From the time we got off the plane until we hide a fabulous stress free time.
Our tour guide took us on a tour of Sydney followed by stunning visages of the southern highlands.
We then flew to the outback for breathtaking sunrise/ sunsets.
A final stop in the Daintree rain forest for some snorkeling and revitalizing spa treatment topped off our Australian journey.
Jacada put together a package that everyone in the family enjoyed. We would definitely use this service for our next international trip.
We loved our trip Jacada planned for us in Egypt. It was a once in a lifetime experience. Jacada was able to get in EVERYTHING we wanted to see in Egypt without feeling too rused. The whole experience of planning was fun and easy. Can’t wait to plan more trips <3.
We recently returned from a trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia booked through Jacada Travel. From the initial stages of planning through to following up with us at the end of our vacation, Jacada went above and beyond our expectations with personalized service. Jamie and Eugenia, our travel designer and concierge respectively, took our ideas and preferences and ran with them creating a seamless itinerary that felt like us. We especially appreciated the attention that went into making sure the experience could be gluten free (celiac disease) whether we were at a remote safari camp or a fine dining restaurant. When we ran into flight delays arriving to our tour starting point, the in-country support was invaluable in rearranging activities and ensuring we didn’t miss out on anything. We look forward to booking future travel with Jacada!
I took a leap of faith when I booked my family trip to South Korea with Jacada Travel. I researched online and liked the website. After I spoke with Ellie who is the Asia specialist, I anxiously awaited the itinerary, was wowed by the trip details, and booked the trip immediately even without any further pursuit of more thorough review of Jacada Travel. My family was not disappointed and in fact, was more impressed with the travel guides, transportation, sites, food, and hotels. We will definitely work with Jacada Travel in the near future.
Jacada put together a great trip on relatively short notice. Hotels were excellent and in very good locations for the cities we visited. All with outstanding customer service.
All three of my trips with Jacada have been seamless…timing/scheduling/planning were flawless.
The camps chosen for us were all different and led to a wonderful Botswana experience.
From the moment I contacted Jacada, they were very professional to work with. Excellent communication before and during the trip. We are veteran travellers and they manage to exceed our expectations.
My husband and I recently traveled to South Africa and we utilized Jacada travel services. Jody Van Merode planned the perfect trip for us- we spoke over the phone and she put together an itinerary that would best match what we wanted to see, our interests and our budget! We visited two very different game reserves – each beautiful in their own way! We saw all of the wildlife we hoped for and more! At every stage of our trip there was someone waiting to assist us to the next stop! I felt very safe and looked after every step of the way! Our trip to Africa was so special- I cannot wait to return and Jacada is already helping me put together another incredible adventure!!
Alice Cosso and Meg Simpson helped us with our trip to Spain. We toured Barcelona, Majorca, Seville, and Madrid. We are a family of four with two teenagers who were seeing Spain for the first time. We relied upon Meg and Alice to help us with tours,flights,hotels, excursions. We accomplished so much in two weeks. I can’t imagine doing it without their help. We never would have seen what we saw without them. It would’ve been impossible for me to plan this trip on my own. It was seamless and I was able to enjoy myself without stressing out about where we needed to go next.I would absolutely recommend Jacada travel, Meg and Alice to my closest friends and family. You are in good hands!
The trip was perfect from start to finish which I completely attribute to the communication with James and Eugenia. I really felt as if our needs were anticipated and our style of travel understood. They truly picked the best accommodations and made transfers between easy. I’ve never had such a seamless and well-organized travel experience. It is so worth it to have a bespoke holiday planned and managed for you by experienced travel designers and concierges.
We had an excellent trip to Barcelona/Mallorca this August 2024 Jacada Travel! All small details were well thought out and there was someone available for any emergency changes (for example, our flight was overbooked and the concierge in Barcelona was aware and made changes appropriate to make the flight from Barcelona to Mallorca). The choice of hotels and activities were planned wonderfully by Dan Rhodes (Travel Designer) and Rita Pinto (Personal Travel Concierge) and their associated company, Made for Spain. A very memorable trip for my husband and I and our daughter (12) and son(10).
We worked with Jamey and Angela at Jacada to plan our honeymoon in South Africa. We started from scratch not knowing much about South Africa and Jamey met with us to get to know us and our budget and created the most incredible 10 day trip for us. My husband and I have both travelled a lot, but this trip was the best experience of our lives. The team was always there if we had any questions or concerns and every single day of our trip was planned perfectly. I can’t recommend Jacada enough!
All the coordination from the time we entered the country being toured until we left was handled in a seamless and professional manner. Every accommodation was first class, and all employed staff members in the overnight venues were truly professional. The only exception was the airline chosen for internal flights. Their performance was very uneven and disjointed.
