Our top example family trips to New Zealand
My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in New Zealand. We had an unbelievable experience with Jacada! They knew amazing places to stay and provided every bit of assistance along the way. We were so happy we didn’t plan this trip alone. We really enjoyed the simple planning process which made us feel like our desires were taken into consideration.
Extremely professional and everything was exceptional
Ellie has done a fabulous job listening to our interests, needs, wants and desires in customizing our Australia/Tasmania/New Zealand itinerary. She has put together a spectacular trip for us. I would highly recommend Ellie and Jacada for your travel needs.
We asked for a trip of a lifetime and Rosanna and Cathy delivered - and more! Our experience of working with Jacada to plan our trip was exceptional. Any questions and amendments/additions were swiftly sorted to make this trip the best holiday we have ever had. As it was planned so well with every detail covered, everything ran so smoothly…
Every detail from the lodging at 5 different stops, to transportation in-between, to recommendations on what to do and planning excursions was handled with absolute precision by Ellie, Cathy and the rest of their team. Cannot recommend working with Jacada, specifically Ellie and Cathy, highly enough. They made it possible for my family to enjoy the trip of a lifetime!!
