What our clients are saying about us

I booked a birthday party for my husband with Tend and the whole process was very smooth. They allowed me to be as hands on as I wanted to in the planning process but took care of everything down the the very last details. It was great to be able to fully enjoy the party and not have to play host. Thank-you Tend.

Angela H.

Michelle and the Tend staff were very responsive and accommodating. The whole team from booking to activities to departure were genuinely invested in making our vacation the best it could be.

The Bruce Family

One of our favourite family vacations to date. Thank you Tend.

Kalya H.

Thank you Tend Services for the most amazing vacation! We rented a beautiful cottage that worked out perfectly. Very relaxing and luxurious. We also booked a water sports day and a private chef through Tend and loved every minute of it. Overall, a great 2 weeks.
