Melody is always on the ball and so professional! She helped me get repatriated to South Africa under some pretty tricky circumstances and her quick thinking nature and knowledge of what to do was priceless. Her communication is excellent and leaves you feeling absolutely confident and safe with all travel plans made. I highly recommend Melody and look forward to working with her again in the future.

We (a family of 2 adults and 2 kids) are from Australia and arranged a 2.5 week trip to South Africa with Travel Counsellors. Melody from TC helped us with everything. She made the recommendations on the itinerary that ensured safety, cost effectiveness, and off course all the fun and excitement for all of us. Melody answered all my questions and gave me all the information that I needed. She arranged all excursions with trusted people. We were pampered with personal attention and had a private vehicle with a wonderful guide to drive us around. Thank you Melody for making us feel at home when we were away from home. We will liaise with you for our next trip again. Your worth ethic and mission statement is something you should feel very proud of.

Dear Melody I’ve been using your Travel services for some 7 Years now and every time I ask you to organize my Travel booking it is done with passion, efficiency and concern for the client. I have Traveled the world in the past using various Travel Agencies but none have surpassed or even come close to your friendly and dedicated approach. You have always made me feel confident and happy that you have put my needs first above all else. Well done and keep up with your great service.

Vreeslik baie dankie vir al jou hulp met die boot trip. Ons is in die proses om ietsie baie klein vir jou te kry om ‘n groot dankie te sê vir al jou moeite en reëlings. Jy is ongelooflik en beteken vir my baie, want tussen my werk deur sou ek dit nie kon doen nie en iewers sou ‘n fout ingekom het.

Thanks Melody for all your hard work in making this trip with the family a trip of a life time! The trip was awesome and we could not have done this without your hard work as it was a difficult trip as we had so many parts to it! Again, thanks so much and we will refer you to all our friends coming to Africa. We will continue to do business with you! Thanks again

We were very impressed with the service of Travel Counsellors. Melody saw to every little detail, transfers, boarding passes and most important good seats on the plane. For those travelling to Pattaya in Thailand there is an Island called Koh Lan Island, it has beautiful beaches with beautiful blue clear water. It can be reached by ferry, about 45 minutes away.

I have been an overseas traveller for 18 years and have never had better service than what I got from Melody. She organises everything perfectly right down to the very last detail. The hotels she organised were the best value for money. The tour companies that she used in Argentina were fantastic. Everything was perfect! Thanks so much Melody. I will always make use of your services!

When we were planning a trip to England, we approached Melody to help us to find the best fares and to generally advise us on the easiest and most cost effective way to do things. She truly went the extra mile and did so much more than we expected. She was always available to discuss concerns and even handled pre-flight check- in etc. She assisted us with visas and was there every step of the way.

Dear Melody, Thank you so much for your wonderful and dedicated service that you gave to our family.

The personal services made us feel extremely special as well as put us at ease. I look forward to booking our next holiday.
