“Every part of our adventure ran seamlessly and everyone who helped us on the trip was helpful, informed and generous , a fantastic holiday .”

Helpful Report

“Wayfairer were absolutely fantastic throughout the whole process of booking our holiday. From the first contact with Tom we could tell that he was interested in making sure he really knew what we were looking for rather than just giving us a standard option from a brochure. We went through a number of ideas and Tom was always very helpful and patient while we were trying to decide which to choose and flexible in tweaking the itinerary for us. The holiday itself was incredible and we really think that we wouldn't have had the same experience if we'd not gone through Wayfairer. I would absolutely recommend Wayfairer for planning a holiday - the advice, recommendations and attention to detail are second to none.”

“Holiday super in every way. Listened to what we were looking for, and delivered!! All flights, transfers etc arranged very well, holiday location in terms of both safari and hotel stay were perfect!! I really cannot find a single thing to complain about. And yes, we will most definitely use Wayfairer again. Thank you Tom!!!”

“The phrase, "holiday of a lifetime" may be over used but for Nathalie and I the safari experience was just that. The level of hospitality, friendliness, professionalism, great food and accommodation was outstanding. We had an excellent driver in Abel who left us with some abiding memories. As an example on our last morning he suggested a 'bush breakfast', wherein we left at 07.00 hrs and had breakfast out in the bush an hour later, the content of which didn't stint on what would have been available to us back at camp. And to top it all a little later, back on the game drive, we came across a pride of 12 lions with a freshly killed eland - astonishing. But I'll always remember our 'walking safari' on the day of my birthday with our armed ranger, and later, back at camp having finished our evening meal when the cooks and waiters presenting me with a birthday cake and sang happy birthday to me in Swahili. Because, as the wise amongst us know, the secret to happiness is to buy memories, not things.”

“This was a fantastic trip that went well beyond what we could have expected. All of us are well travelled' and can be demanding but we do also see the things that add value- upgrades, requests for the best guides and the small things that all add up to making something special.”

“"Excellent service from start to finish, nothing was to much for Wayfairer to help us with. The knowledge of staff was immense and we felt confident booking knowing that everything had been tested personally before being recommended by the awesome Harry! Harry himself liaised with staff on our beautiful Halong Bay cruise to arrange a surprise proposal involving a private moonlit dinner with flowers, fairy lights, wine and beautiful scenery.....she said yes! We will be booking our next holiday with Wayfairer and would be more than happy to recommend them. Keep up the good work guys.”

“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.”

Helpful Report

“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.”