James was wonderful! So helpful and courteous. I will definitely consider Jacada when we have future travel needs
Dan Rhodes, my travel agent was, was extremely smart and perceptive. He put together the perfect itinerary. The local agency, Made for Spain and Portugal was also terrific.
I can’t praise Dan enough. I have seldom met anyone so amazing at listening and then working with your guidance to put together the trip of a lifetime. I have a lot of experience working with young people from the best universities and law schools in the United States. When I say that Dan is extraordinary and down to earth as well as precise and flexible, I mean it as high praise.
We booked our travel to Tanzania and Kenya for our 25th wedding anniversary.
Jacada travels This one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. They were always with us throughout the trip without being overbearing and constantly in communication as we were traveling with younger kids.
The places that jacads suggested Were top-notch and we felt like we were pampered all through our trip.
Every necessity and requirements were fulfilled and The people who helped us were cheerful and made it a wonderful experience.
I have no doubt in recommending the travel company and the advice they gave and James who was at Travel concierge was very knowledgeable and helped us figuring out what exactly we needed and again this trip will be cherished By us for the rest of our lives.
I am pretty sure I will use them in my future travels to.
Thanks
Vijay
We had an excellent experience booking an epic African journey with Jacada Travel. The trip included visits to seven countries but everything from the logistics, accommodation, transfer staff, guides and support staff was superb, well planned, and perfectly executed. Special thanks to James from Jacada who worked with us from the booking process until we got back home.
I would highly recommend Jacada Travel as a luxury travel agency!
My wife and I celebrated our honeymoon in New Zealand. We had an unbelievable experience with Jacada! They knew amazing places to stay and provided every bit of assistance along the way. We were so happy we didn’t plan this trip alone. We really enjoyed the simple planning process which made us feel like our desires were taken into consideration.
Murray and Rita were very helpful with suggestions for our two trips we took this year. Much thought was put into the services/excusions. We have used Jacada for many trips and will continue to have them help plan future ones.
We are finally winding down from our trip, which was absolutely amazing. It exceeded everything I had envisioned and more. We will cherish this experience for the rest of our lives, and we’re already dreaming about where to go next!
The little notes and birthday surprises were such a thoughtful touch and truly made me feel celebrated and loved for my big birthday. Everyone in my family agrees it was the best trip ever and I owe it all to Delfina, Flavia and Berni!
Jacada Travel organized our once in a lifetime bespoke tour of South Korea and Japan. We have travelled extensively to all continents with the exception of Antarctica. I do all the arranging so our trip with Jacada was our first ever organized tour and it was simply the best.
Rachel O’Leary and Gita Widyasari organized an absolutely amazing trip. Every detail was taken care of, the hotels were just fantastic, the guides so knowledgeable and personable and travel between destinations was absolutely seamless. We saw the most incredible cultural and historic sights. Our trip was timed for the Cherry Blossoms and we saw the first of the Cherry Blossoms in Busan, South Korea the peak in Kyoto, Japan and the end of the season at Mt. Fuji.
As every single detail was taken care of we were able to sit back and enjoy every single moment of our trip like no other. I highly recommend Jacada Travel and would give it ten stars if I could. We will soon be booking our next Jacada Adventure. Thank you again to Rachel and Gita for organizing the most spectacular trip.
Our recent trip to Rwanda organized by Jacada was wonderful from start to finish. The itinerary was tailored to our allotted time, interests and price range, arrival and transportation were seamless and the accommodation and food amazing! We are very grateful for all the “behind the scenes” work provided by Jacada to make this one of our best adventures and truly a trip of a lifetime! We would definitely book with them again and would highly recommend them to others.
A perfectly planned trip to celebrate my birthday with my son in Cartagena! Jacada never ceases to amaze me with their attention to detail!
We had several truly personalized and unforgettable experiences that were combined with extraordinary helpful and informative guides.
Kate Hertz and Sabina Munoz were both available all the time and kept track of what we were doing. We had amazing guides in Iceland! The hotels that were booked for us were top-notch with very good food. We will make sure to use Jacada Travel again.
This is our family’s third trip with Jacada over the past several years. They have done a great job learning what we enjoy and how we like to travel, and incorporating that into our itinerary. Our last experience with Jacada was seamless from beginning to end, with excellent guides, activities and recommendations. We were able to focus 100% on enjoying truly memorable experiences because Jacada put in the hard work up front, and executed very well.
Delfina created an itinerary for us that matched our requirements perfectly. The information prior to our trip enabled us to prepare for it and the help and advice from Carlos was excellent. The attention to detail throughout our visit was exemplary. Everything was taken care of and we really did not have to think or worry about a single thing. The whole team ensured that we ha an amazing experience.
