Vaya helped us plan the trip of a lifetime
Vaya was extremely helpful in every aspect of our Galapagos trip. The ship they recommended was outstanding and the activities and tours before and after the cruise were fantastic. Many thanks to James, our tour guides, and the rest of the Vaya staff.

Galapagos trip
From when we landed in Quito, this was the finest trip we have ever taken. The service is outstanding all the way! The hotel in Quito was magnificent , the tourguides and drivers were very knowledgeable and concerned about our comfort. Out trip to Galapagos was amazing and we were pleasantly surprised with the cruise itself. All of the staff went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Did I mention the five star meals all along the way? Hoping to go back and tour the other islands soon.

A Fabulous Peru Experience
Vaya created a dream of a lifetime for me in taking me through the diverse landscapes and cultures of Peru. As a textile artist I was thrilled with the many experiences to see weaving as done by the people in various parts of Peru. The hotels, and restaurants they arranged for me were first class, with great service and delicious food. And then , of course, there was the beauty of Machu Picchu with a knowledgeable guide to highlight the secrets of the great Inca masters. Vaya got all the details right so that the total trip was so very special.

Original trip
In my opinion Vaya Adventures is very good company. You can choose very original itineraries , far from regular tourist destinations and what is the most important, they let you plan your trip as you want! You can change itinerary, pick what you like. I was in Ecuador - volcanoes and haciendas - and everything was very well organized. Hotels were great and very original, guides very knowledgeable , reliable and very nice. I didn't have any problems, everything was perfect. Vaya Adventures doesn't offer cheap trips, but you get what you pay for. Services worth every dollar paid.
