This was the second trip HA have arranged for us and again they came up with a blinder!! Three years ago we went with them for a month to Namibia on self drive covering pretty much whole length and breadth of the country .. having determined what we wanted HA did the rest with lodges car hire etc … everything went according to plan …. Two weeks ago we travelled to Oman with HA. Again we worked with them to travel to parts we wanted and left HA to book hotels car hire etc… we had an amazing trip … 3 hotels all good quality … service impeccable …. Trip included 3 days self drive in the mountains above Muscat and stayed at a stunning hotel with views to die for. … anyone with doubts about Oman …don’t !!! It’s got huge amount to see and experience and far less brash than its neighbours … well done HA .. we’ll be back !!
We've just returned from a fabulous two-week holiday to Sri Lanka, carefully put together by Lisa J-S of HA, who knows the country well and understood perfectly what we were looking for in terms of types of location and hotels. She was so helpful throughout the planning and booking process, including securing excellent flights, making the whole holiday (from planning it to enjoying it!) so easy for us. This is the first time I have used HA but I'll go straight to them the next time we are planning a similar multi-location trip.
We recently have returned from Sri Lanka all organised by the very brilliant Rebecca Dodds.All the arrangements were recently excellent. Our guide was charming, very knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. The choice of small hotels that we stayed in was just what we wanted.It was an unforgetable holiday and we would certailnly recommend Holiday Architects to anyone considering a similar adventure.
We have just returned from an amazing trip to Namibia. After initial ideas of what to do and where we go, we contacted Kirsty who put together a great itinerary for us. It was exactly what we wanted and Kirsty’s in-depth knowledge of the country meant that our many questions were answered before we set off. We also realised that our last destination in Namibia wasn’t far from Victoria Falls and Kirsty organised a transfer there which briefly involved crossing through Botswana.Namibia lends itself to self driving and we saw so many variations of scenery from desert with red sand dunes to Etosha, the game park which was teeming with wildlife.We often met Dutch, Swiss and German people on our travels. However, we were surprised at how few British tourists there were, especially as Namibia’s first language is English and we drive on the same side of the road plus we felt safe and the people are so friendly and helpful.
We’re just back from a 3 week holiday in India which I can only describe as insanely brilliant. Clare at Holiday Architects listened to us and completely ‘got’ what we were after - smaller, boutique hotels, some countryside destinations (as well as great stays in Delhi, Agra, Jaipur and Udaipur), plenty of walking and cooking/local eating opportunities and not too many early starts or very long link up journeys. Clare also helped us tag on a final, chill out week in Kerala, drifting on a houseboat and staying in a couple of top backwaters’ resorts, the last one right on the Arabian sea. She stayed in close touch with her excellent local travel company contacts whilst we were in India - our driver and guides were all fab and any minor issues quickly sorted. We highly recommend Clare and Holiday Architects - and will be back!
Just returned from our fantastic adventure in Sri Lanka. Lisa Jankus-Scott helped to organise a surprise trip for my husband’s birthday, she had various suggestions and the personalised itinerary exceeded all our expectations. This is the first time we have travelled with a chauffeur/guide but can definitely recommend it. Ananda was so helpful, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish and we would definitely use Holiday Architects again.
Lisa's expertise on Sri Lanka was key to helping me put together our itinerary for a 24 day trip around Sri Lanka. The entire holiday went without a hitch and we can't wait to go back to experience some more! I was apprehensive about being with a dedicated driver for this amount of time, but Murali's knowledge and consideration of what we wanted made it all 100% perfect. Thank you all!
We went to India in January 2026, our second trip with HA but first time to India. The interaction and advice we received from Clare was first class and we did change the agenda around. It felt like nothing was too difficult to arrange or rearrange. On the trip itself, everything went like absolute clockwork. The local guides were just so knowledgeable and that really makes the difference. Had an absolutely fabulous time and again, HA get a thorough recommendation from us. Thank you - We’d give you 6 stars if we could.
From an initial online enquiry I was contacted by Erin, who took time to determine our needs and desires. Within a couple of days she came back to us with a comprehensive itinerary which, over the following few days, we massaged between us to create a full and fabulous three centre holiday taking in Kuala Lumpur, Hoi An and Hue. On the actual holiday, the agreed itinerary went flawlessly, with the quality of the included hotels, transfers and tours being excellent. We had nothing to worry about but enjoying ourselves, and we did! We had a truly amazing time. Thank you Erin, an absolutely terrific job!
We have no hesitation in recommending Holiday Architects. We have just returned from our first trip with them, to Costa Rica. The Costa Rica specialist has first hand and extensive knowledge of the area, which was really helpful in our planning and became clear as this was our fourth and excellent visit to Costa Rica. The itinerary and lodges were well thought out for what we wanted, which was a nature orientated holiday. Our outward travel was frustrated by the technical failure of our aircraft and Holiday Architects were monitoring our new flights and keeping all parties informed.
