Thidara at Hayes and Jarvis created a perfect itinerary for our visit to South Africa. She incorporated tours and tickets for sightseeing attractions and organised all transfers and international and domestic flights. We were offered hotel options at different price points. She was in no way pushy and listened carefully to our preferences. I’d thoroughly recommend using Hayes and Jarvis for a trip to South Africa

This was the second time that H & J have booked a Maldives holiday for us and now we wouldn’t use anyone else. The attention to detail when suggesting or recommending suitable islands was impressive and the island we chose couldn’t have been more perfect. Having always made a point of trying out different islands we would now go straight back to Hideaway because if we went anywhere else we’d be wishing we were there. Every aspect of the planning and booking process was thorough with a lot of personal input from our H & J consultant. The documentation was accurate and explicit. The transfers to & from the island were smooth as silk thanks to the input from the associated agent in India who kept in close contact with us. I can’t begin to explain the wonder of the island in a short paragraph but it is a paradise far removed from the real world. The island wildlife and the undersea world of the coral reef are spectacular. Such a privilege to have seen it all. The island was at full capacity when we stayed and yet the beaches and swimming pools were deserted. The only times we saw people were mealtimes. The over-water villa was spacious, well equipped and very luxurious. Fully serviced twice daily and spotlessly clean. The private pool was fresh water and crystal clear – very well maintained. Now I’ll spend the rest of today dreaming that I’m back there……………….

We would highly recommend Hayes and Jarvis for planning and executing the ‘trip of a lifetime’. We had 25 days to visit 6 destinations and from the planning stages with James, to the trip itself supported by our concierge Megan, we had a wonderful team who took our every wish into account and made things happen, including unforeseen changes of plans before and during the trip. Thank you and well done to James and Megan. If we get chance to do another such trip, we would have no hesitation in contacting Hayes and Jarvis’s team again.

Hayes & Jarvis took the time to understand our aspirations for this trip. They were able to put together an itinerary which included places that we had specified, mixed in with some fantastic suggestions that they had come up with. A couple of video calls with the local contact in Africa helped greatly with us preparing for the trip. The trip organistion and logistics were flawless. Overall a fantastic experience that will long live in our memories.

Couldn’t have wished for a better and more detailed itinerary provided by Hayes & Jarvis after talking to us first about what our wishes were. Full of information given prior to our holiday was given too so we could prepare and organise for all to be sorted prior to setting off on our holiday. The added bonus was our trip coordinator who looked after us via WhatsApp during our entire two weeks. We could not have wished for a better person. Huge thanks to Camila.
