About Us

We let you know more about us and the kind of special luxury trips we put together for our guests here at Jacada Travel.

Alex :  Jacada Travel, plan completely private, tailor-made, luxury trips, but with heart and personality.

One of the things I love about what we do, and what we can do for clients here, is push the people slightly out of their comfort zone…so we can give people the confidence to do something a little bit different. So maybe they’ve got lots of comfort in that trip, lots of really nice places to stay, but maybe a little bit of an adventure…and you need to speak to someone who really knows their stuff, who’s been there, lived it and done it. And we can do that for people.

George:  We’ve all lived and worked in the areas we specialise in and we really take pleasure in the little details, the special touches, getting off the radar and maybe finding that special little steak restaurant in Buenos Aires that isn’t in the guide books yet. Things like that make us different.

Byron:  I’m sending you to my home country, I’m sending you to my home continent. I often tell clients – it sounds lame but it’s true – this is where I’d take my family if I am arranging a family trip. That’s how I think about it: if this was my family, would I be happy with this trip? If these were my parents, would I be happy with sending them here?

Tess:  We are creating unforgettable experiences. It sounds a bit corny when you say “trip of a lifetime”, but they really are. You know, we have people that nine times out of ten say “that was the best trip we’ve ever done”.

Alex:  All the way through you have someone looking after you, and that’s something people feedback to us all the time. It’s about how they really feel taken care of, they feel they’re in a pair of safe hands, and that’s so important to people.

Tess:  It’s not a cookie-cutter mould, it really is experiential, tailor-made and we take the time to listen to people. It sounds obvious but we actually really do care. You know, we really want our clients to have the best time possible. It’s important to us.

Alex:  What makes a Jacada trip special are the people that you meet on the trip and the care and the passion that everybody puts into it. From the travel designers, to the guides, the people who are looking after you in the hotel, every step of the way they are passionate about travel, but also about doing a great job. They really know what responsibility they have and that shines through.

Kate :  I think, when you go away and travel, you remember that forever, and it’s great to think that we are creating really special memories for people.

Jacada Travel: Private Guided Luxury Tours Planned by Insiders

jacada travel

Jacada Travel is an upscale London-based luxury tour company specializing in personalized, private-guided luxury travel around the world. Jacada Travel offers itineraries for travelers who seek a high-end insider travel experience with one-on-one service from start to finish.

Jacada's expert "travel designers" have lived in the destinations they work with. They create one-of-a-kind, insider itineraries for clients. No two Jacada itineraries are the same. However, certain company priorities are honored at Jacada Travel:

  • The company says that "time, space, choice, and personalization are the greatest luxuries."
  • All destinations, accommodations, and activities have been road-tested by the Jacada team.
  • Experiences are authentic and heartfelt, not touristy, superficial, or insecure.
  • Time is managed smartly, so travelers make the most of their tour, avoiding downtime and waiting.

How Jacada Travel Is Different From Other Luxury Tour Companies

Jacada Travel's point of difference from similar companies: its travel designers, who create guests' itineraries, have all lived and worked in the destinations they work on.

This means that each trip is created by people who have actual first-hand experience of not just the area's culture and attractions but its hotels, dining, shopping, and the kind of local experiences that only a resident would know.

How Jacada Travel Itineraries Are Created

Jacada Travel's approach to travel planning: it should be a pleasure, not a chore. Working closely with the client, Jacada's "travel designer" creates and fine-tunes an entirely personal plan for the trip.

Major trip elements like destination flights and hotels are finessed, and help with visas is extended. Even minor aspects are managed: the view from your hotel rooms, whether you take coffee or tea with breakfast. Jacada clients have input throughout the planning process and final approval over everything in their itineraries.

The Kinds of Travelers Who See the World with Jacada Travel

Jacada Travel is a luxury travel choice for experienced travelers who know what a great travel experience and who seek to deepen their experience of the world.

Jacada Travel popular with couples (including honeymoon duos), families, small groups, and solo travelers. 40% of Jacada clients are English, and others come from all over the world. Over half (53%) of Jacada travelers are repeat clients, a high percentage for this field.

