It's Nice To Meet You
Hello!
My names Vikki and I’d like to wish you a very warm welcome to my Travel Counsellors page, from my office based in the wonderful North Somerset, Portishead. Although I can assist you no matter where you are based in the UK or overseas (I have an ever growing Swiss client base too).
I want to bring my endless passion and experience as a professional travel agent with 34 years’ experience to help you create your holiday dreams in a way that no other travel agency can!
So why trust your holiday plans with me?
Just over 34 years ago I decided to follow my dream of travelling the world and so started working as a travel agent, and every year my first-hand knowledge and experience grows to help you.
During this time, I have travelled extensively over the world including places such as Australia & New Zealand, The Far East, Caribbean, Middle East, The Indian Ocean, North America, Africa and Canada.
As well as beaches, cities and cultural destinations I have also skied all over Europe and North America and have spent 2 Christmas' in magical Lapland with my very excited kids, this has enabled me to establish myself as a bit of a Lapland expert. I am also a Club Med expert, being one of their top sellers in the UK and have been skiing and on beach holidays with them myself. This is quite unique and niche product and something clients really need some advice. I have also been to Florida with my 10yr old Son so am perfect to help you plan your Disney and Universal trip. I have also experienced my own bucket list trip of the South African road trip and Safari, where I was lucky to stay in Richard Branson's private game reserve!
I am very well-travelled in Canada and this is in top number 1 destination for me, along with New Zealand which is just stunning.
Having a 19 and a 13 year old to help me discover the world, I understand the issues with finding that perfect family holiday and I enjoy meeting the challenges and requests my clients throw at me!
I find working as an independent travel agent from home enables me to give you an unrivalled level of service and choice, something you will not receive on the high street. I offer a bespoke personal service to ensure all your travel arrangements, be it a package, tailor made, cruise, flights, hotels, car hire or even arranging your attraction tickets, will exceed your expectations.
We deal with an exceptional amount of suppliers, many of whom you'd never find by looking on line, and wouldn't find in a high street agency, as well as all your traditional suppliers. We really can create some amazing itineraries with unique experiences and I really do love including ideas that are outside the box! Many of my clients will know I love a challenge and thrive under pressure.
I also have a number of business clients who rely on me to organise their company travel & are always pleased I'm available for them outside of regular office hours, as well as having our 24/7 duty office for help if I'm not available.
So what are you waiting for?
Simply pick up the phone and give me a call or e-mail me with your enquiry.
Please do give me a follow on social media, Facebook Travel Counsellors Vikki Coe or Instagram is vikkicoetravel
I look forward to turning your next holiday dream into a reality.

I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help with the arrangements for our trip. We had a fab time, and absolutely loved California.
The only slight exception was LA, but the hotel there was great so we chilled out lots by the rooftop pool. We’d been very busy up until then so it was a welcome break! The Gypsy app was a brilliant recommendation. They’ve recently released a Big Sur one too, so we also downloaded that. We got a lot from it and it helped us to see the best bits in the time we had.
It’s whetted our appetite to explore the US a bit more, and now that we have some Virgin points left we’re planning on seeing where else they could take us! New Orleans perhaps.
Thank you again for all your help.

I had always booked my holidays directly and never thought I required the help and advice of a travel agent or counsellor, but that was before I was introduced to Vikki! Vikki has organised two holidays for me so far, one was a ski trip to Méribel in France in December 2018 and the other was a stag do to New York in January 2019. I can say without any hesitation that both trips (in their own way) were absolutely incredible and provided everything we wanted and more. I would highly recommend using Vikki to anyone, she really knows her stuff and is a pleasure to work with. I have already started planning my next big holiday to Hawaii for my honeymoon in 2020 and Vikki will 100% be the person I go for this .

When I decided I wanted to take my little boy to Lapland for Christmas I knew instantly that I would contact Vikki. She was very knowledgeable on the various destinations and I am glad I took her advice and opted for a more traditional location (Saariselka). The area is extremely picturesque and has everything you need for a stay including the most amazing toboggan run. Vikki was able to give me some top tips about clothing and things to take and following her advice the whole trip went smoothly. Nothing is too much trouble with Vikki and she will work her socks off to make sure you get the trip you want. She helped me book the trip of a lifetime for me and my Son and we made some amazing memories. Thanks so much Vikki!

