add in extra bits and recommend things we had't thought about. I would 100% recommend you use Tom for your holiday bookings!
