Just returned from a fabulous two weeks in Borneo. Erin put together a great itinerary for us and was able to give sound advice which helped with our final decision. Once there everything went smoothly and the guides were all very knowledgeable. We saw so much wildlife, even the pygmy elephants. Having booked two very successful holidays with Holiday Architects we wouldn't hesitate to use them again.

Very well planned trip. Fenton asked us lots of questions about what we wanted and then suggested some things we hadn’t thought about. This resulted in a great cultural tour of Japan that will be a difficult trip to beat.

Just back from a fabulous trip to New Zealand along with stops in Sydney and Singapore. It was so well organised and thought through. The scenery was amazing, we stayed in really great places, especially some great boutique B&B and hotels, especially in Wellington. The the people were really lovely and we had some great food and wine. Highlights of the trip were the geo-thermal parks in Rotoura a wine tasting trip in Napier and the Trans alpine over the Southern Alps Thank you so much Helen for master minding such a great experience

We have just returned from 2 weeks in Vietnam, organised for us by Holiday Architects, and it was a fantastic trip. Everything worked so well, and there really is not a single thing I would change about it. Fenton at HA got things together for us, and he put together an itinerary that was completely in tune with our hopes and wishes for the trip, based on his detailed knowledge of the country. We are so grateful to him and his colleagues at HA, and we'll definitely book with them again for our future trips.

Jordan was amazing. It was possible to visit so many different and wonderful places on a short trip, and we wished that we could have stayed longer. Highlights for us were staying in Wadi Rum, our camel ride at sunset, and the incredible desert landscapes; and of course, Petra, which we were lucky enough to see without the crowds - though sadly this was because so many people had cancelled their trips due to the situation in Israel. All the Jordanians we met - our guides and hotel staff - were without exception friendly and helpful; but our special thanks go to our wonderful driver, Subhi, who was excellent in every respect, who went out of his way to take us on routes he thought we might especially enjoy, and from whom we learnt so much. Thank you to Holiday Architects for arranging a great holiday, and for making us feel confident about travelling during Ramadan.

really good communications with Fenton and with all of his colleagues we encountered, excellent local guides, and a holiday plan that reflected our wishes and priorities intelligently. I can't wait to go back to Vietnam.

What an amazing experience we had with Holiday Architects. We travelled to Vietnam and as we had not been on this type of holiday we left all the detail to Fenton who organised everything for us. Flights/Transfers and we had such gorgeous hotels.
All the excursions were spot on and definitely gave us an insight into the culture of Vietnam also so much thought going into our personal needs as well. Different ways to move around cycle/tuktuk/boat etc. Feeding times – lunches included, always somewhere to stop eat/toilet etc. It’s like they could read our minds.
It’s the first time we have really had personal guides and it worked so well for us, the people are so lovely and not overbearing just the correct balance of what we needed and wanted.
I cannot wait to book again.

Communication with Holiday Architects was excellent-they were responsive to all questions and lines of enquiry. They listened well to the exact requirements of our trip and created an itinerary which met all of our expectations. A week in Jordan was long enough to get a feel for the country and experience the culture, scenery, food and traditions. The local Jordanian people were friendly and hospitable and we felt safe and well looked after at all times. Petra and the Wadi Rum were real highlights and watching the sun come up over both locations has left unforgettable memories.

We have had the most memorable trip to Sri Lanka which exceeded our expectations.
Rebecca did an amazing job organising our trip, the hotels were fabulous and the experiences were such fun. We had a fabulous food tasting tour with a guide who was so knowledgeable, train ride through tea plantations, fun bike ride in rural farming countryside.
Our driver Sarath was so caring and had so much historical information for us as we we travelling along. He made the trip so enjoyable for us.
Thank you Rebecca for organising a fantastic trip and for all of the information you gave us before our travels, we would love to return one day to see other parts of the country.