Tor and associates heard me and designed the PERFECT Africa trip. The customer service was amazing. All the airport greeters were on time efficient and pleasant. Our drivers were kind and gave us tourists information to and from our destination adding to our experience. Our guides and tracker were top notch. We saw big 5 the first day. Their excitement met ours. The resorts were exactly what I wanted and more. Perfect locations 5 star plus’s. They really listened and knew what we wanted. I worked with three agencies because we booked within 3 weeks. Jacada and staff heard me, knew me and maid my dream vacation a reality. Thank you. Look no further, this is your travel professional. PS I’ve planed all my other trips myself. This made it so much smother. Do it. Alis the can accommodate any price range. Loved it all. Already planing a northern lights trip. Hoping they can help. There on land subcontractors were kind and professional! Our luggage was lost due to our own travel arrangements, and Jacada went above and beyond to locate the luggage, even though it wasn’t part of their itinerary with us.
Well designed trip around what we wanted to do with our kids. Will definitely use Jacada Travel again! James and Rita did an amazing job.
Meg and Rita at Jacada exceeded all our expectations and truly gave us our dream honeymoon, thank you so much! Not only did you tailor our experience to our interests, you also refined our travel arrangements, hotel recommendations, and transfers/guides to meet all our needs. Each day felt like an adventure as we explored new places, ate delicious foods, and learned cultural facts/details, all while making memories that we will cherish. We are so grateful, thank you!!
Our Sri Lanka trip was amazing. We added Sri Lanka to our already planned Maldives vacation and engaged Jacada to design our trip. Rosanna understood our goals and expectations right off the bat. She put together an itinerary that was perfect. We have engaged travel agents prior, and this was by far one of our best experiences. She is absolutely lovely, easy to communicate with, a fabulous travel designer and a true professional. Our trip was perfect! We especially enjoyed our food tour guide in Columbo, our adventures and stay at Wild Coast Tented Lodge and the choice of luxury boutique hotels we stayed at. We are spoiled and very well-travelled and this review is very well deserved. We will definitely book with Jacada and Rosanna for all our future travels.
Our experience was top notch from start to finish!! The travel, camps, food, excursions, guides, accommodations, and hosts all deserve 5 stars. All of our exceptions of the trip were blown out of the water. We not only loved seeing Namibia, but we learned so much along the way. Our guides at every camp were truly ambassadors for their country and the region. We received personalized care and our experiences were perfectly curated. My family was so impressed and we are already planning our next adventure with Jacada.
We used jacada to plan our Southern Africa and they truly went over and above our expectations. We planned and the trip about 7 months ahead of time and were immediately impressed with the professionalism and the comprehensive itinerary put together. At one point, one of the properties we wished to stay at was sold out on the original planned dates, but within hours our travel expert, Jacob, had a newly crafted itinerary to accommodate new dates at that property. If we had any questions, Jacob would answer via email within a day, despite a 5 hour time difference. Even though we never met Jacob in person, it felt like we had numerous in person meetings given the detail and precision with which things were planned. I also have to commend our concierge coordinator, Angela. She was able to secure exclusive reservations at top restaurants and provided in depth details about our day to day activities. Once we actually arrived at our destination, we could completely shut our minds off and enjoy because every single second of the trip was taken care of. At every airport we had someone there to receive us immediately off the plane and assist with baggage, transfers, etc. The guides on excursions were all top class. We also had an “on grounds” crew available via WhatsApp who would be in contact with us everyday and provide the important, specific details for that day.
I cannot commend Jacada enough. I would 100% use their services again and would recommend to any of my friends and family.
Truly well thought out and personalized experience. Maximized appreciation of culture, excellent food choices and fantastic tours. Really well organized and made the trip so
Memorable. Also provided excellent troubleshooting and hands on experience. Top notch overall experience on all levels.
Outstanding trip! We will be repeat customers!
Communication with Jacada hit the right cadence and persisted before, during and after the trip. The team was great, supportive and very responsive and helped planned an itinerary with the perfect events for our family.
Jacada helped us plan the most amazing and seamless honeymoon around Indonesia. I have never used a travel agent before and am usually extremely Type A when it comes to planning my own vacations but I am so thankful I let them take over the planning and scheduling so I actually got to relax on my own vacation. I was kind of nervous about this trip because my husband has never been to Asia before and this was going to be outside of his comfort zone, but Jacada really made sure we were taken care of from the beginning. The guide and drivers we had during our trip were fantastic and everything that was planned was unbelievably thoughtful and organized perfectly. I am so grateful to Charlie and the Jacada team, they made this the most amazing trip ever and I would recommend them to absolutely everyone.
