"We will never travel long distance again without Emma by our side every step of the way.” We originally decided to book our honeymoon through Travel Counsellors as we had heard how amazing they were when trips involved travelling to more than one destination. Emma arranged the most amazing honeymoon for us, departing Ireland to the Maldives for a week - which was pure paradise - followed by a 3-day holiday in Dubai. The best part was that we had excursions included, got guidance around food and board basis for each destination as well as incredible perks such as having Emma check us in for all flights (sending over boarding passes and everything we needed), lounge access in the airport and having her on the other end of the phone/email which we never anticipated was going to be so important to us! On the last day of our holiday in Dubai, things took a turn for the worse. Within a few hours, we went from sipping cocktails by the pool to cancelled flights due to the Middle East crisis and the sickening feeling that we could be stuck in Dubai indefinitely. We’re not even sure how, but by the time we were finding out that there were issues Emma had emailed to check that we were safe From here on out, we cannot even explain the dedication of Emma to get us home safely. Every time a flight was cancelled she had seats held on the next available flight - always a glimmer of hope for us. She arranged transfers from our new location and got us home in record time - being some of the first to set foot back on Irish soil! Emma went above and beyond, not only did she check in with us around the clock while we were in Dubai to make sure we were okay and safe but she also called us for a check-in to see how we were coping after we had been home for a few days. We can never, ever thank Travel Counsellors enough, particularly Emma, for the peace of mind, help and reassurance we got during this frightful time.

Emma is the first travel agent I have used, ever. She makes everything so seamless and is so efficient. We booked our next trip with Emma as soon as we came home from our trip and two of my friends have also now booked with Emma. Highly recommend.

We celebrated our Big Birthdays and Big Wedding Anniversary on the Queen Mary 2 last year, we had a marvellous 4 weeks . Emma took care of everything as we were very nervous. First time cruising. We are now planning a family trip to go to The Caribbean on a cruise next October. We can’t wait knowing Emma will organise everything for our family. We are not a bit nervous this time. Emma is wonderful.

Emma is super knowledgeable and super efficient! No query too small. Always willing to do anything to make your holiday prep special for you. Thank you Emma. You're dedication does not go unnoticed. Really appreciate everything.

Emma has being so accommodating and professional throughout our booking process. Nothing was ever an issue, always so thorough and prompt. We will have no hesitation and feel very confident in recommending Emma to our family and friends.

Emma has been a dream to work with, I’d score more than 10 if I could so a big thank you! Our trip is celebrating an extra special birthday and we were keen to nail the itinerary, book the nicest accommodations and the most worthwhile experiences and Emma’s approach, knowledge, recommendations and efficiency in booking were second to none. We felt in very good hands and taken care of throughout the whole experience. We will be booking again with Emma.

Emma made it all so seamless. We sent Emma the budget and requirements; on the same day, we received a number of options from Emma. One or two tweaks and all sorted in a week. Brilliant, professional service, Thanks, Emma

Emma planned the most amazing trip for us travelling from NZ to visit our daughter in Ireland. We enjoyed a fabulous luxurious Riviera cruise from Cologne to Basel and also a very fun e-bike tour from Luxembourg to Cologne. On the way home we also had a few days in Dubai. Emma was always contactable and very knowledgeable, everything ran so smoothly. Would highly recommend her services!

I found Emma to be very professional, quick, easy to deal with and provided great options provided. Would highly recommend.

I found Emma super attentive and provided a great service and is very knowledgeable.

Emma has been nothing short of amazing to deal with. A group of us decided we'd like to go on a cruise. Emma phoned me that same day to have a quick chat. As the days went on the number of us going grew legs. Each time I was back onto Emma who replied very promptly and no query was too trivial. We're all delighted with the app as each cabin is now responsible for their own payment. This makes my life so much easier as it probably would have fallen to me to gather the money etc. I have 100% confidence in Emma and I know the rest of the trip organisation will be dealt with excellently. I have even already recommended her to colleagues and friends. Thank you Emma.

I have already recommended Emma and Travel Counsellors to two friends!

Dealing with Emma was and is a pleasure. The feedback, communication and continuous support and help in getting me what I requested was , exceptional. She also sent me a lovely personalised card and gifts, ( remembering my 50th birthday)which were totally unexpected but totally appreciated. I look forward to continuing to deal with Emma for this trip and future adventures. I have already been singing her praises to family, friends and colleagues. Thank you Emma

Emma has provided an incredible discovery and planning experience and has kept us updated at all times. Everything was delivered to a tee and to our requirements, with multiple options to choose from. It's an absolute pleasure to work with Emma and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who wants a transformed travelling experience.

Emma has been fantastic to deal with, nothing was a problem to her, very helpful, easy to talk too. Thank you Emma for finding us a great family holiday.

Emma has been so lovely and easy to deal with. Really responsive to all questions and has been so helpful. Would highly recommend booking through Emma Dowling as your Travel Counsellor!

Emma booked our family holiday to Disneyland Paris, the service I received was amazing Emma was able to suggest options that I didn't think of and her knowledge was invaluable, we tweaked a few things here and there and ended up with the perfect itinerary for us thanks to her guidance and help. Nothing was too much trouble, I would highly recommend Emma to anyone and will definitely be using your expert services again, thanks Emma!

Emma is superb at what she does and her passion for travel & customer service is evident every step of the way. I couldn't recommend Emma more to anyone who is looking to get away, she made it stress free for us & we were so happy with the experience of booking through such a travel expert.

Emma has been simply amazing. Having just moved into our new home we would have found added stress to try book a 2 week holiday on top of moving & having house renovations at the same time. Emma took that extra stress away & we can't thank her enough. We will 100% be recommending Emma & Travel Counsellors to our family, neighbours & friends. Thank you Emma. Maria & Shay

Dear Emma you looked after us extremely well. Looking forward to our amazing Cruise Holiday to celebrate the big Birthday next year.

Myself & my husband approached Emma for her help with a trip to a family wedding in Italy. From the offset Emma was so warm, helpful, and professional. I gave her the dates and locations of the wedding events and Emma did all the hard work researching the best flights and accommodation options. It was absolutely hassle free for us and the different options Emma came back to us with were clearly and carefully thought out and met all of our needs. It was such a weight off our shoulders working with Emma. End to end Emma's service was flawless and it literally was so lovely dealing with her as she is so personable, has amazing attention to detail and so passionate about her job and customer experience.

I found Emma most helpful. My trip was sorted without any stress. Highly recommend!

Was blown away by how quickly Emma put together a package that ticked all my boxes!

We found Emma to be Amazing. We left everything in her hands. Emma arranged everything from start to finish and came back with a couple of different options. To be perfectly honest Emma took the stress out of all the planning for us. All we have to do is get packing and go.
