Donna Richmond Travel Personal travel planning, thoughtfully tailored around you - with the expertise, attention to detail and support to make the whole experience feel easier.
Travel, taken care of
I specialise in holidays that are carefully planned around you. From one perfectly chosen hotel to a complex multi‑stop adventure, I plan it with my personal experience and the support of Travel Counsellors behind it. I work worldwide, and I am especially drawn to destinations with a strong sense of place, characterful hotels and plenty to discover beyond the pool.
Every trip I plan starts with you, not a brochure. I take the time to understand how you like to travel: the pace, the budget, the must‑haves and the “please, not again” moments. Then I build every detail around that, from the right flight times and room types to the transfers, experiences and little touches that make a trip feel effortless. You deal with me from the first idea to the moment you are home, so nothing gets lost along the way and nothing is left to chance.
Designed Around You
No two trips I plan are the same, because no two travellers are. Once we’ve talked through your ideas, I’ll design a detailed day-by-day itinerary just for you. It covers everything from the flight times that work best with little ones to the quiet beach I found on my last visit. Every hotel, transfer and experience is handpicked and timed so your trip flows. We’ll keep adjusting it together until it feels exactly right. When you’re ready to go, everything you need is in one place, with me on hand if anything changes.
Truly Family Tested
I don’t just recommend places, I take my own family there first. We’ve explored Sri Lanka together and spent Christmas in Vietnam. I’ve been to the Maldives four times, and yes, we survived a cruise with toddlers. I also travel regularly with hotels and tour partners to discover new resorts and experiences before I recommend them. And if you’re dreaming of somewhere I haven’t been yet, I can call on more than 2,200 fellow Travel Counsellors worldwide. Someone will have been there, so you still get first-hand advice.
Secure and Supported
As an experienced, independent Travel Counsellor, I combine a personal, one-to-one service with the security of a company that’s been planning holidays for over 30 years. Your holiday is ATOL protected where applicable, and your money is protected by the Travel Counsellors Trust. You’ll have my WhatsApp number from day one, plus 24/7 support while you’re away. If anything changes, you won’t be stuck in a call-centre queue. You’ll have someone who already knows your trip.
