Testimonials
Using Jacada was so helpful! Everything was planned and arranged ahead of time. We had someone guiding us from the moment we got off our plane to getting back on at the end of our trip. We would receive texts from our local contact each day reminding us of what was planned the following day, which allowed us to enjoy each day and not have to worry about planning or schedules and just enjoy ourselves and if we needed anything else, they were there to assist. It can be intimidating traveling to a new country, but with Jacada you're not alone and have someone with you every step of the way!
We had the best time in Frace. Louisa was amazing and found the perfect trip for us. We are foodies and wanted the perfect things to do in a limited amount of time. We needed away time, luxury and privacy, she couldn’t have picked better places, we know that because it was fabulous, and several locals looked at our itinerary, and said it looked like a local had done it, other words she knew all of the top places now, and that is invaluable
Keith and Rahma planned a wonderful honeymoon to Japan and Bali for my husband and I. They were able to create a unique experience that was gay friendly and safe. We loved most of the hotels. We stayed in and had an amazing time exploring these cultures. I would say your value in Jacada is their connections to guides and local travel agencies. Our highlights of the trip were the tour guides and the stories they told as well as the restaurant recommendations by the hotels we stayed in.
We are using Jacada again for other trips and I encourage you to give them a chance
What a fabulous trip to Morocco! We enjoyed every moment as we moved from adventure to luxury - and with the ease of every detail being covered. As a family travelling with our 2 adult daughters, we loved the cultural submersion and knowledge of our guides as much as the carefully selected and stunning accommodations. It was reassuring to know that everything was safe, organized and connected to such beautiful people. A huge thank you to Rosie, Sabrina and the Jacada Team! We will be in touch again soon about our next travel adventure!
We recently returned from our dream honeymoon, planned by Jacada Travel, and we can't stop reliving every magical moment. From Bangkok and Chiang Mai to Koh Samui and Siem Reap, every stop was thoughtfully curated and executed to perfection.
Our travel designer, Georgina, created a seamless, personalized itinerary that reflected exactly what we wanted — a mix of cultural exploration, relaxation, and adventure. Each destination offered something unique, and the boutique hotels we stayed at were absolutely stunning — intimate, luxurious, and full of character. It felt like each place was chosen just for us.
We had activities every day, but it never felt rushed. Having private drivers and knowledgeable local guides made a world of difference. We got to experience so much more than we would have on our own, with the ease and comfort of not having to worry about any logistics.
A special thank you to Jessica, our Concierge, who was always available and proactive, checking in with us throughout the trip and making sure everything was running smoothly. Her attention to detail and thoughtful touches made us feel truly taken care of.
Jacada gave us more than a honeymoon — they gave us a once-in-a-lifetime experience that we will treasure forever. If you’re considering a luxury trip that’s both authentic and stress-free, look no further.
Expert planning and very good suggestions for dining and exploring. Everyone was very helpful, especially the guides and drivers and we had a great time. Wish we had longer, but we'll be back!
My partner and I recently returned from a fabulous 4-week holiday in Sri Lanka organised by David and Cathy at Jacada.
They really listened to the kind of holiday that we wanted to have - the places and areas that we wanted to visit, the style of accommodation that we were after, the types of activities that we would enjoy, and the pace at which we wanted it to go – and created an itinerary that reflected all of this. They also included some additional options that we hadn’t even imagined, but which were right up our alley.
David and Cathy kept in touch regularly through the trip to make sure that everything was going as we were hoping. They were supported wonderfully by Susanna from the local on-the-ground support team as well as our delightful driver, Salinda, for whom nothing was too much trouble.
It was a very memorable adventure that worked smoothly and seamlessly from start to finish. The lack of any hiccups was indicative, we are sure, of a lot of thought, planning and effort behind the scenes to ensure that everything ‘worked’ and that we had such a special time.
When we did encounter the unexpected (when I accidentally broke a bone in one of my feet), they did everything they could through the Jacada ecosystem to both support us and to ensure that we could complete our holiday with minimal interruption and re-organisation.
Many thanks to the four of you and the broader team at Jacada. We very much look forward to exploring other parts of the world with you in the future.
Amazing experience, everything was well coordinated. Hotels were incredible. The on ground team were on point the whole time. Would recommend
We have traveled with Jacada for a view times. And as always, our last trip to Morocco was unforgettable. Arranging us staying at Olinto to relax after a long trip to Sahara was really thoughtful. We also enjoyed the cooking class.
