We have just returned from 3 weeks in Canada, our 2nd holiday of a lifetime designed, and executed by Hayes &Jarvis. It once again way exceeded our expectations. Their ability to listen to your generalised wishes and convert them into your own personal plan is exemplary, followed by the day to day support of your own guardian angel make this the most stress free experience. I highly recommend them for your personalised holiday of a lifetime.

Great varied, bespoke itinerary
Great itinerary put together with the advice of agents with local knowledge. It really is tailor- made to your interests. Local agent on call for queries during trip. So easy to travel from place to place by train and coach. The experiences offered are fabulous and allowed us to really engage with the culture and to understand the differences between different cities. Would highly recommend

A memorable, well-organised, trip to Central Asia
Travelling with Hayes and Jarvis to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan has been marvellous. The organisation of this two week trip was highly professional and gave us time to see everything we wanted with extremely good guides, staying in very good accommodation with good transportation between locations. We felt our guides went out of their way to show us the beautiful architecture as well as sharing something of their own lives with us.

USA family tour
We have never used a company to plan a holiday like this before and we couldn’t be more happy. We needed to have a really well planned trip so that all our family needs were met. Having a trip consultant was fantastic and meant I could get in contact with someone any time throughout the trip. We had a trip of a life time and thoroughly happy with the part Hayes and Jarvis played on this.

Our holiday to Borneo was cancelled recently because we were travelling via the middle east. Matt Doidge worked hard to find us alternative dates and a different route, at all stages Hayes & Jarvis were professional, helpful and we really felt they were doing their very best to get us on holiday despite the fact the issues were outside of their control. We’re now booked for September. Thank you, Matt.
