It's Nice To Meet You

Welcome to my personal leisure website. I'm an independent Travel Counsellor in Pretoria. I studied BCom Hotel and Tourism Management and subsequently entered the exciting world of travel in 1997.

During my initial years in travel I serviced mainly corporate travellers, this entailed always being under pressure to offer top service with a smile and to find the most competitive prices and to provide fast and accurate information. I left the travel industry after seven years to pursue another passion of mine, gastronomy. I soon realised that travel is in my blood and returned to the industry two years later.

I then worked for the next three years in a busy retail travel agency with my focus in the leisure travel market and gained valuable first-hand knowledge on a vast spectrum of holiday destinations. During my twenty year travel career I experienced many travel opportunities to the UK, Europe, the Mediterranean as well as many fascinating countries like Morocco, Egypt, Thailand, Bali, Singapore and island destinations such as Mauritius and Seychelles, to name just a few. I have also travelled extensively through our beautiful country South Africa.

Travel is about making dreams come true. This can only be achieved by offering exceptional service and exceeding expectations. I am now part of the Best Travel Company in the World, Travel Counsellors. They offer complete back-up support from their head offices in Cape Town, combined with support from their UK Head Office, as well the advice & assistance from over 1700 Travel Counsellors represented in South Africa, Australia, Belgium, Netherlands, the UK, Ireland and Dubai. I have access to the most competitive airfares, hotel rates and technology. From my home environment I am available to offer you a professional travel service 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, or alternatively at a location that suits you best, be it in the comfort of your home, at the office, etc. I offer a comprehensive professional one-stop service, which entails offering the best airfares, deals and advice in arranging transfers, hotel accommodation, car rental, visas, foreign exchange, etc.

If you do not have any immediate travel requirements, feel free to send me an e-mail, to receive interesting travel information and specials. Remember travel is always the pursuing of a personal dream based on reliable information and good advance planning!

I look forward to hearing from you!

My customer stories

Sent by Neels Campher

We are seasoned world travellers and have been fortunate to visit 63 countries of the world, of which the USA is one, but toured 30 of its states. There are also countries that we have been to several times. Our latest tour was to Vietnam and Cambodia during February 2020. We recommend Petroné without hesitation to all our family and friends as you can be assured that all your arrangements will be problem and hassle free. Petroné always has your best interest at heart. I can be demanding yet Petroné always remains calm, friendly and professional. Petroné also adds the “personal touch” e.g. when we boarded our flight to Singapore, the cabin crew handed to us (in economy class) a bag full of goodies to enjoy during the flight and on tour. The cherry on top was a personal card from Petroné in her own handwriting wishing us a safe journey and an enjoyable tour. This has never happened to us before on all our many trips and her kind gesture left us both in tears. We can wholeheartedly recommend Petroné as your Travel Counsellor! You won’t regret it.

Goeie more. Hiermee wil ek graag onder u aandag bring dat ek besonder goeie diens van Petroné Schoeman ontvang het tydens my soektog na kwotasies vir 'n vakansiepakket. Ek het nooit lank gewag vir terugvoering van haar kant nie en sy het pertinent op my vrae geantwoord. Ek gaan haar aanbeveel by vriende, kennisse en familie wat 'n reisadviseur se dienste benodig. Vriendelike groete Kitty du Preez

Hallo Petroné Ja, terug by die huis na ‘n wonderlike sorgvrye vakansie. Net weer ‘n woord van groot dankie aan jou vir al jou reëlings wat jy so professioneel korrek en tydig tref om dit vir ons gewone mense ‘n onvergeetlike vakansie te maak! Nogmaals dankie en as ons ooit weer so iets sou wou aanvang sal ons beslis weer aan jou deur kom klop. Intussen bly ons julle aanbeveel by almal wat hoegenaamd net lyk of hulle lus het vir vakansie!

I want to thank Petrone for all the fine work you did in arranging mine and Kathleen's travel in South Africa. You have been enormously helpful and have given us fine advice and great service; and in fact the lodges you set up for us in Kruger promise to be a truly memorable holiday, and the highlight of our trip. It has been a pleasure dealing with you. You are an exceptional travel agent! Best regards Jacques Lapointe
