We would love to recommend Ceri for your travel planning and forthcoming trip. We recently booked a holiday to the Maldives. A very last minute decision, where choice was limited and prices were more!
Ceri came up with various options, from my limited instruction, which was; 'find me somewhere to relax'! We spent a wonderful 6 days at Joy Island.
Admin, Transfers, taxes, and bookings were as smooth as can be, with no issues at all. Ceri sent many messages beforehand to check we had all the necessary details, and even checked that we had arranged vital travel insurance.
We were celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary, and Ceri had arranged for a special surprise during our stay. A very thoughtful extra.
We had a perfect hassle free break, and wouldn't hesitate to use Ceri and Travel Counsellors again. Thank you!

"Our trip was absolutely perfect, especially considering it was planned on short notice! Every detail was seamless, from being whisked onto a water taxi in Venice to staying in stunning hotels with incredible views.
The Mamma Mia tour was a family favourite and the kids were thrilled to be greeted with a sign at the airport – they felt like VIPs!
Our villa in Dubrovnik’s Old Town was beyond anything we expected, luxurious, full of thoughtful touches, and the spa and steam room were a dream. The kids couldn’t believe how lucky we were to stay there!
From Venice to Skiathos, Athens to Dubrovnik, everything ran smoothly and the thoughtful planning made it the best family holiday. We can’t wait to book our next one with you!"

Ceri helped us create a perfect family holiday for our spring break- we wanted to create a dream holiday of the Maldives but adapt it to also cater for the age of our children. So a blend of the dream is always had but the reality of travelling with two young kids! She managed to offer us a wonderful duel trip of Sri Lanka and Maldives which ticked all the boxes of being kid friendly but not compromising on the luxury element if dreamt of. The quote was significant cheaper then we could locate ourselves and Ceri made it so simple for us doing all the hard work finding the accommodations, transfers and flights which took all the planning out of it! She was so helpful with giving us prompts and reminders of what we needed to do such as health declarations and checking in and was so fast at communicating with us if we had any questions. We had such a great holiday and are so thankful to Ceri for her hard work in cultivating a perfect trip! We’d recommend to anyone!

We used Ceri to book our family holiday to the Maldives. Her personalised service and attention to detail was simply amazing. Ceri booked flights, transfers and spoke with the hotel so we could get an early check in and optimised our time on holiday. She listened to what we wanted and needed and definitely exceeded expectations. Thank you!

Ceri was brilliant from start to finish in organising our dream family holiday to the Maldives. Great communication, support and advice and she listened to exactly the type of holiday we were after and came back to us with lots of options to choose from. We will definitely use Ceri again for our next holiday! Thank you so much!

From the very beginning, Ceri made the entire booking process effortless and stress-free. She took care of everything from flights, hotel reservations, and transfers, to even researching activities for us to enjoy. I loved the Batik and Thai cooking lessons, which Ceri thoughtfully arranged.
I truly felt like I was in expert hands throughout the trip.

Oman’s charm is no secret to those of us living in the Middle East, but when I first had the opportunity to move here, I didn’t know much about it. Four years later, I now understand why so many from the GCC and further afield flock to this stunning hidden gem. If you love the outdoors and have a sense of adventure, Oman has so many experiences to offer, all within a two-hour drive from Muscat. He
