Let me plan your dream holiday

Hello, I am Nicola, a Kerry based Travel Agent with Travel Counsellors specialising in creating bespoke travel itinerary.

Whether you are dreaming of a sun‑soaked beach escape, a city break, a luxury ocean or river cruise, a once‑in‑a‑lifetime safari or a romantic honeymoon, I offer a highly personal, professional service that takes away the stress and leaves you free to enjoy every moment. As part of a global community of Travel Counsellors, my clients also benefit from our 24/7 duty office while they are away, offering real peace of mind. I was honoured to be awarded Honeymoon Planner of the Year 2025 at the Irish Wedding Awards, following nominations from many of my wonderful honeymoon couples.

I have travelled extensively across the globe, including Australia, Canada, Alaska, the Caribbean, USA, Asia and many European destinations including a recent family trip of a lifetime to Lapland. Working alongside our team of over 80 Irish Travel Counsellors, I have access to an extensive network of more than 500 trusted suppliers and dedicated Destination Managers, allowing me to handcraft each trip to perfectly match your style, interests and budget.

I am not restricted to standard office hours, so we can chat at a time that suits you, whether that is in person over a coffee or via Zoom from the comfort of your home. Travel Counsellors are licensed and bonded in Ireland by the Irish Aviation Authority, so you can be confident that your money is fully protected.

I look forward to getting to know you and helping you bring your travel plans to life. If you are thinking about your next holiday and would value friendly, expert guidance, please get in touch. It would be my pleasure to design your dream, tailor‑made escape.

With just a few hours to explore, I was still able to experience its rich history, iconic landmarks and lively neighbourhoods. Dropping bags and getting your bearings I started by taking a taxi into the city and dropping my luggage at a b

Nicola is an absolute pleasure to deal with, her level of customer care goes above and beyond

Amanda Cummins

Killarney

Nicola was recommended to us by a friend who's honeymoon she had arranged also. We gave Nicola some general ideas of what we wanted and when we were free to travel and she did all the rest. She gave us lots of different options to choose from and was always available to answer questions we might have had. Once we decided which option suited us best, Nicola arranged everything. From start to finish the holiday went seamlessly. She was very knowledgeable and great to deal with.

Ciara Harrington

Nicola has been such an incredible advisor , guide and key organiser for our trip to London recently. A group of us headed off with flights hotel and everything was organised. She is superb at her job great to deal with and always available on the phone. It made our lives so easy I organising the group the check ins and all the updates. We will be back thank you Nicola

Linda Ryan

We received a very professional and personal service with Nicola. She is so patient, attentive, efficient & knowledgeable. She listened to our requests, made suggestions and put a package together for us. You’re guaranteed a stress free service. She went above and beyond our expectations to ensure our trip was planned to suit our needs. Highly recommend her, and will definitely use her expertise again.

S Hanrahan

We could not recommend Nicola enough! She organised such an enjoyable and unforgettable honeymoon for us to South Africa & The Maldives & we had the holiday of a lifetime! From our initial consultation to the very end of our trip, she made the whole process so simple & nothing was a problem. We did not have to worry about a thing & we will most definitely be booking many more trips with her!

Michelle Clifford

Killarney

Nicola was absolutely fantastic, she planned our honeymoon to Zanzibar & South Africa, over a 4 week block and it was nothing less than amazing. We were not the most decisive when it came to our destination but Nicola had great patience with us and planned a trip of a lifetime, checking in along the way to ensure things were moving smoothly! She had fantastic communication and attention to detail! Highly recommend Nicola, and I cannot wait to plan another trip!

Alison Wrat

Cork

We highly recommend Nicola. She organised our two-week family holiday across three destinations, and it couldn't have gone better. As a busy family, having someone we could trust was invaluable. Nicola listened to what we wanted and exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was ideal throughout, transfers were seamless, and every detail was taken care of, allowing us to fully relax. She was calm, friendly, professional, and thorough throughout. We’ll definitely book with Nicola again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Thank you, Nicola!

L Cremin

Killarney

We recommend Nicola highly for anyone looking for a travel advisor for an upcoming trip. Nicola organised our honeymoon to Thailand/Dubai in March, which really made the whole process smooth & stress-free. She has great communication skills and really listened to what we wanted from our trip. Unfortunately, we had to make an unexpected trip home due to family reasons and Nicola was so responsive when we contacted her. This was at the beginning of the US-Israel / Iran war when a lot of flights were cancelled through Dubai etc. Nicola was able to organise flights for us within a matter of days to get home safely. From the initial planning stages right through to the unexpected changes during our trip, Nicola went above and beyond for us. Her professionalism, calm approach and genuine care made an incredibly stressful situation so much easier to deal with. We felt completely looked after throughout the entire experience. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nicola again and have already recommended her to family and friends. Thank you Nicola, Maryann & Mike

M Doherty

Beaufort

Nicola really made planning our honeymoon a breeze. Attention to detail, and thoughtful reminders really made it the easiest part of our wedding. She really understood the "vision". In particular, when I found out a few weeks before travel that one of the hotels my wife and I were due to stay in was closing and I was freaking out,I called Nicola who was already working on an alternative. Lovely thoughtful notes were arranged for each hotel we stayed at in Singapore and Bali making our honeymoon even more memorable. The MyTC app was a great benefit as well as a one-stop shop for our itinerary and travel docs. Looking forward to booking more adventures with Nicola in future

D Magee

Nicola planned our Japan honeymoon for us. She was on the ball with every bit of planning from beginning to end and was great to work within our budget and specific dates. We are using her services again for a trip next year. She was so helpful and full of knowledge. I would highly recommend her services for any type of holiday

G Conway

Kerry

I can’t recommend Nicola highly enough. She planned our family holiday last October and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She really understood our brief, listened to what we wanted, and delivered exactly that. Everything was so well organised, stress-free, and perfect for us as a family. We had the best time and would happily book with Nicola again. Thank you Nicola!

I had a fantastic experience working with Nicola. She showed incredible patience throughout the entire process, even as I suggested multiple different itineraries and made several changes along the way. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for her - she remained helpful, positive, and attentive at every step. Her willingness to listen and adapt to my preferences made the whole planning experience smooth and enjoyable. I truly appreciated how accommodating and professional she was, ensuring everything was tailored perfectly to what I wanted. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a stress-free and personalised travel planning experience