Jacada was wonderful to work with. They took all the heavy lifting of planning our trip, picking the right hotels, finding tour guides, transfers/rides, etc. They made our first family trip to Europe very memorable.
Words fall short as I try to express my sincerest gratitude and appreciation for all that Melania and Symmone did to plan the honeymoon of our dreams for us in Greece. They really have such a gift for listening to their clients and finding the best hotels, restaurants, tours, and activities that best match their interests! Our trip to Greece was genuinely the time of our lives and we owe SO much of that to the immaculate planning and thoughtfulness of Melania and Symmone. I cannot wait to plan another trip with them!!
Everyone was so helpful, knowledgeable and professional. They listened to our requests and put together a near perfect trip. All of our guides and drivers were top notch as well.
Such a well planned trip, down to the smallest of details. Jacada did such a great job helping to plan the trip and then making sure everything went smoothly along the way.
Appreciated what felt like wonderful personal care. Meg was an incredibly professional and thorough travel consultant. What she put together for us was perfect in every way. All of our private tour guides were amazing, knowledgeable and kind. The hotels were also amazing. Ana, our tour concierge was fantastic looking after out every need.
Our Tanzania Safari was the second trip through Jacada. Jacada continued to live up to our expectations of personalized experience and attention to detail. Our travel designer (Jamey) and travel concierge (Betty) worked tirelessly to ensure that we had the travel experience we wanted. They took our feedback and made adjustments to the trip. During the trip, we had great communication during the transfers, and never once had a time that we felt we were in the dark over upcoming transfers or travel plans. The trip itself was magical. Personal guides throughout each of our safari experience. In particular Wilderness Usawa was everything we wanted. From romantic private delicious dinners to comfortable and luxurious accommodations (in the middle of the Serengeti!), we had an amazing 4 days stay. We are looking forward to planning our next trip with Jacada (seriously, we are actually planning our next trip with Jacada)
An incredible one-in-a-lifetime experience!! Thank you Jacada Travel for putting together the best trip ever!!
Jacada was helpful and responsive every step of the process. Jamey Lowis designed our amazing trip to Tanzania. He spent time figuring out what my family was interested in and created the best itinerary. Our Serengeti safari was fabulous. We stayed at the Olakira migration camp, where everyone was wonderful. Our guide, Daniel, was top notch and went out of his way to make sure our game drives were spectacular. We saw lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, buffalo, zebras, giraffes, hippos, wildebeests, and a host of other animals. The Olakira team was super accommodating and the food was great. The Manor at Ngorongoro Crater was also wonderful. It was a beautiful lodge with luxury accommodations and amazing food! Altus, the manager, and his team were very inviting and helpful. Overall, Jacada made sure that every detail was taken care of—once we landed in Tanzania, we didn’t have to worry about anything. I would definitely recommend Jacada to family and friends!
Hello. The connection made with our tour representative (Meg Simpson) was established very quickly and I felt comfortable and trusted her advice and her manner of representing her company. She quickly helped me get some great ideas for our trip and put together an itinerary that we were able to fine tune, make some adjustments and move forward. She kept us informed on a timely basis and was so very kind and helpful. Our consiege Ana White Vilardell was equally as proficient, knowledgeable and kind.
These two made our trip memorable with greetings at each of our hotels and all their expertise with every part of our adventure!
We had a family trip to Brazil with Jacada Travel and what a wonderful time we had. Our travel designer Delfina put together an exciting itinerary that was suited to our needs and travel concierge Flavia worked with us booking travels in Brazil.
We met with local guides in each place we visited. Their expertise, enthusiasm and passion for each city truly made our experience unforgettable. I felt safe and relaxed in a foreign country, able to enjoy the joy of travel while they take care of the logistics. Private transport was comfortable and drivers very professional.
Jacada delivered a fully customized Japan vacation for my wife and I that was outstanding in every respect. The itinerary was developed in close coordination with our specific interests and needs. On the ground support for guides, transfers and restaurant reservations was top notch.
We can’t wait to begin planning our next trip with Jacada!
We had an amazing time and experience that was truly above and beyond what we could’ve planned or imagined. Everyone was so professional and warm and the schedule was so well organized and planned for every detail which eliminated any stress on our part. This was truly unforgettable. I loved the special excursions especially our enchanting lunch with the chef on our drive down to Dubrovnik and our visit to the abandoned village in hvar where we met the family who runs the small restaurant. Absolutely gorgeous. So many unique experiences that we will never forget. I don’t think we will be able to travel without your team again, haha.
