It's Nice To Meet You
Welcome. I am Astrid, a Travel Counsellor based in Eldorado Park, South of Johannesburg.
I have more than 20 years of experience in the travel industry. In 2017, I started my own franchise business with Travel Counsellors. I have always loved to travel and experience new cultures. Therefore, becoming a Travel Counsellor was a natural progression. I’ve gained much experience and knowledge that will enable me to make your holiday one to remember.
I have travelled to the United Kingdom, the USA, UAE, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Mauritius, Brazil, Victoria Falls, Bali, Maldives, and throughout South Africa. Experiencing the Rio Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the F1 Grand Prix in Singapore, and a milestone birthday in the Maldives have been my most memorable holidays.
What I love about being a Travel Counsellor is having the ability to create and assist you with travel arrangements that will leave you with lasting memories. I am ready to create your dream holiday. I have access to over 700,000 hotels, airfares, car rentals, tours, and packages, and find a holiday that suits you will be easy for me.
I hope to share my passion for travel with you and help you make some special travel memories.

We had an excellent experience with Astrid Harrison from Travel Counsellors in arranging international travel for our son CJ to the USA. Astrid was professional, efficient, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. She took the stress out of booking and ensured that everything was handled with care and precision.
We are truly grateful for her dedication and personal attention — it made all the difference during this important time for our family. Highly recommended!

I want to wholeheartedly commend Astrid for her exceptional dedication and customer-centric service. When flights for my family seemed impossible to find, Astrid tirelessly searched and secured suitable options, keeping me consistently updated throughout the process. Despite us missing our flight due to traveling from Limpopo to O.R. Tambo airport, Astrid was immediately available to assist-she offered to book accommodation, offloaded us from the original flight, and secured new flights within the same price range. What truly sets her apart is her proactive approach: she checked us in for the next flight, continuously followed up to ensure we wouldn’t miss it or incur extra costs, all done outside normal working hours. Astrid’s foresight and genuine care make her the best travel agent I have ever worked with, and it is why I have always trusted-and will continue to trust-her with all my travel bookings and holidays.

As a first time international traveller, it was a bit daunting as a single parent traveling with my son, but Astrid checked everything and made sure we had all that we needed. The trip was long, but the excitement my son had to get to the UK to see his granny and grandpa was next level. Thank you, Astrid, for efficient service and assisting along the way.

First of all, let me thank you for designing such a wonderful and memorable trip. For suggesting that we do the city tour bus ride. Ever since we got in touch with you, I could see your commitment in making our trip memorable & the best it could be. It was indeed a smooth sailing for us. Everything was available to us at ease. Having the app made things so easy. You put so much of yourself into our trip to the States, from arranging our visa applications/appointments, sorting out our flights & making every moment special. The best was when you joined us for our trip, not many consultants do that. The friendship & trust that was created is bonus. I appreciate you & your service, & will definitely recommend your services to others.

Working with Astrid was such a pleasure. She not only found the most cost-effective plane ticket; she quickly worked out a trip with the shortest wait times. Moreover, she gave me great advice about accommodation, and the best time to check-out of the hotel so I don’t wait in the airport for hours on end - I hadn't even thought that far yet. Not only am I looking forward to my trip, but I am already dreaming of the next adventure that she is going to plan for me.

I recently had to plan a trip to Cape Town.
I searched for flights on all the local airlines, but struggled to find the exact dates and times that I wanted to travel.
In sheer desperation I contacted Travel Counsellors to assist me. I had the pleasure of being assisted by Astrid Harrison.
I told her exactly what I needed, and a couple of hours later, I had my flight details.
She also checked us in online for both legs of the flight which made the trip a lot less stressful.
She assured me that should I encounter any emergencies, she would be available 24 hours to help.
I would definitely recommend her to anyone who plan to travel local or international.

I wanted to write this short note from us to thank you for the warm an engaging service that you recently extended to us for our European holiday. The accuracy, detail and consistency enabled us to be at ease as Mellissa travelled by herself to join me in Italy.
The value that we derived in the context of the cost implication made it all the more enjoyable.
Mellissa was so pleased with your service that she offered a couple from Malaysia and India your details and assured them that you would be able to deal with their travel plans – comprehensively! Expect to hear from them as they arrange their safari adventures.