What Jacada Travel Experiences Are Like

Every Jacada Travel trip is different. What they have in common: they are tailor-made and privately guided. Jacada Travel vacations typically combine cultural, adventure, and luxury experiences. So a trip to…

  • South America could take in a great city like Buenos Aires or Rio, a relaxing stay at a winery hotel; wonders of the world like the Galapagos, Amazon rainforest, Macchu Pichu,  Iguassu Falls,  and the Patagonian wilderness.
  • Africa could include a helicopter safari with nights at posh lodges, leopard-tracking in Saba Sabi Reserve in South Africa's  bushveld,  elegant  dinner in Cape Town;  a secluded beachfront villa in Mozambique.

Jacada Travel Tour Guides

 Jacada's expert guides are English-speaking locals with deep knowledge of their territory.

  • They are often journalists or professors, but they may also be working archeologists, biologists, veterinarians, conservationists, art historians, and other committed professionals.
  • Their insight, local knowledge, and connections create meaningful, memorable travel experiences.

​Jacada's Local Guides Take Charge

The guides accompany the guest all day into the evening and are available 24 hours. They organize the traveler's private tours and attend to all logistical and transportation and modify plans or troubleshoot when necessary.

If Jacada Travel Is Right For You

The answer is probably  yes  if:

  • You're not willing to spend the research and communications time needed to plan a complicated vacation and would welcome help.
  • You're at ease delegating major personal projects like planning a major vacation.
  • You love exotic, off-the-beaten-path destinations, and want to get deep into their culture.
  • You are determined to avoid cookie-cutter, one-itinerary-fits-all tours.
  • You're a sophisticated luxury traveler, and only the best experiences will do.
  • You like traveling with a knowledgeable guide but like some independent time.

The answer is probably  no  if:

  • You feel that no one can possibly know and satisfy your tastes.
  • You want to be in control of all vacation planning and make every decision.
  • You prefer leisurely resort vacations to active or  adventure travels .
  • You prefer to travel on your own rather than with a guide.
  • When you travel, you like to follow your impulses and not a set itinerary.

Don't hesitate to book with Jacada Travel!!

We booked our honeymoon in Chile and Argentina with the Jacada team and we wouldn't recommend anyone else! Jacada took our interests, desires and preferences to heart and developed the most amazing week itinerary/ From the quality of local guides to the hotel bookings and food suggestions, all of our needs were met and exceeded. We did not encounter a single issue and we give full credit to our planners and local team.

Reply from Jacada Travel

Hi Haleigh & Tom Thanks so much for trusting us to plan this very special trip for you. You went on an epic journey through some of the most beautiful parts of South America and I'm so glad to hear everything went off without a hitch. It was lovely planning this trip together and I hope this will be the first of many Jacada adventures. Warm wishes, Lily & Berni

perfectly designed

Jen Richt designed the trip perfectly for me and my best friend on our first trip to Colombia. She heard us loud and clear and put together an itinerary that was diverse, covered a lot of ground and was exactly what we were looking for. A trip of a lifetime!

Date of experience : February 28, 2024

Hi Stephanie and Denise Thank you for your kind words, it was my pleasure planning your special trip together. I loved your high level of curiosity to discover Colombia, it is such a fascinating land rich in diversity and you achieved a lot on your trip there. Thank you for trusting me in helping you get there. Berni and I thoroughly enjoyed supporting you on your special adventure. Here's to many more journeys ahead! All our best Jen & Berni

Colombia 2024: Beautiful, Stress Free Trip

I spent 9 days traveling solo in Colombia, specifically Bogota, Medellin and Cartagena. The trip was planned so thoughtfully and thoroughly, and they took into consideration all of my feedback and interests. From hotels to restaurants, to tours, everything exceeded my expectations. Lily and Berni were great to work with, and always available to discuss the details of the trip, if needed. They carefully curated a beautiful list of boutique hotels that had all of the amenities I wanted. And booked a few restaurants with all of my "wants" included. The tours were very well planned out, with expert tour guides, who were personable and thoughtful. The English speaking guides and drivers were all on time/early when picking me up/dropping me off at the airport and for all excursions, which I greatly appreciated. I went to three cities in Colombia, and they booked all of the internal flights. They sent me my boarding pass a few hours before my trips, my guides took me into each airport, and made sure I got to where I needed to go. Their knowledge and passion for their cities was infectious, and made the experience that much more interesting and personal. There was also a 24/7 What's App group while away, which was a wonderful way to stay in touch and get immediate responses, if needed. Olga and Jessica were my contacts in Colombia, and they were super responsive, helpful and lovely. If you're thinking about booking a trip with Jacada, just do it, you won't be disappointed!

