It's Nice To Meet You

Hello I am Trish - I’m passionate about travel and look forward to sharing my passion with you!

I take pride in going the extra mile for my clients to create the perfect itinerary to suit their needs. It makes me very proud that so many of my loyal customers make it their business to recommend my service to their friends and family.

3. FINANCIAL PROTECTION: When you book with me, every penny you spend is safe - no matter what.

4. 100% SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: I’m very proud of my customer satisfaction rating. Just take a look at my customer stories - the comments illustrate how pleased my clients have been with my service and knowledge.

5. WELL-TRAVELLED: I’ve travelled extensively in Australia, New Zealand, The Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Malaysia, Singapore, Burma, Laos, Thailand, India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Maldives, Mauritius, Indonesia, China, Seychelles, Egypt, Dubai, The Caribbean, USA, Canada, Alaska, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Russia and most of Europe.

One of my favourites places in Europe is GREECE, I have visited many of her beautiful islands but also done many road trips throughout the Greek Mainland and still visit Greece at least once a year - so if you need help with Greece let me know.

MINI BREAK TO JERSEY

MINI BREAK TO JERSEY

There’s a certain magic to Jersey—an island that somehow marries British charm with a hint of French flair. Tucked away in the English Channel, just 14 miles from the French coast, Jersey is often overlooked in favour of more familiar destinations. But spend a few days here, and you’ll wonder why it ever flew under the radar. It’s a short flight of approx. 1 hour depending where you fly from… but

Going via Etoloakarnania made the journey most interesting, winding country roads with hardly any cars in sight and amazing scenery and views.

We had a short break to Wales during July which I wanted to share as it is something closer to home for people who want a staycation. Normally finding a beach with miles of untouched sand during the school holidays is unheard of but it does exist.

What my customers say

I've been using Trish a very long time , she's always been professional and very helpful with all our needs, nothing is to much trouble for her.

Mr Austin

Oxfordshire

Trish, Thank you for all your help and assistance in arranging our holiday to Bali and Australia which we really enjoyed. Sue and I would like to acknowledge your professionalism, care and continued help during the re routing of our flights due to the conflict in the Middle East. We really appreciate you keeping in contact with us, providing all the necessary information on the revised flights, checking in information together with the associated hotel bookings. Thank you again.

P WILDISH

UK

We’ve been booking with Trish at Travel Counsellors for over 15 years, and she’s been amazing every time. From the US to Australia, Greece, Turkey, Norway and across Europe, every trip has been seamless with great hotels. If anything ever comes up, Trish and her team are always just a phone call away and ready to help. We wouldn’t book with anyone else.

Mr and Mrs Evans

Leicestershire

Excellent both my friends and myself use for both long haul and short haul holidays and everything has been superb. From the initial thoughts through the planning to the holiday itself.

Mr German

Leicestershire

Trish & Travel Counsellors once again knocked it out of the park! An amazing 3-centre break in South Africa with every aspect of logistics, accommodation and activities being first class. Having Trish involved from end-to-end makes the whole experience of planning, booking and going on vacation such a pleasure.

Mr Ainsworth

UK

Trish is amazing and always finds the best holidays and makes our travelling experience so easy. We have used her services many times and will continue to do so. We have also recommended her to our friends who have also had a great experience from Trish. Trish is friendly, experienced, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Mrs Keightley

Melton Mowbray

Trish came highly recommended to me and I can see why. We had in a mind a two destination trip to the west coast of America which was a bit of a budget breaker, when Trish listened to what we wanted to do (see whales in the wild whilst also getting the sunshine) she suggested an alternative one destination trip. A range of hotels and options were offered with different prices. We ended up having an absolutely brilliant time, fabulous destination and non stop service and help from Trish along the way. We’d only used high street package holidays before so didn’t know what the difference was, thought it would be more expensive but that wasn’t the case. We will be going back to Trish every time and are already plotting our next holiday.

Helen Richardson

Lincolnshire

Our first time booking with Trish at TC and it was an absolute breeze. Her customer service was second to none, always available to answer queries and check in on our arrangements going above and beyond with special unexpected touches too. When you purchase a holiday you hope the service lives up to the memories you wish to make, and our recent trip to Lapland was nothing short of a bucket list adventure executed exceptionally. So well organised from start to finish we all relaxed and enjoyed every moment available to us! Highly recommend Santas Lapland and the Star Artic Hotel that Trish arranged for us! 5* all round …thank you for the core memories that will last a lifetime!

Mrs Gascoine

Leicestershire

Just Fabulous. It was a complex trip, but everything was well-researched and presented simply. No question before booking was too much trouble; it gave us a lot of confidence to book this trip. All the documentation before travel was straightforward, and Trish took care of a lot of admin before and during the trip. The travel connections work brilliantly. The hotels were fabulous, the experiences amazing, and Trish even booked the sun!. It was also nice knowing an expert was back home "watching" over the details just in case we needed anything. All in all, a complex trip made simpler for us by Trish. We will definitely use again and recommend without hesitation.

