It's Nice To Meet You

Dear Traveler

My name is Jeanne Thirion, a Travel Counsellor based in Kimberley, South Africa.

I have been in travel for over 20 years now, and am happy to report, after the scare the pandemic gave us, that travel is back in full swing and that we are looking forward to the future again.

I worked as an Au Pair in Germany after school and that is where the travel bug bit. On returning home I studied Travel and Tourism and joined a well know Travel Management Company for over 10 years.

It is however, since joining Travel Counsellors in June 2010, that I have discovered the joy of building long lasting personal relationships with my clients and in so doing, being able to offer them superior service and tailor made advice. They love the fact that I am always just a phone call away, a trusted friend who can advise and get them out of a tight fix when the need arises. With Travel Counsellors award winning technology and global contracts, I also have access to a multitude of special rates and services. From flights, accommodation, car rental and tours, cruises, visas, travel insurance and activities, I am your one stop shop.

I achieved the Travel Counsellors Award for 'Best Business Increase' for two years running and was honored to take home the award for Best South African Travel Counsellor in 2016.

I have travelled to a number of European countries, namely Germany, The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Austria and Italy as well as to our Global Conference in Manchester. I have also visited Mauritius, Zanzibar, Madagascar and Egypt. Each destination holds a special memory.

I know that travelling can be stressful and one often doesn’t know where to begin, so please, leave the details in my hands. I’ll take away the worry and leave you with only the excitement of the coming trip and the wonderful memories thereafter.

I look forward to assisting you.

Yours in travel,
Jeanne

Deeglik, alles betyds gekry, mooi, netjies uiteengesit en sy het alles vir my verduidelik - wat ek moet doen, wat ek by my moet he and waar ek wanneer moet wees. Puik, professionale diens - sy is hoogs aan te beveel!

Jeanne has been absolutely amazing with all of our flights over the years and especially now when we flew overseas to the Netherlands, France and to the United States of America. I would highly recommend Jeanne for any of your travel destination planning any where in the world! She was and has always been available at any time to assist us. Superb service!

Bridgitte Potgieter

Kimberley

Never having been abroad and being very nervous about this new experience, Jeanne was so patient in explaining everything to us and making very valuable suggestions. The flights she booked were reasonable and our flying experience was great. She emailed us a few times before our departure making sure everything was in place and even on the day of our departure she contacted us to wish us well. On our return we again received correspondence from her. She took interest in us and it was not just a job that had to be done. My son recommended her to us after she had organized his travel arrangements and I will likewise gladly recommend her to anyone who wants a hassle free travel experience. Thank you very much Jeanne.

Last year my wife and I decided we would like to visit Italy. The thought of organising all the transport, hotels, sightseeing, etc. was pretty daunting. We had heard of Jeanne Thirion from Travel Counsellors, so we asked her if she could recommend how we could spend a short holiday in Italy. She quickly came back with a package tour offered by the Trafalgar group, which incorporated Rome, Venice and Florence. It sounded perfect so we asked her to proceed. She then sorted out our flights, suggested some stop-over options, and advised on obtaining Visas etc. All paperwork was personally delivered and we were kept up to date as the time approached. In terms of the holiday itself, we had a great time. The Trafalgar package was well organised, took in three great cities (plus a couple of on-route stops at Verona and Assisi), and allowed us to purchase some extra tourist attractions that fitted neatly into our schedule. It was a packed 8 days or so, we came back tired but excited. We managed to see and experience so much of Italy in such a short time. Thank you Jeanne for recommending and organising such a wonderful holiday. Paris next I think!

Richard Jones

Kimberley

Jeanne Thirion's service was excellent and the information was accurate. She went the extra mile to give me options on various packages and had no trouble revising my holiday quote according to my requirements. I went on holiday with confidence and had an awesome time! I would recommend Jeanne's services any day. Thank you Jeanne!

Hierdie is 'n goeie geleendheid om op profesionele wyse my lof uit te spreek teenoor Jeanne. Ek myself en al my kolegas wat van haar diens gebruik maak is baie tevrede met die diens en hulp wat ons van haar ontvang. Sy is 'n vriendelike en hulpvaardige persoon wat haar bes doen om alle reelings wat getref moet word deur haarself, na die beste van haar vermoe te verrig. Dankie Jeanne! You are the best

Jeanne has been a great help with my travel arrangements, booking hotels, cars and flights. I have never been disappointed. She is always quick to respond to my queries and makes the necessary arrangements without delay. I am usually my own travel co-ordinator but there are times when I struggle and Jeanne gets it done in no time! She's the only travel agent I have used for my personal travels.

Jeanne het vir ons 'n vakansie na Kanada gereel Junie 2012. Ek kan net met lof van al haar reelings getuig. Van die vliegtuigkaartjies, Ferry, huurmotors, verblyf alles het net seepglad verloop. In die 3 weke wat ons in 'n vreemde land was kon ons maar net na haar notas gaan kyk om te sien waar moet ons wees of wat ons sien! Sy het vir ons uitstekende diens gelewer en ons kan haar dienste aanbeveel!

Elmien Van Zyl

Wow! Jeanne turned a dream into reality from the inception of our faint idea of where we wanted to go, to the realisation of a spectacular family holiday. It's as though we're going with our own personal tour guide with the detailed itinerary she provided. Jeanne pre-booking all our transfers, excursions, accommodation & passes throughout Europe in order for us to have a hassle-free fun trip! Thanks a mil!

SJOE!! Jeanne se diens was uit die BOONSTE RAKKE!! Omdat dit ons 1ste rys oorsee was, was ons maar bang. Maar alles was so mooi uiteengesit vir ons!! Ons het tot 'n informasie blaai saam met ons fliegkaartjie gekry wat presies aangedui het wat ons nie moet vergeet. En Jeanne het als so mooi gereel vir toe ons daar land ook! Jeanne, jou diens is PUIK!! En wanneer mens deur jou boek, kan mens met 'n geruste hart gaan

I would like to report EXCELLENT service by Jeanne Thirion who assisted my mother Lynne Webster with her travel arrangements from Kimberley to Edinburgh (via OR Tambo and Heathrow). While Jeanne could not control the delayed flight in Kimberley and the subsequent rush for my mom to get her connection at OR Tambo, she was in contact with myself and my sister (in Scotland) until late last night. My mom DID catch her connection, thanks to Jeanne booking her in and booking her luggage all the way through. The assistance and CARE Jeanne portrayed was out of this world. In future for any travel arrangements I will recommend Jeanne without blinking!!! Well done :-)

Cheryl Reddan

If you want the best fares, friendly service, quick answers and as an extra bonus, someone to advise and even enhance your travel plans, I can highly recommend Jeanne. She has helped me plan several trips. Her service is outstanding and most importantly regardless of time limits and unforeseen glitches, Jeanne always made me feel comfortable. She made things easy and always goes the extra mile. She is competent and a pleasure to work with. Jeanne is knowledgeable, informative and clearly experienced in her field of work. I could not have planned it better or cheaper. Look no further and do yourself a favour and book your travel with Jeanne

I am very proud to have MY VERY OWN travel agent! From the get-go Jeanne worked tirelessly (and without complaining) to get me just the tour that I wanted. She kept me up to date as to how far the arrangements had been made, what was still needed to be done and how from completion the whole process was. It was such a pleasure to leave things in her hands and to know that my tour would be successful.