From our initial consultation, follow up meetings, phone calls, booking trips, top tips and the final ticket hand over - we knew that we had put our faith in the right person. Her enthusiasm, passion, professionalism, knowledge and attention to every detail, ensuring that everything we wanted was covered, was more than I have ever experienced with any high street travel agent.

We had a great holiday to Florida earlier in the summer. We'd left it fairly late to book but Vikki took lots of time to find us some great accommodation, well timed flights and gave us advice on things we'd not thought of. Plus a few personal treats for the kids as well. Easy and clear communication, explanation of travel documents (that I definitely don't think you'd get on high street or online) and answered all my questions (some daft ones) clearly to give peace of mind. Top trip.

Vikki has organised a couple of wonderful holidays for us so she was the obvious choice when it came to booking our honeymoon. She has taken time to really get to know what we like and we were so confident that she would find us something special and she did not disappoint! Paradis Beachcomber really was paradise. Vikki made sure the staff had been briefed well in advance for my rather complicated dietary requirements and we were met by the chef on arrival to make sure everything was perfect from the moment we arrived. The room was gorgeous and very special on the beachfront with stunning views. The entire resort was beautiful but over and above everything the hotel staff were really amazing. Their attention to detail and joy in making sure you were well looked after was second to none, we couldn't fault it. We totally fell in love with Mauritius and while we usually enjoy the adventure of visiting new places we have made an exception and will definitely return to Paradis Beachcomber one day. Thank you Vikki for organising the perfect honeymoon full of the most magical and unforgettable memories!

I told her I would be travelling on my own and she made sure that the coach trip I would be on travelling through the Rockies would be with the same people throughout.

Wow wow wow! Just returned from the most wonderful holiday we've ever experienced. Two weeks in Thailand was what we were after, mixing a few days sightseeing with total relaxation and boy did Vikki Coe, our Travel Counsellor get it right!
Every aspect of it was well planned and thought out for our total enjoyment. Stayed at The Banyan Tree hotel in Bangkok and had a reservation at the sought after Vertigo restaurant with its spectacular views - also an upgrade to one bedroom suite was thrown in. Then on to the Dusit Thani hotel in Krabi which was pure paradise best room again with sea view - stunning.
Apart from all of the above the great thing about booking through Vikki is that she does all the hard work for you - it would have taken me ages to try and figure all flight and hotel reservations and she just seems to know, no doubt from all her experience, what is right for you and all of this for practically the same price as two weeks in The Canaries! Can't wait to go back next year - thanks Vikki.

Hello Vikki,
Just thought I'd drop a line to say how much we enjoyed our week in Italy. Weather was far better than expected, only had one stormy day on 27th. Hotel was excellent and staff very good with personal touch. Hotel laid on regular free bus trips into town which took around 20-25 mins to walk.
We did the usual excursions and took the train to both Pompeii and Herculaneum. Latched on to a decent sounding guide who already had a small group (15 euros) once we had paid 15 euros entrance. Went for audio guide at Herculaneum as it was much smaller. Would recommend both trips.
Capri was lovely and avoided organised excursion so took rapid ferry at 28.50 euros return and just mooched around.
Would recommend the opera night at the local museum. All tenors were excellent, and event held in upstairs room with about 100 or so seats. Singers accompanied by enthusiastic and top quality pianist, violinist and cellist.
Very good hotel restaurant which we went to twice. Due to decent weather the hotel sky-bar was just still open and went there twice. Their final night being on 25th. Naturally excellent views across the bay.
Thanks for recommending this hotel and sorting out the booking so promptly.

We had no idea which island or where to head, Vikki advised us on two of the islands that were best for what we were looking for - Kona and Kauai which were both different but fantastic. Hotel was perfect. the transfers, flights, car hire all very well sorted.
The other was Canada which we have just returned from, again everything ran very smooth.