Date of experience : March 16, 2024

Hi Sarah, Thanks so much for your lovely message. It was a real pleasure planning this Colombia itinerary together and I'm glad we could make this trip of a lifetime work exactly the way you wanted it to. It sounds like you made great connections with the country and the guides – which is what makes a trip really special. I'm glad everything was seamless and you enjoyed your first Jacad trip. I hope this will be the first of many adventures we plan together. Very best wishes, Lily & Berni

Jacada planned the perfect trip!

I’ve never traveled via guide or planned a trip with an agency before…but I was blown away with Jacadas execution, knowledge, service and hospitality. From the first phone call, to the various drivers, guides, and reservations, to the very last farewell, Jacada made our Peru vacation absolutely spectacular. I highly recommend Ludwick, our guide in Cusco & Machu Picchu. He is such a wonderful person and the perfect guide. He took such great care of us, was flexible and so knowledgeable. I am very thankful for his guidance. I want to come back and hike the Inka Trail with him in the near future! Peru is a special place. Our driver, Sam, was also so helpful and compassionate. He went above and beyond for us when we forgot an article of clothing in one of our hotels. And our driver Carlo was such a pleasure. I highly recommend Jacada and the service they provide. Thank you so much for helping plan the perfect vacation. I cannot wait to book a future trip with you.

Hi Angela, Thanks for such a lovely review. From the moment we started planning this surprise trip for your husband I knew it was going to be an amazing one. I am very happy that you had the best time in magical Peru and even more exciting to hear you are thinking of coming back. Looking forward to working with you again in the future. My best, Delfina

Great experience working with our…

Great experience working with our travel designer. They made our travel a lot less stressful and recommended tours that we wouldn’t have got to experience otherwise. Not cheap but would recommend!

Date of experience : March 24, 2024

Dear Thao, Thank you for your lovely review. It was suchg a pleasure to help you and Andrew plan such a beautiful trip. I've passed all your feedback onto the team in Vietnam as well as my colleagues, and we're excited to hopefully help you plan a personalised and bespoke trip again soon. Thank you again for choosing Jacada. Best regards, David

My trip to Portugal was wonderful

My trip to Portugal was wonderful! I planned it with Meg and Rita, and their suggestions, answers to my questions and support all the way made my trip! I could not have done it without them! I travelled alone, so especially as a senior , my family knew I was really not alone! The drivers I had in Lisbon to Coimbra, and then in Coimbra to Porto were so helpful and attentive to all details. Each hotel was more beautiful than the previous one, so much so I can not pick a favourite! Meals were excellent! I attended Fado in Lisbon and then a surprise Fado with Coimbra university students in Coimbra. This was arranged by Meg and Rita, was a complete surprise and so enjoyable! The tour of the Roman ruins in Coimbra was informative and this guide was exemplary! The Lifestyle tour with Magdalena in Porto was definitely a highlight of my trip! Also I was able to return to Carcavelos, have lunch with friends, and also went to see the house my husband and I had built 45 years ago! Definitely a high light. Meeting Rita in Porto was lovely. I’m so impressed by her. I could continue, but this is already too verbose! Thank you Jacada , and especially Meg and Rita for this wonderful experience!!!

Date of experience : March 03, 2024

Hi Bea, Thank you so much for your kind words. We are beyond thrilled that you had such an incredible time in Portugal. We both absolutely loved making this trip happen for you. Rita really enjoyed meeting you in Porto too. Thank you again for choosing Jacada and I hope we can help you make more special memories in the future. All the very best, Meg & Rita

First Time to Forever Jacada Customer

From start to finish everyone I interacted with was wonderful to work with! I’ve never worked with a travel agent before my trip and now I'll never travel without one!! It was so nice to sit back and relax and have a trip planned for me that was totally customized to me and my preferences. We had an absolutely incredible time on our trip and I feel like they took extra precautions to make sure we were safe and had a good time! Truly, I would not have had as good of a trip if I planned it on my own. Worth every penny!!!!!

