Colleagues describe him as "We have a motto in our house – ‘Don’t go on holiday without Ian’. Ian and Barbara have organised the last 4 holidays for myself and my husband – 3 outside the UK and 1 in Cornwall and have organised holidays for both my grown up children. Why book with Ian? It’s a no brainer….. I could talk about his knowledge, the way he goes the extra mile to find the best holiday, the advice he offers, the time he saves me having to look for flights, hotels etc., the best deals he finds, but I think this story sums it up. We were in Costa Rica at the start of lockdown in March. Cutting a very long story short, 2 days into our organised tour everything was cancelled and we were told to get flights home. Within 5 hours of contacting Ian (at 10pm uk time), he had booked us onto flights home. When those flights were cancelled the following day, he was already on the case to find us other flights. Not as easy as it sounds when airlines were shutting down around us and we weren’t allowed to fly back through the US. Not only did he get manage to get us on new flights but was with us every step of the way to calm us down and give us the best advice. Not sure whether we or Ian were more relieved when the flight touched down in London….. and imagine how many Ian’s other of clients were also trapped at the same time who he helped. If you think that was a one-off, we were caught up in an internal country riot in a previous holiday (perhaps it is us?) and were told by the foreign office to leave. The only reason Ian didn’t have to help was that we were scheduled to leave that day anyway. It’s quite simple ‘Don’t go on holiday without Ian’ " and " I am Alan Hine of Finance.work the specialist financial and administrative recruiters. I was unfortunate to lose a close friend recently necessitating travel at short notice to a funeral in Edinburgh and as someone who appreciates customer service and value for money I was fortunate to meet Ian Gifford of Travel Counsellors. I was conscious that this would be a project on which Ian would only earn minimal commission and was a little bit embarrassed to phone him on a Saturday but he was only too pleased to help me by using his market knowledge to book flights for me at very short notice and at a very competitive price .Ian was then available to help at all times during the period before and during my trip so that all I had to do was print off a boarding card and turn up. This was invaluable at a difficult time I would unhesitatingly recommend both Ian and Travel Counsellors to anyone looking to organise any form of travel or holiday. "