Just back from a fab trip to Vilamoura in The Algarve thanks to Vikki. First time we'd used her and wouldn't hesitate to do so again. Ticked every box that we'd asked for and everything went perfectly to plan. We just told Vikki what we wanted and how much we wanted to spend and then she came up with 4 fab ideas and we just picked one. Saved me hours of my life trawling the Internet, which for me is absolute hell! All we did was turn up and enjoy ourselves. Thank you!

We have just arrived back from the most amazing holiday in Dubai and Australia and I wanted to take the time to let you know how much we appreciate the planning you put into it for us. You went above and beyond simply booking the holiday, ensuring every detail was taken care of.
You thought of everything and were on hand whilst we were away with answers to our questions. Also arranging trips and car hire for us whilst we were away, meant we didn't have to spend time organising and had more time for fun!
We got to experience some amazing times, and only because we booked ahead! Our stay at Rottnest Island in WA was out of this world, and after speaking to other travellers it seems we were extremely lucky to have got to stay on the Island as most we spoke to were unable to as everything was booked.
Thank you so much for arranging a smooth, easy and exciting holiday of a lifetime. I have no doubt had we tried to do this holiday without your expertise we would have wasted precious time whilst over there not having the knowledge you do.

Excellent service from Vikki. Was prompt and covered everything we wanted and at a great price. Have already given two people Vikki's card. I hope they get in touch.

We went to Trailfinders to book this holiday but they didn't listen to our requirements or help us make a decision on which hotel to choose in Vegas. Vikki did both. She also got us excited about our trip by offering additional insight into the resort.

Vikki expertly organised our trip to Salzburg to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary with an old school friend and his partner. As we couldn't fly direct from Bristol out of skiing season it necessitated flying into Munich where we stayed for 2 nights, a train journey from Munich to Salzburg for four nights and a return journey staying at an airport hotel in Munich before our departure. We had a fantastic time at both locations and it was made all the more pleasurable as it was all arranged for us right down to transfers and tickets and everything ran very smoothly.
In the end with Vikki's help we had a two city holiday and one which we will never forget. Vikki took time to fully understand our requirements and it really was a personal and tailored service that was second to none and covered by travel assurances so plenty of back up should things not work out. Peace of mind is a great thing when you are on holiday. A true professional and knowledgeable in the travel business you can certainly put your trust in her and we will be doing just that in the future. Thanks Vikki.

Fantastic personal service, attention to details is excellent and very responsive to any request or change that we made however stupid or trivial. Great job all round - cant wait for the custom trip of a life time to America we designed together.

Vikki has held our hands throughout all the bookings (literally) and also booked parking for us as we are so techno phobic. Everything is explained in detail and it makes the whole experience easier and we know the holiday will be amazing. Couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you. X

