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.

Patagonia & Iguazu Falls Trip We recently took a trip to Patagonia & nearby towns, Iguazu Fall and Brazil and were very impressed with SA Vacations and Martha who put together the itinerary for us. Since the trip was over 3 weeks long with numerous international and internal flights and hotel stays and tours, we were concerned at first but Martha did an excellent job in organizing the trip. We were met by courteous and professional guides at various airports who drove us to our hotels and picked us up for excellent tours. Everything was executed flawlessly and we were very impressed with Martha and the company. Since this was the first time we used SA Vacations, we had lot of questions for Martha and she answered them patiently and thoroughly. We also had to make changes during the planning stage and she was able to modify the trip to fit our needs promptly, thanks to their extensive knowledge and experience on South America. SA vacations and Martha have far exceeded our expectation and we’ll definitely use the company again for our next trip to Galapagos and Amazon. We highly recommend this company!

Three chances at the perfect trip With the assistance of South American Vacations, I planned a special trip to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu with my son for his senior year in high school. Unfortunately, the trip was planned for March 2020, just as the world closed down for the Covid pandemic. Alan and Martha were unbelievably helpful. They got us refunds for what was refundable and got us credits for what was not. Two years later, in the spring of 2022, they graciously rebooked the Machu Picchu portion for us, but we had decided to abandon the idea of post-pandemic cruising. They found a way for my daughter and a friend to use our credit to visit the Galapagos islands. Once again, for the Spring of 2023, they rose to the occasion and planned the perfect trip for them. In all, they planned THREE vacations for us, and never asked for an extra dime. I cannot thank them enough. What grace, generosity of spirit and ingenuity! I cannot recommend them strongly enough!!

Excellent South American Adventure The trip SA vacations planned for us was fantastic. They helped us plan a 2 week trip to Chile, Argentina and Patagonia. They were great to work with and reworked our itinerary multiple times. Every step of the way we had great tours and our transportation companies were always on time. It was a fabulous trip and anytime we were worried or concerned about our plans, they were always easy to reach.

Panama Rainforest On short notice, South America Tours setup a pre-cruise trip for March 1-4, 2023 in/near the Panama rainforest near Panama City, Panama. Our Norwegian cruise departed Colon, Panama on March 4. South American Tours worked with Panama Trails who picked us up at the airport gate where we received priority exit thru customs which was extremely nice and took us to our rainforest hotel and checked-in without a hitch. Panama Trails drivers picked us up each day on-time and took us to our tour each of the next two days. We toured the canal on the lake one day and using a long-canoe style boat we visited the Embera Quera tribe in the rainforest. We made arrangements and were transported to the cruise ship docks in Colon. We had a great Panama experience. We have previously used South American Vacations to coordinate our 10-day Galapagos trip and 3-week Peru trip in 2018, and highly recommend them and we will continue to use them as we recommend them to our friends and other travelers.
