Welcome to my page! My name is Simone Ryan and I’m based in Dublin and bring over 18 years of experience in the travel industry.
Travel has always been my passion, and I feel incredibly lucky to turn that passion into a career. I’ve been fortunate to explore some extraordinary places around the world; from watching whales breach in Hermanus, to spending time with the Masai tribe in Kenya, to soaking up the summertime glamour of St. Moritz, and wandering through the colourful, vintage car lined streets of Havana.
I also have a huge love for cruising. Some of my happiest memories are from family cruises with my children, the mix of adventure, relaxation, and time together is something we all adore. It’s a style of travel that has become very special to us. I’m delighted to be a Travel Counsellor, as it allows me to be available at a time that truly suits you, not just during traditional business hours. Many of my clients enjoy video calls, and I’m always happy to connect that way. I specialise in long haul, cruise and tailor made travel, creating bespoke experiences designed around your needs.
Travel Counsellors are licensed and bonded in Ireland by the Commission for Aviation Regulation, so your holiday is fully protected and your money is safe. If you’re planning a trip, I’d love to help you find the perfect holiday for you and your loved ones. I look forward to hearing from you. Warmest wishes, Simone Ryan

My experience with Simone as my travel counsellor was absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. From our very first conversation, it was clear that she is not only an expert in her field, but also someone who genuinely cares about creating the best possible experience for her clients.
Every recommendation Simone made was spot on. The destinations, accommodations, activities, and even the smallest details she suggested exceeded my expectations. It felt like every part of the trip had been carefully curated with a deep understanding of my preferences and travel style. Thanks to her expertise, the entire journey flowed perfectly and was completely stress-free.
What truly sets Simone apart, however, is her attentiveness and dedication. She was always available to answer questions, offer suggestions, and provide reassurance whenever needed. Her communication was clear, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire planning process and during the trip itself. Knowing that I could rely on her at any moment gave me total peace of mind and allowed me to fully enjoy the experience.
Simone combines extensive knowledge of the travel industry with a warm, personal approach that makes all the difference. She goes beyond simply booking a trip — she creates memorable experiences tailored specifically to each client. It is rare to find someone who balances professionalism, expertise, and genuine care so effortlessly.
I can confidently say that this was one of the best travel experiences I have ever had, and Simone played a huge role in making it so special. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a travel counsellor who is reliable, experienced, attentive, and truly passionate about what she does. I would not hesitate to work with her again and recommend her without reservation.

Simone is an extremely dedicated and attentive agent. She assisted me throughout the whole planning process, during the trip itself, and even after. She made me feel heard and safe all the way.
It was the first time I contacted an agent different from the one I’ve had for years back in Brazil, and I’m completely delighted.
Will definitely plan and buy next trips with her.

Simone was a tremendous help in planning a wonderful trip to Thailand, ensuring we saw some of the musts, while also allowing time for us to do our own thing. The organizing of flights, transfers, suitable accommodation and the personalized itinerary made us feel relaxed & reassured that our needs were being met. She was very supportive throughout and remained in regular contact. In short, a wonderful agent!!!

We honestly can’t thank Simone enough for organising the most magical holiday we’ve ever had. From Florida to Universal Studios, NASA, outlet shopping (with the best deals!), and then an unforgettable week cruising with MSC America, every single detail was perfectly planned.
Simone went above and beyond, recommending the premium drinks package and specialty restaurants on the cruise, which truly made a huge difference to our experience. She also explained everything clearly in advance, including online check-in, making embarkation smooth and stress-free.
We loved every single minute of our holiday. Everything flowed effortlessly, and it was so reassuring knowing Simone had thought of absolutely everything.
We cannot recommend her enough, she is professional, attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Thanks to Simone, our holidays were truly magical ✨
Forever grateful ❤️

Simone Ryan has been looking after all my business, personal and families travel arrangements for a number of years now and I find her an exceptional, professional, accommodating individual. Nothing is to much trouble for Simone either big or small and I will continue getting Simone to look after all my travel plans going forward and I have even recommended Simone to business contacts and contacts.

When I first thought about this trip, I wanted to enjoy it as an adult trip, without the kids. So, I asked my husband what he thought about cruising. He is usually happy with any itinerary or destination I suggest, so I decided to book the MSC Dvina because of the itinerary. I know some people, when you talk about cruising, prefer new ships, others go for the itinerary. I am the type of person who
Jordan was on my bucket list for a long time so I was delighted to go on this trip with G Adventures. I was so excited to go that I was counting down the days to the trip. I flew with Egypt Air and had a two hour connection in Cairo before going to Amman. I really loved Amman and I regret that I didn’t add an extra night there. It is a very safe city with lots of options to taste their local and i
I remember when I was a child watching the Brazilian soap operas recorded in Rio de Janeiro. I used to imagine myself there rollerblading on the boardwalks in Leblon with the view of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Christ the Redeemer, listening to Bossa Nova.
Rio de Janeiro is an inviting city with a lovely combination of beach and city. When I finished college I decided to take my first trip on a pla
I have been to Buenos Aires three times, my friends and I just love the city vibe. My last trip there I stayed at The Design Suites Buenos Aires for four nights. If you like a quiet and charming neighbourhood, I recommend you stay in Palermo or Recoleta. They are nice areas to stay with lots of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and 5* hotels.
