Great trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands
Vaya planned an 11 day trip for my 10 year old granddaughter and me. We had strict time constraints, but they maximized our experience both in Quito and in the Galapagos Islands Our accommodations, our tour boat, and our guides in both Quito and on the boat were great. When our flight from the islands back to Quito was delayed, Vaya immediately altered the plan and made us feel well-cared for. They were terrific about all communications and I highly recommend their services.

Amazing tour of Cuzco and the Sacred Valley
Vaya took my wife and me on a seven-day tour of Peru's sacred valley. Our guide and driver were fantastically knowledgable, kind, and totally professional. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. Everyone we met in Cuzco and the valley was helpful and friendly. We will be back. The hotels and food were excellent. Vaya Adventures saw to every detail.

Vaya is the Best
Vaya went above and beyond our expectations. The hotels they recommended were great and the guides they provided were exceptional, but what really impressed us was the service they provided when circumstances required us to return to the US early due to a medical emergency. They were with us 100% under some trying conditions and made sure we were safely taken care of.

Two Amazing Weeks
This amazing two-week vacation to Ecuador and Peru was designed exclusively for the four of us. Everything was first class with the right amount of touring and free time to explore on our own. The accommodations were superior, the tours were very interesting and educational, and the special time in the Galapagos Islands and excursions to Macho Picchu were memories of a life time.

Dream Vacation
Vaya truly helped us to plan our dream vacation. Jack customized our trip to meet the needs of our active teenagers and everyone had an incredible time. The hotels were superb and the guides were amazing. Vaya really knows South America inside and out. We have friends who took similar trips and did not have the experience we had. Everything flowed very smoothly. The personal touches made everything special, private picnics in the mountains and hiking the last part of the Inca trail into Machu Picchu are highlights. Our Galapagos cruise was life changing. We can't thank them enough for the trip of a lifetime.