Date of experience : February 24, 2024

Hi Amrit, Angela and I are so pleased you and your mom had such a wonderful time in South Africa. We still can't believe how much you saw. It was really lovely working with you, too, and we can't wait to help plan your next adventure! Best wishes, Jamey and Angela

Amazing trip and attention to detail

Every detail of our trip was planned to ensure we had the best time and experiences. 100% will use Jacada again. Our team listed to our wants before the trip and planned an amazing 2 week vacation where we were able to experience and enjoy Latin America. From the moment we stepped off the plane, we were fully supported by local guides. The guides on each excursion/tour had incredible knowledge and passion for the areas we explored and we able to teach us a tremendous amount about local culture and history. Highly recommend planning a trip with Jacada!

Date of experience : February 16, 2024

Hi Brooke, Thank you for your kind review. We were delighted to assist you in planning your special trip to Argentina. Your interests touched on a few of my personal passions, the great outdoors, Buenos Aires and creative projects - particularly wine making! We were so happy to know you both had a lot of fun in Argentina and enjoyed your travels with us. The team was delighted to hear your feedback. Thank you for trusting Jacada and we'll be here for you whenever you are ready to think of travelling again. All our best Jen & Anabel

Exceptional Trip to SE Asia

What a fantastic trip to SE Asia! The trip could not have been better. The activities and tour guides were terrific. The food was delicious and the hotels were each unique with terrific customer service. Rachel and Cathy at Jacada were so professional and a pleasure to work with to plan this trip. It isn't easy to flawlessly coordinate lots of local flights and connections, but everything went smoothly and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Kudos to the Jacada team!

Hi Judy, Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. We're so pleased you enjoyed working with us, and most importantly that you loved your time in beautiful South East Asia. We'll look forward to helping you plan your next exotic adventure! All the best Rachel and Cathy

Jacada and Jacob Maahs - EXTRAORDINARY!

Jacada provided impeccable customer service for our trip to Namibia for our ten year anniversary. Our amazing trip designer Jacob Maahs was super brilliant in the itinerary he created for us, and he pulled it off at the very last minute (we are bad planners). He was a true pleasure to work with and I would trust him with any and all my future adventure travel needs.

Hi Kate and Jen, Thank you so much for your kind review and amazing feedback on the phone the other day. It was an absolute pleasure and delight working with you both to create this unique Namibia adventure. It is one of my favourite countries and I am so happy you both fell in love with the nature and culture! Angela and I cannot wait to welcome you back to Africa on your next adventure! All the best, Jacob & Angela

Jacada: Stunning, Seamless, Worry-Free Travel

Well worth every dollar spent! Jacada provided a seamless, spectacular, fully supported travel experience. From carefully chosen itineraries, to welcoming and skilled guides, to drivers who arrived with cold towels and drinks, we felt supported, seen, welcomed and heard at every step. This was our first trip, but will not be our last!

Date of experience : January 23, 2024

Hi Pamela & Robert, I really enjoyed hearing all about your favourite experiences in both Vietnam and Cambodia on our recent call and reliving your adventures. I'm so pleased to hear that everything went seamlessly and that you could simply relax and enjoy the whole trip. Thank you for the kind words. We can't wait for you to start planning your second Jacada vacation very soon! All the best, Ellie, Emily & Gita

A wonderful trip!!

We experienced a culturally rich tour of Vietnam. The excursions were fun and engaging and our accommodations lovely. Everything went off without a hitch. Keith and Cathy did a great job putting our trip together. Can’t say enough good things about Jacada

Date of experience : February 07, 2024

Hi Chuck & Alix, Thank you so much for your lovely review and time on the phone. It was our absolute pleasure to work with you both on creating your wonderful trip through Vietnam and Cambodia. It was especially great to hear how much you loved the accommodations and the unique experiences. Cathy & I were both so pleased to hear how much you enjoyed the trip and we look forward to hearing from you in the future for your next big trip. All the best, Keith & Cathy

Cambodian Culture Getaway—Amazing!

High-quality touring at high-quality hotels no matter where you may find yourself. We like to immerse ourselves in a new country by day and relax at night. Jacada made that happen in far-flung Cambodian locales from the bustle of Phnom Penh to the jungles of the Cardamom Mountains to the sites of the temple city of Siem Reap. Truly special.

