Our 4th trip through Jacada

My husband and I recently returned from our 4th adventure planned through Jacada. Each trip has been extraordinary from the first telephone conversation with a travel designer to the landing in your home airport!! They have consistently gone above and beyond planning truly unique experiences based on your interests. The added personal touches are a delight and, in some cases, a true surprise!!! I would, without a doubt, recommend Jacada and our most recent travel designers Charles and Flavia - our 40th Anniversary trip to Panama and Costa Rica was created by both of them and we will forever treasure the memories from that adventure!! We also loved each and every guide that we were fortunate to spend time with along our journey. To Jacada, we would like to say, please continue to operate with the thoughtfulness to your clients that we have experienced on each of our trips. Cheers and Pura Vida, Deborah and Subodh Passey.

Excellent Trip to Stunning Sri Lanka

We just returned from an awesome 15-day trip to Sri Lanka. Jim Stacy planned the perfect itinerary for us, based on a few phone conversations and email exchanges. We were blown away by how stunning Sri Lanka was, how much diversity it had (cultural sites, tea plantations, beaches, mountains etc), how kind the people were, and how delicious every meal was. We didn’t have time to plan the Sri Lanka trip ourselves, so are particularly grateful that Jim did it for us on such short notice and nailed it!

Dear Tania & Trevor,

Thank you so much for your lovely review. I really enjoyed working with you to craft a wonderful itinerary for you to explore Sri Lanka together. I'm so pleased that even with the short time we had available to plan, we were able to ensure that you had an incredible trip experiencing the country for the first time.

I look forward to speaking with you again soon to plan your next adventure.

All the best,

The Fabulous Em and Flavia

Em and Flavia did a great job of putting together our trip to Easter Island and Iguazu Falls. The hotels were perfect and their choices of drivers and guides were outstanding. Their planning and execution made our trip incident free and without drama (no small feat when traveling overseas). Being rather detail oriented myself, I appreciated their attention to every step of the journey. Their advice on everything from luggage allowances to seat selections made this a superb trip. With Em and Flavia, you are in good hands.

Jacada gave us what we asked

I was trying to find a tour company that listens and fits my travel needs. Jacada did just that! We loved our trip to Chile, it was exactly what we wanted. "Off the beaten path" was delivered. The properties were all perfect - the rooms, food and excursions- also transportation and flights. We always felt well taken care of!

Dear Leslie,

Thank you so much for your kind review! It was such a pleasure helping you plan your journey to Chile, and we are thrilled to hear that we were able to deliver the off the beaten path experience you were looking for.

It’s wonderful to know that the excursions - whether you were exploring the Marble Caves or trekking through the Chacabuco Valley - and the seamless logistics allowed you to feel truly taken care of throughout your stay.

We truly enjoyed working with yourself and Donald to tailor this itinerary to your needs. Thank you for trusting us with your travels, and we look forward to collaborating with you on your next great adventure.

Best wishes,

Sixth adventure with Jacada and looking forward to more!

We have just returned from Egypt and Dubai, marking our sixth vacation with Jacada and our first one to Africa and the Middle East. We return to Jacada time and again, due to their long-term track record for creating amazing trips, full of surprises and opportunities that you could not encounter on your own. From conception to completion, their thoroughness and organization is evident in the seamless execution of every moment and every aspect of travel. Accommodations, meals, guides and transportation are top notch. Furthermore, steps are taken to ensure a depth of travel experience. For example, on this trip, Jacada arranged for us to meet with a university professor on our first night in Cairo, who presented a fun and interactive overview of Egyptian history. This was an invaluable reference point that allowed us to quickly understand and tie together all of the amazing sites we were to visit later in the trip. Furthermore, with their careful planning and strong relationships with local tour operators, Jacada made us feel well informed and safe in an unfamiliar part of the world. Finally, when world events required us to adjust our travel route home, Jacada, and it’s affiliates, we’re quick to pivot with the changes and with their suggestions and expertise kept the trip relaxing and magical to the very end. There is no doubt that we will be using Jacada for our future travel- the only challenge will be with all the wonderful places they can take us, which one will we pick next!
Thank you to everyone at Jacada and its affiliates for doing what you do and doing it so well. We would like to end by giving a special shout out to Rosie and Rita for the detailed planning of the trip and a special thank you to our guides, field coordinators, and drivers throughout Egypt and Dubai. You were all absolutely amazing.

