CABad travel arrangements / good tours Houston - Quito - Galapagos: bad scheduling: arrived Quito hotel 105 a.m. wakeup call at 4 a.m.; hotel 45 min. drive from airport. Houston - Chicago- Vancouver: not a logical routing; not enough time in Houston to make connection; had to rebook but got a more logical routing via LA to Vancouver. Tours / local transportation / local guides-drivers: all good Overall rating: 2.5/5

GBBucket List Trip - OUTSTANDING! This trip was SO well organized and executed. At every stop, we were greeted by a member of their team. The tours were well planned with the guides being very knowledgeable and helpful. A special shout out to Paul in Machu Picchu who helped my husband (who will be getting his hip replaced in July) navigate the steps up and into and out of the Citadel AND Raul in Santiago who we were fortunate to have on every tour and drop off and pick up from the airport. He was so helpful and kind. Our only suggestion would be to have something planned on the last day, so there isn't such a hours long gap before a late night flight out.

GBA bucket list trip for sure! So well organized. This was planned in 2019 then the world shut down. Martha was able to get us as many flight refunds as possible and we just kept holding on until finally both Peru and Easter Island were opened up. Not one glitch with all the flights, people to meet and multiple excursions. Everyone was very professional. Everything was planned to the smallest detail so it was a very stress free vacation. This was a bucket list for sure- no regrets. Looking to go back for Galapagos and I am sure she will have a great plan in mind for us. Thanks for making a dream come true.

GBAn exciting hassle free trip While working in Chile we decided to visit Easter Island and Machu Picchu. We used SAVacations to arrange our travels.. They booked airline reservations, hotels and tours.All went according to plan. We chose 3 star hotels which were great. We were met at all airports and tour guides were always on time. We would definitely use SA Vacations again for travel to South America.

GBPatagonia & Iguazu Falls Trip We recently took a trip to Patagonia & nearby towns, Iguazu Fall and Brazil and were very impressed with SA Vacations and Martha who put together the itinerary for us. Since the trip was over 3 weeks long with numerous international and internal flights and hotel stays and tours, we were concerned at first but Martha did an excellent job in organizing the trip. We were met by courteous and professional guides at various airports who drove us to our hotels and picked us up for excellent tours. Everything was executed flawlessly and we were very impressed with Martha and the company. Since this was the first time we used SA Vacations, we had lot of questions for Martha and she answered them patiently and thoroughly. We also had to make changes during the planning stage and she was able to modify the trip to fit our needs promptly, thanks to their extensive knowledge and experience on South America. SA vacations and Martha have far exceeded our expectation and we’ll definitely use the company again for our next trip to Galapagos and Amazon. We highly recommend this company!
