I can help organise anything from trekking in South America to watching Gorillas in the remote rainforests of Uganda. Or perhaps you would prefer to see the Northern Lights in Scandanavia?

Malaysia and Borneo

We flew with Turkish airlines via Istanbul to Kuala Lumpur. On arrival we were met and transferred to the four-star Traders Hotel which is located in downtown Kuala Lumpur. This hotel has a great central location and a fab rooftop pool and bar which serves drinks and plays funky music into the small hours. After a great night’s sleep, we took a half day walking tour around Kuala Lumpur before havi

I am lucky enough to have just returned from an educational trip to California and have to say have been totally blown away by this destination. California has something to offer for everyone, from hiking, walking, golf and cycling for the more active to beautiful beaches if you just walk to relax. Plus with an average of 325 days of sunshine per year! We flew direct to Los Angeles with Air New

In search of the Godfather - Sicily.

Taormina in Sicily is nestled high up in the hills and clings dramatically to the rocks overlooking the sparking azure sea. Taormina is a pretty, charming and bustling old town about an hour from Catania Airport but beware if you are travelling there by car it can get very congested, especially in the summer months. There is a cable car that connects Taormina to the lower seaside resorts below and

I was lucky enough to stay on this fantastic island with my family for 10 days this April. We arrived tired and jetlagged after an overnight flight from the UK and were met by 2 smiling and helpful representatives from Amilla who took us straight off to check in for our 35min transfer by seaplane to Amilla. They checked in our bags and gave us our tickets whilst we sat in their exclusive loung

What my customers say

Toni is brilliant! She is fantastic at working with us to clarify our ideas for our trips and what we want out of it. And she always is so prompt in her replies and always leaves us with plenty of contact numbers should we need any support whilst away. Fantastic!

Toni Ball was super helpful. I had received a couple of competitive quotes already and she kindly considered these and got the authority to match the quote. I was very pleased to give her my business. All the documentation I have received to date is informative and well presented. Very professional all round.

Morning Toni, Well where do I start FANTASTIC we had such a lovely break. We really needed one too. Our room was perfect great view, staff were amazing. Hotel was lovely and clean and everyone made us feel very welcome. Transfers were good too. In fact Liz and I traveled back to the airport in an open top minibus just the two of us. We’d definitely go again and are planning a trip every year ???? maybe New York next year ?? Thank you so much for organising it and getting it perfect. Wishing you a very Happy New year Love Jayne

Toni is simply the best, we had a vague itinerary in our heads but needed an expert to look up all the possibilities of hotels, trips, etc and put it together - and she did, brilliantly. She simply takes all the strain of choosing & booking a holiday away from us and relieves all that stress and pressure, allowing us to sit back, review and agree the final schedule and then look forward to an exciting trip. We have used Toni before and will continue to. ,

Just a quick note to say that we are back safe and sound from our US and Canada trip today, and to say a big big thank you. Absolutely everything ran like clockwork, and your meticulous planning was just perfect. I am so impressed. You took all the hard work away and left us with the job of just enjoying ourselves. Here’s to our next trip with you!

This is the first time that we have booked a holiday with toni who was highly recommended to us & it most certainly won't be the last....She has been absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process from start to finish.....from sorting out boarding passes,arranging car seats for our kids to making sure that we had a cot in the room for our one year old son & even taking the time to arrange & pre-book kids club sessions throughout our stay for the children should we wish to utilise the slots....to name just a few of the things that she has done for us.....A very professional, friendly service from Toni & we won't hesitate from recommending her to our family & friends. We look forward to booking our next holiday with Toni who we would like to thank very much so please pass our appreciation onto her. Mr Darren Smith

Toni was great! I have trouble getting away from my desk to make phone calls but it's been so easy to book our holiday with her. She has done everything for us and taken all the worries of my plate. Found us an amazing deal, gave us really good range of suitable options to choose from. I feel confident that Toni will be there if we have any bumps in the road too. I have been able to handle it all via email with Toni or the travel counsellors website. It was all done so quickly once we decided where to go. Amazing customer service and so convenient. We are really looking forward to our holiday! Thank you so much!

It's the first time I used Toni and she understood my requirements and put together an excellent package for my family. I have a very busy work life and trying to sort out holidays is time consuming and stressful but Toni took all the stress and time away. I am very happy person.

Toni provided us with a great service. Her product knowledge was impeccable, her recommendations valued, and her pricing competitive. We will definitely be liaising with Toni again and have already started recommending her to family and friends (she has already booked for a friend living in Singapore)

Toni was recommended to me by a friend of mine and she really took the headache out of finding and booking our family holiday. She spent time understanding our requirements and came up with the perfect solution, taking care of all of our needs from flights, to the perfect villa and our holiday transportation including car hire. I would certainly use Toni again and will be recommending her to friends and family.Thanks Toni for all your help.
