Gaynor Burgess - Travel Counsellors

Gaynor Burgess - Travel Counsellors Travel Consultancy with 30 years experience. Specialists in creating bespoke travel . ATOL protected I don’t charge for the extra service I offer.

Hello thank you for liking my page ......

After starting my career in 1993 as a YTS trainee travel agent for Hogg Robinson Travel, I soon got hooked! I am now very proud to be a self-employed Personal Travel Expert running my own business franchise with Travel Counsellors. With over 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, you can be assured you are in safe hands. After 6 years of running my

travel business, I was delighted to achieve GOLD STATUS - an accolade held by just a small number of Travel Counsellors in recognition of their sales contribution. In addition, I have also been recognised for being in the TOP 20 WORLDWIDE within the Travel Counsellor community for scoring 100% Customer Satisfaction. I work from home, which means that unlike when you book on the internet, I am available to speak to at any time should you have any queries or problems. This means that you will have the same point of contact throughout every stage. Your booking will sit with me and I will personally take care of every detail. I will complete any advanced passenger info, online check in, print boarding passes, provide you with luggage labels and deliver any paperwork as required and you will have access to a 24 hour DUTY OFFICE to assist with any emergencies should they arrive whilst you are away. I always contact the hotels to ensure that they look after my guests on arrival and if you are celebrating a special occasion such as honeymoon or have any special requests, I will do my best to liaise with the hotel to ensure they make a note of this on your booking - subject to availability of course. Everything you book through Travel Counsellors is 100% financially protected. Thank you for reading. Please don't hesitate to contact me. You can contact me on 0161 826 7210

Hello everyone !
Hope you’ve all had a Happy Easter.
I’ve been quiet the last 2 weeks as I’ve been to the USA on my family holiday .

We’ve had such a super time and it was great to experience one of my own crafted itineraries that I have created so many times for my clients .

We flew from Manchester via Dublin to San Francisco .
This was great as you clear US immigration in Dublin meaning you arrive into the US on a domestic flight and no long queues .

Here we stayed for 4 nights . We explored the city on the open top bus . Visited Alcatraz , Muir Woods and Sausalito .

We then picked up a car and drove to our first destination Monterey .

Monterey is a scenic coastal city in California, known for its historic Cannery Row, rich marine life, and stunning views along the Pacific Ocean.

From there we headed south to Pismo Beach where we stayed for 1 night and then headed straight to Santa Barbara for a further night stop .

We finished our trip by driving to LA .
This is where we dropped the car .
Our main focus here was Universal Studios . Even though this is smaller than Universal in Florida , it is perfect for first timers . Small queues and easy to navigate .
We completed our trip with a Celebrity Homes bus tour and Hollywood walk of Fame .

Flying back from Los Angeles via Dublin again . Aer Lingus flights were seamless .

All in all we had an amazing time !

If this is something that you would like to do then please don’t hesitate to get in touch .

Hello Everyone !

I’ve had quite a few new followers recently, so thought I would introduce myself again .

For over 30 years, I’ve been turning travel dreams into reality, ensuring every journey is seamless and stress-free.

Back in 1993 is where it all started and I’ve never looked back .

This isn’t just a job for me—it’s a lifelong passion.

I take care of every detail, so you can focus on making memories.

When you book with me, you’re not just getting a holiday—you’re gaining expert advice, tailored service, and a genuine love for travel.

If you or someone you know is planning an adventure, I’d love to help!

Your support, recommendations, and engagement mean the world to me.

I was given a brief and it was my absolute honour to put together some suggestions and craft together the most amazing surprise 50th Anniversary trip .
Thank you for the lovely comments .

“I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for all your help in organising my mum & dad’s 50th Anniversary trip. From start to finish everything ran so smoothly and they had the most incredible time.

They absolutely loved every part of their journey - from exploring Singapore to all their cruise stops, and then Hong Kong. The whole experience was seamless, and they made some truly special memories.

Their return to Manchester was the perfect ending, feeling like celebrities whilst everyone watched them being chauffeur-driven across the runway to the aether terminal 😂

Your knowledge, expertise and attention to detail made all the difference, and I can’t thank you enough for helping to create such a wonderful and memorable trip for them. It was everything I’d hoped for them and more.

Thank you for everything! “