Date of experience : January 30, 2024

Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure creating this trip for you and your family and lots of fun to share some of my favourite properties with you. I'm looking forward to helping you with your next plan and selecting some more accommodations to wow you. All the best Charlie and Gita

a PHENOMENAL experience

The entire process was seamless, from planning to execution. Rachel, Lauren, and Anna thought of every detail; they worked with us constructively to plan a GORGEOUS trip within our budgetary constraints; and they created and threw in for us so many additional experiences that were so thoughtful and helped make the trip incredibly memorable.

Date of experience : March 27, 2024

Dear Claire, Thank you so much for your lovely feedback! We are thrilled to hear you and your family had such an amazing trip in Asia. We really enjoyed working with you on this and look forward to helping you plan your next family adventure. Best, Rachel and Anna

Most of all, we're so pleased you were able to finally meet some sloths in Costa Rica. I hope we can plan many more adventures together in the future. Thank you for continuing your book adventures with Jacada - it's such a pleasure to work with you. All the best, Lily & Berni

Jacada planned our trip of a lifetime…

Jacada planned our trip of a lifetime to Vietnam and Thailand in January/February 2024 for 3 weeks. From the moment we landed in Hanoi, they prioritized our entry through customs to a no wait line and transferred us to our guide and driver. It was seamless and professional the entire trip. We experienced the culture and people in authentic day trips through the trip. Making rice paper in countryside home, drinking tea and playing music with a local family to traveling the Mekong delta in a fast boat. We had 6 different guides/drives and all of them made sure our experiences were perfect. The accommodations were all 5 stars and well situated and appointed. The top hotels included Capella in Hanoi, Four Seasons in Hoi An and Six Senses in Kao Yao Noi. It would be very difficult to not use Jacada again after having sure a wonderful trip with no worries. My trip advisor Rosanna Convey made sure we hit all the top spots and had the most spectacular trip.

Dear Pam and Mark, Thank you deeply for sharing your unforgettable journey with us. We're thrilled to hear that your trip to Vietnam and Thailand was seamless and you enjoyed all the enriching experiences. Your kind words mean the world to us, and we're honoured to have been part of your trip of a lifetime. Whenever you're ready for your next adventure, we would love to work with you on another spectacular trip. Best wishes, Rosanna & Cathy

The Jacada team planned a fabulous trip 3 times!

The Jacada team planned a fabulous trip to Chile for us and went above and beyond to reschedule it twice because of the pandemic and then a bout of covid. They kept a close watch on us the entire time to make sure everything was going just right. Will be using them again for a trip to Portugal in a few months!

Date of experience : February 14, 2024

Hi Emily, Thank you for your kind review. Nothing was going to stop you from getting to Chile in the end. Your trip was meant to be after all, these obstacles were only for us to overcome! It was so nice to catch up with you when you got home and to know you had a brilliant time in the invigorating lands of Patagonia. Here's to many more adventures for you both! We are delighted to be part of these journeys. All our best Jen & Berni

They listen, to understand :)

The attention to detail while planning our trip was great. They have great local partners that just made our trip amazing from pick up at the airport when we arrived to when we left Nepal. Great job all around. Ellie and Cathy really went above and beyond understanding what we were looking for and planned every detail so well. They really paid attention and what we experienced was great. Thank you for not making us feel just like another number churning through Jacada. This was personal and truly an amazing experience.

Date of experience : January 12, 2024

Hi Hetal & Sunny, I loved planning your trip to Nepal and hearing all the wonderful feedback on our recent call. I can't wait to see some of the photos! I'm excited that you're already thinking about gorilla trekking in Rwanda and the migration in Kenya and we can't wait for you to experience these incredible destinations on your next Jacada adventure! All the best, Ellie & Cathy

Highly Recommended Travel / Service Provider

Our Jacada Peru trip was a first-class experience. Everything was seamless. The guides were excellent, the hotels were appropriate (some were really excellent), the logistics were perfect. There were many thoughtful small touches that made a real difference (snacks, a boxed lunch on the day we were picked up and went on a long drive), water, small gifts for the kids, etc. We loved being on a complicated trip where we did not have to constantly be managing logistics, tickets, boarding passes etc.