Fenton at Holiday Architects put together a fabulous holiday in Vietnam for our party of four. The trip was perfectly balanced between excursions /activities and times to relax and do our own thing. The four hotels selected by Fenton all met with our requirements - good locations coupled with great service & hospitality from the staff. All the guides met us as arranged as we moved on to each location - they were all knowledgeable & personable .Top marks to Fenton & the team

We had the most wonderful holiday in Sri Lanka. Rebecca looked after us throughout the planning stages and was great at answering any queries or little changes we wanted to make. We also appreciated the follow up on our return home.
Whilst in Sri Lanka we were looked after by our Guide Janaka, who was very professional and knowledgeable. Everything went to plan.
I’d highly recommend Holiday Architects if you want to experience something really special. It takes the stress out of all the research and planning.

I can't not rate Holiday Architects and Emma more highly (is there such a thing as a 6 star review?). From the minute I contacted HA to even a follow up phone call when we were home (it's wonderful to relive your holiday). Emma was wonderful from the beginning - organising a faultless family holiday - understanding all our needs perfectly. Travellink, their agents in Morocco were also outstanding. We had an amazing relationship with our driver, who was an absolute inspiration and made sure we saw the real Morocco. We travelled during Ramadan which gave us a great insight into Islam too. We loved every stage of our trip, from reaching the highest point of the Atlas mountains, to the less well-known Kasbah Amridil, riding camels in the Sahara and lunch with a Berber Family. I highly recommend Holiday Architects and very much hope to travel with them again soon.

Wonderful trip to Argentina. I asked Louise to design a holiday travelling from Mendoza through Salta across the Andes to the Atacama by road with a private guide - not a trip they have offered before. It all worked perfectly, we saw some beautiful places and had two terrific guides. Attention to detail was excellent throughout and thoroughly recommend this company.

Erin ensured that she fully understood the type of trip we wanted and she delivered well above our expectations, the planning was down to the smallest detail to ensure that everything went smoothly from start to finish. We experienced so much in the 12 days we were in Borneo and couldn’t have asked for more (other than more days off work of course!). Absolutely fabulous and we highly recommend speaking to the experts at Holiday Architects.

Dawn at Holiday Architects planned a wonderful 18nt holiday for us to Costa Rica. I have used this company twice before and each time their country experts were absolutely lovely, extremely knowledgable and went out of their way to get the holiday just right. They always listen to what you want and make great suggestions. The agents they used in Costa Rica were first class and our private transfers they arranged between different areas were always on-time (or early) with very comfortable vehicles and friendly drivers. We had the local agents Whats app number throughout the trip in case we needed to contact them about any arrangements which is also useful. I would not hesitate to recommend HA to others who want a bespoke holiday created and I will definitely use them again.

Not long back from a wonderful trip to Cambodia. Lisa from HA was a great help in tailoring the holiday to our requirements and everything went very smoothly with the local guides and drivers through Exo travel. We stayed in some lovely boutique hotels particularly memorable in Siem Reap, Battambang and the Cardamom mountains where the service and friendliness of the staff was excellent without being obsequious. Thoroughly recommend HA

This was a bucket list trip to Jordan for 2 retired couples. Everything was organised as promised, and the sights exceeded expectations. Our driver/guide was very responsive and helpful and helped make our trip so memorable.
We would definitely use Holiday Architects again.

This was a fabulous holiday. We had a reasonably good idea of what we wanted to do in our 3 week trip, but Kirsty from Holiday Architects worked with us to flesh out the plan and turn it into an unforgettable holiday - full of highlights and stand out stays in beautiful South Africa.
Our only problem now is trying to decide where to go next - South Africa is going to take some beating!

This was our first foray into SE Asia. We had done some of our own research to come up with a rough itinerary but needed help knitting this together into a 20 day tour.
Lisa at Holiday Architects not only did this but also made helpful suggestions to improve our itinerary and also sprinkled it with the magic dust of local tours, expert knowledge and wonderful experiences.
Our trip was faultless and will live long in our memories.
We can highly recommended using Holiday Architects' services and will do so ourselves when we next visit one of their regions of specialism.

We have just returned from India and it was honestly the best holiday we have had! The itinerary was brilliant, Harry at Holiday Architects was so helpful while booking the holiday and the information and help before we travelled was great. When we arrived in India we couldn't have felt more looked after. The guides and drivers were just brilliant and knowledgeable and were happy to help with anything we needed. (But to be honest everything was pretty much covered so nothing extra was needed!) I highly recommend this company. We really can't fault anything. Thank you for the memories.
