GBSeamless We had a well curated trip to include the sites and activities we wanted to see in the Galápagos Islands and in Peru, including Machu Picchu. We were provided with a trip itinerary in advance that provided all the details we needed. The hotels selected were all very nice and convenient to our itinerary. The experience was very personalized and we were given a single guide with driver at each country location. The guides were very knowledgeable about a long list of subject matter, were easy to understand even though English was their second language, and were able to answer all our questions. We felt secure and comfortable throughout our two weeks trip. We were picked up promptly at the set times and escorted along our journey to make sure we got from place to place seamlessly! Destination locations of a lifetime and a wonderful travel experience!

GBGreat trip to South America This was our first trip to South America and it was fantastic. Worked with Shawna Sanders to come up with a nice 13-day itinerary - Torres del Paine, El Calafate, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janiero. Chelsey Rickert took over a couple of months before our trip. We went over the trip in detail a month beforehand. We were going to join the tour in Punta Arenas from our Antarctica cruise. Due to bad weather our flight from Antarctica to Punta Arenas was delayed two days. I called SA and told them the situation. Chelsey and the SA Expedition staff quickly came up with the best solution to get us back on the tour. They arranged a private shuttle to pick us up and take us to Torres del Paine, a 5-hour ride, arriving in that afternoon. Talk about service ! We even had time the next morning to enjoy horseback riding before heading off to El Calafate. Definitely will return to Torres del Paine to fully enjoy the awesome hikes and glaciers. In each city we were met by personable and knowledgeable guides and good drivers. The hotels were nice and enjoyed delicious South American food. SA made our trip so enjoyable and memorable.

GBOur trip ran like a well-oiled machine Our trip ran like a well-oiled machine. Everyone in on time, prepared, and sooooo informative. "Cruise" on the Galapagos Legend too child-heavy, chaotic, but not your fault. All drivers, guides, and airport transfer personnel were exceptional.

GBJust returned from a fabulous trip to…Galapagos and Machu Picchu Just returned from a fabulous trip to the Galapagos and Peru's Sacred Valley including Machu Picchu. After knowing what our group was interested in for the trip, Flor Bojorquez worked with us. She developed the trip just like we wanted! All travel logistics went smoothly, Our guides in Ecuador and Peru were friendly and very knowledgeable. We felt very well taken care of the entire trip. All hotels were lovely, clean and included friendly staff. Our four nights on the Galapagos Coral were so fun. The crew insured our safety on the boat, the Panga boats, on land and in the water. Shout out to Jorge ( Ecuador) and Marco ( Peru )! The van we traveled in was clean and comfortable. The driver was always ready to take us to the next destination. The company supplied plenty of bottled water, stopped for money exchange and any bathroom break we needed. The trip logistics included plane, ferry, train and boat rides. SA Expeditions had all required material for a smooth trip! The assistance at each airport was most welcome! Would not hesitate to plan another trip with SA Expeditions!