Our guide and driver was excellent. They really took good care of us.
The hotels recommendation was good except the one in Marrakech.
This was our first experience with a luxury travel service and we were not disappointed. Jacada ensured that our Honeymoon to Argentina was unforgettable. They worked with us within our budget to craft the trip we wanted - a perfect blend of luxury and adventure. The logistics, lodging, guides, activities, and recommendations were all top tier, and their trip planners and local partners were professional, amicable, and a pleasure to work with. If you have the means, you will not be disappointed with Jacada.
Jacada did a wonderful job from start to finish with our trip. We worked with Jack and Grace to plan a trip to Egypt this past spring. They planned an itinerary that was tailored to our interests and managed to hit all the major attractions. Our coordinators and guides in the country were a highlight of the trip. Our coordinators ensured everything was super easy for us and ran smoothly. We didn’t have to worry about the logistics of travel at all! Our guides for each city - Cairo, Luxor, and Aswan - were a wealth of knowledge and brought unique and fun personalities that added to our experience. We felt safe and well taken care of the entire trip. This trip was a jump outside our normal travel and it was well worth it!
Jack at Jacada planned an unbelievable trip! Along with the coordination with Grace our trip concierge they created a unique experience for us. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Marrakech with special fast track treatment, to our drive through the desert. Everything was thoughtfully crafted and coordinated. Our accommodation's and experiences were vast, memorable and beautiful. Our driver was caring and such a special human we always felt safe and comfortable. Our guides were thoughtful and well spoken. All and all a beautiful trip that I will always treasure. I would highly recommend using Jacada Travel.
Jacada is the best travel partner to have. They create personalized trips and take care of you before and during the trip. I can rest assured any hiccups, if any, will be immediately taken care of.
From planning our Morocco trip and through the entire holiday, Jacada provided excellent service. The staff not only planned an amazing experience, but they were always quick to answer my questions and helped us address issues due to a cancelled flight on the spot. They make everything easy, and their tour guides and drivers were all wonderful. Thanks for helping provide us with a trip of a lifetime!
We enjoyed a very smoothly planned trip to Vietnam, with just the right balance between culture, food, nature and relaxing and can absolutely recommend Jacada's services: competent, friendly and always available !
Our trip to Thailand and Indonesia was beyond our expectations. We saw temples, had a private cooking lesson from local grandmas, experienced intimate moments with rescued elephants, walked across the bridge at the River Kwai, rode a Vespa through the countryside of Chang Mai, looked out over the Golden Triangle, snorkeled with sea turtles and giant manta rays, walked among Komodo dragons, and so much more. The quality of a travel agency to listen to what you want from your custom designed vacation is very important. Jacada Travel does exactly that. We’ve had two vacations planned through Jacada, South Africa and Thailand and Indonesia, and both vacations have left us with unforgettable memories from the experiences Jacada made possible for us. If you are looking for a travel agency that listens to what you want, what you hope to see, and the experiences you dream of having on your vacation, Jacada Travel is the company you should choose. We’re already talking with Jacada Travel about planning our next big trip. Thank you Jacada for giving us a lifetime of memories from our vacations!!
Jess helped us plan an amazing trip to South Africa. This was our third time on the continent, first time in South Africa. Our previous 2 trips were all Safari, but for this trip we had less time and wanted a more relaxing, mixed trip. We started in Capetown and stayed at the Mount Nelson at Jess' recommendation. It was an amazing hotel on a stunning property with so much charm and incredible staff. Next step was Franschoek which was a beautiful little town in the middle of the Winelands. We explored some of the local wineries and had the best dinner of our lives a La Petite Colombe, a MUST if you are nearby. We ended our trip at Phinda private game reserve in Southeast South Africa. It was a beautiful game reserve where we had excellent wildlife sightings. The safari was laid back and relaxing, the camp and staff at Phinda Vlei Lodge were incredible. Jacada, and Jess in particular were always available when we had questions and when our flight got cancelled and we had to make urgent travel adjustments. We had guides/ transports every step of the way and didn't have to do ANYTHING on our own, unless we wanted to. Jess was extremely kind and flexible. She offered incredible recommendations and everything was spot on. She has impressive knowledge of South Africa having grown up there and been a guide herself. If you are planning an African vacation, Jess is your gal! I would 100% recommend Jacada to help plan any vacation and will be using them for our next international vacation, wherever it may be!
