Tom at Wayfairer arranged a fabulous honeymoon trip for us and was always quick to respond to any questions we had both before and during the trip. He was knowledgeable and friendly and our accommodations were gorgeous. We would definitely recommend Wayfairer for a special trip as we had the trip of a lifetime!

We had a fantastic family holiday to Tanzania organised through Wayfairer . Tom was very helpful and efficient. I can totally recommend using Wayfairer- they are trustworthy and good value for money . Hopefully we will have the chance to use them again in the future. The Lambert family

Tom was very helpful at first asking a few questions about what I like before coming back with my amazing trip. Any questions I had was answered quickly and directly and my mind was put to rest. I will be upswing this company again and would advise any of my friends to use them.

The recommendations were superb - Wayfairer Travel really listened to our wishes and what kind of experience we were looking for and based on this they made a very comprehensive program suggestion. We enjoyed every bit of it and it actually exceeded our expectation - which always a nice expereince...

Not long been back from a two week north to south tour of Vietnam with the last 5 days relaxing on the island of Phu Quoc in the south. My husband and I had an amazing time in the short time we had to cover Hanoi, Ha Long Bay, Hue, Hoi An, Siagon, all our hotels were as expected clean and friendly, our transfers all went smoothly and all guides where there to meet us and very knowledgable and friendly. We took the train from Hue via the Hai Van Pass which took us along the coast to Hoi An this took about 2 and half hours. Hoi An at night is a great place lots going on. In Saigon we did the Vespa by night tour which was really good fun, to be in the mad traffic but feeling as safe as could be, we stopped off at various places trying many of the local dishes like jumping chicken or as we know field frog... which really did taste like chicken. Our last days spent on Phu Quoc were for relaxing, our hotel Cassia Cottage was just what we needed, beautiful little family run hotel. All in all a great experience, thank you Harry for your help in organising it and keeping us informed of any flight changes whilst we were on our travels. I would certainly book with Wayfairer again.

Having just returned from a real adventure in Vietnam which ran the length of the country from Hanoi in the north to Saigon in the south in 10 exhilarating days, my husband and I feel that this has been one of the most interesting holidays that we have experienced. Due to the short time that we had, Tom Blakey of Wayfairer Travel had the challenge of producing an efficient itinerary which would maximise the time that we had without compromising on quality. He exceeded our expectations in this regard in the execution of the schedule which covered the most historical sites as well as throwing in different places off the beaten track which wouldn't necessarily feature on other travel agents' schedules - cue a visit to Yen Doc Village in Hanoi enroute back from an overnight trip to Halong Bay. Hue and Hoi Ann were both stunning and Saigon was intoxicating and provided a marked contrast to the north of the country both in temperament and climate, and finished off with a memorable trip to the Saigon Opera House which I can highly recommend. All the accommodations in each City were of a very high standard and the Tour Guides were all very enthusiastic, informative and very helpful, particularly in their suggestions of fantastic places to eat - both reasonably priced and most importantly, not tourist traps. We found Wayfairer through Responsible Travel and were very happy with their service - their ethos and principles resonated with us as individuals and Tom was very calm and flexible - at one point, we nearly had to change the whole schedule plus travel dates in order to accommodate a key sporting event! What we also liked was the fact that Tom and the Wayfairer team have had first hand experience and travelled to all the countries that they are on their website and thus have real insights into the countries that they are promoting. The Vietnamese people are warm, friendly and keen for visitors to learn about their tumultuous history - both the country and people have been through a lot but it was also apparent that with the pace of development here, things are rapidly changing - in another 5 years, things will be very different and will change - Go whilst you are able to catch Vietnam on the cusp before it does. Thanks to Tom and team for a Great time in Vietnam. We're going on another adventure through Wayfairer soon, this time on safari to Africa!

When i was planning the trip in Thailand,I made different enquiries but without any doubts Harry from wayfairer was the quickest And most professional person to answer to my request. In a few days time he organized a tour which completly fullfilled our expectations. We had asked him to organise a tour which could fit us And small kids ( 2 to 5 years old ). Everything was up to the last detail And suitable for both adults And kids. I highly recommend Wayfairer . PRE And post travel were very satisfying And the communication abroad was really easy aswell. welldone And we will definitively use your services again !

This was an excellent holiday and all the connections and handovers to different guides worked like clockwork. We spent 3 days in Bangkok and Chiang Rei, Thailand before spending 12 days in Laos and then 6 days in Cambodia. We enjoyed all three countries but particularly Laos. The guides and drivers were excellent very knowledgeable and experienced. The planning of the trip and time spent in different places worked well although in hindsight one might tweak one or two things but that was our personal preferences. We were originally four of us in the group but one member fell quite ill at the beginning. Flu she picked up in the UK and nothing to do with the holiday. The other couple had to return to the UK and Harry was very good in helping them and arranging their return. Despite this the holiday was excellent and the organisation first rate.

Advised by someone who really knew the area and had stayed in or visited the very places we went. Able to find small friendly places to stay, responding to our desire to avoid the standard international hotel. Using organisations owned and run locally, so that we weren't feeding the coffers of the big internationals. It's hard as a tourist, being in an area only a few days, to get a good experience of the local culture, but this holiday allowed a taste of authenticity.

