My husband and sons had a fabulous holiday in Costa Rica thanks to Dawn from Holiday Architects. From the first time I spoke with her, a year before our trip, to our post-trip catch up call, she provided a first class service. She took time and care to understand the dietary and other needs of some family members and ensured that the lodges and the in-country agent were fully briefed. Her enthusiasm and detailed knowledge of, Costa Rica, shone through. She recommended wonderful lodges, which she had visited, combined with mainly private specialist tours and transfers. These were ideal for our family and fulfilled our long held wish to experience as diverse a range of Costa Rica’s incredible wildlife as possible, in two short weeks. We visited Macquenque, Arenal and the Osa Peninsula. Each lodge was very different, all in glorious settings, with stunning views. At all we had wonderful sightings of birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects. We realised at Arenal that we were a little over committed with scheduled tours, but were easily able to change our itinerary to give more time to relax in the lodge. The accommodation was all extremely comfortable and the guides and staff at the lodges (and the drivers and guides on the tours Dawn arranged through the in-country agent) were all kind, caring and professional. We will long treasure our memories of this very special trip. Huge thanks Dawn!

Since launching in 2010 Holiday Architects has set out to really listen to our clients – we get to know you, we get to know your travel needs and we design the perfect holiday to match. By operating in this manner, and avoiding the standard off-the-shelf packages offered by many other travel companies, we’ve become one of the fastest-growing and most-trusted tour operators in the UK. Underpinning all of this is the expertise of our team: each committed to servicing their specialist destination, backed up with a dedicated country website packed full of unique hotels, quirky excursions and engaging holiday suggestions. Every one of our team has visited their destination many times (often even lived there), has many years’ experience in the travel industry and is carefully chosen to fit with our friendly and helpful team culture. This means when discussing your travel plans, you’ll have the peace of mind that you’re not only speaking to a genuine expert but a real person who cares about you and your holiday.
We believe we are better than anyone else at listening to your travel aspirations and turning them into perfectly designed holidays, but of course that is not always easy to substantiate, which is why we were extremely proud in 2019 to be named Wanderlust magazine’s ‘Top Tour Operator of the Year’, for the second year running, gaining a 100% satisfaction rating from their readers. Competition at these awards is fierce, so winning brings us a great deal of pleasure and pride as it means we have lots of very happy clients!See more
