It's Nice To Meet You

Hi, I am Rosemary Chawke and I have been working in the travel industry for over 30 years. My extensive travel experience allows me to offer first-hand knowledge and tailored advice on destinations worldwide, enhancing every journey with expert advice and personalised recommendations to help make your trip a memorable experience.

With over 30 years’ experience in the travel industry I can help make your dream come true. I specialise in Luxury celebration holidays, weddings abroad and honeymoons. I got married in Mauritius and honeymooned in South Africa, so if you are thinking of getting married abroad, I have first-hand experience to help plan your 'Big Day'.

I have been lucky enough to have travelled extensively to many destinations throughout my career including: Mauritius, South Africa, Vietnam, Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, USA (New York, Boston, Las Vegas, Florida) South America, Mexico, Barbados, Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, Canary Islands, Turkey, Greece, Cyprus and many European cities.

I have cruised on numerous occasions in both the Med & the Caribbean and again can highly recommend cruising for all. Cruising has become a really popular holiday for everyone and great value.

South Africa is a personal favourite of mine. I have travelled extensively and I would be happy to share my first-hand knowledge of this unique and exciting part of the world. Whether it is to spend a night on a Ostrich farm, visit some of the region's best wine estates and indulge in a wine tasting experience, drive the garden route or get up close to the elephants on your safari experience , I can help make that trip extra special for you.

I'm well known in Tipperary and beyond for offering a high level of customer care and personal touch. Because of this, I have a huge loyal customer following, most of whom have recommended me to family and friends.

I work from home which means I can deal with enquiries at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends. I appreciate my clients lead busy lifestyles and don’t need the hassle of traffic, inadequate parking and endless queues in a travel agent or spend endless hours surfing the net.

In February 2007, I was honoured to achieve Gold Status which is awarded in recognition of excellence in customer service and I am happy to say I have retained it every year since throughout my 20 years running my own business.

So if you are planning a trip that goes beyond the ordinary you have come to the right place. Let my passion and professional advice guide you on your next adventure and together we can make that dream come true.

Feel free to contact me to discuss your next holiday on 052 61 29812 or by email rosemary.chawke@travelcounsellors.com

We booked our honeymoon for February 2015 with Rosemary Chawke and I could not recommend her enough.after visiting a few travel agents before hand and still not being satisfied with the feedback & hotels we were getting from them, we decided to contact Rosemary. We heard about her from a neighbour and wanted to see what she could do for us. After meeting with her on a few occasions,several phone calls and emails, she put together for us our perfect honeymoon. We could email her about anything day or night and she would always get back to us promptly ( I even got a reply at 1am one morning from her after emailing her with my predicament of not been able to choose between 2 fab hotels!!). There was never a shortage of information from her and she is also such a lovely and chatty person so it was very easy to feel at ease with her. So if you are looking for that extra special honeymoon or even just a normal holiday, I would have no hesitation in recommending Rosemary.

I am glad we chose to travel with your company for that once in a lifetime holiday. The flights were fine - no delays - no problems. The locations of the hotels was perfect. Everywhere we wanted to go was accessible to us. The staff were friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Thanks again for organising such a great holiday for us.

Rosemary has organised many a trip for my family holidays and breaks away with friends, I am just back from our latest girls holiday and as usual everything had been planned to the highest standard we have come to expect when our trips are organised by Rosemary. Can't wait for the next one to see what she can come up with. I have recommended and will continue to recommend her services to friends and family.

I was looking for a different type of holiday this time. To do a tour of Tuscany with an organised group and Tour Guide. Rosemary came back with an excellent week of organised tours to see the beautiful area of Tuscany taking in all the relevant places of interests. It was done with her usual high professionalism and friendliness and as always was very helpful to help in any way. Thank you again Rosemary, I couldn't recommend you highly enough when booking any sort of holiday/break away.

Can always be assured of top class service every time. I love the way I can describe what I would want and Rosemary always fully understands and is so helpful. I would comfortably recommend Rosemary to any of my friends.

Rosemary is always so helpful and I would always recommend her to friends for booking their trips/holidays. My son Shane booked a group trip with Rosemary when going to New Zealand from college and she had everything so well organised for them. Rosemary is always so friendly and great to give advice on any type of holidays.

I contacted Rosemary as she had been recommended to me by various people and found she was very helpful in recommending a suitable holiday location and accomodation for my partner and I. When we arrived back she contacted me to ensure we were happy with everything, which we were. She is always very cheerful on the phone and ready to help in any way possible I know I can contact her and leave her expertise to sort out everything for us. Wishing her continued success,

We booked our honeymoon through Rosemary and were delighted with the service she provided. Rosemary was informative, helpful and while she was very professional throughout, she brought a pleasant personal touch to our conversations. We weren't sure where we wanted to go, however Rosemary went through all the locations with us in terms of the weather and what we could expect on arrival. This helped us pick our final destination with confidence, and we can't wait to get there!

We received a lot of advice when planning our wedding but one of the best decisions we made was to contact Rosemary to organise our honeymoon! From start to finish our itinerary was perfectly paced with all the extra information on the various stops that you will not receive from other operators. We went on our dream holiday to Mauritius and South Africa and it was great to have all the stops and connections prearranged from someone who genuinely knows both the area and the hotels having been there herself. The hotels were top class and I could not fault any part of the trip. We asked for a few specific tours that were off the normal route and Rosemary delivered the perfect match for what we wanted. We would be happy to recommend Rosemary to anyone looking to plan a headache free holiday.

Great dealing with Rosemary. Such a contrast from the lack of interest and enthusiasm found on the high street travel agents. Rosemary is excellent! She was a pleasure to deal with.

You know the saying "if a jobs worth doing then do it right" when it comes to travel Rosemary was the person to do it for us. She responded quickly and always within the time frame she committed. If I meet her in the bank or on the street and run a query by her she never forgets it and is back with a reply same day/night. She provided us with options so we could pick what suited our budget.

I would highly recommend Rosemary Chawke to Family and Friends and have done so in the past. The service we have received from Rosemary over the last 2yrs has being oustanding. Always so accommodating to us and so understanding to our needs. Her patience is unbelievable as we have at times chopped and changed dates. I do not have enough space here to put in how helpful and friendly Rosemary Chawke is.

Aoife Halligan

I find my dealings with Rosemary to be very professional and would recommend her as a great person to do business with. In these days where the internet is so dominant, it's nice to have a local travel agent who you feel cares about you and your holiday arrangements.

If you want efficiency and a thoroughly professional service go to Rosemary Chawke. We travel with the security of knowing that everything has been perfectly organised. All queries are dealt with promptly. Nothing is too much trouble.

Rosemary was very helpful when we arranged to meet her about our holiday to Italy. She planned it very well and met all our needs perfectly.
