It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Zoe, your Independent Travel Agent and Cruise Ambassador for Travel Counsellors.
With over 40 years’ experience in both leisure and business travel, I bring first-hand knowledge and a truly personal service. Whether it’s a family holiday, a cruise, a business trip, or a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, I’ll tailor everything to you—without the stress of endless online searching.

As a Cruise Ambassador, I’ve sailed with many different lines and on many different ships, so I can match you to the right cruise experience. I’ve also explored destinations including Santorini (a personal favourite), California on fly-drives, and Sydney, where my family live—meaning my recommendations come from real experience.

My clients return year after year, and I’m available when they need me, not just 9 to 5. In the ever changing world of the internet, and the speed that companies are born, bred and disappear, people are at last waking up to the fact that booking your travel arrangements through faceless internet sites is not all it’s cracked up to be. The thing that really worries the real travel experts is the lack of assistance and financial protection that these sites offer. Travel Counsellors has the best financial protection in the industry! I have 86% repeat business which is the best recommendation I could ever have.

I have recently returned from Santorini, where I have holidayed for the past 14 years, and we will of course return next year! I took my first cruise in 2006 and have been bitten by the bug and I would thoroughly recommend cruising too! I love to visit new countries and for me this year has been Poland, Vietnam, Bali and Qatar.

Feel free to get in touch to see how I can take the stress away from planning your next trip!

Best wishes,
Zoe

What my customers say

Zoe knows exactly the sort of holiday that will suit you, even when you are uncertain yourself. Zoe has helped our family have great holidays a few times before, so we know that this break is really going to be something to look forward to. I cannot recommend Zoe highly enough, she is amazing.

Sue C

Basingstoke

I am always recommending Zoe. The service is excellent and she will go out of her way to ensure the finishing touches are in place to make your holiday special and bespoke.

Elizabeth S

Basingstoke

Zoe is always enthusiastic and smiley when chatting about our travel arrangements. She's a breath of fresh air and extremely knowledgable too.

F C

Basingstoke

Zoe was very patient and helpful. She answered all our queries and was very professional when holiday plans changed. We have already recommended her to friends and family and will continue to do so.

Anne S

Kent

I just wanted to send you a HUGE thank you for arranging such a perfect holiday for us. We could not have asked for anything more! From the booking, to the private transfers and the hotel itself, we felt thoroughly taken care of. I have raved about you to everyone who will listen so I feel sure that friends will be in touch in due course. Thank you, thank you, thank you .

10 is not a high enough number for this lovely lady. My holiday was originally booked by a friend with Low Cost Holidays. I thought we lost it all and Zoe who I have booked with in the past, took this on and sorted it all out. Think my friend learnt a lesson.

I have recommended Zoe to numerous people and Zoe was in fact recommended to me by my brother. I have just booked this trip to Dubai because Zoe saw an offer and sent it to me straight away with the caption "saw this and thought of you". Zoe was spot on. She knows exactly what I look for in a hotel and a holiday. Zoe takes the stress out of looking for and booking holidays. I would never use anyone else or any other company. Zoe's attention to detail and customer service is second to none and I know that all I have to do is pack my bags and go. Now that is priceless!

Alison Wills

Zoe was an absolute pleasure to work with. Prior to speaking to her, my fiance and I had spent hours trawling the internet for the ideal holiday, train or hotel. Time and time again Zoe is able to come back to us quickly and efficiently. Not only that, she has a great friendly personality, nothing is too much trouble - in short I would have no hesitation in recommending her, she's an assett to the company!

Richard Nicklin

Kingston

I just wanted to say a big thank you for organising our holiday. We had a fab time and everything went without a hitch. I would definitely recommend you to other people, and will contact you again with any other travel needs I may have in the future, although I’m going to be paying for this one for a few years so it will be cheap holidays next year I think!

Samantha Head
