PARIS the city of love!

06 May 2018

We were invited to our annual Gold Conference in October 2017, a boat cruise from Genoa to Marseille and we decided to do a quick stopover in Paris. Paris may be the city of love and is one of the most romantic places in the world, and I’ve been having a little romance with the city itself. It turns out I LOVE Paris. We spent the day wandering among some of the main attractions, stopping for café lattes and macaroons, and we explored the ‘City of Light’ on a hop-on-hop-off bus tour! This is the BEST way to explore Paris, especially if you don’t have much time. You can choose the Paris attractions that you want to see from the Eiffel Tower, to the Champ Elysées to L’Arc de Triomphe. The Eiffel Tower night tour is definitely a must to do! While many people focus on summer time travel when they’re planning their vacations in Paris, it can be tough to find reasonable flight prices to Paris in the summer. So, for price conscious travellers, who are looking to avoid the tourist onslaught of the peak season, or anyone who prefers to experience the city when it’s not filled with as many tourists, then there’s always Paris in October. The good news is that you’ll find the prices on most travel-related items are lower than in the summer, and if you’re lucky you’ll still get some good weather. Now, as you’ll no doubt realize, there’s never a time in Paris when all the tourists have gone home. It’s a year-round tourist destination, so you can expect to see tour groups being led around by colorful flags at pretty much any time of year. But the crowds at major tourist stops like the Louvre and Eiffel Tower will be significantly less if you’re planning a visit to Paris in October than if you’re one of the many visiting in July. And of course, the lower prices are usually a hit with travellers, too.

Johannesburg Memorable Sightseeing Day Tours!

Johannesburg City Tour The tour sets off for Constitution Hill, home of South Africa’s architectural marvel, the Constitutional Court and site of Johannesburg’s Old Fort Prison (closed Sundays). You will meander through the newly renovated, quaint and quirky suburb of Melville with its vibey shops and trendy restaurants, and stop at Newtown, home of the Johannesburg Market Theatre. Museum Africa is Johannesburg’s premier cultural history museum; reminiscent of a 1950’s Shebeen or pub, and it’s here you’ll really sense the soul of the inner city.

It’s a legend. SOWETO, acronym for South Western Township, is home to over 2 million people, who, despite living in crowded and chaotic conditions, have a tangible sense of community, one which ironically, the ordered, walled, elitist northern suburbs lack. Inside Soweto, we visit the Hector Pieterson Museum, and discover the cause of the tragic riots which led to his death; we pass Mandela House, and give you time to visit this fascinating little museum (own account).

Close neighbour to this superb natural reserve, is Sun City, one of South Africa’s most popular theme resorts, and you’ll have full access to the casino for a little flutter or two.

From past to present, we’ll be exploring five cultures at the Lesedi Cultural Village, heart and home to families of a range of African tribes, all living harmoniously in traditional homesteads.

It is with great pleasure that I and my wife Erika, had the opportunity to fulfil our dream holiday on a cruise to Greece. A friend recommended Petro to us to do our arrangements. Boy! We were treated form our first call until our goodbye (hopefully not the last goodbye) as if we were royalty. When we panicked, Petro was the one that calmed us and reassured us everything will be fine. I will recommend her services any day anytime! Thank you Petro for a care free holiday! You were amazing!

Petro Rossouw has been absolutely amazing during these trying times. She has gone above and beyond to keep us up to date with the situation. She has always been able to give us the best advice. I am truly grateful to Petro for her efficiency and loyalty. We know that we are in good hands, which has eliminated a lot of stress. We will always go to Petro for all future bookings. Thank you Petro for being an incredible travel agent and an incredible person. You have truly been a blessing to us.

We use Petro for all of our International travels. We have never had any problems. She assisted us with our visa applications. Petro guided us through everything. She sends us WhatsApp messages when we leave, when we are on our trip and when we return back home. She is an absolute star! My daughter travelled for the first time on her own to Argentina and I was not worried. Petro guided her through everything. I am so grateful. Petro is passionate about her work. Thanks Petro.

It gives me great pleasure writing this testimonial after returning from a great adventure and awesome holiday. It didn't take much for Petro to understand exactly what I was looking for, leaving everything in her more than capable hands (which I didn't realise at the time just how capable). I got updates when I needed and was informed with due notice when something had to be paid or sent through. I must be honest with so little involvement from my side there was a little worrying voice in me when we embarked on our journey, but as soon as we got to the airport I realised that voice was completely unnecessary and it only got better from there. From our great seats on the plane, thanks to her online check ins to the pick up services at the airports and hotels, everything without a hitch. The hotels she chose were amazing, not to mention the added benefits and complimentary features. Tours and trips organised by her from this side on our journey were perfect, not once did we wait for a taxi to come and pick us up or delay us. Even a phone call at the hotel just to make sure that we are fine and enjoying ourselves, this lady really gives it her all. Petro will definitely be my first step in planning our next trip or holiday.

What a pleasure it was working with Petro Rossouw! Petro helped to plan our Honeymoon from A - Z. I must say that in the 11 days spent in Thailand, Everything was 100% organised. We never had to stress about the travel arrangements so we could just relax and enjoy our stay. Thank you so much for planning our dream honeymoon, thanks to you we have the most amazing memories of Thailand and none of the issues that I keep hearing about from others. We will definitely be in contact to plan our next holiday.

As a frequent traveller I had numerous problems in the past UNTIL a friend introduced me to Petro Rossouw. Nothing is ever too much to ask for. Petro truly goes out of her way to assist me in all my travelling needs ... air tickets, accommodation, car hire, visas etc. I can strongly recommend her for efficient outstanding service! Thank you, Petro for all you have done in the past and I know that we will make use of your services again.

I just want to express our deepest gratitude to your agent, Petro Rossouw, for the excellent and personal service rendered to me on my recent trip to Uganda and Kenya. The fire at JKIA caused cancellations and then deferments of my flights. Petro kept in contact with me all the way the situation - even after hours - expressing concern for my welfare and doing everything possible within her power to get me on the soonest available flight back home. What was traumatic for other travellers was 'restful' for me because of the kindness and personal sacrifices made by Petro. Thank you so very much. I will have no hesitation at all recommending Travel Counsellors - especially Petro - to any person wanting to travel abroad. Grateful, Randolph Barnwell

I am rest assured that I am always getting the best! Thank you Petro you are great!

For the past 10 years Petro has been my personal travel agent, I found her very competent, helpful, patient and understanding. She is always willing to help under all circumstances at anytime. For a couple of years I was a platinum card holder (in other words I did a lot of travelling all over the world) and Petro was of great assistance and a pleasure to work with.
