About Me
Hello, my name is Helen Birtwistle, based near Clitheroe in the beautiful Ribble Valley area of Lancashire. As your Personal Travel Counsellor I am committed to offering exceptional customer service.
There's nothing I like more than suggesting itineraries and putting holidays together, which is why tailor made trips are my speciality. I've recently arranged trips to Australia, New Zealand , South Africa, including a Safari holiday as well as helping to plan a USA trip to Boston and New England.
We get some great cruise deals at Travel Counsellors and I will be happy to help you choose the right ship and itinerary to suit you. I've cruised with P&O, NCL, Saga and Royal Caribbean and in May 2011 I spent 7 wonderful nights on board P&O's Ventura cruising the Norwegian Fjords. I also visit new ships where possible, so that I have first hand knowledge and can give informed advice.
My most recent trip was to Halifax, Nova Scotia and Toronto & Niagara Falls. Atlantic Canada is only 5 hours or so by air from the UK and well worth a visit - great scenery, open roads and lovely beaches. Ideal for a family with older children or for a couple who like to explore on their own and go to a lesser known destination.
I've worked in the travel industry now for more than 25 years and have travelled extensively in that time. will be very happy to share my knowledge and experience with you so please call or e mail me if you need advice..
My customers love the one to one service I provide and in a recent survey, 100% say they would recommend me to their friends and family. I can offer help with all types of holidays including flight only, UK holidays, weekend breaks, cruises and worldwide tailor made holidays.
Add to that our unique Financial Trust which is included free of charge in every booking you make with us - there really is no better way to book your holiday or business travel.
If you’d like your holiday to be a trip of a lifetime every time, please give me a call.
I hope to hear from you soon.
