Jacada Travel

Jacada Travel was created Alex Malcolm in 2008, in hopes of giving people the chance to travel more authentically. He came to this realization after living abroad in Brazil, and realized he was only able to experience the country from a local’s perspective because of his local friends. By traveling in a genuine yet upscale manner, the travel experience is elevated - making a trip go from memorable to unforgettable.

What Makes Jacada Travel Stand Out?

• Your own concierge and travel designer
• Build your own itinerary 

Jacada Travel puts you in touch with a concierge and a travel designer (aka tour guide) from the minute you book. They have local expertise in each destination and offices on four continents, meaning there will always be someone to pick up your call regardless of what time zone you are in.

Their travel designers are highly personable, provide top notch quality service, and have lived in their area of specialty for years. Don’t be surprised if they seem to know everyone during your trip, or meet you in the middle of the night when your plane lands.

Build custom itineraries and tell the travel designers about your travel style, what peaks your interest, special requests, and they’ll create a trip that’s just right for you. So whether you want to try horse riding for the first time as a senior, or find something enjoyable for your toddler, they’ll make it happen!

You have the final say in the itineraries and every part of the process. You’re welcome to do as much or as little as you’d like every day.

Who Will Enjoy Traveling With Jacada Travel?

• All ages
• Luxury travelers willing to splurge
• All interests

Jacada Travel is a luxury, high-end tour operator, offering you only the very best of every destination. These tours are made for those with a higher budget range and willing to splurge. You’ll love traveling with them if you’re the type who only wants to worry about two things: what to pack, and getting on your flight. 

These private tours are suitable for solo travelers and groups alike. Whether you’re a couple, a family traveling with grandparents or kids, or a small group, everyone is welcome with Jacada Travel.

They’re also LGBT friendly, and your travel designer keeps this in mind while creating your itinerary. All destinations are safe for LGBT people to travel to, although some countries are more relaxed than others.

They cater to a range of interests such as nature, cultural immersion, adventure, culinary and wine, history, sightseeing and landmarks. You can also customize these trips to match how active you’d like to be - go heli skiing down untouched slopes in Iceland, or leisurely stroll through the vineyards of the beautiful countryside in South Africa. Pick and choose what interests you and skip what doesn’t, because your time is the most valuable.

Top Destinations

• South America
• Popular sites and off-the-beaten-path

While offering trips around the world in all 7 continents, they are heavily focused on South America. They’re typically focused on showing you the popular sites - but once again, you get the final say in what you’d prefer!

Destinations vary widely from historic and popular cities, to countrysides, parks, coastlines, and mountains. Maybe one day you’d like to explore all the main attractions of Hanoi, and spend the next discovering hidden and unreachable caves of Ha Long Bay on a tour to Vietnam.
