Welcome, my name is Tamarin and I am your personal Travel Counsellor.
I am based on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. I lived in South Africa for 38 years before moving to the beautiful country of the long white cloud and love the fact that technology allows me to still do what I love and access great deals for anyone to and from anywhere in the world. I am married with 2 beautiful children, a son and daughter who keep me on my toes at all times. I have also travelled with them so don't be afraid - together we can make this easy.
I have over 17 years experience in the travel industry and joined Travel Counsellors in 2010, where I have successfully built my business up from the ground to now where I have an amazing client base. After completing my studies in tourism - I lived, worked and travelled in and around the United Kingdom for 1 year. When returning to South Africa I immediately joined a travel company and pursued my passion in taking the dreams of those around me and creating a reality beyond their highest expectations. I am continually improving my knowledge by attending training and workshops that will benefit what I can offer you - my clients.
I have personally travelled to the United Kingdom, Mauritius, Hong Kong, USA (Las Vegas, Orlando & New York), Swaziland, Mozambique, Namibia, Tenerife, Ireland, London, Reunion, Maldives, Thailand, cruised from Italy to France and driven shore to shore of beautiful South Africa. To me travel is a lifestyle and a need, it is a passion that can only be fulfilled with the best planning, knowledge and by someone who cares about what you want. That someone is me, whether it be your first flight, honeymoon, family holiday or business, I will take the greatest care in ensuring that your travels are everything you imagined. I take pride in my work and therefore always strive to get back to you in the shortest time possible with the best options available.
I love being a Travel Counsellor because I have the opportunity to offer you the best quality service by working out of the comfort of my home and giving you the full attention that you desire. I am available whenever you need me and will go the extra mile to ensure that no detail has been forgotten. I have access to both local and international deals at very competitive prices.
I hope to hear from you soon to help you start planning your dream holiday.
Regards
Tamarin

I cannot recommend Tamarin highly enough. I had a stressful trip to arrange during covid restrictions and protocols, which added to my stress. Tamarin took full-control of every detail and she assisted from the beginning, during and after the trip. I would never have been able to have gone through this whole ordeal without her. Please don't try to organize an international trip without the help, guidance and support of an extremely professional and knowledgeable person, Tamarin.

I have known Tamarin for at least 15 years, initially as a very pleasant and likeable friend of my own children and later when she joined a large retail agency as a Travel Agent, she was always my agent of choice, due to her absolute reliability, her friendly nature, patience and willingness to (please excuse the pun!) go the extra mile.
Now that Tamarin is running her own business she takes care of all my travel arrangements, both locally and abroad. I have complete faith in her proficiency and integrity.
Yours sincerely

Tamarin is the first travel agent who we have worked with who has provided such good service, taking care of ALL the detail (flight check in's, VISA's) prior to our trip, whilst we were on holiday as well as upon our return. The constant caring and "checking up" on us was really appreciated.
Thank you for the excellent service and a job well done! Will definitely be using Tamarin's services again

I was looking to book a holiday to Thailand. Tamarin stood by me every step of the way and with every phone call; she never got upset each time I changed my mind about the dates of travel or when I wanted to know more about a particular hotel. This trip was a spur of the moment decision and she really assisted me in getting the best bargain and hotel.
Tamarin is great and very friendly. I will use her in the future! Regards, Chantalle

Tamarin was fantastic and really went out of her way to help us plan our trip to London and Greece.
She gave us very helpful suggestions and advice in planning our itinerary and worked around our specific requests and budget! We were very happy with all of our hotels, the transfers were perfectly arranged and our documentation was all in order!
Tamarin gave us an unforgettable, hassle-free trip!

Tamarin has always put that personal touch on all her dealings with me and has over the years grown to know me and my family’s travel needs very well, she now suggests holidays that we may like to take … and more often than not is 100% on the mark!
I have dealt with Tamarin Seymour over the past 10 years, and she has endured my various requests (I am very particular as to what I want), she has answered my 101 questions and always comes out shining. With Tamarin, nothing is overlooked. We have not had any problems and our holidays have been just that … a holiday, with the only worry being …what are we going to do today?
Thanks Tamarin for the superb service and the smiles. It has always been a pleasure to deal with you and I hope that we can do so for many years to come.

I can personally recommend Tamarin Seymour who has assisted me and my family over and above the travel agents’ normal mandate. During the Tsunami she went to great trouble to find me and contact my family and reassure them of my safety.
I have always found Tamarin extremely knowledgeable and helpful and it has been a pleasure dealing with her. I highly recommend her as an exceptional travel agent.

To say that the past 18 months has been out of the norm would be an understatement. Travellers are waiting patiently as borders open slowly, restrictions lighten and vaccinations get underway.
New Zealand borders are still closed to tourists but we do see light at the end of the tunnel, so in anticipation of when this may happen I decided to take a bit of a tour of my new country to share what i

I was privileged enough to be invited on an educational trip of a lifetime to the beautiful islands of the Maldives.
A lengthy but comfortable journey on-board Qatar Airways via Doha saw us arrive in Male to board a smaller aircraft to another island before taking a speedboat to an even smaller island - but the adventure had just begun.
