"Sarah was an absolute joy to work with. She planned an extended family vacation for us - 24 people, ages 18 to 80+, arriving from multiple airports on multiple days. She took care of everything for us and the entire trip was as smooth as silk. Our resort, excursion and airport transfers could not have gone more smoothly thanks to Sarah’s planning and constant communication with us.

She slings a huge bunch of the fruit on her back and begins the walk home from her chaco - the patch of land where she grows cassava, corn, plantains and rice.

Martina is one of 16,000 Tsimanes (pronounced “chee-may-nay") - a semi-nomadic indigenous community living deep in the Amazon rainforest, 600km (375 miles) north of Bolivia’s largest city, La Paz... (Read More)

As Young Travel continually tries to build the business and bring in new clients, we have found that many people place value in Google Reviews. While this has not been a priority for our agency previously, Greenville has become such a melting pot that we feel this is an important area to address.

We've loved our home at Pinnacle Bank downtown for many years and have a longstanding, great relationship with them. Fortunately for them and unfortunately for us, they are expanding and needed to reclaim the space that Young Travel occupied. Property is hard to find right now in Greenville, as Greenville is a hot spot with many new businesses and individuals flocking here to live in our beautiful city.

Young Travel is now located near the East North and N. Pleasantburg intersection. Our new address is 25 Sweetbriar Rd, Suite 7B, Greenville, SC 29615. Come see us!
