It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I’m Clare. I’ve lived all over the world, in Singapore, New Zealand, USA and India, and have travelled throughout Asia, Europe, Central America, Australia and Africa. Today’s world gives us limitless travel options, but the range and choice available can sometimes feel overwhelming or be time consuming to explore.

I can help. I love to hear and share the travel experiences and ideas of others, never more so than when I’m helping organise and book the very best holiday, experience, vacation or trip of a lifetime. I offer, at a time to suit you, a hassle free way to explore your trip options and book in a simple, efficient and secure way.

I’ve travelled as a couple, a family, an independent traveller, with friends, on business, organized groups and as a backpacker. I understand the variations of each type of travel, both the great and the slightly more challenging aspects to each.

For the past twenty five years I have worked hard to get the very best value holiday or travel for the budget available for that trip and that is what I will do for you.

Whether you are travelling for pleasure, business, with a group of friends or team mates, a family holiday (even a family with three or more children!) or an amazing trip for a celebration, honeymoon or special occasion. I can help you organise a trip to meet your individual, specific and special needs, and make it a reality.

I know my bucket list of exciting places to visit never seems to get shorter. As I visit one fantastic place I meet another interesting person with a compelling story about another fascinating place and so it goes on, that my list keeps getting added to. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It would be great to be part of your travel ideas and plans so please do get in touch and we can explore the detail and specifics of how we can get the very best trip for you.

Clare has been super helpful, not only in booking our holiday to Corsica but also in coming up with suggestions that we would have never thought of but that fit our brief perfectly! I couldn't recommend her more highly.

I was really impressed with Clare’s efforts to help us without our holiday planning to Spain. We didn’t help as our needs ‘evolved’ through the process. However, to her credit, she stayed cheerful and we will soon embark on a great family holiday!

Clare’s advice for our trip to Sweden was professional and realistic. Didn’t push us in a direction but listened and gave us advice and a range of options. Very nice was the timekeeping when to book and prioritise when needed. Also important Clare was open to our suggestions and to work around them. Thanks

We are in the process of organising a second trip with Clare having had a wonderful holiday to Thailand and Cambodia in January 2018. That trip suited us perfectly and Clare went to extraordinary lengths to tailor it to our needs and requirements. We could not of been happier and her attention to detail was much appreciated. On this occasion Clare has listened to our ideas and is in the process of putting together a suggested itinerary for our visit to Myanmar and then Sri Lanka in early 2020.

Clare was recommended by a friend of mine and this was the best advice. Clare has organised the most incredible trip to Vietnam, including all the various places I had researched but so much more than this - including elements that I am so happy to be doing over and above these. A completely bespoke service, listening chatting and understanding our timescales, a sense of what we like and re-ordering events too, to maximise our experience in Vietnam. I have not organised a big trip in a while and it was a relief and total result to be able to do with Clare. We have a fabulous itinerary that I am looking forward to that will give a real feel of everything Vietnam is about, history to today and I can’t wait! Thank you Clare as hugely appreciated

Just wanted to say thanks so much for organising our holiday. It was very reassuring you had been so efficient with planning it all and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We really enjoyed our stay in Crete. The hotel was in a fantastic location, and we had the most wonderful view from our bungalow in a lovely quiet spot. Just what we needed and asked for so thanks for making it all the more memorable. Will be in touch again when we plan our next Summer holiday.

I cannot thank you enough, Clare for the lovely holiday that you put together for me . The hotels were great and the rail travel a breeze thanks to all your efforts. I have never had such a stress free holiday and I will without a doubt come back to you to help plan the next odyssesy.!!! I had a fantastic time. Thank you so much again.

Clare Pearce has done a very good work to organize our holiday to Australia and New Zealand. Our trip is a bit complicated. We will travel to four countries and over 15 cities. Clare works very hard to satisfy our requirements. We are very happy with her hard work. We will recommend her to my friends when they book their holiday.

Uk Cities Trip - First, thank you for arranging a really, really good trip and such great weather for us! Second – and most spectacularly – you were absolutely fantastic when we hit the possible BA induced snag. I couldn’t believe how quickly you were able to rearrange the flights, find a driver, reschedule the driver in Edinburgh, and turn what was becoming a stressful evening into a carefree final night on our trip! Really, really great. Thank you! For the trip itself, it just kept getting better and better each day. Having 3 days in each city was long enough to give us a good taste of what the cities were like without being overwhelming. We both enjoyed Cardiff Castle, and our favourite was the Museum of Welsh Life. Hard to find anything that we didn’t love about Dublin. Our guide and driver were both really, really good. I personally enjoyed Kilmainham Gaol the most, with Trinity – Book of Kells very close behind. Edinburgh was spectacular. We toured the Royal Yacht Britannia and our guide Maggie was excellent and especially knowledgeable about Edinburgh Castle. She added in Rosslyn Chapel, definitely worth seeing. Bottom line, it was a great trip. You will definitely be hearing from me for future trips.

Clare went over and beyond to ensure that our needs for our special holiday were met, even when we changed our requirements last minute!! Thank you Clare.

Clare Pearce at Travel Counsellors helped us plan a holiday of a lifetime with our teenage girls to the USA in August 2016. Her in-depth knowledge of the area meant we managed our time really efficiently and visited everywhere we wanted to, but also built in to the itinerary some much needed relaxation time along the way! All the hotels Clare booked were spot on for us, superb locations every time which meant we made the maximum out of every stop. Clare also encouraged us to look at locations and hotels that perhaps we wouldn’t have booked if we had organised the trip independently, we particularly loved the wonderful Sedona Resort and breath-taking hot air balloon ride she suggested. Clare researched the flights brilliantly and managed to save us a considerable amount of money by changing the dates slightly, and we also saved money by booking the airport parking through her, valet parking when you have flown long haul in and out of different terminals cannot be recommended enough! We changed our minds many times along the way before we got the final itinerary agreed and her patience and meticulous attention to detail were very much appreciated. We would wholeheartedly recommend Clare if you are planning a holiday or a trip and look forward to talking to her about our travel plans for 2017!
