Our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia…
Our holiday to Vietnam and Cambodia with Hayes & Jarvis was exceptional from start to finish. The itinerary was beautifully planned with stunning hotels, excellent guides and drivers and seamless ground transport. The pre‑trip support was outstanding — when we had to postpone our original holiday due to illness, everything was handled with care and flexibility. Overall, a wonderfully organised, memorable experience that allowed us to relax and enjoy every moment

A luxury trip to a lovely country.
This was an admittedly quite expensive trip for a “big birthday” and our first trip to Sri Lanka. However, it was worth it for such top accommodation, food and guides.
I’m a fairly experienced independent traveller and you COULD do Sri Lanka on a budget, but this curated trip was a great introduction to some of its well known highlights.

We had an idea to visit Japan in cherry blossom season and maybe see something of China. We had an idea of some of the sites we wanted to see and specifically wanted to avoid large group tours. We presented our initial thoughts to Andy Finlay at Hayes and Jarvis and it was refreshing to chat with him as he explored our ideas further, making great suggestions as went along.
Andy’s knowledge of the countries is impressive and he was very patient with us in explaining how our private tour would work. From suggesting dates to optimise our seeing blossoms in both China and Japan, using different types of travel, experiencing different types of accommodation, nothing has seemed too much trouble, making sure our likes and dislikes are catered for. We’ve been delighted with Andy’s friendly and professional service. We have confidence in the thorough and detailed itinerary and are looking forward to our holiday next year.

A fantastic trip to South America.
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to South America. Beth helped us select great hotels and destinations and we enjoyed the whole experience. Especially important for us was the support of Javier (Gomez) our Concierge based in Argentina. He could not have given us any more help when we needed it, and given we had never been to South America before, just having that friendly voice at the other end of the phone was really comforting. I would really recommend Hayes & Jarvis.
