Vicky is always great - from suggestions and then finding what might suit us. We had a lovely few days in Athens followed by a 7 night Greek island cruise. Can highly recommend Travel Counsellors and Vicky Babbs - thank you.

Excellent attentive advice and support, before booking, through booking and payment and right up to the holiday. Thanks Vicky!

Vicky helped us book a complicated itinerary we had planned ensuring a pain free and stress free trip to multiple locations in America using planes, trains and automobiles! All hotels recommended were perfectly located and whole trip was exactly what we had asked for and Vicky made the process completely hassle free. Could not recommend highly enough.

Vicky was an excellent agent and the trip was brilliant.

The most reliably accurate and efficient travel agent we have ever had the delighted to have met.

I've booked through Vicky many times and have not been disappointed by my trips! Vicky has always been efficient and reliable to deal with, patiently answering my queries and researching requests and possibilities.

Vicky is amazing, her knowledge of Thailand and her help putting together a family friendly itinerary put my worries at ease and the process has been so stress free. I cannot wait for our trip of a lifetime!

Vicky is always extremely helpful and puts together a professional package. Also, she is a good egg!

Vicky Babbs is an excellent Travel Counsellor. Vicky advised us on taking our first ever cruise earlier this year, which turned out to be fantastic. Vicky has now booked us on 2 further cruises. We wouldn't go to anyone else other than Vicky Babbs. Her attention to detail in making your holiday everything you want it to be, is superb.

Received fantastic customer service from Vicky. She is very knowledgeable and seems to have the knack of knowing exactly what you want from a holiday after listening to your rambling first conversation with her! Really helpful suggestions and very happy to help inform your final decision about hotels/places to visit etc. Would highly recommend anyone to book their holiday through Vicky, they will get fabulous support.

As always Vicky was helpful, patient and proactive with my questions and queries. The end result looks like being a fabulous holiday and I would have no qualms whatsoever in recommending Vicky to any one looking for a person to assist them with a trip!

Vicky remains our go-to agent because she is so helpful, accurate, knowledgeable and is always there to answer our question and get us out of any trouble we may be in. She is the most expert and reliable person. Well done Vicky and thank you

We have always found Vicky,so helpful. And we feel very relaxed in the knowledge that she always gives the best advice to enable us tho have a really lovely holiday .

Vicky is amazing. Nothing is too much trouble and she always finds us amazing holidays !

We have had the pleasure of Vickys assistance now on a number of trips including a family holiday to Australia, a once in a lifetime trip on the Orient Express and most recently a Mother & Son trip to Washington. Every time she has excelled in her support, advice and availability. I could not recommend her highly enough and will confidently book via Vicky any further trips we are lucky enough to go on. She is a font of knowledge and responds quickly with any changes to plans during booking and also to any problems arising after booking when those problems are completely out of her control.

Vicky has exceptional attention to detail and with years of experience and knowledge of the travel industry is the only person I would trust with my holidays.

Vicky is our “ go to” person for our travel needs. She always goes the extra mile in a most efficient & helpful manner so that we can travel many miles with confidence. We really appreciate her help & always recommend her to friends.

I wanted to say a HUGE thank you for the most amazing holidays, you’ve given us great times and have always been so wonderful to work with. We are so grateful, much appreciated.

We are extremely satisfied with the excellent professional advice provided by Vicky Babbs when looking at the various Caribbean cruise options through to confirming our booking with her. Since then Vicky has continued to be very helpful in giving further advice which no doubt will continue till our departure. We will most certainly be calling on Vicky Babbs' expertise when we plan our future holidays.

If I could score above 10 I would as Vikki has been incredible for all our trips and so fantastic with the refunds required during Covid. I recommend her to all my friends

Vicky is brilliant! From her timely response, to recommendations and truly understanding her customers needs. And an absolute delight to deal with and why I have recommended her to family and friends. Carol

I can't rate Vicky highly enough, she has gone over and above the call of duty!

Vicky's wealth of experience in the travel industry is second to none and her dedication to her clients makes her the go to person for our travel arrangements.

Vicky was very helpful in giving advice re. flights, finding suitable departure times and reserving my bookings while I made a decision.. This was the second trip Vicky has arranged a trip for me and I thoroughly recommend her and Travel Counsellors for their help with your travel plans..

Vicky is always really helpful and knowledgeable. She takes the time to understand the most important things to us when we’re booking a trip.

