What a wonderful adventure in Japan! Big thanks to Fenton and the team for a tailor made two week trip, taking in Tokyo, Kanazawa, Hiroshima, Himeji, Kinosaki Onsen and Kyoto. Train and bus tickets were awaiting us on arrival at Tokyo, airport transfers organised, and some great excursions and guides all booked in (a traditional tea ceremony, a zen meditation with an 83 year old Buddhist monk, a sumo exhibition match - with the chance to wrestle a retired sumo wrestler(!), four walking tours, a wonderful cycling tour of Kyoto’s quiet back streets, a boat trip to the beautiful Miyajima island to see the floating torii gate and friendly sika deer, and a full day trip out to view Mount Fuji and the five lakes. A helpful WiFi device to use throughout the trip and handy advice before we set off re luggage forwarding, the trains, and English biscuits as gifts for our guides, in lieu of tips! Just the right amount of hand holding whilst still ensuring we could travel independently and not be part of some big coach trip type group. We made some wonderful core family memories and would highly recommend the team at Holiday Architects!Many thanks, Paula and family

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
