It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Amanda van der Spuy. I am an independent Travel Counsellor, based in the Southern Midlands of KZN, and I have worked in the business and leisure travel industry for almost 32 years in South Africa.

I have a passion for travel and have personally travelled to most countries in Europe and within the Far East, the USA (I loved Disney World), Australia and more recently to Egypt and Jordan.

I am franchised to Travel Counsellors, which has over 1700 Travel Counsellors throughout the world and I have access to their combined support, expertise and experience, 24 hours a day.

Whatever your leisure travel needs are, I can assist you with a fast and efficient personal service and I offer a quick response to quotes and enquiries and up to date information on special offers and the best available deals.

In addition to this, I can save you the time and frustration of internet bookings. When the ash cloud hit, I was able to assist all my passengers quickly, however passengers who booked through the internet were left stranded.

For all your travel requirements give me a call.

Regards

Amanda

Distances shrink and time can stand still when Amanda attends to any travelling crisis! Of those I encounter many, being married to a non-obliging and non-voluntary forced traveller :-) Thank you for always answering any query, question and change in itinerary with a smile in your voice.

Amanda has arranged overseas travels for us on at least three occasions and we have found her to go far beyond the course of her duties in making our trips stress-free and enjoyable. She is efficient and extremely caring and considerate. We would not even consider using anyone else to organize our trips as we have complete confidence in her professionalism and personal attention.

Amanda booked my trip to Ecuador in South America which involved numerous connecting flights. The whole trip went very smoothly and she was always available when I made a few frantic after hour’s calls because of the time difference. If you want a hassle free and cost effective trip give Amanda a call!

Amanda, Your patience in allowing me to request so many changes, new alternative quotes and most of all your suggestions, based on my requests. At the end your suggestion (so cleverly done after reading my mind through my requests) turned out to be the best option! Now that is well done, no online faceless discount centre can provide me with that: Invaluable SERVICE, excellent service THANX!

Amanda's service to me has always been of on exceptional nature, whilst doing it for me in my official capacity, and now in my private capacity. I know that when I ask her to arrange something that it will get done, and that I do not have to concern myself with anything at all. Thank you for your excellent service, which is why I recommend you to everybody in need of a travel professional.

It's a testimony to her professionalism that after some ten years, Amanda is still our preferred "Travel Counsellor" even though we are usually hundreds and often thousands of kilometres apart. As further testimony, in the intervening years our Travel Counsellor has become a friend, but remains a totally professional operator, only a mouse-click away, to resolve our regular travel-riddles! Dankie Amanda!

I first met Amanda in the 1980’s when she did a booking for me to the USA & South America. I was very impressed with her industry knowledge and her attention to detail. I have followed her through 3 different Travel Agencies. She is an extremely capable and enthusiastic travel consultant, offering good practical advice. She has now started her own travel business & I will remain one of her clients.

Over the last few years I have used Amanda to arrange trips to Bangkok, Singapore, Vietnam, Buenos Aires and Rio. I left it up to her to do the air bookings, hotel bookings, transfers etc. Each trip has been a pleasure and the hotels she selected have been very good. I would recommend her as a travel agent.

Magical Mauritius

Mauritius – first thing that comes to mind is the green beautiful Palm trees, white sandy beaches and cocktails on the beach!! And all this is what you will get at the 5 Star Beachcomber Shandrani Hotel, which is just a 10 minute drive from the airport on the southern side of the island!
