It's Nice To Meet You

Hello my name is Anne and I am a Travel Counsellor based in West Derby, Liverpool, Merseyside.

Before becoming a Travel Counsellor in September 2016 I worked for various travel companies selling a large range of holidays including Europe and Worldwide, Cruise and Luxury Destinations. Travel has been a big part of my life since I left school and I am passionate about what I do.

I have been in the Travel Industry for over 30 years and have been lucky to have travelled to many places including Spain, Greece, Cyprus, United States of America including Orlando and New York, Thailand, Cuba, Bermuda plus various city breaks including Krakow and have been on a River Cruise plus I have been on various ship visits for all the Cruise lines,

I specialise In Long Haul and Luxury holidays, for example all over the USA, Florida, Indian Ocean , Dubai , Caribbean , Far East and any other Worldwide destination , I have the best prices with my suppliers for these and can also help with packages, cruises plus cruise and stays, weddings, honeymoons, group bookings including Stag and Hen breaks , city breaks, UK breaks, coach holidays and much more.,

I have attended a lot of training events through the years where I have met hotel managers from all over the world with the suppliers and have gained knowledge from this for different destinations

I enjoy speaking and listening to my clients and that enables me to tailor-make the perfect holiday to suit their needs, I have a repeat client base that regularly book with me and I always strive to give them the best service and enjoy listening to their stories on return.

I Love being a Travel Counsellor, I can go the extra mile with my clients and I have the best technology and suppliers in the business, this enables me to find you your perfect holiday

I truly care about my clients and I am here for them from the minute they contact me to when they return, I take the stress away so all you have to do is pack!

We have used Anne Mara from Travel Counsellors for a few years now when booking our family holiday and the service we receive is consistently first class. Booking with Anne gives us confidence that we are in good hands, should anything go wrong. Anne is so attentative, ensuring we are kept updated throughout the process of booking the holiday, then checking us in etc. She is so helpful in getting us the holiday we want at the right price. I can't fault the service in any way and recommend Anne anytime.

Anne has just booked one of my bucket list holidays for myself and son. We went to Dubai and stayed in Atlantis, moved onto Bangkok and then Thomas went onto Japan and I went to Phuket on My own. The hotels where all 5 star and amazing. Having to have so many flights it was seamless Anne checked in on all our flights. The transports where fantastic and everything in our holiday pack she put together all worked without fault. I had to change the holiday and cancel and person and Anne was super supportive and made everything all happen. She was at hand when we where away and even helped with one issue we had in our third hotel. She has amazing customer service and I would highly recommend her expertise and friendly service. Thank you Anne

Sent by Paul Hannon

Two years on and Anne still continues to deliver excellent service! If you're thinking of booking a holiday give Anne a call. Even if you have a quote, see if Anne can match it before you commit.

Sent by Paula Mcloughlin

Anne is brilliant at what she does and is the consummate professional. I will not book my holidays through anyone else and tell all my friends about her too. When booking with Anne I guarantee you will feel reassured, supported, safe and most of all stress free. Everything you can think of Anne will already have covered. When she says she is there any any time, she actually means it. Anne adds little personal touches to looking after her customers that mean a lot and results in loyal customers . She makes time to understand what you want, need and covers off stuff you didn’t even realise you wanted. Anne has my custom for as long I am booking holidays and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone I speak to.

Anne was wonderful yet again. This is the second time if booked a holiday with her and I wouldn’t hesitate again. She goes above and beyond with every detail. She was regularly in touch with us to check if we needed anything. We were treated like VIPs by the hotel manager. In a room which had recently been refurbished and had a fab position and views. We had a slight niggle with the air con and were offered a fan, a change of room (which we gratefully declined) and got given even more fizz and treats for the room, plus credit to spend on upgraded drinks. Anne is a real superstar and I’m my opinion, you’d be stupid not to book through her. Thank you for everything Anne ??

Thank you so much Anne, you really are the best! We had the most perfect holiday in Jamaica thanks to you - all we had to do was turn up!

I have booked a number of holidays with Anne now.. I cannot recommend her enough, I had no hesitation in booking with her again for our sons wedding in Bali. Guests who were invited to the wedding also booked through Anne. She was so knowledgeable about the the visas and what was required as we went via Singapore. The second part of our stay in Bali we had a problem with our room. We tried to sort the problem ourselves with the hotel but the hotel was saying that they couldn’t do anything. We then emailed Anne who went straight to the supplier and the hotel and the matter was solved straight away. Thank you so much Anne! Can’t wait to book our next trip with you!

Sent by Paul Hannon

Booking a holiday can be a daunting thing if you're not used to it or not confident with booking online. There's so much more to consider now in terms of things like adding bags, booking seats, checking in on a certain date etc. Using Anne to book our family holiday means we can be happy knowing everything is taken care of and if there is any problems we have the confidence knowing we can speak to Anne, in person, who will pick things up for us. This is the real differentiator for us.

I was recommended by a friend to get in touch with Anne, As I was struggling to find a holiday within my budget . For an August getaway. I phoned Anne and told her my budget, what countries I'd be interested in going to. Plus it had to be close to the beach and a short coach transfer. Within 24 hours Anne found me 4 holidays that I'd be interested in and ticked all the boxes I asked for. I picked a Gran Canaria holiday as we've never been there before. The holiday was everything I hoped for. Very clean, friendly staff, great location. Anne made all.the arrangements, booked the holiday, sorted our plane seats, coach transfer, printed all the documents and hand delivered them . She did absolutely everything which took away a lot of the stress. To give us extra peace of mind we could contact her 24/7 . Anne even texted us in our first day of arrival to make sure everything was OK. I can't thank Anne enough for all the help and stress free holiday she gave us. Will be definitely be using Anne again for our next holiday

This is the second time we have booked with Anne. She’s absolutely amazing so attentive and really knows her stuff. I have passed her contact details on to friends and family as I have no hesitation in recommending her.