Date of experience : January 11, 2024

Hola David and Naomi, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. We hope that Hannah, Isaac and Leah are doing well. We really enjoyed putting your beautiful trip together and working alongside you to make sure you had the best experience during your trip to my homeland. Very much looking forward to working with you again on another exciting family adventure. Warm regards, David & Carlos

Africa Adventure

Another incredible trip by Jacada. This was our 3rd booking and it did not disappoint. Everything was specialized to our interests and executed perfectly. Well done Jacada.

Dear Lindsay, Thanks for taking the time to leave us this lovely review. We're so happy to hear that your 3rd Jacada adventure was perfect.

Editoral Review of 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?

  • Luxury travelers willing to splurge
  • All interests

A man in a robe looking out the window from a bathroom

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

  • 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!

Macchu Picchu covered with clouds

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.

Jacada Travel Style

Jacada Travel is all about the most exclusive, luxurious, and high class travel experiences to top every vacation you’ve ever had. Accomodations lie in the 4 to 5 star range,are beautifully decorated, and the absolute best available.

You’ll get boutique hotels with library patios, antique furniture from local artisans, and award winning performances in cocktail lounges. No two itineraries are the same, although you can view some sample itineraries on their page.

A house beside a beach on a sunny day

Even your transportation from one place to the next will have you amazed - with top of the line, bucket list experiences. Expect helicopter rides, private chartered flights, high-end speedboats, and luxury trains.

To book a trip with Jacada Travel, it’s important to do so far in advance. For starters, getting to know the traveler over email and/or phone is essential to matching them with the right accommodations, experiences, and guides. If it’s a busy destination, booking early gives them ample time to curate your dream trip.

The Top 10 Tour Operators in 2020

jacada travel

Last year’s World’s Best Awards survey closed on March 2, 2020, just before widespread stay-at-home orders were implemented as a result of COVID-19. The results reflect our readers’ experiences before the pandemic, but we hope that the honorees will inspire your trips to come — whenever they may be.

Discerning travelers know that the best tour operators in the world are like magicians. They can arrange meals at secret restaurants, private viewings in wildlife reserves, and after-hours visits to top museums. One day they might surprise you with a sundowner on a secluded beach, a helicopter ride to lunch, or a walking safari.

These are the kinds of trips and flourishes that would be difficult, if not impossible, to put together on your own, even with a meticulous personality and an abundance of free time. The best tour operators have the connections, experience, and know-how that are essential to planning a seamless journey. They know the most keen-eyed safari guides and how to get you expedited through the airport. Booking the best trattoria in Rome — as well as the most coveted table and a personal meeting with the chef — is all in a day’s work.

Every year for our World’s Best Awards survey , T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated tour operators and safari outfitters based on their staff and guides, itineraries and destinations, activities, accommodations, food, and overall value.

The companies that made this year’s list are largely boutique operations. Some run just a handful of trips each year — like No. 3 Terra Incognita Ecotours, whose clients are passionate about wildlife and willing to go off the beaten path to destinations such as Borneo and Patagonia . Others focus on certain hobbies or interests. For instance, No. 6 DuVine organizes cycling trips for travelers who relish the yin-yang of exertion and indulgence. Still others have geographic concentrations, such as No. 2 Greaves India, which is known for its custom itineraries in India, Nepal, Tibet, and neighboring countries. No. 8 Classic Journeys earns raves for its walking trips.

Then there are companies that span the globe and almost any style of travel. Their clients may long to see Boston or Botswana, seek hard-charging adventure or a serious wellness retreat. Artisans of Leisure, Black Tomato , and its peers are able to tailor trips to almost any interest. They’re also skilled at planning celebratory and multigenerational trips, where the expectations are often sky-high.

If you want to guarantee a once-in-a-lifetime experience, these are the best tour operators to call, according to T+L readers. Find the full list below, and details on what makes each company so special.

1. Ker & Downey

Score: 99.10

More information: kerdowney.com

“Completely personalized, stellar guides, fabulous recommendations, unforgettable trips,” is how one T+L reader summed up the Ker & Downey experience. The company has been serving travelers for more than 50 years, and though it’s especially known for safaris, the advisors are adept at planning custom trips with a “wow” factor anywhere in the world. Little wonder that many of the readers who rated it so highly are repeat customers, especially for landmark celebrations.

