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…

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.

Our original holiday Cancellation

Our original holiday was going to be cancelled due to the middle east conflict, so we decided to change the dates, which were also subsequently going to be cancelled. We therefore decided to defer the holiday to Feb 27. Throughout all of the e-mails/dialogue and other discussions, Chris Cook was brilliant, providing first class advice and offering suitable alternative suggestions for our consideration. I cannot recommend H&J enough and in particular Chris Cook for his professionalism and understanding of exactly what the customer wants - thanks Chris for a fantastic job extremely well done.
