So proud of Happistart…Let’s Go!

This was my first group trip and Happistart was def the best choice for me. I watched them on Instagram when they started during Covid and finally took the plunge. Well! They have a great thing going and I had an amazing time - exploring in Africa, making new friends in the group, sharing planned and spontaneous adventures. The trip was well organized with every detail attended to, I could simply relax and explore all the way thru. Great chaperones, easy transfers and excellent communication to solve/resolve any issues. I was concerned about roommate selection and they aced that too, not just for me but for everyone! So grateful! Great brand! I’m planning my next trip very soon. Ps. Samoye and Renard are made for this! Great vibes and fun!

I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE IN PERU!!

Booking my vacation with Happistart was hands down the best decision I could have made. This was not my first interaction with Soumoya and her team so I was already aware of her warmth and professionalism but she completely blew me away with her meticulous organization on this group trip.

She didn't just plan a trip; she masterfully crafted an absolute masterpiece of an itinerary that perfectly balanced thrilling adventure, fascinating history, and deeply needed relaxation. Every single detail was executed seamlessly, completely eliminating the typical travel stress and allowing me to fully immerse myself in a flawless vacation. Her passion for her clients and her expertise are unmatched, and I am profoundly grateful for the dedication she poured into making my experience so perfect.

My ten days in Peru was well spent. The early morning departure had me in shambles at times but it was absolutely worth it in the end. The highlight for me on this trip was the dinner in the dessert. I am a sucker for fireworks and a saxophonist, so to have both my pleasures combined in one setting was perfect. I wished spending the night in the dessert was an add on but it was a surreal experience regardless. I can say happistart gives you value for your money.

If Peru is on your list of countries to visit, i implore you to do it with Happistart. You wont regret it. Additionally, if you are simply looking for a truly elite, stress-free, and unforgettable vacation, do yourself a huge favor and book with Happistart. Soumoya is an absolute gem, a master of her craft and I will undoubtedly be booking future adventures with her!"

Thank You so much for an amazing time in Peru❤️

My experience with Happistart was…

My experience with Happistart was great. They provided visa application assistance as well as itinerary preparation. I was a solo traveler with a toddler, traveling to three different countries in two weeks and everything went seamlessly. They also reached out to me during my trip just to check in and I truly appreciated that.

St maarten and DR

Happistart is the best from the moment you sign up until you return home. Our chaperone was Rovaldo he's like a big brother to us never leaving our side always making sure everything went well. At one point he makes me laugh until tear came to my eyes. The team was like family we look our for each other all the way. The experience was 10/10, I look forward to Happistart trip each year. Don't believe just sign up & see u in farin
