Di Rhodes went way beyond what could be expected as normal good service! Helpful and responsive at all times Professor Buckton Di always gets back to us immediately and makes sure we have the right type of accommodation to suit our needs. Fabulous service, thank you Di has been most helpful throughout the planning and booking of our latest trip , a three week stay and cruise around Vietnam and Cambodia, this is the third time we have booked with Di and we will definitely be returning again to Di when booking our next holiday. 10/10 David & Lucy McGibbon We booked an almost month long trip across Sri Lanka with Di Rhodes and it was outstanding from start to finish. Every hotel, tour and visit Di arranged suited our tastes and preferences perfectly and she checked in with us throughout so we always felt looked after and reassured that everything was running smoothly, which it was! Where Di truly excelled was at the end of our trip, when she responded immediately explaining our options with the disruption in the Middle East, and securing an alternative route home via Singapore, before the prices rocketed and availability disappeared. Without our quick thinking and expertise, we would very likely have been stranded or facing a long, stressful journey with multiple conditions. We were glad we had booked a fully protected ATOL package with Di and Travel Counsellors, rather than doing it all ourselves. We saw other travellers desperately trying to find seats at inflated prices and piecing together complicated routes home, clearly feeling alone and unsupported. In contrast the protection package with Travel counsellors went far beyond what was legally required . The goodwill, speed of response, and the level of care we received from Di and the wider team were exceptional . Thanks to Di we arrived home safely and only a few days later than planned, having still enjoyed a wonderful end to our holiday rather than a stressful scramble. The whole experience has really shown us the true value of having a dedicated personal Travel Counsellor. Exceptional, professional, caring service from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend Di Rhodes to anyone looking for a tailor-made, worry free holiday Annie and Malcolm Smith Di talked through the different options with us for our Barbados holiday and the best way to secure direct flights as well as the accommodation we wanted in the categories we needed a family, nothing was too much trouble for her, and she replied to our every question within minutes, having a direct contact to Di was fabulous! Di Rhodes was very friendly and professional, and nothing was too much trouble for her. I am a solo traveller, and feel very confident, that in the unlikely event anything should go wrong on my hotel or cruise holiday package, then she will be on hand to help iin a very timely manner and that is very reassuring . Thank you Di We booked our Regent Seven Seas Grandeur Cruise with Di Rhodes who made the whole process and experience very easy. She was always o hand to help and explain how to get the most from our cruise, during the booking process and right through the cruise experience. She answered our many questions with her immense knowledge and insight from selling and booking luxury cruises for many years. She also came to our rescue immediately when one of our transfers didnt turn up and we were back on track within minutes with Di's super quick and attentive service. We had a wonderful time and great fun with the help of Di. I wouldnt hesitate to reommend Di to you to plan and book your holidays Di is your lady! Di was fantastic from start to finish planning and booking our honeymoon in New York. Di guided me thoughtfully through all the options so we would have the best experience possible. We had the most fabulous time and Di was there every step of the way , from checking us in, to delivering us a pack of all the printed documents as a back up, to regular what's apps on her personal phone to check everything was going well for us. She gave us lots of extra tips from her extensive knowledge and even an upgrade at the hotel! I cannot thank Di enough for everything she did for us and will be recommending her to all my friends and family. I would have been lost without Di there and she felt like our personal concierge. thank you so much! 10/10 Di had wonderful knowledge, the patience of a saint, and she was so efficient.

Then a taxi to the cruise I'm taking round Japan on Regent . Di has discussed my support needs with me thoroughly and respectfully, and has arranged a suitable cabin for my cruise. She ensured I'd correctly filled in the cruise ship's forms to declare my needs. Every part of my trip has been meticulously planned. . In all our discussions, whether over the phone or by email, Di has been polite, a mine of information, and a reassuring 'guide' for me, through the whole process. She comes across as a natural and engaging 'people person' in all her work. I can recommend Travel Counsellors as an organisation that clearly acts in their clients' best interests. They can provide, not just exciting and interesting holiday ideas, but are skilled at providing necessary support for clients with specific needs.