Mr Withnall

Nottinghamshire

If I could score higher I would, have used Trish for over 15 years and wouldn’t even look anywhere else Total professional and super helpful and knowledgeable.

Mr P Russell

UK

Trish was absolutely brilliant; nothing was too much trouble. We ended up going to a different destination given her knowledge of what we were after which meant less hassle and lower cost. I will definitely recommend her to friends and clients alike, she was already recommended to me - the best way to be introduced to someone.

Mrs Richardson

UK

Appreciation post for @trish4travel Trish is simply the best! She’s organised so many wonderful trips for us and always takes the stress out of planning. Instead of endless searching, she finds exactly what we need, gives us a super handy checklist before we go, checks us in, keeps an eye on delays, and even sorts thoughtful extras like birthday cakes. She somehow manages to think of everything—she’s even reminded me to put on suncream when it’s cloudy! Every holiday we’ve taken with her help has been smoother, more relaxing, and so much more special. I honestly can’t recommend her highly enough—every trip is better with Trish!

My mum used Trish as her travel counsellor and recommended her to me. Trish was so helpful and knowledgeable about destinations for the time of year we were going. She sent lots of good options and nothing was too much trouble when we were changing up our honeymoon and what we wanted to do. She was super friendly and I would definitely use her again for another holiday. Thank you for your help :)

Now we have come down to earth from our amazing honeymoon I would really like to thank Trish Griffiths for everything she did to make our dream holiday a reality, I would highly recommend Trish. Trish booked fabulous accommodation, a 5 star experience with transfers, and a seamless checking in and admin service. Our ask wasn't an easy one! Mauritius for a week then a flight to Cape town and Trish made it happen, giving us options, alternatives and local knowledge helping us create an exciting itinerary while respecting our budget. When we had questions Trish was always on hand. We will absolutely be using Trish for all our trips! Thank you!

“We were introduced to Trish’s services several years ago and she has helped us with many holidays. Her wealth of knowledge on holidays is second to none and her level of service is outstanding. Trish tailors her advice to your familly’s requirements and is accessible at all times, even when you’re the other side of the world and its 3am in the UK. Trish goes way above and beyond and is much more than a travel agent. Trish is a credit to Travel Counsellers and is a one stop shop for holiday needs, as she takes care of everything for you, allowing you to focus on enjoying the holiday. We really cannot speak highly enough of Trish and would recommend her to anyone who appreciates expertise and added value. Trish is an absolute star!”

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say a huge thank you for helping us with our wonderful holiday in Mexico! It all went very smoothly and we had a fabulous time - the resort is a real find if anyone else wants to head in that direction, the staff are super friendly, there's loads of space, its' very clean,lots of options for food and drink and it was a very pleasant surprise to find that we could use the facilities of the adults only resort next door, which we did, quite a lot! Thank you for finding this for us and for arranging everything, we're so grateful, we had the best time!

V Ainsworth

This is the first time we have booked a holiday with Trish & after sending her some very vague requirements Trish came back with some fantastic options & within a few days we have booked a holiday! Lovely to deal with, very professional, friendly & is super passionate about travel. We will definitely recommend her to friends & family.

J Shaw

Very approachable, timely & professional. Very trustworthy.

H Morgan

We could not wish for a better travel adviser than Trish. She is very knowledgable and always available for questions or advice. She always offers alternatives and the best options available. It is also very reassuring that she is always at the end of a telephone or e-mail to help with any problems that may occur while away, we can not recommend her highly enough.

Mrs Bennett Claas

Leicestershire

Trish has been absolutely amazing from start to finish. Immediate response regardless of when I contact her! She sourced every possible holiday aspect that I enquired about. Trish is wonderful and I’ve passed here details on to several people!

Angela Moore

Trish Griffiths organised an excellent New York break for us. The hotel was in a brilliant location, flights were excellent and I found Trish to be very responsive to any queries or advice requests made. I will definitely use Trish again in planning future holidays.

Kevin Billson

Melton Mowbray

I very quickly felt safe and comfortable with Trish sorting my travel plans. I usually find my own flights and hotels for business and leisure but having been introduced to Trish through a friend I thought I would let go, entrust an expert and at the same time make my life a little easier. And wow, so far 100%. 2 big trips planned and booked with no fuss or bother. Trish quickly sussed me out, what I might like etc and worked her magic. I didn’t even have to check in and with a busy lifestyle I so appreciated the checklists and reminders. Thank you Trish, can you bring out a loyalty card or something because I am pretty sure I will be relying on you for every trip!
