"Lake manze camp was the most memorable and exciting part of the holiday. It was absolutely perfect in every way. The variety and sheer number of animals and birds was beyond expectation, and all the staff we met, our drivers, the managers of the camp etc really went out of their way to do everything to delight us. It was a joy to be there, I only wish we could have stayed longer."

"Perfect to the last detail 5/5
We've never used a tour operator for a holiday before but felt a bit intimidated about booking our first safari as we felt there was a mountain of inside knowledge we didn't have. Wayfairer gave us some absolutely essential advice about our options and this is the main reason we chose them above all the other operators. Then, once we had committed, not only did they understand exactly what we wanted and how to make it happen, but also provided unbelievable value for money while doing it. We had the experience of a lifetime and every detail was perfectly calibrated to the holiday we had asked for. I don't think you can get a better experience, with staff who are so knowledgeable and look after you so well, anywhere else. I would recommend Wayfairer to anyone and would definitely use them again in a heartbeat."
"Two informative and fun weeks in Japan for 3 generations.
Five of us, including 3 generations ages 12 to 82, planned a 2 week trip to Japan.. Four travel services were asked to develop an appropriate itineray for our group. Wayfairer was most responsive and developed the most interesting and appropriate itinerary. We decided on 3 locations, Tokyo, Kyoto and Hakone (as an onsen and outdoor experience). Our itinerary combined culture (temples, shrines and castles), museums ranging from Picasso to science to digital art, and unique Japanese experiences such as a kimono tea ceremony, a manga art class and tickets to a summo wrestling tournament. Wayfairer arranged for the most informative and fun guides for each experience and logistics were a perfect combination of public transportation and private vans. Accomodations, experiences, logistics all seamless and enjoyed by all. Five stars Wayfairer."
“Exceptional service and support throughout. From initial enquiry and throughout our holiday, Thea our Wayfairer agent was helpful, knowledgeable, contactable, responsive, proactive and consistent. We have travelled around the world with various different tour operators and companies, this was by far the best experience we have ever had. Other companies are either getting too big to be able to provide the personalised experience or just don't take responsibility for their customers whilst on holiday. Wayfairer made our holiday special.”
"The Wayfairer team discussed, made suggestions and put the most wonderful itinerary together for us, we covered a lot of miles during our first seven days in Thailand but we are so pleased that we experienced as much as we did in this way. Travelling from Bangkok to Chiang Mai with lots of great stops enroute including an home-stay experience where we were made to feel extremely welcome and luckily we had someone to translate for us... We had never travelled to Thailand before so having the luxury of a guide and driver was wonderful, we visited places that we would not have entered if we had been on our own but thanks to them had some amazing food and we learnt a great deal about this beautiful and diverse country. We missed them both when we went on to have a few days of relaxation before travelling back."
“A Faultless Company With Excellent Staff.
From start to finish myself and my partner cannot fault Wayfairer Travel and the excellent staff we dealt with. All their recommendations were accurate and their help and advise faultless. They were always on hand with answers to any questions, even when we were on holiday and felt well and truly looked after. Our holiday was just perfect, a once in a life time experience and Wayfairer travel were part of this wonderful experience with their tailor made package for us. I would have no hesitations in recommending this wonderful company and would use again in a heartbeat, and look forward to doing so in the future.”
