The Best of Northern Italy - 13 nights

Val Gardena in the heart of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage mountain landscape of dramatic rocky peaks, alpine meadows and traditional Ladin villages.
Cortina d'Ampezzo, one of the most celebrated alpine towns in the Dolomites, with a pedestrianised centre and some of the most photographed mountain scenery in Italy.
Venice to close the trip, arriving by private water transfer directly to the hotel on the Grand Canal in the Dorsoduro district.

Tired of scrolling through endless deals and wondering what is actually right for you?

When you book online, you are a booking reference. When you book with me, you are a real person, with a story, preferences and non‑negotiables.

Here is what you get when you use a personal travel expert:

✅ Someone to cut through the noise and find holidays that truly fit your budget, style and schedule, not just what an algorithm wants to sell
✅ A second pair of eyes to spot the “small print” issues: awkward connections, long transfers, resort fees, visa quirks and hotels miles from where you really want to be
✅ One joined‑up trip instead of lots of separate bookings, so if something changes, you are not left on your own to sort it out
✅ Support when things go wrong: cancellations, strikes, delays or family emergencies. One call, one person, who already knows your plans inside out
✅ Extra value you will not see on a comparison site: the right room type, quieter locations, trusted local contacts and those thoughtful touches that turn a trip into a really special memory

Most of all, it is about peace of mind. Booking online is transactional. Booking with me is personal: advice, advocacy and care from the very first idea until you are safely back home.

If you are ready to stop second‑guessing and start looking forward to your next holiday, I am here to help you plan it.

Noreen Lane, Travel Counsellors – Travel/Tourism

I am absolutely honoured and excited to have been nominated for the 2026 Connect Women in Business Awards.

I’m Noreen Lane, an independent Travel Counsellor based in Kerry, with over 18 years’ experience crafting trips for both corporate and leisure clients. Travel has always been much more than a job for me: it is about creating seamless journeys, special memories and the reassuring feeling that someone you trust is looking after every detail behind the scenes.
Over nearly two decades in the industry I have worked across a wide range of travel, from complex business itineraries and multi sector flights to family holidays, honeymoons, cruises and once in a lifetime adventures. I also specialise in ocean cruise and river cruise journeys, helping clients choose the right ship or river line, the best itinerary, and the cabin or suite that will really make their experience feel special. That experience means I understand what matters most to different types of travellers: time and efficiency for business clients, value and peace of mind for families, and thoughtful, personal touches for couples and special occasions.
I chose to join Travel Counsellors because their values genuinely match the way I like to look after my customers. I have the freedom to take the time to really get to know you, understand your priorities and design trips that fit your life, rather than trying to squeeze you into a one size fits all package. Behind me is a global network of travel experts and award winning support, so you benefit from both my personal service and the strength and security of an international travel company.
Travel Counsellors is licensed and bonded with the Irish Aviation Authority, which means your money and your holiday are fully protected. You can book knowing that your funds are secure and that you have the reassurance of robust financial protection if the unexpected happens. This peace of mind is especially important for higher value trips, complex itineraries and cruise holidays booked well in advance.
What makes Travel Counsellors different to many traditional travel agents in Ireland is the level of personal care and flexibility you receive. I work around you: whether that means an evening call, a quick message while you are on the go or support while you are away if anything changes. I am not tied to specific suppliers or limited to what is “on offer” this week, so every recommendation is based on what is right for you. Alongside the licensing and bonding, you also have the reassurance of financial protection and round the clock duty office support, so you are never travelling alone.
If you are looking for a trusted, professional travel partner in Kerry/Ireland who will listen, advise and be there from the first idea to the moment you arrive home, I would be delighted to help you plan your next journey, whether that is a quick city break, a family escape, or your dream cruise or river cruise adventure.

What a wonderful way to see the Norwegian Fjords, a definite buckletlist trip.
Looking forward to sailing on this amazing ship the end of this year when she will be in the Mediterranean.

From turquoise lagoons to unforgettable family moments in the Maldives…

If you have ever thought the Maldives was “just for couples”, think again. It is one of my favourite destinations for family escapes, where barefoot luxury meets easy, relaxed, quality time together.

Our colleague Jo Vann and her family recently experienced pure paradise at Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, and their trip perfectly captures what makes a Maldives family holiday so special:
• Spacious villas ideal for families
• Shallow, crystal-clear lagoons perfect for little paddlers and confident swimmers alike
• Fantastic kids’ clubs and activities so everyone gets time to unwind
• Snorkelling, watersports and castaway-style beaches to explore together
• Laid-back dining with something to tempt even the fussiest eaters

If you are dreaming of your next family adventure, the Maldives offers that rare mix of total relaxation for adults and magical memories for children, all wrapped up in powder-soft sand and endless sunshine.

If you would like me to tailor a Maldives escape around your family, from villa style to seaplane transfers and special treats, I would love to help. Contact me to start planning your dream Maldives family holiday.
