It's Nice To Meet You

Hello and a very warm welcome to my travel page.

You have come to the right place if you're looking for a friendly, professional and caring travel service.
I have been in the travel industry over 37 years now and my own travel business has been part of the Travel Counsellors Group for just over 17 of those years. I have been lucky enough to visit many destinations as you can imagine, around the globe.

For all my clients, I offer a true one to one personal, professional and friendly travel service, whether that be for a leisure or corporate client and I am available day or night, to offer you a great flexible service as well.
In addition to this, everything you book is 100% financially protected either by our ATOL or through our Travel Counsellors Trust, giving you complete peace of mind.

Please don’t think of me as a normal high street travel agent, I am not linked to any tour operator or airline, so I am completely independent. This allows me to create my own packages, all fully protected under our Travel Counsellors ATOL licence and put together, to match your personal travel requirements. I also deal with the large tour operator holidays as well, such as Jet 2 Holidays or Easyjet Holidays , for example.

Recently, Travel Counsellors came top of a survey (twice) , which was undertaken by Martin Lewis (Money Saving Expert website) and we were voted number one travel company, who have looked after their clients, during the Coronavirus Pandemic, which is something I am extremely proud of.

We also hold a 5 star Trust Pilot Review and recently, as a group, won the Queens Award for Enterprise 2020, for the third time and as well, have just been listed in the Sunday Times PwC Top Track 250, which in 2020 recognises the important contribution companies have made during, this challenging time.

With over 37 years’ experience in the travel industry I offer a personal service on all travel aspects in both Business and Leisure Travel, including Cruising, Honeymoons, Weddings, Tailor-Made itineraries, Summer or Ski holidays, Groups, Ferries, Rail and hotel reservations (UK and overseas).

Please feel free to contact me and I look forward to helping you find your ideal trip, thank you for taking the time to visit my web page.

Best Regards

Sonia

I would just like to say that I Have been booking with Sonia for several years and over this time I have had nothing but 1st class sevice from her. Nothing is too much trouble and you can ring her any time of day or night and she is always very proffesional, friendly and courteous. I have even passed on Sonia details to friends, colleagues and family members who have said that she delivers the best service. I have just returned from a holiday booked by sonia for a party of 8, and will be getting back in touch with her early in the new year to book again.

We have been booking holidays with Sonia for over 25 years and would never book through anyone else. Sonia has proved time and time again that when it comes to choosing a travel agent, experience and reliability are the key factors to consider. Sonia has not let us down yet and I don't expect that she ever will. I would be delighted to recommend Sonia to any prospective traveller.

Sonia has booked a few holidays for me and my family and she has always provided me with an excellent service. I have asked for a full package to Florida and flights to Greece, whatever I ask her its never too much trouble. My wife and I highly recommend Sonia to sort your holiday out. Thanks Sonia

I have been booking with Sonia for about 10 years now. I always receive first class service. Just tell Sonia where you want to go and she will sort the rest out for you. We recommend her to all our friends.

Sonia offers a very unique personal service. Her depth of knowledge and commitment to detail allows her meet your every need when it comes to booking a holiday. Sonia is always very friendly and attentive and nothing is ever too much trouble. I wouldn't book a holiday with anyone else. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

Sonia excels at finding superb deals and providing a complete end to end holiday service. Sonia arranges holidays for me and the family and also assists me with business travel such as hotels, train tickets and at times meeting rooms at various locations around the UK. Many people these days claim that it is better to do it yourself via the internet, well I simply do not agree. Being able to use the internet does not give an individual access to the same deals enjoyed by a large travel company and it certainly does not instill many years of travel experience and feedback from many customers that a travel professional has. Great service with a caring approach because a family holiday is a major investment these days which you cannot afford to get wrong.

Sonia couldn't have been more helpful, particularly when my travel plans changed, she sorted it immediately. Thanks very much!

Sonia is always very friendly and helpful. Even though I have never met her I feel as though she is a friend. We have booked many holidays with Sonia and have enjoyed every one. She gives advice but is always ready to listen and finds the holiday we want. I have reccomended Sonia to many of my friends who have also booked holidays with her and they all comment on her friendliness and helpfulness.

Sonia always goes that extra mile to ensure your holiday is perfect. She can be relied upon to think about all the little extras that make the difference to your arrangements. I heartily recommend her.

Sonia is always my first call when planning a holiday. Her service is always very quick and efficient and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for her. She has helped us plan and book many a holiday as she has for other members of my family also. I would not hesitate to recommend Sonia.

Sonia has helped book holidays for me for a number of years (approx. 10 years). She gets my business because I can rely on her to understand my requirements and deliver the holiday at the right price. I can provide her with detailed requirements from my own research or give her some vague ideas and she converts it into reality. Sonia is a trusted because she provides an excellent service.