From start to finish it was a fantastic experience! Harry was really helpful in putting together a bespoke itinerary for us and was great at making suggestions. He put together a perfect route for us that made the best use of our time and included everything we wanted to do and it was all within our budget!

Harry arranged our holiday in Myanmar and was quick to make a number of changes that we requested. The itinerary gave us many opportunities to meet local people, to learn about their culture and history. He replied promptly to our emails and processed our booking promptly. The tour guides were wonderful - always accommodating, friendly and happy to answer our questions and interpret for us.

Last October we decided we wanted to go on safari. As I had been on safari in Northern Tanzania (Serengeti, Add to dictionary and Lake Manjara) a long time ago, and enjoyed it very much, I thought it would be nice to do again, possibly followed by a relaxing stay on Zanzibar. My only objection was that it might be too crowdie with tourists by now. I got in contact with Tom Blakey of Wayfairer and voiced this concern. Tom immediately confirmed that if we wanted peace and quiet out of the beaten track all of these places were not to be recommended. Instead he came up with two different game parks in Southern Tanzania and a little island offshore South of Zanzibar. After several rounds of email questions and answers between Tom and us we decided on 3 days in Lake Manze tented camp in the Selous, 3 days in Mdonya Old River Camp in Ruaha National Park, topped by 5 relaxing days in Butiama Lodge on Mafia Island and travel between those by light aircraft. The recommendations all proved to be excellent. We were lucky to be off season and for game drives always had the landrover to ourselves, of course accompanied by good guides and drivers. But even in peak season, the camps have only twelve tents for two people so there could never be more than 24 in total. 'Tents' had everything we needed from double bed to shower and from wardrobe to mosquito repellant. All in a very friendly atmosphere and most importantly, we saw lots of animals (including many species of birds) in their natural habitats. Both parks are huge and there is no habitation whatsoever. Butiama Lodge really is relaxing and comfortable with very friendly staff and Mafia Island has very little tourists. In fact if you come and expect to find souvenirs you are in the wrong place. The flights in between were highlights themselves, mostly only room for 4 passengers. The views from the propeller aircraft were magnificent. Waifairer's organization was excellent and on arrival and departure we were met by transportation to bring us to and from the national airport for the domestic flights. Thanks Tom!

My first time in that part of the world - Kenya. I wanted to play it safe, and since on vacation for a few days only, I wanted the transition smooth. Not only I got that, but the place selected had a sterling service, the guide for the safari was dedicated and I saw so many different types of animals. Also, with Wayfairer, everything was clearly explained and understood in advance. I was well looked after. I will definitely go back to Wayfairer, for my next adventure/exotic trip.

My friend and I booked with Wayfairer Travel for our trip to Kilimanjaro in September 2016. The whole experience was beyond amazing. From a personally tailored hike plan to the team of porters and guides, everything was handled perfectly. We met up with Tom for a coffee before deciding on Wayfairer, but the moment you hear the passion in his voice for the fair treatment of the Porters and Guides working on the mountains It didn't take us long to make our decision. The trek itself was amazing and we loved every bit of it. The whole team at Fair Travel were very punctual, friendly and welcoming. We did lemosho route on Tom's advise and it is beautiful and great for acclimatizing. Our guides and Porters were amazing. They were friendly and experienced. One thing that I loved especially compared to some other treks that I have done is that the guides accessed our stamina and strength and knew exactly how fast or slow we should be climbing at different routes on the trek, so they set the perfect pace and made it much easier for us than it would have been otherwise. They were strict with the speed and diet and kept an eye on our appetite which I think is one of the most important things up on the mountain. And the food was absolutely delicious so a special shout out to the chef. Wayfairer and Fair Travel attract these amazing guys to work with them because they pay them and treat them fairly and having a great team around you makes for a great experience for the customer on the mountain. I will definitely travel with Wayfairer Travel again!!

Our experience with Wayfairer was excellent from start to finish. We had a relatively tight budget and Tom was the only person to really listen to what we were looking for and then make it happen. From first contact through to arriving home, the whole process was so effortless and went without a hitch. I can't recommend Wayfairer enough!

We were able to discuss our requirements in advance and everything on the agreed itinerary was delivered as per expectation. All Wayfarer and appointed guides and drivers were all of a very good standard and a pleasure to be with. We were felt safe with the quality of drivers and enjoyed the personalities and knowledge of the guides.

Our trip organization in Burma was excellent. More over, Wayfairer choose the mix of different events very well. We enjoyed the trip! We are extremely truly for our guides. We learned a lot about the culture, history, people. Each guide has its our opinion that I like very much. I have two favorites in this trip: - Inle lLake ecosystem - Pagodas made from teak.

Tom at Wayfairer did a fantastic job organising our honeymoon. He patiently listened to our suggestions and tailored a number of different options for us, changing dates and itinerary several times to best suit our tastes and availability. All the documentation, as well as some additional tips, was sent to us well in advance. Tom and Harry have always been extremely efficient and responsive whenever we had some queries and made the whole process very easy for us. Overall it was an amazing trip. Thanks guys!
