Dawn at Holiday Architects put together a wonderful, personalised special birthday holiday itinerary for me. We wanted to see as much diversity as possible in the 10 days that we had available, and were able to experience wetlands, rainforest, cloud forest and the coast. She organised private transfers to/from all locations, as I did not want to be in any large groups, and similarly the locations she chose for me were more "off the beaten" track, rather than the standard tourist trails you see from most tour operators. It was simply a great privilege and an honour to experience Costa Rica in this way. We saw so many birds, mammals, insects and reptiles, yet even so it only scraped the surface of the wonderful biodiversity that Costa Rica offers! Dawn's vast experience of, and enthusiasm for, Costa Rica and her personal experience of the places we visited were invaluable. She was very patient in tweaking the itinerary until it was "just right" for us, and we are very grateful for her creating this wonderful trip that we will remember forever.

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
