Our trip to Chile was fantastic! George helped to plan a perfectly orchestrated trip. The Cliffs Reserve was promised to be a surprise thriller for our family. After trusting George with this recommendation the true surprise was that it was even better than promised. An "out of the way" hidden gem with a staff that compares to none that we have ever had at any 5 star resort. My family begged not to leave after 4 nights and we miss everything about our stay at Cliffs.
We had an amazing trip filled with wonderful extremes from rain forest to desert. Horseback riding on the beach, sand boarding on giant sand and salt dunes, shopping in Santiago, hiking, exploring salt flats, great food and wine and learning about Chile-perfect!
This was our first experience with a travel agency such as Jacada Travel. Our contact was Byron Thomas and without fail he answered all our questions and requests. He was an excellent contact. The whole trip was extremely well organized and there was not a hitch in our stay. The places Byron chose were all better than we had expected.
From our experience we rate Jacada Travel as A1 and would recommend them to all.
Jacada listened and responded well to our brief. The itinerary they suggested was just right for us. Hotels were well chosen, guides and transfers were high quality. They created an excellent holiday for us.
My sister and I had been planning a trip to Africa for years. We just never knew how to get started. We spoke to Byron at Jacada and he took care of everything!! He was absolutely amazing. I couldn't be happier with the trip. It was honestly the best two weeks I've ever had. I will never plan a trip without Byron again!
We have stayed in amazing places and had daily adventures both planned and unplanned in Costa Rica. The people here are friendly, knowlegable and hospitable. We have learned so much about coffee and chocolate production as well as the native flora and fauna. The rafting on the Pacuare River was so fun thanks to the expert guides who made us feel safe. The beach is beautiful and the water temperature is perfect. The water is too rough, however, for kayaking and snorkeling at this time of year. There is plenty to do even on rainy or cloudy days like touring a cocoa plantation where the cocoa is processed into chocolate bars and you can taste and compare chocolate from different regions. This is a rich culture. We would like to come again.
I consider myself lucky to have found Jacada to plan our trip to the Galapagos Islands. We could not have been more pleased every step of the way. They exceeded our expectations and I can recommend them highly and will absolutely use them again!
Jacada is the best for South Africa travels.
I can honestly say this tour was beyond all expectations. I was blown away by all accommodations and experiences, and Tess was a dream to deal with.
I recommend Jacada highly to anyone - our trip was perfectly planned - all of our guides were great, our hotels were great, the itinerary was well thought out. We will use Jacada again when we next travel abroad. Jen, our agent there, thought of every detail and had the trip highly organized. Thanks to the thoughtful planning, we had an incredible family trip!
