What our guests say

“We had originally booked a trip to India for 2020, but due to the Covid situation we have had to re-arrange for late 2021. During this process Jasdeep has gone out of his way to help us re-arrange the holiday and made every effort to keep the price similar without compromising any of the experiences we were looking forward to. This is the first time we have used Hayes and Jarvis and we are very pleased with the service we have received.”

“Outstanding rapid and detailed service from Thidara Udomritkul at Hayes & Jarvis. Our requirements were heeded and the initial proposal was attractive and good value. This proposal was tweaked until we were completely satisfied. Can’t wait to start the holiday now. Have holidayed with Hayes & Jarvis previously and found them to be high quality, bespoke and caring.”

“Originally booked for South America this August. The service came under the spotlight when this was not going to happen. In contrast to another organisation they were helpful and flexible. All now re-booked for 2021. Thidara helped replan the trip with options. First time I’ve used Hayes and Jarvis. Would recommend especially for more complex trips.”

“Personal touch. Although ultimately our holiday this year was cancelled, we cannot praise Hayes & Jarvis enough in their response in these unprecedented times, especially Jas. He really went out of his way in trying to find us a suitable alternative holiday, making sure that the alternatives were in line with our original plans, kept us informed (almost on a daily basis) of developments, be it changes in airline schedules or local government developments. We felt like he really cared and appreciate his personal touch. But even he could not work his magic this year. Nevertheless, given our experience with Hayes & Jarvis to date, we look forward to planning our next summer holiday with Jas.”

Dream Makers
I would strongly recommend Hayes and Jarvis for the best holiday experience anywhere in the world. We have used Hayes and Jarvis for trips all over the world, and have always been treated like royalty from fabulous hotels to once in a lifetime experiences. We will always make Alice Norman at H&J i first contact, when booking a trip Alice has chopped and changed our Xmas trip to the Maldives 3 times to suit our needs at no extra cost ourselves. If you want to be made feel special on holiday then Alice and the team at H&J will make your dream come true,

Brilliant customer service
Booked a holiday through Hayes and jarvis/American Holidays, unfortunately it had to be cancelled for the second time and I decided I wanted a full refund.

Spoke with the sales agents who advised that a full refund would not be provided and I had to settle for a voucher that would expire in 12 months at which point I could claim a refund.

Spoke with Steven Wilkinson who was able to assist me and arrange a full refund extremely quickly with no hassle. He was very helpful and responded to my emails quickly every time. He provided brilliant customer service.

Another Hayes & Jarvis holiday

Highly recommended
We booked our next holiday through Alice at Hayes & Jarvis and she couldn’t have been more helpful. She found us the best holiday tailored to our requirements and our trip was planned from start to finish. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
