Allyson Ropertz

It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to my webpage!

I love travel, and have made this my career for the past 36 years! There are so many amazing places to visit, and not only overseas, but in our own beautiful country as well as our neighboring countries!

So, if you're looking for a beach holiday, a safari, a honeymoon, any type of cruise, or a business trip I will be happy to assist you.

I've gained plenty of knowledge and experience working in the travel industry over the past 37 years, in both leisure and corporate travel. I've organised and accompanied some large school sports groups, and arranged some high school tours. I can assist with special interest tours, such as golfing, photography, or church groups.

I pride myself on giving exceptional service to my clients, and like to develop a relationship with my clients based on trust and integrity.

As a Travel Counsellor, my time is flexible, so I'm available when you need me.

We have our own online system, where I have access to hotels, car rental and attractions all over the world.

The most important thing that we offer at Travel Counsellors is our exclusive Travel Trust, which protects your money should any company or airline I use go out of business.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to travel extensively, and have seen many wonderful places. Some of my favorite cities are Prague, Florence, Vienna and Rio De Janeiro. Scenery wise, I loved the Canadian Rockies, New Zealand, and Norway. For interesting and exotic places, I have to say India really took my breath away.

When I am not working, I love to paint......and visit our wonderful Kruger National Park!

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Kaokoland

24 April 2018

I just returned from the most incredible trip to Kaokoland (the most north western part of Namibia), which I’d like to share with you. It is a very remote part of the world, and I arrange this trip for myself through one of my suppliers that are an adventure company. On this trip we had the pleasure of having Dirk and Altie, they are both well-known TV producers from the program Vrydag 4 Uur, with us on the trip. They filmed the entire trip, including some amazing drone footage which will be screened on TV later in the year. We entered...

Mauritius - Paradise on your doorstep…..

17 May 2012

After a short 4 hour flight, we were welcomed at the airport with music, sega dancers and cocktails in coconuts…we felt like we had landed in paradise! We stayed at the 5 Star Shandrani Resort and Spa, which is located 10 minutes away from the airport, and it is a perfect hotel for a conference. It is has 327 rooms, 5 restaurants, 2 swimming pools, 2 bars, 3 beaches and a wellness centre. Their all-inclusive package includes all meals and most drinks, from the time of arrival until departure. This is really worth it, as drinks in Mauritius are expensive!...

Dear Allyson Thank you for the wonderful service we received from you when planning our recent overseas trip.

You also saved the day when we nearly had to cancel our trip due to our documents being stolen!! I am delighted to recommend your service to anyone else planning either holiday or business travel. kind regards Karen

In this day and age service delivery is almost non-existent, and it is rare to receive basic service. Allyson always steps up to the plate and delivers exceptional service. She does not make empty promises and you can always be assured of attention to detail and getting it right the first time every time. It is a pleasure to deal with her. Thank you Allyson.

Everything she has done has been in the most efficient way. I will definitely give both my colleagues and friends Allyson's contact details, she is a pleasure to do business with. Thanks Shelley Buskin

We have used Allyson for two family holidays in the last two years.

She is willing to go the extra mile to find the best travel options and her feedback clearly demonstrates her understanding of our travel requirements. Allyson is a pleasure to work with and we will continue booking our travel with her. Keep it up Allyson!!

Allyson was extremely helpful and professional, she went over over and above the call of duty, at an extremely sensitive time. Thank you Allyson, next time we will plan a joyous holiday together! Gia

Allyson put together a fantastic itinerary for our honeymoon. She took our preferences into account, and went above and beyond our expectations, to ensure we got the holiday we dreamed of, at a budget we could afford. Thank you so much for all your help and for making our dream honeymoon come true.

Allyson, thank you for organizing the most amazing family holiday ever. We had such a good time, everything went according to plan, and never once did we feel lost, or unsure of ourselves. You searched tirelessly for solutions to fit our budget and tight time frames. The Carnival cruise liner was exceptional value for money and I cannot wait to book again. Thank you and well done!

Allyson was a great help in identifying hotels and flights that met my requirements, including airport transfers. I had special requirements due to my elderly parents travelling with me and she ensured that all my requirements were met. We had an amazing holiday and everything worked out with no hassles from the time we flew out to the time we got back. The hotel was also stunning.

Allyson made the booking of an international flight stress free giving me several alternatives to choose from. I appreciated that there was no pressure to make a hasty decision but to rather make my decision at my own pace. I would not hesitate in using her services in the future or recommending her to family friends or colleagues. Thank you

Allyson planned the most wonderful honeymoon for us where everything was perfectly planned. She provided quick responses to emails and great selection of hotels and resort accommodation. We will most definitely use Allyson for future travels as her service is friendly, quick and reliable. Thank you Allyson for helping plan our amazing honeymoon!

We had the most Magical honeymoon at Indigo Bay. We would recommend this to anyone as a holiday and we cannot wait to go back there... It is true paradise! Thank you Allyson! Your service was fantastic; you were super-efficient and couldn’t have matched us to a more perfect destination for our needs. We look forward to booking through you again Warm regards Sarah and Gareth Davies

We had a complicated itinerary to South America recently which was professionally and efficiently handled by Allyson. She was available when an unexpected snag developed and we felt looked after, a level of service which exceeded expectations. We were booked into excellent hotels, transfers and excursions were efficiently organised and it was excellent value for money. We would highly recommend her services.

On behalf of Dr. Andrew S Ramdass: Allyson is by far the most reliable travel agent I have had the opportunity to deal with. She did everything I required and so much more. She saved us a lot of money and the dread of cancelling the trip to a very important yearly congress (WCIM). I am thankful to her for going out of her way to ensure that my trip is successful and runs smoothly. Yours Truly

Allyson is fantastic to deal with. She is always polite and prompt with responses. You definitely get the best deals with Allyson.

The service I have always received from Allyson has been exceptional. She is efficient, friendly and without fail. I intend using her for all my future travel arrangements.

I am very happy to deal with Allyson in regards to my travel arrangements as she always goes the extra mile to find out what I'm looking for, to give me various options and to follow through with me afterwards to ensure I was quite satisfied, and pleased, with the car/hotel/flight/holiday that she had booked. Perhaps even more important is her enthusiasm for travel and for planning holidays.

I have used Allyson's services extensively. She is the most amazing travel agent, always available for a last minute change in travel itineraries and I recommend her without reservation.

The nature of my job requires a lot of travel in Africa as well as Europe and US. Regularly the travel plans need to change and Allyson just came through. The most remarkable effort was when the volcanic dust storm closed most airports in Western Europe and I was stuck in Paris Airport with my flight already cancelled, I phoned her 10 minutes later she phoned me back and I got out on Qatar Airways.

Allyson, has been doing my business travel bookings for a while now, and I know that whatever I request, I never have to check, even down to silly things like, and I only want a window seat when I fly. Nothing is too much to ask. I would recommend her any day.
