Melissa assisted at short notice to set up some difficult travel arrangements. On top of that some changes were required midway through the trip which she promptly assisted with, even after normal business hours. 10/10 would recommend.

I had to make urgent changes to my flights to get back from Harare to see my sons first swimming gala. Mel reacted quickly and booked me the next flight out. She also went the extra mile to check me in to the flight and got me a exit row seat. Just brilliant personal service. Great to have someone like Mel looking after me when I am travelling.....

I recently starting using Melissa from Travel Counsellors for my business travel. Melissa was absolutely amazing! She completed all my bookings within my budget. She went out of her way to arrange a meeting room in Port Elizabeth whilst facing challenges that the Nelson Mandela Bay Hotels were all facing because of the COVID challenges. I required a late check-in & she personally called the hotel to advise them. She made herself available at any time of my trip to assist me, even after hours! Brilliant service Mel! I will definitely continue to use your services. Thank you again.