Always welcome the advice and service from Vicky. Excellent working with her.

Vicky is truly amazing - flexible, understanding. good humoured, finds outstanding holidays

Vicky continues to be the ideal guide and assistant in helping me achieve my holiday needs. She knows exactly the sort of hotels and flights I would like to take, therefore avoiding anything that is going to waste my time. She knows her locations and is able to give me fantastic insights into the areas that she is recommending.

Vicky makes the whole experience very easy, saving us both time & effort. She understands the needs of our family & only suggests locations/ accommodation she knows will work. We have recommended Vicky to all our friends & family.

As always, a great experience and very efficient too. Go Vicky!

Hi Vicky We have arrived back this morning and wanted to let you know we had the most amazing time in the Maldives. They resort was great - just what we wanted, totally relaxing for a whole 10days! We wanted to thank you for all you did in arranging this wonderful holiday which we will carry memories forever. From the moment we checked in at Heathrow on the 24th September to landing back this morning - everything went really smoothly! With kind regards Mark and June Auld

Thank you so much for all your help booking our first post-covid overseas trip and a trip of a lifetime for my children. Thank you for supporting us through the booking process and finding us a great deal. Maldives here we come!

Thanks Vicky, you’ve been an absolute star throughout all of this, would recommend you to everyone. Have a lovely Xmas

Goes further than that extra mile Vicky Babbs has been my Travel Counsellor for over 20 years. She is always helpful; always happy to put packages together; always flexible on itinery changes; and always there to solve any problems that may occur on our trips. Vicky has helped many of my friends plan their holidays over the years and they also speak very highly of her professionalism and friendliness.

Vicky Babbs our travel counselllor organised a family trip to Florida for us last year. It was a special trip to celebrate our joint 70th birthdays. Vicky was so knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip that we wanted. She organised flights at the best prices, found us fantastic accommodation and got us the best deals on park passes. We had everything organised and along with our children and grandchildren were ready to go last Easter. Then the Covid pandemic hit. The trip that Vicky had so painstakingly put together had to be cancelled. We had no way of knowing when we could fly to America again so reluctantly asked Vicky to organise refunds from all the different suppliers. It was no easy task getting refunds from all the suppliers but Vicky managed this and we we did not lose a penny. We would without reservation recommend Vicky and will be asking her to organise our next trip once travel returns to normal. David and Ruth.

Vicky is an excellent consultant, always ready to help in whatever way she can. She has got to know the sort of thing we enjoy, the type of accommodation we expect and has always come up trumps when booking for us. We have recommended her to friends who have been equally pleased with her efforts to find them the best deals on flights etc.

We have been using Vicky's services for many years and she has been brilliant! We have already recommended her to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Vicky was excellent throughout, I would have no hesitation in recommending her to friends and family.

Vicky has been really helpful during the booking process for our holiday to California. She has displayed an impressive knowledge of the area and her advice has helped us to tailor our holiday to our exact requirements. On top of this she works really hard to ensure that you get the best flights and accommodation especially when spaces are limited. I'd thoroughly recommend Vicky as a travel consultant.

Very friendly and professional service. I have already recommended Vicky to many of my friends some of them are already using her. I recently gave out her cards to neighbours and colleagues. Fantastic service, thank you.

I continue to use Vicky Babbs , and recommend her to friends and family, because the service she provides and her all round knowledge is so excellent.

Excellent, personal service from a knowledgable and helpful consultant. We will almost certainly be using Vicky again in the future and would recommend her to others

Vicky is not only fantastic in organising trips to unusual places but is wonderful and flexible in sorting out changes to itineraries and dealing with cancellations etc. due to emergencies (eg, getting home in the middle of a trip due to death or serious illness of someone back home). I have no hesitation in recommending her 5 star service.

Vicky is always extremely helpful and takes the hassle out of finding a holiday. Nothing is too much trouble, even if we decide to change our mind and not go with our first destination!

Vicky is the pinnacle of customer service. She brings understanding, empathy and expertise to the entire process of custom-building trips from start to finish and follow-up. This inspires well-founded confidence from us in whatever she does and arranges (particularly the fine details that make or break a successful trip).I have had, and continue to have, no hesitation in recommending Vicky to anyone.

Excellent, professional and personalised service. Vicky makes every effort to get to know the customer, their needs and then takes all the necessary steps to ensure that these are met.

