Everything was smooth from start to…

Everything was smooth from start to finish. The initial plan was made effortlessly with many helpful suggestions for hotels, excursions and restaurants. Lots of wonderful information gave me to the tools to make informed decisions for our vacation. Everyone we dealt with once in Europe was fabulous from the agents to drivers to tour guides. Highly recommend splurging for the service of someone taking care of the details for a trip with lots of nuances.

10 day trip across Northern Italy

Planning our trip was through jayway was the best choice we made. After trying to plan a multi 4 City vacation across the northern Italy area on our own we found ourselves lost with the amount of planning and options available online. We decided to try jayway and it was perfect . Once we explained what we want they devised an itinerary including hotels, transportation services and tours using their network of contacts. The trip was fantastic right down to the finest details

Authentic travel experience made easy!

We would recommend JayWay Travel to anyone! We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The initial experience of planning the trip was so easy to navigate. Our trip was full of awesome tours picked by JayWay that exceeded our expectations. We loved our tour in Naxos, Greece especially that provided us with an extremely authentic experience. We had zero issues with planned activities or transfers. Would highly recommend.

JayWay Travel is Exceptional!

Oh my goodness, I can not express how very happy I found JayWay Travel. I am not sure how it happened but it was the best experience I have had. All we had to do is make our International Flights and Elena Rudenko was so helpful prior to our trip. She nailed every hotel and excursion that she had suggested.
Once we were in country I can't say enough good things about Mido Ali Siam. He kept us on track and was so kind to send our ferry tickets to our hotel as well as electronic copies to us. We got to meet him in Athens and it was a complete joy!!

I will definitely use JayWay for my future travel needs. We have planned many trips ourselves and I have to say this was the very best planning experience I have ever had! Thanks JayWay

Organized information, helpful people, fabulous experience

Jaywsy is the best travel company because they give you so much information and choices. Every city we went to they gave us a list of extra things we could do. They gave us choices of what activities we would do and the exact time and place we would be picked up and what we would see or do. We chose horeback riding, sea kayaking, hiking with a gu I de and a tour of each island. We went to 4 Greek islands by ferry or plane
This company is so organized and the people very helpful. I would recommend them and will use them in the future. The hotels were in the right locations, with views that were outstanding. Loved our trip and si happy I used Jayway Linda Patterson Ga.

Second trip with JayWay....already planning the next one!

I am a repeat traveler with JayWay and could not be happier with their service. They are experts at designing an itinerary that perfectly suits your individual needs and preferences. Whether you are looking for adventurous excursions, cultural experiences, local cuisine, or a little of everything - JayWay can make it happen. Their local representatives are extremely professional and responsive. On my most recent trip to Italy they even handled check-ins and forwarded boarding passes for 2 domestic flights. All accommodations have been thoroughly vetted and there are options to suit any budget. They handle all the details so you can relax and enjoy your trip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

A Trip of a Lifetime Made Effortless by JayWay Travel

In May of 2025, my wife and I, along with six of our close friends, embarked on a dream vacation to Italy, visiting Rome, Florence, and Venice. We chose JayWay Travel to help us plan this once-in-a-lifetime journey—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made.

From the very beginning, the JayWay team impressed us. Our trip advisor worked closely with us to design a custom itinerary that not only matched our vision but also stayed within our budget. We were offered a curated selection of exceptional hotels and a range of private excursions and tours that made the planning process both exciting and stress-free.

Upon arrival in Rome, we were greeted by a personal driver who whisked us directly to our hotel—just the first of many thoughtful touches that made us feel truly taken care of. Transfers between cities were just as seamless. JayWay had everything arranged, from hotel pickups to train station drop-offs, allowing us to focus on enjoying our time together rather than worrying about logistics.

The excursions were another highlight. Every tour was private and included skip-the-line access to major attractions like the Colosseum, the Vatican, and several museums. We felt like VIPs every step of the way, avoiding the long lines and crowds that can often make travel stressful.

What truly set JayWay apart, however, was the exceptional support from our local representative. He was always available—no matter the time of day—to answer questions, offer local insights, and provide amazing dining recommendations. His presence gave us peace of mind and added a personal touch that elevated the entire experience.

This trip was unforgettable. Everything was expertly handled, allowing us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and culture of Italy. I only wish JayWay Travel operated globally, because I would use them for every international trip going forward. If you're looking for a hassle-free, highly personalized travel experience, look no further than JayWay Travel. They truly deliver excellence every step of the way.

Excellence in travel

We used Jayway to plan both our trip to Croatia and then to Spain and Portugal. Both trips were customized to our desires. They attended to every detail making the trip a wonderful experience. Accomodations were excellent, recommended tours were special, and the logistics of the trip were perfectly excuted. In a word, they were the BEST.

JayWay Travel ALL the Way!

I first used JayWay Travel in 2009 via Skype appointment for a Croatia booking and had a positive experience. JayWay Travel has a most unique method of connecting guests to a Country Host/Expert with a cellphone (early years)and NOW with a Travel eSIM, simply installed on a cellphone. No other company I'm aware of uses this method. BELIEVE me when I say you might think, "no, I won't use this" and then you do.
I just returned from 15 day France: Paris,Marseille, Nice and Lyon with a friend that saw the value of using JayWay Travel. We are both World Travelers and found a balance between tours and exploring on our own. We decided on a CUSTOMIZED trip using our own dates and destinations. Working with our JayWay Travel Advisor who quickly customized our package. It took less thann1 week to review an accept proposal. Then, all set until 30 days prior to hear from the France Expert.
A real Boutique Travel Experience!
We loved everything about our accommodations, tours and driver/guides. No worries about no shows when waiting for driver/guides to pickup at hotels or train stations. We used our provided GUEST PAGE for easy reference to other recommendations. I highly recommend and will HAPPILY use them again. THANK YOU JayWay Travel Team!

Beware of antisemitism

I thought the local contact and the representative were excellent in providing a great trip. I do have issue with the people they contract with, one especially. The driver who drove us to the airport in Warsaw gave us an antisemitic rant saying Israel was like the Nazis and it is committing genocide. I finally had to tell him to be quiet. I would not recommend JayWay until they clean up the antisemitism in their corporation.

Dear Wendy,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you had a positive experience with your local contacts at JayWay Travel and that your overall trip went well.
We are, however, very sorry to learn about the unwelcome comments made by the driver during your transfer. We want to be clear that we do not condone discriminatory language of any kind, and we take such reports extremely seriously. While the driver was not a direct employee of JayWay but rather a subcontracted service provider, we hold our partners to high professional and ethical standards. We have already initiated a review of this incident and are taking steps to ensure that future travelers do not encounter similar situations.
We ask all our partners to instruct our drivers and guides to avoid bringing up sensitive topics like politics and keeping their opinions to themselves. Our focus is on ensuring all our guests feel respected and safe, regardless of their background or beliefs.
We truly value your feedback, and we appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention so we can take appropriate action. We will follow up privately with further details.

Sincerely,
Iryna
JayWay Travel Team

JayWay Travel provided great planning, recommendations, and service at a reasonable cost!

JayWay Travel provided much needed assistance in planning our trip to Poland and they made sure everything went smoothly while we were there. Their recommendations for accommodations, restaurants, tours, and excursions were spot on. They were flexible when we needed to alter some of our plans last minute due to a medical issue. We were able to have a private tour of Poland all the while knowing we were being shepherded by JayWay's knowlegable in country liaison. I will always use JayWay when we visit Europe.
