It was challenging to organise this holiday, getting the weather right to travel north to south, varying expectations from family members and family logistics with people coming in from New Zealand, London and other parts of the UK. Harry helped put the program together, making key recommendations and final adjustments to account for family members needing to depart early. Once in Hanoi we were met by our guide who helped with local information and advice. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring Hanoi at night and eating at local stalls. The Water Puppets were entertaining and worthwhile. Halong Bay was both beautiful and an opportunity for us as a family to relax with a water fight while kayaking. The transfer to Hue was delayed due to a typhoon and flooding in Hue, but our guide handled all the rebooking and the next day we arrived to a mildly flooded Hue. The wet weather did not dampen our new guides enthusiasm and soon we were being shown the stunning Citadel and majestic Tomb of Emperor Ming Mang. The following day we drove from Hue to Hoi An via the Hai An pass, a long but interesting journey in which we learnt more about Vietnamese history and cultural diversity from our encyclopaedic guide. Hoi An provided relaxation on the beach but also allowed us to explore the countryside on bikes, the most abiding memories are however the cooking class where we tried to emulate the skills on display every evening in the local market. After 4 days in Hoi An a transfer to Ho Chi Min took us to an ever more modern city with hustle and bustle. The following day saw a visit to the Cu Chi tunnels and a deeper understanding of recent Vietnamese history. The highlight of Ho Chi Min was however without doubt the Vespa tour. Being in the middle of traffic and slithering eel like through a forest of motorbikes to stop off at different points and explore the city, was a truly memorable experience. On then to the Mekong delta, again a long transfer by minibus supplemented by useful points along the way explain local agriculture. Roadside food was a revelation and far from the western expectation. The Mekong itself is impressive and the floating market fascinating. Throughout the holiday we were accompanied by knowledgeable and helpful guides, the food was as anticipated exceptional and the people welcoming. This was voted unanimously as the best holiday yet and Wayfairer contributed substantially with their organising and skill to achieving this.

Our experience was totally AWESOME! The guides were totally into us. Once we were scheduled to bike ride. It was 120 degrees and we are elderly. Needless to say, we didn't bike but opted for massages which our guide arranged. Flexible would be the best description of our guides.

Harry and the team helped me plan a holiday of a lifetime in Thailand with my family .We were able to include something that each member of the family would really enjoy including culture , cooking , adventure , wildlife and relaxation . We started in Bankok and travelled to Kanchnburi , Chiang Mai and on to Phuket . We only had 2 weeks , but we did so much and saw so much that it felt like we were away for months. Every part of the journey was planned to perfection and it took all the stresses away of travelling so that we could just enjoy learning about this amazing country . The guides we had were superb and went out of their way to ensure we had the most amazing experience and that we learnt about the culture and tasted the most fantastic food at every opportunity . All the accommodation we stayed in was amazing from The luxurious shanghai mansion in the centre of China town Bankok , to the floating raft hotel and the Jungle tree houses . Some of the highlights were the Grand Palace In Bankok , waking up to watch an elephant bathing in the River at the raft hotel , the Jungle trek where we came face to face with a troop of Monkeys and the beautiful lake trip at Khlong Saeng National Park . The Farm Cookery school was inspiring . And finally our beautiful beach front hotel suite in Phuket where we relaxed for a few days at the end of the holiday before the flight home. I would definitely recommend using Harry and his team to pland and book your holiday and provide local guides who are knowledgeable and great fun to travel with.

We were in Chiang mai and had a short and tight itinerary in mind and couldn't book onto the cooking course we wanted, so I asked Harry to help find us an alternative. Not only did we have. Great day, Harry was able to arrange the company to pick us up from our hotel and drop us back, despite staying out of the main city. Usually tours in China mai only pick up from hotels within a certain distance from he centre, so this was a great addition as it meant less money and time we had to spend in organising additional transport into the centre at the beginning and end of the day.

They helped us to incorporate activities and sights that were important to us, creating our perfect honeymoon. And they were always on-hand to assist us, even when we were over the other side of the world.

