Fantastic South America Vacation Fantastic experience for my entire family! The guides were great and the lodging greatly exceeded my expectations. All of the accommodations were excellent, but a special shout-out to El Mapi! All guides were great. German Cruz in Peru was particularly helpful and insightful. Gretchen was impeccable in making sure we had everything we needed. My daughter cannot eat gluten, and she was extremely helpful in making sure that we would not have any problems.

Marci was great Marci was great! We wouldn't hesitate to use her again. We had an issue with our flights, and she was available at night and on the weekends to help smooth things out. All the guides were very well educated about their communities and country. Their knowledge of the history of Peru and Inca ruins was very enjoyable. All the guides were very accommodating with any request. Both of our hikes were spectacular. The day trip to Machu Picchu and the two day hike to Rainbow Mountain were challenging but experiences that will remain with us forever.

Trip was wonderful Trip was wonderful. The hotels chosen for us were perfect as were the guides and sights we visited. We felt that we got a really good feel for the country and its history while meeting interesting people and having wonderful tours and food! Gabrielle Venturi: I think she is fabulous. Extremely helpful during the planning and attentive to details which I loved. Will absolutely continue to book trips via Gabrielle! Love the phone call predeparture that helped answer final questions.

Vaya is the best From our first contact to their thoughtful follow up, Vaya could not have done more to make our bucket list trip better. I would especially recommend Liz G as the go to person for planning and honing in on our specific interests. The tour guides were knowledgable and we always felt safe and well cared for throughout our trip. The accommodations were excellent and geared to our requirements. We would not hesitate to recommend Vaya.