Jack and Grace and Dar Ahlam
Em and her team did a great job planning and executing our trip. Everything was taken care of even the unexpected strike. We felt supported and taken care of the entire time. Having Jacada take care of everything allowed us to focus on enjoying our trip instead of planning and coordinating everything pick up and activity. I would very much recommend Em and her team.
Meg was amazing! When we started planning our trip, she listened to everything we said and then implemented all our wishes. Our itinerary was full but not packed. The cities she recommended gave us a wonderful overview of beautiful Spain. The type of hotels she chose for us were perfect, small and luxurious with knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating staff.
Ana is incredible. All our excursions, tour guides, drivers and restaurants were wonderful. Everyone was on time and very professional. The guides were especially knowledgeable and very nice to be with.
Meg and Ana couldn’t have planned or executed a more perfect trip for us. We can’t wait to plan our next adventure with Meg.
Would recommend 1000%... from the moment we began the planning until we got on the final flight home, we were so well taken care of. This was the adventure of a lifetime, and Jacada made sure that it was above and beyond what we pictured. The planners were great at communicating and making sure the trip was what we were hoping for. Every staff member we encountered at the places we stayed was so kind & warm & helpful. So grateful that we came across Jacada and were able to work with them to make this trip happen!
We booked a trip to Asia with Jacada and the quality of service was fantastic. The local guides they had for us in each city went above and beyond and that made all the difference.
Amazing experience, had an amazing local guide that made us feel like family. Many unique experiences that were off the beaten path. This is the second time we have used this company and both have been outstanding.
Jacada's team organised and created the most thoughtful and inspiring trip for me, taking into account my personal requirements and requests. Truly unforgettable and everything was organised just perfectly!
We had a great experience working with Jack. He was quick to respond and the planning process for smooth. He was very knowledgeable about Oman and a plus was that he was in Oman just a few weeks before we went on our trip! The hotels, transfers, tours were top notch.
We would highly recommend Oman as a tourist destination and would have Jack and the team plan our/ our family and friends next trip without any hesitation.
We had such a memorable trip. Everything went like clockwork. The hotels were perfect in every way. All of the transportation was precisely on time, even in remote locations. The food great. The places we went to were fantastic. But, most important, all of the team members who cared for us along the way, from the venue staff, to the drivers to the guides were all interested, interesting, knowledgeable, fun, patient and excited to help us learn about their culture and their countries. It was truly a cultural exchange for us in every way. We enjoyed every minute.
We recently had Jacada book a family (parents & college aged boys) trip to Belize, and it was fabulous! Jacada worked with us on the planning to know exactly what our family wanted. The hotels they booked were amazing and all the excursions were perfect. And everything in Belize went so smoothly!! Everyone on the ground (hotel staff, tour guides) knew exactly where we needed to be and when. I normally plan trips on my own, but I am so glad I used Jacada for this trip. It was so stress free. And Belize is wonderful... great people, Mayan culture & history, and natural beauty. I highly recommend you spend time both in the Mountain Pine Ridge area and the beach.
Brilliant travel agent!
Very much creating a unique and personalized experience for what it is we wanted to see and experience.
Plenty of options to pick and choose from, as well as great guides and organization on location. Fab experience!
Our Travel Experience with Jacada was first rate. We worked with them on planning the itinerary for our 3 week India trip, and the service both with the planning team and the travel coordinators on the ground was absolutely amazing. We saw and experiences things that I'm sure we never would have seen on our own, and our guide, Jay, was knowledgeable and fun and added immensely to our trip.
Communication and organization were excellent. The Jacada team was helpful and genuinely interested in our experience. The guides were personable, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoy their work. Vehicles were spotless, timely, and coordinators managed our every need brilliantly. I will recommend Jacada to friends and family. The only way to travel!