Vicky is not only fantastic in organising trips to unusual places but is wonderful and flexible in sorting out changes to itineraries and dealing with cancellations etc. due to emergencies (eg, getting home in the middle of a trip due to death or serious illness of someone back home). I have no hesitation in recommending her 5 star service.

When planning trips with multiple destinations Vicky at Travel Counsellors takes the hassle out of it and makes it nice and easy.

Vicky was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic throughout. Crucially, she showed great patience when we constantly changed our thinking! The result is, we expect, a great holiday.

I don’t think I will ever book another direct holiday again! Vicky took the stress, research and hassle away from me. I had a good range of choice coupled with a variety of budgets. Vicky’s knowledge helped me choose my destination and made it just so easy. Amazing, I have already recommended her!

Vicky is an extension of our family when it comes to booking our holidays. She knows what we want, how and when and always delivers. Actually an extension of the family may be an insult to her!

Vicky was excellent, chasing me when I needed chasing and coping with my multiple changes in plans quickly and without complaint.

To book the absolutely perfect holiday contact Vicky Babbs - you just need to give her a list of your requirements and she will arrange everything, nothing is too much trouble and if you are not keen on the package offered then she will 'shop' again (even many times) to get you exactly what you want so that hotels/transfers/flight times and costings all come in on your budget. Vicky then gets all the paperwork printed and has even delivered same to me. In short, Vicky is a true professional, very caring and an absolute credit to her profession.

Vicky helped so much to find a holiday for my large family group. It was difficult but Vicky did not give up and we are all pleased to be off to Lanzarote next April. Thank you Vicky for your committment and support.

We have used Vicky to organise our holidays and flights for the last four years, so I can easily recommend her! Our first trip was a once in a lifetime holiday in Thailand, followed by a visit to family in Australia. Vicky gave us great advice and sourced all our (beautiful) hotels and arranged for all our transfers and visas so we didn't have to worry about anything (all our flight tickets arrived in a pack, with even our luggage tags all written and ready to go!) We had an amazing and relaxing break knowing everything was organised, and our experiences with Vicky since have been just as good - all with hassle free, excellent holiday arrangements!

I have been assisted by Vicky many times since I first used her services in 2009. She has helped me travel to many amazing places, Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Vietnam, Peru, Italy to name only some of them. She is really helpful and goes out of her way to get you the flights and hotels you want and she fits it all in within your dates and budget. If you have no idea of where you would like to stay you can always rely on her advice as she really does her research. Previously I would spend hours searching the web trying to find places to stay and trying to match it to flights. Now I simply supply Vicky with the basic information and then she dies all the work! To sum it up the service she provides is simply Brilliant!

We have been requesting Vicky's help with our holidays since late in 2015 when my daughter (who is herself very impressed with Vicky) was aware of how demanding our requirements for holiday destinations are and felt we would benefit from her services. She was right! So far this year Vicky has advised and helped to arrange a trip to the Grand Prix in Monaco and a wonderful fortnight in Menorca in the most amazing villa in a truly beautiful location. We have agreed that this was the most wonderful holiday we have ever had. She also arranged a weekend in Rome together with trips and tours which made the whole break a real treat. We are now in the process of asking her to help us with a Rhine River Cruise and an early summer holiday in Majorca. Vicky takes personal care to ensure that our needs are met. She goes out of her way to meet all our requirements and is quick to respond to any phone call or email we may send her. She is endlessly cheerful, patient.and very proactive. Vicky doesn't only find venues etc she pulls everything together for us and takes the grind and heartache out of doing all the arranging which turns the whole thing into a pleasure from start to finish. We couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Vicky has taken care of all of our vacation planning for several years now. Our demands are never particularly straight forward but Vicky is always able to deal with whatever we throw at her, from simple 3 or 4 night breaks to complicated multicentre adventures. We have always found her to be friendly, efficient, very knowledgeable and, above all, extremely enthusiastic. She has a real passion for what she does and that is what makes her excel. Vicky is undoubtedly everything you would want in a personal travel advisor and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Vicky was recommended to us by a friend (about 7 years ago), after using her we have recommended to many friends and family, all have agreed that she provides an exceptional service. Vicky has called up after some of my holidays to get feedback on how it went (how many other agents do that)? That extra effort pays dividends as Vicky provides excellent advice on how to tailor your holiday to meet your expectations. She's especially good for planning multi-destination and complex trips, I recommend her.

