My husband, John, has always wanted to go to Uzbekistan to travel along part of the Silk Road. Having made a stab at planning it myself, I contacted Jenny, who we'd used before, and said "What do you know about travelling in Uzbekistan?" She quickly found us a small group (14 people) tour for two weeks with an itinerary that seemed perfect. Never having been on a group tour before, we were a little anxious, but we really didn't need to be - as a group we all got on really wel

Every May - give or take a pandemic - I return to Marrakech. What started as a reunion with friends from my Paris days has become a treasured tradition: sun, souks and a year's worth of catching up over tagines and wine. By now, we know the medina like locals - well, almost - and even a few stallholders recognise us! Over the years, we've enjoyed the occasional day trip into the Atlas Mountains and even taken a cookery class to master a few Moroccan dishes. One year, I was ev

Earlier this year, I experienced a fabulous three-night sailing on the brand-new Norwegian Aqua - and I'm excited to share the highlights! I've been fortunate to experience some wonderful cruises over recent years - from river cruising along the Danube with Avalon Waterways to exploring Turkey and Greece with Azamara - but this was my first time sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line, and I was genuinely impressed. Joined by over 100 fellow Travel Counsellors, I discovered a sh

We were planning a multi-stop trip to visit friends in Sydney and Auckland and sought quotes from three sources. Jenny, who was personally known to us, responded promptly with a competitive quote and was flexible in aligning with the other options we'd received. Our journey included Sydney, Auckland, Fiji and Hong Kong,

We've worked with Jenny a couple of times to help us book our holidays over the years, and she never disappoints. Most recently, Jenny organised our family get-together at the Blue Sea Island Resort in Rhodes. She was incredibly patient, taking her time to capture all our requirements and making sure everyone's needs were considered. The resort was perfect for bringing the family together - we had a wonderful stay with plenty of space for everyone and beautiful surroundings t

We discussed and planned our holiday of a lifetime for a few years, and after having to postpone due to the Jasper wildfires, finally set off for Canada in May 2025. We flew to Calgary and stayed in Banff and then Jasper before taking the Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver, and then on to Tofino and Victoria on Vancouver Island. Our expectations were high - this was twice as much as we had ever spent on a holiday before - but they were exceeded. Highlights? The Rocky Mounta