My husband I recently returned from a fantastic 10 day trip to Costa Rica. We were really looking forward to the trip, and it did not disappoint! All the recommended accommodations were absolutely top notch, and we had professional, friendly, knowledgeable tour guides for each activity. The English-speaking drivers were always on time and drove carefully while providing interesting commentary on the countryside. We had several phone calls with our Jacada trip designer well in advance of the trip, to discuss our interests, the specific activities we were not interested in, and to ask questions. Our trip designer was very pleasant, easy to work with, and listened well. She made superb recommendations of places to visit and specific tours available in those areas. Once our trip was booked, our Jacada Latin America concierge was in touch by email with restaurant suggestions, to answer any questions, and to provide tips about traveling in Latin America. Upon landing in Costa Rica, we had a welcome message from our Jacada in-country concierge who was always available via WhatsApp. The trip was well-organized and had sufficient “down time” in the schedule for us to relax and enjoy the accommodations. We felt very well-supported during our visit. We are considering where to go next, and look forward to working with Jacada again for our next trip.
Thank you to Rita Pinto and James Wakelin for their fantastic customer service and for creating a trip for my clients that was a trip of a lifetime. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and I highly recommend them when traveling to utilize their expertise. I will always go to Jacada for all my client's travel needs!
Working with Rosie and Grace at Jacada on our girlfriend’s trip to Morocco was so easy and enjoyable. They both were so great in helping us think through the itinerary for the trip, making adjustments, and even helping out on a few things during the trip that needed addressing. They were always ready to jump on the phone leading up to the trip too. This is my second trip with Jacada and I think their level of service is terrific. The hotel where we stayed was fantastically beautiful and staff could not have been better (La Villa Des Orangers) and we really enjoyed our guide as well. Will do another trip with them for sure.
My husband and I traveled to Japan from March 16 - April 1, 2025. We went to Tokyo, Hiroshima, Kyoto and Okinawa. Jacada Travel helped us with our itinerary and did an excellent job planning the hotels, site visits and restaurant reservations. They also helped transfer our luggage from Tokyo to Kyoto so we were able to take only small overnight bags with us on the bullet trains to simplify our train travel.
The tour guides and drivers were outstanding and made our visits to temples, shrines and parks so easy and enjoyable. Jacada Travel also provided people who assisted us with our Bullet Train travels in terms of getting us to the train station, getting us on the correct train platform and waiting until our train left the station.
Very professional organization. They planned every minute of our vacation and it was all done with the highest level of service possible. My wife got travel sick one of the days and they went above and beyond to ensure she was ok. I would highly recommend using Jacada if you're looking for a high-end, first class experience. of course you get what you pay for, and this is a premium service.
I loved how we were asked what activities and interests we look forward to on our trips . Knowing this in advance allowed our travel expert to mold our trip around OUR interests.
The welcome notes received when we arrived at a new destination were a nice personal touch as well.
My one concern was that a couple of our guides could have been a bit better in their communication but overall it was a wonderful trip.
Jacada was absolutely amazing! I wanted a trip where I showed up, they take my hand, tell me where to go, and handle everything for me. Jacada delivered on that above and beyond. The amount of work that goes into coordinating a lengthy trip across the world is unreal and they made it happen seamlessly. There was always a person with you, to reach out to, waiting for you, plus a kind note in every hotel room, and a beautifully designed itinerary that takes your family and their needs into consideration. Plus, they communicate incredibly well and have a strong follow up game making you feel supported and cared for through the entire process from your first inquiry to the "How did it go!?" call. We went to Egypt and I would say if you're thinking about it at all, go through Jacada. Literally one of the best vacations I've ever had. Bravo!
This was my first time using a travel agent, I was anxious about putting an important trip into someone else’s hands. I shouldn’t have been at all. From the start, I felt heard and understood. If I thought the budget crept too high, they worked with me to get to a more comfortable place. When I was adamant about staying at a certain hotel, they made sure it happened. Rita and Meg answered all my questions and fulfilled everything I wanted to do. The whole trip was timed and coordinated perfectly, and from the moment I landed in Rome I felt taken care of. A small hiccup where the itinerary didn’t match the pickup time for our first tour, but otherwise everything was perfect. We got upgraded at a few of our hotels and there was special treats and unexpected surprises, that made the trip unforgettable. It was worth every penny, and I will definitely be using Jacada for any luxury travel I do in the future.
The folks at Jacada are real pros. They delivered an amazing trip, which was beyond expectations. My 3 kids (17-19-22 years old) best summed it up after our trip: "best trip ever"! Thank you Jacada.
The planning was excellent, we were supported the entire time by knowledgeable, helpfull people for a stress-free vacation. Accommodation and tours were all first class. Will use Jacada in the future.
