Caroline Bowler

It's Nice To Meet You

My name is Caroline Bowler and I am your personal Travel Counsellor, based in Bristol.

I have lived and travelled all over the world and have been associated with the travel industry for over 20 years. Being a Travel Counsellor combines my passion for travel with my enthusiasm for giving clients the highest level of personal service. With access to over 400 suppliers, the holiday experiences on offer are limitless!

Searching the internet and dealing with call centres is a time consuming and costly process. I offer a friendly stress-free alternative and my flexible hours mean I can make myself available whenever it is convenient to you. And don't worry about your budget, whether it's large or small, I can find something to suit your needs.

Travel has always been a part of my life. As a child on the island of Hydra I remember speaking Greek and playing with the local children. I went to university in New Orleans where I became a travel agent after working on a riverboat on the Mississippi and a cruise ship in the Caribbean. I lived in the United States for 15 years, including New York and New Orleans, and can offer a truly special insight into the wonders of this country.

Over the years I have travelled extensively in Europe and the USA and have specialised knowledge of Australia, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Iran, India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Mexico, Costa Rica, the Caribbean and trekking in the Himalayas.

For many years I was manager of Stanfords Maps and Travel Bookshop in Bristol. Not only can I give you the best bespoke travel arrangements, but I can also suggest the best travel guides, maps and accessories for your journey.

Whether you're seeking a trekking adventure or an all-inclusive, a long-haul or city break, holiday or honeymoon, I'll save you time, hassle and money. Travel Counsellors are the only Travel Agency to be awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise twice and your money is completely financially protected against supplier failure by ATOL and the unique Travel Counsellors Trust.

Please give me a call today or email me with your enquiry and I will respond immediately. You can also leave your email address if you'd like to receive information about our regular promotions and offers.

My customer stories

Sent by Elaine Hollerhead

Caroline Bowler has been tremendously helpful in booking our railway holiday in Scotland. She listened carefully to our requirements and suggested and booked wonderful accommodation for us. She also organised flights and insurance promptly and has kept in constant touch with me throughout the process. In addition she suggested 2 exciting venues for my birthday celebration at restaurants I would otherwise have been unaware of. As a result I am really looking forward to our forthcoming holiday in May 2017 relaxed and confident in the knowledge Caroline has made all the necessary arrangements in advance and will also be available should we encounter any difficulties during the holiday. I have no hesitation in recommending Caroline and Travel Counsellors to all my friends business colleagues and family. Thank you Caroline!

Caroline went the extra mile to make sure my wife got her booking made. Her knowledge of flights and the best routes to Portland were first class. We will most certainly be travelling through her again.

We can't thank Caroline enough for organizing our family holiday. We gave Caroline a brief and she matched it perfectly. Thank you from the Reakes family.

Caroline has been the perfect travel counsellor - nothing is too much trouble, and she was sensitive to both my needs and my budget. I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

A friend recommended we consider Caroline for an awkward task - to book a cottage at very short notice for a big family reunion. Caroline was very quick to establish our needs and the date options and must have hunted high and low for a place which can take all 14 of us. But within literally a few days she had two solid options - the first of which proved ideal! Yorkshire Dales here we come! While the internet enables us all to go search for those bargains and to check everything out for ourselves it was a real bonus having a professional with good back-up undertaking this difficult search for us. Thank you!

Nepal Trip

29 December 2019

I was lucky to travel to Nepal with my local Rotary charity and although I’ve been to Tibet, China, India and Nepal before, this was a very special trip. Nepal has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world and 10 UNESCO World Heritage sites of which we managed to see 6 whilst we were there. I was impressed by some of the amazing charity work going on in Nepal. One such example was the Rokpa

Secrets of Soutwest France: Josephine Baker and Chateau Des Milandes

01 September 2016

There are many special places in Southwest France: Bonaguil is one of the largest and best restored castles in the area; Richard the Lionheart's own bastide of Penne d'Agenais; the ancient village of Pujols above Villeneuve-sur-Lot, and Villeneuve-sur-Lot's own midweek farmers market, an unpretentious gastronomic feast. There are also prehistoric sites and caves, hiking, boating, and kayaking on t

Secrets of Southwest France: Monet's Water Lilies

01 September 2016

Latour-Marliac: The Origin of Monet's Water Lilies Claude Monet's garden at Giverny is one of the most beautiful gardens in the world, but it would not exist without the great nursery of Latour-Marliac in Southwest France. Latour-Marliac is the origin of Giverny's iconic water lilies and Monet's epic La Nymphéas paintings. Latour-Marliac is a superb horticultural garden now open to the public i

Himalayas Trek In The Shadow of Nanda Devi, India

29 August 2016

Some journeys you remember forever. My husband and I trekked in the Indian Himalayas, finding it just as stunning as the more popular Nepal trekking routes, if not more so, and certainly freer of crowds. This was a two week Himalayas trek in far northern India. It was a journey into a land of light and unworldly vistas. The Garwhal Himalayas of the Uttaranchal district, unlike areas of Nepal, are