Mini Brazillian adventure, Rio and the Countryside!
05 November 2025
Brazil Beyond the Beaches – My Journey with Encounter Latin America When most people picture Brazil, they think of Rio’s golden beaches, the thundering Iguazu Falls, or the famous Christ the Redeemer gazing down over the city. And yes, I ticked off those postcard moments — but this trip went far deeper than that. I was lucky enough to join a small group of fellow Travel Counsellors on an incredi
6 crazy nights in Thailand!
28 March 2018
I was lucky enough to win a trip to Thailand hosted by Emirates and Centara hotels. I visited in March. Following a great flight on the A380, where I was pleasantly surprised by the leg room in economy, it was on to our first hotel for two nights. We stayed at the Centara Grand Ladprao, Bangkok. The hotel is a long way out of the city for holiday makers, so I’d only recommend this hotel for bus
5 days in Kefalonia without the children...Bliss!
14 November 2017
Flew out of Bristol with Easyjet for four nights in Lassi, Kefalonia, without the kids! The first fantastic thing is Lassi is only fifteen mins from the airport, so even though our flight arrived late it wasn’t a huge issue. We stayed at a lovely little simple self-catering property called the Simatos Apartments. Wonderful location, only a ten min stroll to the beach, three mins to the bars
Launch of Ovation of the Seas, Royal Caribbean
21 March 2017
In April 2016, my husband and I went on a four night mini cruise with our best friends aboard Royal Caribbean’s new ship – Ovation of the Seas. The ship is huge, like nothing I've seen before - and I've seen many ships. I really was wowed. She's based in Asia for the Far East itineraries and the signs are in English and Mandarin, with a Noodle Bar instead of Johnny Rockets. We opted to st
Christmas in Lapland.
10 October 2016
At the very last moment (2 weeks notice) we decided to treat the kids to a holiday of a lifetime by taking them to Lapland for Christmas. We went on the 23rd Dec and returned Boxing day and travelled with Santas Lapland who are part of Esprit. I sell Esprit a lot to my skiing families and I was interested to experience them myself, as well as experiencing Lapland, again is a destination I sell
Family trip to Dubai for Half Term (May).
15 June 2016
We visited Dubai as a family (kids ages 4 and 11) for May Half Term. I’ve been before with work but many years ago, so was really excited to re visit after all this time. We travelled out of Heathrow with Qantas on the A380 and I have to say I was very disappointed in their economy class, the seats were very uncomfortable when compared to the Emirates A380 economy, so I’ll always recommend bei
Mauritius team winners trip...business class with Emirates!
15 June 2016
I was lucky enough to win a place on a team trip to Mauritius. We travelled in May, and flew with Emirates. I flew out of Birmingham and experienced the Emirates Business Lounge which was great with free flowing drinks and lovely food. The flight from Birmingham to Dubai was on an older 777 but Business class on here was good, although the configuration of 2/3/2 meant you had to climb over some
Holiday of a lifetime in South Africa..40th Birthday present!
11 August 2015
Flew with South African Airways from Heathrow to Jo/burg, great leg room seats in bulkhead in economy, thought the Star Alliance lounge was poor however. On arrival transfer all good. Stayed the first night at a lovely boutique hotel called 54 on Bath super nice, great extra touches, breakfast was lovely. Huge bed. Went to Mandela Square for lunch and wandered around the shops at Santon City

Toronto long weekend, in style!
20 November 2014
I flew to Toronto with Air Canada, left at 15:00 so was a nice flight, arriving in at 10pm their time, 3am UK time..so stayed up as long as we could to help with jet lag! Nicely surprised by the amount of leg room in economy on this flight, food was very good too, as airplane food goes! Traffic into the city was heavy, and lots of building work, should normally only take around 30 mins but took

Monday 9th Sep 2013 It was a restless night but not too bad as we have a long road trip today so I can chill and relax. We embarked on our short little trip on a bit of “Route 66”. We first stopped at Pontiac a name I’d only related to cars before. Let me tell you it’s a MUST SEE on any customers Route 66 itinerary.

Amazing Marrakech!
14 May 2012
Having always wanted to visit Marrakech I was super excited to going for the first time along with some fellow Travel Counsellors. We went in May 2012 for three nights. The first night we stayed at the four star Es Saadi Resort and Gardens. The pool area was nice and the pool was heated perfectly but the inside of the hotel was quite dated however and I'd say would only suit a family on a tight

Well for an alternative "city that never sleeps" Vegas certainly ticks the boxes! This was my second visit to Vegas, the first was during the previous year. We stayed at the Signature, MGM. This is the all suite part of the MGM hotel and offered a fantastic rate of around £380 for 3 nights. The suites are huge and the bed was the biggest and comfiest I've ever slept in.

Wow my first time in New York, I have always wanted to come here and can't believe how huge it is! We stayed just off of Times Square at the Novotel (it has a fab roof top terrace bar), fab location easy to walk to everything (and boy did we walk miles). We took in all the main sites and sounds and we visited some fab restaurants (worth doing your research in advance to find good places to e

So this was my second time to the park, but my husband and daughter's first! We travelled on Eurostar from Ashford (we overnighted at the local Holiday Inn, as it's an early train). The Eurostar terminal is a pleasant place to wait, with lots of things for the kids to play with, also with a place to grab a coffee and something to eat. We travelled in standard class on Eurostar, which was fi

This is a lovely little property that is not about mod con's and entertainment. It's the most tranquil and rela