Vicky is quite simply amazing. For years she has consistently delivered us the most amazing holiday solutions, tailored to our preferences and budget. She's awesome. She has also been a star for people I've recommended to her. We can't recommend her highly enough.

We have always been very pleased with the service Vicky has provided for our travel requirements over the years. We like the choice of a few options that she provides, and she has always given us an accurate description on the place and area we have stayed. We would recommend anyone wishing to use Vicky. Her customer approach is excellent!

I can't speak highly enough of Vicky. Her customer service is superb and I have tested it fully with some very random and vague requests that she somehow translates into great holiday advice! I have used Vicky several times for both short breaks and big family holidays. We have never been disappointed.

From the great recommendations of hotels to all the arrangements for the holiday that are done for you, this makes for a stress free holiday. Would recommend completely.

This was our first experience using Travel Counsellors and Vicky was fantastic. Having given her an idea of what we were looking for on our first family holiday with our new baby, Vicky came back with some great options. She was quick to respond and extremely friendly and professional. I will definitely be contacting her again for any future holidays we book as the whole process was seamless.

Vicky has been a real godsend when booking our holidays. She takes the hassle and frustration out of wading through possibilities, and always comes up with something that fits in with our budget. We have always been pleased with the results and would recommend Vicky and Travel Counsellors. We are already looking forward to booking our next holiday!

I have booked a number of holidays with Vicky over the years. There are numerous reasons why I book with her and always recommend her to family and friends. There's the important stuff like knowing you will get good value for money and will not pay over the odds to have someone make all of your arrangements for you and for someone that has access to certain hotel and airline rates that you won't always find. However it's all the little things that I enjoy booking with Vicky; being able to pick up the phone and chat through various options and get sound advice when I can't make my mind up (she is very patient!), not having to worry about transfers and multiple hotels and flight bookings and payments, receiving all your travel documents in the post in one very organised wallet, having your luggage labels sent to you already completed for your outward and inbound flights! Thoroughly recommend booking with Vicky and Travel Counsellors and I am looking forward to booking another trip!

I have used Vicky Babbs on a regular basis for the last six years. My daughter and my sister have also used her services. We have always been delighted with the service we have received. Vicky is extremely capable at finding you what you want, whether it’s a sunshine holiday or a trip to New York. Our most recent booking was April this year. We had a week in Lanzarote with two friends. Vicky offered us lots of choices of accommodation, booked our flights and our transfers. Everything was excellent, the accommodation was exceptional and flights and transfers were on time and there were no problems with our holiday. We had a lovely holiday and we felt confident that if a problem did arrive that Vicky would fix it! Our friends were very impressed with Vicky as well. They shared our opinion of Vicky that she is easy to talk to and extremely helpful and very good at her job. I can confidently recommend Vicky if anyone wants help or advice in booking any kind of travel.

Vicky has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the world and has managed to put together some very exciting and keenly priced trips over the last few years for me. During that time she has made the effort to get to know my interests and therefore been able to suggest just the sort of things I would enjoy and how best to achieve those during a limited window. Vicky is excellent at listening to my varying demands and making sure that the trips that she organises for me meet all my different requests, getting me from place to place with the least amount of hassle and fuss. It is always reassuring to know that her steady hand is behind any planning she does and she remains on the end of a phone if there is a problem.

Vicky has arranged many holidays for us and we could not have been happier. Travel arrangements have been straightforward, every detail well documented, hotels have been luxuriously comfortable and all within our budget. Any problems that have cropped up have been quickly resolved. When away from home it is wonderful to be able to contact Vicky for help. Do not hesitate to let Vicky arrange your next break, you will not regret it.

I have booked travel arrangements with Vicky on several occasions now and wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Vicky has always provided a professional, efficient and prompt service. Coupled with her excellent first hand travel knowledge I know I can rely on her to meet my expectations every time.

I wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for your super service in arranging our holiday. You listened to our list of wants and went over and above to achieve them. Your knowledge of the area was excellent and your documentation was clear and concise. Planning a holiday should be an enjoyable experience but with so much to consider, it becomes fraught with choices. You take that pressure away and makes it a pleasurable experience from the very start. Thank you once again!

We have cruised and travelled with the help of Vicky and Travel Counsellors for some years now, and have been extremely satisfied with the service she provides. Vicky always replies promptly to our enquiries, supplies us with alternative contact numbers and emails for any emergencies we might encounter whilst travelling, and deals efficiently with all our needs. Her recommendations are sound, many being from her personal experiences of having travelled to the places herself. We would, without hesitation, recommend her to any of our friends and family.