Wayfairer help us plan our honeymoon. It was great that we got to have a few options for the lodges and hotels that we wanted to stay in so that we could find the best fit for us. We felt like celebrities every where we went since we were always greeted by someone to help us get to where we were going, even immediately after exiting the airplane! The staff at the Saruni Mara lodge were excellent and we loved our guide, John. The lodge was in a beautiful location, our room was spacious and even came with hot water bottles for the bed every night since it was chilly. We loved the family style dinners around a beautiful table. Everyone got to know each other and we all talked about where we are from, our jobs, lives, travels and of course what we had seen during our day. Our stay at the Waterlovers resort was excellent as well. It was so peaceful and relaxing. Each room got their own mobile phone so that we could call the hotel for any need even when we were away from the hotel. They arranged restaurant reservations and a personal driver for us as well. Meals at the hotel were excellent and every day there was a new menu to choose from. Tom at Wayfairer checked in on us during the middle of our honeymoon to make sure everything was going smoothly and immediately made any changes/accommodations to make our honeymoon the best we could have imagined. We loved the excellent service we received from Wayfairer and all of the people we met during our Wayfairer organized trip.

Wayfairer did an outstanding job in inquiring into my families wishes. We were looking for an "off the beaten track experience" in Africa; authentic and child friendly. Wayfairer completely delivered against our aspired Africa experience.

We travelled with Wayfairer to Cambodia and Vietnam in August 2016. Firstly, I must say that we did not skimp on cost here. However, having left all accommodation, internal transfers and itinerary to Tom and his team, I have to say that this is the best organised trip we have had. From the meeting with the first guide at Siem Reap to our parting with the last at Hanoi, the organisation of the trip, the quality of the accommodation, the guides and the activities arranged for us were outstanding. And there was time for poolside relaxation at all of the very good hotels. i would have no hesitation in recommending Wayfairer if you are considering a trip to this part of the world.

Wayfairer organised a wonderful honeymoon for us! It was clear that their travel specialists have considerable experience of the destinations suggested, as they provided an itinerary that covered exactly what we wanted to do and produced a very helpful booklet of travel information. The accommodation that they selected in Tanzania was excellent and we had a very knowledgeable safari guide. I would highly recommend Wayfairer for unforgettable, stress-free holidays.

Everything was prepared for my girlfriend and I, what makes your holidays a lot more enjoyable and relaxing. The tours were really good, the driver and tour guide very friendly. I went to Burma and without speaking the local language it makes it really difficult to go anywhere as the local people don't really speak English.

This was the most incredible holiday I have ever been on. I went not knowing what to expect but given all the preparation Wayfairer had done on our behalf I was confident it would be a smooth and enjoyable ride. WOW was that putting it mildly. The whole holiday was great surprise after great surprise. For the first three days while in Siam Reap we had our own tour guide who spoke great English, took us to local places which were known to have delicious food. We went on a bike ride round the temples which was so much more fun than walking or getting a car and much quicker - taking the cycle paths meant we could see more. The accommodation was a boutique hotel and top notch and in a great location and we had a driver for the second day (and who also took us to and from the airport who was lovely). Flying to the capital we were greeted by a new tour guide and driver. These two became great friends of ours and we are still in touch. Again really great experience, saw the sites as per our agenda, beautiful boutique hotel and our tour guide even went off the agenda and got us tickets to the Cambodia/Thai football match. Great fun. We then went to a National Park before going down to the coast. On reflection although sleeping in a Khmer Cottage was an 'experience', there wasnt much else to do there and the waterfall wasn't anything much given we didnt go in rainy season. If I were to do it again i would go straight to the coast have a night in the amazing hotel we stayed in and then go to one of the islands off the coast and stay there for a night or two. We visited the smaller island for a day trip on our free day and it was pure paradise. They have huts and wow, I would have loved to wake up in one of those and sip my morning coffee on the terrace looking out onto the crystal clear waters. Coming back we went via another national park and saw huge monkeys swinging from trees and eagles soaring above our boat. It was only a quick hour or two boat trip around the lakes but definitely worth it. Tom was amazing before, during and after the trip. I felt so well looked after and it was great to have such an incredible holiday with everything already taken care of. Making good friends with locals, getting to visit local places that other tourists may not have known about was great and knowing everyone is paid well was the icing on the cake. Thank you for such a great holiday. I can't wait to book my next one! I've been recomending Wayfairer to everyone who asks about my trip. It really is the perfect company if you want to make sure you get the best of everything with the knowledge noone is being explotied in the process.

My wife and I agreed that our holiday in Cambodia was without doubt the best we have ever had. Every day was different, ranging from the magic of the temples of Angkor, the wildlife, ranging from dolphins to elephants, the sadness of the Killing Fields, the majesty of the Royal Palace to the beauty of Lonely Beach. To pick any one thing was impossible, but if forced to it was the absolute brilliance of the staff of the company at every level, in the UK organising and supporting the holiday and in Thailand as brilliant guides and when due to a travel delay, caused by extreme weather, rearranging and supporting us in a way that actually enhanced our holiday!
