Jacada planned a birthday trip to S. America including Rio, Iguazu Falls, the Atacama Desert and a cruise on the Amazon. Our travel designer Charles recommended superior properties and went the extra mile to secure favorable pricing for our itinerary. Jacada was supportive through the entire process and the trip went off without a hitch. We travelled with the confidence…
Delfina created an itinerary for us that matched our requirements perfectly. The information prior to our trip enabled us to prepare for it and the help and advice from Carlos was excellent. The attention to detail throughout our visit was exemplary. Everything was taken care of and we really did not have to think or worry about a single thing.…
The Jacada Travel Designer (Delfina Russo) and the assigned Jacada Personal Travel Concierge (Carlos Machado) were exceptional communicators. They were reliable and cared a great deal that I felt listened to and my needs were met before, during and after the trip. I never felt alone while I traveled solo. I never felt rushed or invalidated when I discussed matters…
Our trip was fabulous from start to finish. Our travel designers were detail oriented; our travel progress was seamless. We enjoyed highlights of Argentina and Chile that we would otherwise not have known about, thanks to thoughtful planning. This was not our first Jacada trip nor will it be our last, if we have it our way!
Lizzie and Anabel were amazing to work with. Both are very knowledgeable and were responsive to our wants/needs for the trip.