What is there to say about Vicky other than amazing! When we look for what we want in our holidays I only have to call Vicky, mention a place and the rest is done. Vicky takes the time to get to know her clients, she knows what will work for them and what is not going to work. She guides you with her expertise, her knowledge and always comes up with the most beautiful resorts you could ever wish for. Asking Vicky to find you the perfect place to spend your time together takes away all the stresses of getting it right. We know from the moment we arrive at the departure airport the to the point we arrive home again... it will run just perfectly with the most beautiful resort, amazing transfers and excellent service with great prices. There is always a special touch in the holiday somewhere... Vicky always sees to that!

I would like to say that my wife and I have arranged many holidays over the years through Vicky Babbs and have always found her to be very diligent, knowledgable and well informed. She is a pleasure to deal with and very reliable. No holiday is too small for Vicky.

Vicky is a delight to deal with, her expert knowledge and experience along with her attention to detail means that we are always delighted with the service she gives us. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

My husband and I would highly recommend using Vicky as a Travel Consultant. She has booked and arranged two recent family holidays for us and both times she has gone far beyond what we considered to be the normal ‘good service’. She is very professional, friendly and really can't do enough to make sure her clients are 100% completely satisfied with their holiday. She is extremely well travelled and very knowledgeable when it comes to the travel industry. I'm looking forward to contacting her again in the near future so she can plan our next adventure as I wouldn't arrange a holiday without her now. Thank you so much Vicky! Jo and Lloyd Weineck

Thank you once again for organising my trip to Australia. As always you have provided a very efficient service and your knowledge of Australasia is second to none.

You can book with confidence with Vicky, knowing everything you have requested has been taken care of. Very professional, efficient and also very pleasant and friendly, no challenge is too great for her.

Vicky took the hard work out of booking a 'special' holiday.

Vicky has always provided me with excellent advice when I am planning my trips; accurate and timely paperwork about the trip once booked; and a first rate service when it comes to dealing with any problems I have when I am on the trip. Vicky is easy to talk to on the phone, responds quickly to e-mails, and take all the hassle out of organising my trips. What more could I ask for?

Dear Vicky, We had a fantastic stay at the Hotels that you recommended.. For us the accommodation is so important, had we not taken your recommendation our holiday wouldn't have been as brilliant. Thank you for all your time and effort into making this holiday for us absolutely brilliant and would not travel anywhere in the world before speaking to you first. Would recommend you time and time again, great value holiday, great locations, perfect hotels, most of all your worldly knowledge. Vicky we think you are great almost to good to be true, you are PERFECT just what we need. Thank you so very much

Responsive, reliable, knows her business, friendly and good enough for us to put our holidays in her professional hands.

Vicky is a brilliant travel agent, its a joy to deal with her, I cant praise her highly enough.

We have used Vicky to book our last few holidays after being recommended by a friend. Our holiday to Mexico last year was disrupted by the Volcano eruption and Vicky proved invaluable with re-arranging it for a later date. I'm certain that if we had booked a holiday through another company it would not have been sorted out straight away, like Vicky managed and we may have perhaps lost out. The venues that we have booked have been fantastic and the little details such as private transfers and Vicky's first hand knowledge of the areas have made the holidays just that little bit more special. I have no hesitation in recommending Vicky for a fantastic holiday!

We have used Vicky for all our travel bookings ever since she surpassed all expections in arranging our fabulous honeymoon for us. Her personal service goes above and beyond what is required. Dealing with Vicky is like dealing with a friend - she is willing to go out of her way to make any trip as easy, good value and in the case of our holidays, as memorable as possible. Thank you Vicky! K&P x

Time & again Vicky has proven to be professional, experienced & above all aware of individual needs. The service is always prompt, efficient and tailored. One always feels that the extra mile has been travelled by Vicky & any information/advice given is always sound. What more could you ask?

Time and time again Vicky manages to exceed our expectations by sourcing fantastic holidays. Vicky provides a prompt and efficient service offering her honest opinion and suggestions to make our holidays even more special. Her knowledge of the world is outstanding and she really takes the time to discuss all your families’ requirements. Vicky goes the extra mile which in her field I often find is lacking but she truly bucks the trend offering exceptional levels of service. I would highly recommend Vicky to friends and family and use her services on forthcoming holidays, in fact it would take a lot for me to go elsewhere.
