My Holiday Research Packages start from £30 for upto 2 hours work ✈️🛳️☀️⛱️

Let me do the online trawling and researching for you. Send me a what's app for more details:

07817 736579

I save you time by doing the research for you ⌚📣 As a Travel Counsellor I have access to many approved suppliers and tour operators but by working this way (charging an upfront research fee) I am prepared to widen my search to other suppliers too. I feel this helps me to help you find the best deals. You'll be paying me to root out the best deals I can for you 💰💰

Upon completion of my research I will present my findings and options to you in an honest and upfront way.

If it's cheaper for you to book the trip yourself then I'll let you know. You'll be free to either simply take all my suggestions and book the trip yourself or come back to me and book with me (no added cost).

A package booked with myself might work out slightly more expensive because it comes fully protected and with the backup of my personal service. However, the choice will still be yours - if you prefer to go ahead and book it independently instead then that's fine too.

I'm just happy to be researching holidays 😂😁

Hi everyone! Since I've had a few new followers over the past few weeks I thought I'd re-introduce myself and my travel business 🙌

I offer a dedicated and bespoke holiday research service. Prices for my service vary depending on the type of trip you’re considering and how many add-ons you need assistance with (for example car hire and park tickets etc). Whether you are simply after a cheap week in Spain or a road trip across the USA I am here to help.

Research package prices start from £30 for 2 hours of my time. I will research, evaluate and compare prices of holidays on your behalf. If you are happy to book your own holiday please let me know as my research can extend beyond the limitations of Travel Counsellors’ approved suppliers on request.

Upon receipt of my suggestions and recommendations you are free to go ahead and book your holiday any way you wish.

I won’t be able to package certain options and in some cases you can save you money if you’re prepared to book your trip yourself.

Many customers are prepared to take the chance and save money. However, if you’d prefer a fully serviced, packaged and protected trip then I can organise that for you too.

My service is ideal for people who are too busy to spend time trawling online sites themselves and also for people considering a trip to somewhere they're not familiar with.

So, if you're looking for some help planning your next holiday please get in touch.

Feel free to whats app or call me. My number is 07817 736579.
