It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome, my name is Chantel and I am your personal Travel Counsellor.

I live in Allen’s Nek in Johannesburg, however I’m a Capetonian born and bred.

I have over 20 years of experience in the travel industry and I joined Travel Counsellors in 2016, where I have started my own travel franchise. I have gained invaluable knowledge over the years by taking on leadership roles and learning all aspects of the travel industry. This knowledge will benefit you, my client, as I take on the responsibility of ensuring that I not only meet but exceed your expectations. No detail is too small!

I have personally travelled to the United Kingdom, Mauritius, Kuala Lumpur, Las Vegas, Paris, Amsterdam, Bali, Dubai, India, Thailand, Malawi, Uganda, Cancun, Australia, Croatia and throughout beautiful South Africa.

I have experience in travel from family holidays, honeymoons, business travel, group bookings, organised tours, school and sports tours and anything to do with travel. I have learnt that no query in this industry is the same and I love the challenge of putting together an itinerary that I have never done before.

I love being a Travel Counsellor because I can offer my clients the best service by working out of the comfort of my home all the while giving them the full attention that they desire. I will go the extra mile to ensure that no detail has been forgotten. I have access to deals at very competitive prices – no matter where you want to travel to.

My loyal clients speak with praise and satisfaction for the memories they cherish on the vacation trips that we planned together. It would be my pleasure to offer my services and to create your lifetime memories by planning your unique dream holiday!

I would like to say thank you for all your assistance in arranging our holiday to Phuket. Everything went smoothly – from my 1st call to start the booking process, to the last flight and all the transfers and pick-ups in between! We could not have asked for a better Travel Counsellor!!

I found Chantel very professional, she understood my needs, knew my budget and she went way beyond the call of duty to make this experience memorable. She really took the hassle out by providing first class experience from finding the right flights and accommodation along with the whole visa experience. To top it off I was impressed with her personal touch, by conveniently delivering everything to me.

Chantel is so efficient and she explains everything so clearly. She responded to every email so quickly and was just amazing to deal with. Thank you so much.

I can say without any hesitation that the service that I have received was way above expectation, the assistance had a sense of a personal touch included which made it a lot easier for myself and travel partners as planning a trip can sometimes be a daunting task. I will definitely be using Chantel and her company for all future trips and I have already spread the word to family and friends to contact her because her service was top shelf. Thanks Chantel for all the great service that we have received in planning our trip.

Chantel is totally and utterly beyond Magical, Magnificent and Amazing! She bends over backwards like a yogi...she attended to me for a last minute urgent flight to see my sick mother in New Zealand - nothing was a problem including working late into the night and over the weekend. Chantel even gave me a severe weather warning whilst here in NZ. What a gift to have found her :)

I would like to extend my gratitude to you for planning a fantastic trip for myself and Rojene. We really enjoyed it and the fact that you put everything together so well made it a breeze. Thank you for all the help while we were away with my additional requests, it is much appreciated too! You will definitely be our first call when we plan our next trip, and I have already recommended you to quite a few people and will continue doing so, your personal service really makes travelling a better experience. Thanks again and chat soon.
