Terrific experience with Vaya
The Vaya staff who helped us plan and then organize the trip were knowledgeable about Spain, responsive and focused on our trip goals. Execution once we were there was seamless, with excellent guides who enriched our experience of everything we visited, and made terrific suggestions for sights/experiences we would otherwise not have had.

Attention to detail was perfect!
Every detail of our trip in Peru and Ecuador was perfect. The itinerary met our expectations, the guides were fantastic. Accommodations were beautiful, clean, and well located. The food was outstanding. I would highly recommend Vaya to plan your vacation. We will definitely have them plan our next adventure in South America.

Vaya helped us plan our trip to…N and N’s Couples Vacation
Vaya helped us plan our trip to Portugal exactly like we wanted to experience the country. Gretchen and Elizabeth were wonderful agents helping us plan the entire 10 day vacation. We were hooked up with a company in Portugal that had top notch drivers and guides. Our boutique hotels were very comfortable. They were located in great locations. The breakfasts included were exceptional.Our guides were awesome. We had so much fun sharing their cities and country with them. Our food experiences were well selected by our guides. Our guides sought out a lot of local delicacies and traditional foods. What a treat we had tasting!!!! Thank you Vaya!! As soon as Neal and I figure out the next country we will call on your services. You are the BEST and we are blessed to have found you online. Blessings for all the joy and experiences you add to others. Nancy and Neal 🌸

AMAZON
My wife and I celebrated our 60th wedding anniversary on this trip and Vaya certainly helped make it a memorable experience for us. To begin with the Amazon itself is unimaginable and unforgettable and nice touches like the special cake baked for us by the wonderful people on the excellent “Tucano” , the champagne and chocolates in our suite in Rio, dinner at “Guiseppi’s”. All of it really was nice. I must mention the great guides as well. Lovely people every one. All in all a great experience.