Jacada's attention to detail is unmatched. This is our second trip with them and they did not disappoint! We had an ambitious wish list and our travel concierges were able to check every box. They are extremely knowledgeable about each location. They were realistic about how long the trip should be, given our wish list. When we wanted to add a city toward the end of the planning process, they were upfront about the fact that we would need to add time to the length of the trip (rather than just trying to squeeze it in). We listened to their advice (which was correct) and lengthened our trip. They gave us practical advice along the way as to what to pack, made restaurant reservations for us in every city, provided a detailed itinerary and gave us lots of support throughout the planning process and during the actual trip. All of the guides we worked with were fabulous (particularly Roland in the Lofoten Islands and Cornelia in Helsinki). The itinerary was incredibly well thought out, alternating between cities and more remote, nature based locations. We have some challenging food restrictions/limitations and every place we visited had options for us (and most knew in advance about our situation). Jacada tailored the trip to match our specific interests and suggested (and ultimately booked) some great excursions we didn't even know were possible. They are excellent with communication and very responsive - it was always possible to schedule a call if we preferred to speak directly with our travel concierge (rather than communicate via email). Highly HIGHLY recommend - we can't wait to plan our next adventure!
Our trip was well organized and well communicated. Our tour guide, Fernando, in an absolute gem. He expertly navigated us through our trip, educating us about the history and culture of Peru. He was careful to ensure that all of our needs were met, including pivoting our schedule when the unexpected arose to ensure that we made the most of our time in Peru. Freddy, our driver, was incredibly attentive, ensuring that we were safe and well cared for. During our visit to Lima, Miguel hilariously walked us through the city sights. We stayed in luxury hotels that were unforgettable and had the best cuisine. It was a magical experience - one we were grateful we could just experience without much concern knowing that we were in good hands the whole time.
Our recent trip to India, designed by Jacada Travel, was absolutely exceptional! From start to finish, the organization was seamless, exceeding all our expectations. Jacada carefully tailored the itinerary to our interests, providing unique and immersive experiences that allowed us to explore India with ease and comfort.
The accommodations were luxurious and authentic, and every detail—transfers, tours, and experiences—was flawlessly arranged. Their personalized approach and attention to detail truly set them apart, making our journey stress-free and unforgettable.
If you're seeking a travel agency that delivers impeccable service and curated experiences, we highly recommend Jacada Travel. Our adventure in India was a dream come true, thanks to their outstanding planning and execution!
Jacada helped us to achieve our goal of immersing in the unique flora and fauna of Costa Rica. Without their support and expertise, it is very unlikely we would have discovered on our own the amazing accommodations and knowledgeable guides that made our visits to both costal and mountainous rain forests so amazing.
Steve was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and truly a genuinely nice person. He helped make our trip a truly memorable one. Also, trip planning with Jacada was amazing from day one. Everything entirely catered to our needs and requests. Dan and Rita were great at Jacada as well. All recommendations were spot on. This is the 4th time we have used Jacada for trips (the artic, africa, mainland europe) and won't stop since they do an amazing job everytime.
Celebrating my 60th birthday in Kenya was a lifelong dream, and Emily made it absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we started planning, she designed a flawless, first-class itinerary with impeccable attention to detail. Every aspect of the trip—from the luxurious accommodations to the seamless logistics—was thoughtfully curated.
While we initially experienced a small hiccup with her assistant, Emily immediately addressed it and personally ensured that everything ran smoothly. Her hands-on approach and genuine care made all the difference. Even when a last-minute change arose due to government restrictions, she handled it seamlessly, and our journey remained spectacular.
Twelve nights, three stunning camps, and an experience beyond anything I could have imagined—each moment felt special, especially with the thoughtful birthday surprises along the way. Emily’s responsiveness and dedication were exceptional, and it’s no surprise she recently received an award from Condé Nast. It is truly well-deserved!
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, Emily is the person to make it happen.
Jacada from the beginning was responsive and really listened to details of the adventure we were hoping for, and did experience! My husband and I embarked on a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip to Iceland and Norway, curated by Meg and Sabina. We felt supported the whole trip, with real time updates and adjustments if needed. We received 5 star service from all the knowledgeable, professional, and happy tour guides! Excellent hotel choices, excellent food/restaurants, and unique activities (large part, which were private or small groups). I cannot wait to book with them again!
The guides we had in Vietnam and Cambodia were wonderful. They were all knowledgeable and very service oriented.
Well planned and executed.
The only surprises were the new joys and experiences we encountered.
