SA Expeditions - San Francisco, California

Sara Hobson

Words cannot express the deep gratitude we have towards SA Expeditions. From the moment we started working with Chelsey—adjusting and rearranging our plans—they made sure everything was tailored to give us the perfect trip. Thank you for always answering our questions and responding in a timely manner.
It’s the little touches. Our van driver, Roberto , claimed he didn’t speak much English, but he knew enough to laugh at our silly jokes. Always on time, his van was spotless and stocked with water and chocolates—yum! After our long hikes, he was a sight for sore eyes. The seamless transitions between hotels, buses, trains, and tours made this the smoothest travel experience we’ve ever had.
Our mountain porter, Benedicto, greeted us with a warm smile and beautifully arranged, delicious lunches. We were always so excited to see him! Though he didn’t speak much English, his shy smile lit up our day as we cheered his name in excitement for our meals.
Then there’s our guide , Everette, who was with us every step of the way —where do we begin? His knowledge of his beloved country was endless. We peppered him with questions all week, and he seemed to know it all. His sense of humor kept us entertained as he mixed fun with facts about Peru. Spending so much time with a guide can be intense, but with him, it was the perfect balance of education and enjoyment. We truly had the best time.
Our accommodations were top-notch, and the included meals were amazing. Every hotel went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. At our final hotel, the hot water bottles placed in our bed each night were such a welcomed touch after a long day of exploring.
Peru, we didn’t know what to expect from you, but you exceeded every expectation. The people, the beauty, the hospitality, and yes, the shopping—all more than we could have hoped for.
So there it is—I’ve tried my best to express how our hearts are overflowing with gratitude, joy, and awe after visiting Peru. We’ve traveled to many countries, but this experience stands high on our list of unforgettable places.Thank you Sa Expeditions for making this all possible. We will definitely use this company again!

We just came back from the most amazing trip to Peru that was as perfect as a vacation can get. Jackie Becker designed the trip of a lifetime, and it couldn't have gone smoother. The hotels were all wonderful, locations ideal, restaurant recommendations were excellent, and the tour guides and drivers were exceptional. Peru is a super friendly, safe, awe inspiring, magical country. The sights are extraordinary, the food delicious and the people gracious. I can't say enough good things about SA Expedition. Will definitely be back to plan our next adventure.

This was an AMAZING, once in a life time trip. In Quito, we had Sebastian Jurado, as our tour guide, and he was incredible. Can't say enough about him. Sebastian ROCKS!!!. The Galapagos Cruise on the Legend Ship was fantastic. The crew was very friendly and attentive to all our needs. The food was great!! The Naturalist Guides were incredibly knowledgeable about the marine and land animal life. If you plan to do a trip like this, I would suggest using SA Expeditions. They were incredible in putting a custom package together for us. This company is extremely knowledgable in Custom Tour Packages in this area. Thanks for everything SA Expeditions. We had a BLAST on this trip.

We started planning this trip in February, and went in August. We worked with Julia who helped us create the perfect vacation of adventure that we wanted! We changed our itinerary about 10 times to create what only could be described as magical. All our personal guides were amazing and we highly recommend SA expeditions for planning a trip to Peru

Just came back from our Peru Amazon Trip couple days ago. I just have to say how thankful we are to have chosen this destination and to have chosen a private tour with SA for my family of 5. Our 3 kids were so intrigued by the history, landscape and the wild animals at the Amazon. We have been traveling independently most of our lives, but for a destination with highlights so far apart, I think a private tour is definitely the way to go. It just makes our days so much more efficient and effortless.

My husband and I used SA Expeditions to book our honeymoon trip to Greece. It was a bucket list trip for us and the itinerary Jackie put together for us delivered! The entire trip went so smoothly, from airport transfers to hotel check-ins and meeting up with our guides for private tours. Jackie was very responsive to email communication, and I appreciated her setting up phone calls both before and after the trip to go over tips and questions, feedback, etc. I didn't need to use it, but I felt very comfortable during our trip knowing SA has a 24-hour telephone line available for any issues. I would definitely recommend SA for booking travel, and we will use them again in the future!

SA Expeditions organized a seamless trip for me to patagonia and the W trek. It went off without a hitch. My coordinator, Mikey, was very knowledgeable and so patient with all my questions and concerns about traveling.
I would highly recommend this company to help plan your South America vacation!!

We had the most amazing honeymoon adventure booked through SA Expeditions! We were in the thick of planning a wedding but knew we wanted to go on an adventure for our honeymoon so South-America was our destination and SA expedition made it happen.

Adam was our agent and he did an amazing job at listening to what we wanted, stayed within our budget but made sure we had some amazing extras a long the way.

They made the whole process so smooth, from booking and planning to execution of the trip, everything was taken care of and we just got to enjoy time together and the amazing experiences.

We highly recommend anyone looking to book a hassle free trip to South-America through them!
