It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to Travel Counsellors, Thurles, Co Tipperary.

My name is Catherine Maguire & I have worked for about 25 years in the travel industry.

I always had a great love for travel and even took a year out to do a world trip in 1995, including travelling extensively around Australia, Thailand, Indonesia and the USA. I enjoy exploring new and exciting destinations, after 25 years in the business I still get excited even talking about new and exotic travel destinations. I believe I am passionate about Travel and this is one of the many reasons why I joined Travel Counsellors.

I pride myself on making your holiday experience the most enjoyable ever and hassle free.

I can help you with any type of holiday and I particularly enjoy dealing with Long-Haul, Luxury destinations, Honeymoons and Group Travel. I also can arrange Hen or Stag weekends, Ski Holidays, Adventure Holidays, Sun holidays and city breaks, cruises & sporting events.

So whether you just need a hotel booking, flight only or that last minute sun holiday or match tickets to a Premiership or Rugby game or a package to Cheltenham or decide to take the Kids to Euro Disney or just need a gift voucher for that special Anniversary or birthday, I will assist you with all your travel requirements.
I appreciate that in today’s world, people lead very busy lives, so I aim to take the stress out of booking your holiday and make it an enjoyable experience. As I work from home I have the flexibility to deal with your enquiry at a time to suit you, including evenings and weekends. So no more trudging to town in the rain, struggling to park and then queuing in busy travel agents. Working from home enables me to offer you my valued customer an unrivalled level of personal service and I would be delighted to help you with any enquiry you might have.

I have a lot of repeat clients, most of whom have been recommended to me by my extended family, friends & neighbours as I feel I offer a high level of customer service and my aim is to continue this service & make your travel experience enjoyable.

I have had the pleasure of travelling extensively to many destinations including:
Spain, Canaries, Balearics, Greek Islands, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, Morocco, Tunisia, Hungry, Paris, Euro Disney, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Tahiti, Canada, USA, Caribbean, South Africa, Australia & New Zealand.

I can make that dream holiday come true.

Well I have worked with Catherine on many of my holiday bookings and I have found her to be most accommodating and very helpful. Whatever kind of a holiday or trip I was planning Catherine provided me with choices of holidays to choose from. She was always friendly and nothing was ever a problem. Even when I had my holiday or trip planned Catherine offered some advice and guidance of place to go.

Viva Las Vegas

I really enjoyed the experience of my trip to Croatia & Montenegro in April 2008. Croatia is located between South-Central Europe and Middle Europe.
