Marco Williams - Travel Counsellor

Marco Williams - Travel Counsellor I provide seamless travel arrangements for the sophisticated professional, using my 30+ years of hospitality and travel management experience. Love Thailand!

I do this for both business and leisure travellers. Originally from London - lived in Clapham Common in the '60s. Moved to Rayleigh in Essex, then to Sandy, followed by Gamlingay. Went to Nottingham Trent University (when it was better known as Trent Poly). Worked in the photography business and eventually fell into the travel business. Now live in Oakley, Bedfordshire. I've had the good fortune t

o visit much of Europe (working for a tour operator), and some of the Caribbean islands - taking photos for a Tour Operator. Also Florida, California, Vancouver and Vancouver Island, Egypt, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Nagoya, Bangkok, Phuket, Taiwan, Bali, Jakarta, and Kuala Lumpur. Lived in Hong Kong from 1997 to 1998. But would really like to explore Cambodia and Vietnam. In my 20's, spent 4 months backpacking around India. And also in my 20's, spent about 4 months in a Kibbutz in Israel. Both of which I really enjoyed. Married with two grown-up children. One's at Portsmouth University, reading Criminology and Criminal Justice, the other at home for now - she read Archeological Science at Reading. Hobbies - really enjoy scuba diving. Haven't really picked up a camera much - perhaps I should. I love to travel. And for me, exploring any new destination is what really excites me - and especially introducing others to that destination. Travel in my view, not only expands horizons and opens your mind to new ways of thinking and the appreciation of different cultures, but also brings home how beautiful and precious this world is. As someone wiser than me said: "To NOT travel, is like opening a book and just reading the first page.

Explore New York in May.
5 nights from £1,439 per person based on 2 sharing.

Escape to the city that never sleeps for a five-night break and immerse yourself in the endless possibilities of New York City. During your trip, marvel at iconic landmarks, indulge in world-class dining, and soak in the electric energy of Broadway shows and cutting-edge art galleries.

• You will be staying in the heart of Manhattan at the stunning Hotel Edison, just steps away from the bustling sights of Times Square and Broadway. This iconic Art Deco-style hotel is the perfect base for your New York adventure.

• Discover the magic of New York City through its iconic landmarks. Stroll through the sprawling greenery of Central Park, head to the Empire State Building, before strolling to Rockefeller Center where you can bask in the hustle and bustle of Midtown Manhattan.

• Included in your stay is a visit to Summit One Vanderbilt, a multi-sensory observatory offering breathtaking views of the NYC skyline. Feel the thrill of soaring above the city as you experience the beauty of New York from a whole new perspective.

Have you met plans for your next break?
You might want to get your skates on. Why? In January alone 50% of all capacity is sold - especially for the traditional summer break.

The industry works on "demand pricing"; that is, as airlines seats and hotel rooms sell, so the price goes up. I've seen airline seats go up over £500 in less that a week! And whilst there are various 'early booking' offers out over January, once they're gone; they're gone.

There are very, very few last minute 'deals' - so unless you want to pay more for your summer break than you need to - I would get moving.

Give me a call or drop me an e-mail.

Why booking travel direct, can cost you more than you bargained for...

"Booking.com customers are being warned they could be sent scam emails and messages requesting payments from hotels who have had their accounts taken over by fraudsters.

Action Fraud said that 532 customers lost a total of £370,000 from June 2023 to September 2024 after they were deceived by the criminals into making payments or sending their credit card details".

Booking with an ATOL bonded, reputable tour operator such as myself, means your money is protected. Travel Counsellors unique travel trust, means your money is held in an independent trust account.