Excellent tour company

Excellent tour company. Our consultants Rachel Rose and our concierge, Cathy were both really helpful. They curated a fantastic trip to Vietnam and Cambodia with several really good experiences. The places we visited really gave us a feel for the country and the trip was paced really well. Right from the start of our conversation with Jacada they really understood what we wanted to get out of our trip and put together great hotel suggestions and really good schedule. The trip was really well paced and a good mix of activity and down time. We would definitely use them again

Amazing honeymoon!

We’re so happy that we used Jacada for our honeymoon in Southeast Asia. We built an amazing itinerary with Taylor and Jessica, and their insights and advice were indispensable. Having all of the logistics handled in advance and smoothly executed during the trip left us time and energy to focus on the amazing places visited. We’ve been highly recommending them to all of our friends!

Great Trip!

We had the pleasure of going on an amazing trip to Iceland/Swedish Lapland planned by Jacada Travel. Every detail of our trip was well thought- out and implemented. The accommodations, food and experiences went beyond our expectations.
Our transfers were on time and the guides were knowledgeable and very accommodating.
The planning process was made easy with the addition of the concierge service that is offered by Jacada. Communication was prompt all the way through the planning process with great follow up.
Can't wait to plan our next trip with Jacada!!!

Fantastic tour of Tanzania!

The itinerary put together by the travel team at Jacada couldn’t have been better! For our first trip to Tanzania, we wanted to have as many experiences as possible so we could really get a feel of life (and wildlife) there. The team put together a fantastic plan including Kilimanjaro, Ngorogoro Caldera, Northern and Southern Serengeti and a final stop at ChemChem! Each place had its own unique features, highly knowledgeable guides, and the accommodations were simply perfect! We loved the route they planned for us, each one building on the other - we couldn’t have been more pleased with our experience with Jacada!

Egypt and Jordan Adventure

Our Jacada travel advisor Jack Bedford, curated an adventure of a lifetime for us through Egypt and Jordan! His extensive knowledge of the region allowed him to tailor an itinerary that exceeded our expectations, and was executed without a glitch! Every detail was accounted for, and the level of in-country guides, drivers, etc. assigned to us were superb. This was our second vacation with Jacada and we are already dreaming of our third!

Amazing Costa Rica Adventure

Our trip to Costa Rica was truely amazing. James and Carlos put together an great itinerary over our 2 week trip, with our input and requests all met and exceeded.

All pick ups and transports were seamless and well coordinated. The various hotels and resorts were beautiful and each one unique. We arranged private guided excursions, many of them nature walks. We saw over 100 species of birds, plus many mammals and reptiles. The forests and jungle areas were superb and pristine. Our coffee plantation tour was great as well.

There were many extras that Jacada arranged for us including wine in the room, and a romantic dinner riverside with a bonfire just for us.

There was also an in country Concierge Michael available by WhatsApp who was very helpful and responsive when we had questions.

We highly recommend Jacada Travel, and will definitely use them again for our next big trip.

This was our second trip with Jacada

This was our second trip with Jacada, and once again they exceeded our expectations.

They are truly the best at selecting accommodations, activities, and overall service. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the entire experience felt seamless from start to finish. What really sets Jacada apart is how personal the process feels—they take the time to get to know you and tailor each trip to your interests and travel style.

From the very first phone call to the end of the trip, we felt like VIPs. Even with a lively family like ours, Jacada created an itinerary that suited us perfectly and made the whole experience effortless and memorable.

We highly recommend Jacada to anyone looking for a personalized, luxury travel experience and look forward to traveling with them again

20 Years of Jacada

I suppose we would not continue to use Jacada unless they did almost everything right. The airport transfers on arrival and departure were smooth and we skipped all the lines. Restaurant recommendations and hotel reservations were knowledgeable – – and each came with an explanation of”why”. On our recent Southeast Asia trip, we got got exactly what we asked for: local markets. We went to early morning markets, floating markets, and night markets. With thanks for an excellent trip.

From start to finish, we didn’t have to worry about a single thing. Transportation to everything was taken care of our guide guides were exceptional and there were things we noticed on our trip that were so above and beyond including little gifts in our room.