2. Greaves Tours

Score: 98.96

More information: greavesindia.com

For more than 40 years, the Cambata family has been planning impeccable custom trips to destinations that require extensive planning — not only India, but Nepal, Tibet, Bhutan, the Maldives, and Sri Lanka. “Excellent itineraries,” one T+L reader said. Past travelers also complimented Greaves’s enthusiastic guides and unflappable, knowledgeable drivers.

3. Terra Incognita Ecotours

Score: 98.92

More information: ecotours.com

Founder Gerard “Ged” Caddick has serious ecotourism cred, having led trips for the World Wildlife Fund, National Geographic Society, American Museum of Natural History, and National Audubon Society. His company only runs about half a dozen wildlife-focused tours each year, visiting a wide array of destinations, including Peru, Namibia, and Arctic Norway. Each trip is limited to 16 guests, and as one reader pointed out, Caddick often joins, too: “One of the perks of traveling with this company is the owner and his wife go on many of the tours themselves. You know absolutely everything will be taken care of.”

4. Jacada Travel

Score: 98.30

More information: jacadatravel.com

“They can handle the most complicated itinerary and find the most intriguing and delightful places to visit,” one T+L reader raved about this London-based group. The company started out planning trips to Brazil in 2008 and has since expanded to orchestrate private, once-in-a-lifetime journeys around the globe. Jacada staffers have experience living and working in the destinations they specialize in, so their knowledge is deep and personal.

5. Artisans of Leisure

Score: 98.26

More information: artisansofleisure.com

This company plans customized private journeys packed with five-star-hotel stays and insider experiences in dozens of countries. Trips are tailored to suit travelers’ interests, including food, photography, genealogy, gardens, adventure, and more. “The itineraries are always the perfect balance of famous highlights, off-the-beaten-track spots, and special behind-the-scenes experiences,” one World’s Best voter wrote. “They’re also exceptionally good with organizing family travel, and everyone from the grandparents to the grandchildren always has such a great time.”

6. DuVine Cycling + Adventure Co.

Score: 98.02

More information: duvine.com

DuVine is all about travel on two wheels — though it does have some trips that combine its signature cycling with sailing on a private yacht. The local guides are pro cyclists, chefs, and winemakers, and though there are plenty of itineraries for advanced riders, they’re far from spartan training missions. “Absolutely amazing, over-the-top tours!” one T+L reader enthused.

7. Boundless Journeys

Score: 97.92

More information: boundlessjourneys.com

For more than 20 years, Boundless Journeys has been leading locally guided tours — capped at 16 travelers but often clocking in at eight or 10 — with a focus on the outdoors. It covers destinations from Vermont to Vietnam, and is especially known for walking, hiking, and trekking trips.

8. Classic Journeys

Score: 97.86

More information: classicjourneys.com

When the company began in 1995, it offered walking tours in three countries. Twenty-five years later, it has more than 100 cultural, walking, culinary, family, multisport, and river-cruising itineraries — both small-group and custom — on six continents. Classic Journeys specializes in taking new approaches to familiar destinations and was an early entrant into American travel to Cuba. “Classic Journeys made sure we didn’t miss some of the must-see sights,” one pleased voter wrote, “but they also gave us opportunities for some unique visits.”

9. Quasar Expeditions

Score: 97.54

More information: quasarex.com

Founded by an Ecuadoran couple in 1986, Quasar pioneered luxury cruising in the Galápagos Islands and expanded to land travel that includes the rest of Ecuador, Patagonia, and Peru. It’s still run by the same family, who ensure that no detail of their small-group trips goes overlooked. “The two naturalist guides for our Galápagos cruise were incredibly knowledgeable,” one reader reported. “Their love for their islands shined through every single activity.”

10. Black Tomato

Score: 97.44

More information: blacktomato.com

Launched in 2005 by a trio of travel-loving friends, Black Tomato caters to deep-pocketed clients looking for bespoke experiences that are edgy and luxurious. Think pairing dancing salsa in Santiago, Chile, with an Antarctic expedition, or being purposely “lost” in a remote destination in order to plot your way home — with an indulgent reward along the way, of course.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Moscow subways are very clean

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
