Trip of a Lifetime
Vaya Adventures planned and arranged the trip of a lifetime for my wife and me to South America. We gave them the destinations we wanted to include and they did the rest. The local guides were superb and the suggested hotels were excellent. We travelled from Iguasu Falls to Patagonia, from Buenos Aires to Santiago and Lima, from Easter Island to Macchu Pichu. I could not have asked for more.

Vaya Adventures does a very good job of trip organization
We have used V.A. for two trips to S America, both of them very successful. I recommend them to anyone travelling to the south.

Personalized travel
Vaya Adventures created a specialized travel itinerary just for us. We travelled to Ecuador in October 2014 and combined a Galapagos boat adventure with a stay at La Selva Lodge in the Amazon. Vaya arranged for English speaking guides to meet us and for transportation to and from our hotels and flights. We would definitely use them again in the future.

private tour with Vaya , march 2015 Santiago CHILI
We booked private tour with Vaya Adventures when we decided to go on cruise in So America.We wanted to stay 5 days in Santiago then go to Valparaiso where cruise started. This was the smartest decision we made. .Arrangements were done by Jack, representative, including hotels, transportations. We were met at airport by nice guide Philipe, he was very informative, prompt, great personality, perfect english. He arranged several tours for us in Santiago, gave great recommendations and was with us during all our trip till we started our cruise. Another guide we liked a lot was Bernando. I would highly recommend this tour for all travelers.

Vaya was Top Notch!
I took my 2 daughters (both in their 20's) to Peru and asked Vaya for their help in planning our trip. Vaya was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad she gave me their name. Everything was handled extremely well from the time we landed in Lima til the time we departed. Vaya handled all of our tours, tour guide, transportation, etc. as we moved about in Peru. We did Lima, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Cusco. We did our own tour and had the best drivers and tour guides plus stayed at top notch hotels. All of this was important to me...3 ladies traveling in a foreign country. We felt safe, secure and had so much fun everywhere we went. I have recommended Vaya to many friends! Thanks Vaya!!

Excellent trip to Patagonia
A well planned trip to all the places we requested. Hotels were excellent, much better than we would have chosen for ourselves. The land transportation was also excellent; that can be difficult there as there are some large distances between attractions. Patagonia is one of the most beautiful places on earth and we were able to see it in a well organized manner.
