Our Travel agency has recently used South American Vacations Our Travel agency has recently used South American Vacations 3 times for our clients who have wanted a dream vacation. Each trip was different and seemed complicated to put together but Alan and Martha had no problem designing a perfect itinerary. Flights, hotels, tours, transfers and guides were all perfectly planned. Each client raved about their trip. I would definitely recommend this company if you are looking for repeat clients!! It's a win win!! Joni Cohen ECCS/LCS

Argentina 11 day tour We booked the Argentina-Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Bariloche in 11 days vacation. Everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful time. All of the guides and airport transfers were on time and friendly. Many of the guides gave helpful travel information for the areas we were visiting, I.e. where to shop, where to eat, where we could exchange money. Alan and Martha Cohen had all of the details planned perfectly so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy our lovely vacation. We definitely recommend this company.

Bad 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

Bucket 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.

We had a wonderful trip to Ecuador… We had a wonderful trip to Ecuador organized by Alan and Martha Cohen, SA Vacations. The local recommendations for Quito hotel (Patio Andaluz) and Amazon experiences at the Sacha Lodge and the Amazon Manatee explorer cruise were perfect for our group of 8, ages 27 to 87. The team of greeters and guides in Quito were perfect. Every connection was easy and clear. We asked to adjust our Quito day to include the botanical garden and they didn't miss a beat setting it up. They also helped us with restaurants and taxis for our free. Every connection was eased with clear guidance and help. We are very grateful to Alan and Martha and will certainly reach out to them for any future trips to South America.
