Margaret Antosik
Travel Dates: September 2024
Traveled To: Japan
Itinerary: Tokyo – Hakone – Kyoto – Hiroshima – Osaka
“Without hesitation we would highly recommend travellers to use Hayes and Jarvis to help organize and plan their trip. Our recent trip to Japan was the most memorable experience thanks to the team members and local guides who facilitated our journey along the way. An enormous thanks to Chris Cook and to the lovely Shagufta Sumbul – we felt in safe hands from the moment we made the first contact up to our return home after a wonderful holiday. The whole itinerary rolled out like clock-work. The choice of hotels was just perfect in each location and facilitated getting around ourselves outside our organized activities. The choice of activities enabled us to see and experience delights we didn’t know existed !We cannot sing the praises of Hayes and Jarvis highly enough – they are so professional. Thank you to everyone involved in our trip and we will definitely be using your services again.”

Traveled To: Singapore, Malaysia
Itinerary: Singapore – Kuala Lumpur – Penang
“Hayes & Jarvis were able to provide the two of us with a tailored trip that allowed us to explore new places, cultures and allowed us to visit our friends who live in KL. The support from trip creation right the way through to getting home was second to none. We had every question answered and even had our trip Co-ordinator just check in with us every couple of days to see how we were and how everything was going.We were visiting an area of the world that was not overly friendly to our way of life, and having that extra support made us feel safe and confident. It also allowed us to visit our friends in KL and spend time with them. Thank you to the Hayes & Jarvis team for turning our trip into a spectacular success.”

Traveled To: Canada
Itinerary: Vancouver – Whistler – Clearwater – Sunpeaks – Revelstoke – Banff – Calgary
“This is the first time we have used Hayes and Jarvis and the first time we have been offered a full time concierge for our holiday, we don’t think our holiday would have run as smoothly as it did without Miriam, she truly is a huge asset to the operation. Bethany made the booking experience a breeze as she knew a lot about the route we wanted to book. The communication is excellent and the trip agent app is so easy to use, it helped us stay organised throughout the trip.”

Traveled To: Canada
Itinerary: Vancouver – Victoria – Tofino – Ucluelet – Campbell River – Glendale Cove – Parksville
“The holiday itself was simply excellent. We loved every moment 🙂 Hayes and Jarvis really go the extra mile for their guests, from my initial enquiry onwards they were prompt, efficient and friendly. The support we received pre-departure was excellent, but it was the support received during the trip when we had issues with our return flight (not H&J's fault) that really stood out as an amazing example of customer care. Every detail of sorting out replacement flights and accommodation was taken care of for us, so that we could enjoy the remainder of our trip. If only every company provided customer care like this!”

“This was the holiday of a life time! The service we received from booking this trip, to having a virtual call with our Kenyan trip coordinator to arriving in Kenya and having the best hospitality! We loved every minute. The food was delicious, the people were kind and friendly, the game drives were amazing and the camps were stunning. Will be using Hayes and Jarvis to book more holidays in the future!”

“From start to finish we were listened to and able to get the holiday of a lifetime planned for us. It was our 10 year anniversary and everywhere knew it which was lovely to see on arrival at our hotels. There was little to no stress at all on transfer days we just showed up and our guides knew where we needed to go and when. Thank you very much for everything.”
