Everything went smoothly including all… Everything went smoothly including all intra-country flights. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and interesting. Liz was with every step of the way. Combining a galapagos and machu picchu did require some logistics, and which to do first. The weather suggested a galapagos first and peru second which proved to be correct choice. Liz directed us to this itinerary.

The most memorable trip We had the most memorable time on our trip to South Africa with Vaya and felt completely safe and taken care of the entire time! Our two hotels were absolutely incredible! Heather was great and knew exactly what we wanted – it was like she had known us for years. The food and experience is what we would have picked for ourselves the whole time. Our hotels were magnificent and we really enjoyed how the whole trip was structured.

We love Vaya Adventures We love Vaya Adventures. Gabrielle Venturi has treated us like family and taken superb care of us for almost 10 years. She'll be putting up with us again as we take another expedition cruise with Aurora next year. She's a gem!!!! On our trip to the Arctic Circle in August, our fellow passengers were delightful, and we seemed to all share common interests and a real desire to experience this new and interesting wonderland. The trip provided us with a whole new appreciation for the lives of the Inuits who live in the region. We were very fortunate to have two Inuits on board to share their thoughts and experiences of growing up in the remote villages of the Arctic. We can’t thank Gabrielle and Vaya enough for recommending this cruise with Aurora Expeditions. Even under some challenging weather conditions the expedition team made the journey exciting and fulfilling. Can’t wait for our next trip in April.

We had an excellent trip to Patagonia-… We had an excellent trip to Patagonia- both Chile and Argentina.Marci listened carefully to what we said we were interested in and put together a trip that was very responsive to our wishes. When it started to exceed our budget, she worked with us to find ways to cut costs while still ensuring we included our main priorities. Everything worked like a charm. We had a fabulous time!
