So far, so wonderful!
So far, so wonderful! We have yet to go but the planning experience so far has been great thanks to Tayla's lovely, friendly and very helpful assistance. If this trip works out as well as our Peru holiday in 2018, which was also through Hayes & Jarvis, then we are in for a good time!

Nairobi-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara-Chale…
Nairobi-Lake Nakuru-Maasai Mara-Chale Island: the overall attention to detail and the seamless coordination made the experience exceptional. Every element — from the itinerary and accommodation to the transfers and game drives — was planned with care, allowing the trip to unfold without stress or uncertainty. The destinations themselves were stunning, but it was the warmth, kindness, and professionalism of the people we encountered that took the experience to another level. Their passion for hospitality and genuine pride in sharing Kenya made every moment feel special. The company excels at creating highly curated, well-structured travel experiences that feel both luxurious and personal. Logistics were flawless and the level of support, while slow initially, during the trip was good. Partnering with local representatives, such as Jeniffer in Kenya, demonstrates an understanding of how important on-the-ground expertise is. The result is an experience that feels safe, smooth, and deeply memorable. In short, the company is doing an exceptional job of combining premium planning with authentic local connection.

Fabulous bespoke trip booking experience
We've had a fabulous experience booking our multi-centre trip for later this year. Our agent Bethany was a star from start to finish; taking time to understand our precise requirements and offering advice on optimal length of stay for each location together with activities. She nailed our trip first time, but had no issues when we changed our mind on a few things. I honestly couldn't fault in any way. Don't hesitate - get booking!

World class service for our Australian…
World class service for our Australian holiday. We had 3 weeks and wanted to travel from Cairns to Sydney for New Year on the harbour. HJ (James) put together an excellent itinerary to make sure we visited all the key sites and used quality partners for all our tours and trips that we booked on the way.
We had a concierge (Nitika) who kept in contact with us throughout to check all was ok.
HJ have so much experience we would definitely use them again.

Booked a holiday to India & Sri Lanka
Booked a holiday to India & Sri Lanka. This is my 3rd booking with H&J. They are fabulous to deal with from start to finish. This holiday was booked with the help of Jas Bhela. What a star! He’s been so enthusiastic, with endless ideas and suggestions, all ultimately tailored to us and what we wanted from this holiday/itinerary. The two previous holidays have been fantastic - I’m sure this will be no different. Thoroughly recommended.

A Truly Exceptional Holiday Planning Experience with Carys
From the moment we decided to explore Sri Lanka, we knew we wanted something special—and wow, Hayes & Jarvis delivered! We’ve done plenty of adventurous trips before (Greek island hopping, RV road trips in New Zealand), but this was our first time using Hayes & Jarvis after finding them recommended online.
From the very first web form submission, the experience was refreshing and positive. Within hours, we had an email and WhatsApp message from Carys, who arranged a call to really understand us—what we love, what we wanted, and what mattered most. She didn’t just listen; she got us. Using her personal knowledge of Sri Lanka, she quickly came up with ideas for an itinerary that fit our timing and budget.
By the next day, we had a detailed suggested itinerary with hotel options and experiences—all within budget. We had another call where Carys walked us through everything step by step, answering every single question (and we had a lot!). Her knowledge and reassurance made the whole process stress-free.
After reviewing the hotels (all amazing!), we made a few tweaks, and Carys promptly created the final itinerary and price. The digital process for confirmation and payment was simple and well-structured.
Honestly, this was one of the best booking experiences we’ve ever had. Carys combined professionalism with a personal touch that made us feel completely confident and excited about our trip.
Would highly recommend Hayes & Jarvis—and especially Carys—to anyone planning a special holiday. She turned planning into a joy!

South Africa Travel
I was unsure where to start as arranging a special trip with my bestie for our big birthday.
We wanted to go to South Africa and Thidara the Hayes &Jarvis Specialist consultant was on hand to help, initially building an itinerary that we were able to adapt, focusing on budget and clear guidance on what we liked to do. She providing guidance and inspiration without being pushy and was always on hand to call if needed. She was friendly and easy to talk to and I felt listened to.
Now all booked and off to Mauritius after our 2 week planned South Africa Cape Town- Garden route adventure.

Hayes & Jarvis - my personal Travel Consultant Jasdeep Bhela
My personal Travel Consultant, Jasdeep Bhela, did an excellent job in compiling my Vietnam trip itinerary and booking all flights, transfers, activities and accommodation.
I had to make a UK departure date change after the itinerary had been finalised, and Jas rearranged everything extremely swiftly and efficiently, advising of comparable alternatives as accommodation booked on my original itinerary was no longer available. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
