Lisa Smith - Travel Counsellors, Kidlington, Oxford UK

Lisa Smith - Travel Counsellors, Kidlington, Oxford UK I pride myself on providing the best service and will go to great lengths to help organise your travel arrangements no matter what they may be.

I am an independent travel agent in Kidlington, Oxford. I have worked in the travel industry for nearly 30 years. I joined Travel Counsellors in 1997 and before that I worked my way up from Trainee Consultant to a Manager at Thomas Cook. I joined Travel Counsellors as I wanted to concentrate on giving my customers the highest possible levels of personal service and independent travel advice. As yo

ur own professional Travel Counsellor I can use our award winning technology and my personal expertise to tailor make exactly the right holiday to suit your needs. Rather than selling you a standard tour operator package, I can quickly search through hundreds of different flight, accommodation and transfer alternatives to find something that suits your needs exactly. Quite often this means I can build you a bespoke holiday at a cheaper price than the standard holiday package you might get elsewhere. I recognise that not everyone is free to discuss their travel arrangements during the working week. My company’s technology enables me to work from home and means you can contact me at times when most other travel agents are unavailable, including evenings and weekends. I love cruise holidays especially on board the Royal Caribbean International fleet and have been on quite a few of their ships taking in various itineraries. This is my speciality along with the Far East which I have extensive knowledge of and can tailor make anything you like. I was also lucky enough to travel to Cape Town, South Africa twice in 2007 and loved every minute. I can help you put together the ultimate itinerary including a safari, maybe shark diving or a wine lands tour - anything you like. To be honest I have a contagious passion for travel so anything you're thinking of I would love to share your ideas and help you put together the perfect trip. Along with all the extras you may need from car parking, travel insurance, executive lounge passes or attraction tickets. My business is based purely on providing my customers with the highest possible levels of personal service and I would be delighted to assist you with your holiday plans.

LUXURY ALL INCLUSIVE ANTIGUA WITH BUSINESS CLASS FLIGHTS FROM £4,725pp
Turn up the Caribbean dial and let the good part begin before you even leave the UK. Think Gatwick made easy with priority check in, fast‑track security and lounge time to ease you in. Then it’s wheels up into lie‑flat comfort, settling into Club World as the sunshine draws closer.
Touch down and slow things down at Blue Waters Resort & Spa. Tucked into lush gardens by the sea, it’s intimate, polished and effortlessly stylish. Fresh white spaces, warm wood and a laid‑back Caribbean feel throughout.
Days drift by nicely. Powder‑soft sands lead to tucked‑away coves. Calm, clear water is perfect for a swim or a paddle. Prefer to pause? There’s a lounger waiting on the beach deck or beside an infinity pool that melts into the horizon.

Your All Inclusive keeps things flowing with great dining, premium drinks and a minibar topped up daily. Add in non‑motorised watersports and sunset drinks with canapés at Veronica’s Beach Bar, and you’re set.
We’ve made it even sweeter with a special Business Class fare, 35% off your hotel stay and a $150 resort credit per room for those little extras that make it all feel even better.