Sent by PAUL HANNON

You may find the same holiday a bit less expensive when you book direct but booking with Anne takes away all the stresses and provides you with a lot of assurance, particularly in the current climate with a lot of uncertainty about travelling etc. Anne is there for you if you have any issues and will deal with everything for you which for me is what you want if something goes wrong with your holiday or it gets cancelled etc. Anne also takes care of booking you in for flights, again this is something that can be time consuming and tricky if you're not used to doing it or not confident with computers. If you book with Anne I don't think you'd be disappointed!

Hi Anne, Just wanted to let you how much you helped us with our recent holiday to Las Vegas, LA and a Princess cruise to the Mexican Riviera. You were there for us every step of the way, from the beginning to the end. Your knowledge and professionalism we’re second to none. Travelling anywhere at the moment can be a navigational nightmare with covid restrictions and new regulations that can change at the drop of a hat. We really don’t know what we would have done without your knowledge and support when we were trying to sort out covid tests in the USA for the different legs of our journey. The itinerary of our holiday was perfect and we had such an amazing time. We would definitely recommend Anne to anyone looking for an amazing travel consultant. Sheila and Ray Remmington

Sent by PAULA MCLOUGHLIN

was recommended to contact Anne to look at some holiday options for me and I can honestly say I have never looked back. Life is pretty hectic for us all and going on holiday is meant to be a break, opportunity to de-stress etc and frantically searching for flights, hotels, transfers and whatever else just isn’t that relaxing. I spoke with Anne told her what I was looking for and like a magician she went away and came back with options galore! Once I had chosen my options I had a 121 service and every possible question I could think of Anne answered extremely quickly. The service and support did not end there, even when on holiday I got a message to check everything was ok and in order and reminded me that she was at the end of the phone if needed. That special touch along with the knowledge I was totally supported if I needed it has meant that I will no longer book thorough anyone or anywhere else. Trouble feee, worry free, excellent service, concierge travel counsellor with excellent contacts and knowledge, what’s not to like!!

Anne was very helpful from the outset. We explained exactly what it was we where after and she came back with some great choices. Although the hotel we originally wanted turned out to be fully booked, Anne found a great alternative in a short space of time. We had all the information, tickets and documents we needed together without having to worry whether we had everything. She even came to our house to hand deliver and discussed in person all the details and was on hand to answer any questions we had. We would fully recommend using Anne for booking your holiday because she takes the stress away, which allows you to concentrate on being excited. Thank you for making our trip to Iceland very memorable.

I wanted to thank you for the great service you have given myself and my friend with regards to arranging our 2 night stay at the Clayton Hotel in Belfast for the weekend. The hotel was located centrally and everything was in walking distance. We couldn't fault the hotel in anyway for the excellent service provided. From start to finish you have been very attentive on making the arrangements for us and even the little touches like bringing the hotel voucher directly to us and the little card waiting for us on arrival at the hotel. You are very approachable and nothing is too much trouble to you in finding the information as required for our 2 night stay. We can't thank you enough for the excellent service you have given us and I would certainly recommend you to my friends and family for their future holidays and weekend breaks. We will certainly be in touch in the future for our next trip away. Thanks again we had a fab time in Belfast.

We recently had a wonderful holiday in Barcelona all thanks to Anne. We stayed in the Hilton Diagonal Mar which was a ten minute walk from the beach and close to a metro for all of the sights, we had a brilliant time. If anybody is thinking of booking Barcelona I highly recommend the hotel we stayed at. Staff are so friendly and helpful and it's in a great location. The largest shopping centre in Barcelona is opposite the hotel too. Placa Reial is great for eating and this is just off La Ramblam, contact Anne to ge tit booked!

Thanks so much to Anne for booking a weekend trip for us to Vienna. This was a Christmas present from my sister and I to our mum and we had a great time. Anne sorted the flights, transfers and hotel and would recommend her to anyone. She makes the whole holiday experience so easy and enjoyable and ensured a brilliant stay whilst in Vienna. She also helps with anything whilst you're away. Last summer whilst in Venice my phone stopped working with boarding passes in my wallet on the phone and Anne emailed our boarding passes straightaway to the hotel. Thanks Anne, we love your holidays

This was our first time booking through Travel Counsellors and everything went perfect. We booked a family holiday (2 adults 2 children, 8 and 11 years old) to Salou and having never been before we didn't know where the best place was to stay. Anne asked questions to establish what it was we were looking for from the holiday and made suggestions on the hotels and location. One hotel she suggested sounded perfect for our needs and this didn't disappoint in any way. From the moment I got in touch with Anne everything was organised for us and she kept in touch with us to advise us of what was happening in respect of flight times etc. Anne even emailed the hotel with our requirements which was fully met on arrival. She provided her contact details in case there was any issues when we got there which was in addition to the Thomas Cook rep we had at our disposal in the hotel - thankfully we didn't need the assistance of either when we got there as everything was as we wanted. But having this contact provided reassurance. Without Anne advising us we wouldn't have known where to stay and anything we did on our own would have been more of a gamble. As I said we'd never used Travel Counsellors before but nothing was too much trouble and I'd highly recommend using Anne to anybody wanting to book a trip.

Booking a holiday is an exciting time, but it can also be very stressful in ensuring you get the best price and deal you can. Anne just makes booking a holiday exciting and stress free. Very knowledgeable about places, products and prices. And also very friendly with a willingness to make sure you get what you want.
