Jemma Kelly - Travel Counsellors

An Independent Travel Expert specialising in tailormade itineraries and luxury family holidays. Hi, I am Jemma Kelly and I am your local Travel Counsellor.

I believe that holidays are personal. That’s why you’ll have your own personal travel expert who cares about you and your journey, and will build a holiday that fits you perfectly, saving you the time and hassle of organising everything yourself. The advantage of being a Travel Counsellor is that I am truly independent and not tied to any specific airlines, hotels or cruises. I can build your holi

day to suit your exact needs; handpicked from a selection of over seventy thousand global travel suppliers. It's all about taking care of you, and making sure I find you a perfect holiday; ensuring you have the best experience from start to finish. I am also a Mum of two and know how important it is in choosing a family holiday and getting it right first time. If you need inspiration, I can point you in the right direction. Not forgetting all aspects of your holiday are fully financially protected 100% of the time. If you like the idea of having me arrange your next holiday with peace of mind, I'd love to hear from you.

Postcards from true Lapland... 🎅❄️🦌🛷

This lovely family surprised their son in the morning with a magical trip to Lapland with ✨️

They travelled deep inside the Arctic Circle to visit Father Christmas, where it was -25 🥶, and had a brilliant time with the huskies, reindeers, snow-mobiling & sledging.

Thank you for letting me help make those special memories and sharing your lovely photos 🫶

📸

I love booking trips to Lapland for families, as well as grown ups.
There's something so magical and exciting about it.
And the best part? I'm not a single penny more than booking direct with any Lapland suppliers but you get my personal service and insider tips too.
So what are you waiting for?

Client postcards from Iceland... 🇮🇸

A city break to Reykjavik never disappoints, despite the Norther Lights sadly not coming out to play for this Father & Daughter duo.

They did, however, eat some delicious local food, drank some delicious local beer, saw the geysers & the Gullfoss waterfall on the Golden Circle tour, swam in the oldest hot springs lagoon in Iceland and explored the colourful streets of Reykjavik.

On their return, my clients said, "Mega thanks to for being in control of it all - we literally just had to turn up & she sorted out all our refunds for the cancelled trips. I can’t recommend her enough for your future travel."

Thanks 🥰

I love booking Iceland trips. It's one of my fave city breaks to book. And having been myself, I get to share my insider tips with you! 😉

A destination that you can travel to year-round and experience so many adventures and tours, dependant on season - meaning customers just want to return year on year.

Who would like to visit Iceland next? 💙

Today I spent the day brushing up my knowledge on all things Ski, Lapland, Mountains and Exploration thanks to Inghams Ski Inghams Walking Santa's Lapland & Explore.

I've been to Lapland myself with my kids, and send many, many clients each year to experience the magic, but it's always good to hear of new & exciting updates; including new hotels and experiences within the resorts.

Hearing the updates from Santa's Lapland & Inghams Lapland got me really excited for all my families going this year! 🤗

There's also some pockets of availability and FREE Child Places left for 2024 so do get in touch for that last-minute magical trip and I'll be able to help match you with the right resort and itinerary.✨️

We also had updates from Inghams Ski & Inghams Walking - which I'm going to share more of this week.

Next up was Explore! A small-group touring Tour Operator with so many incredible tours and itineraries all around the world. Again, watch out for more details this next week or so. I quite fancy some of their family tours myself! 🙌

We then had some fun in the snow at the Chill Factore to end a fab day of learning 😀❄️🛷🎿
