Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

The 8 days on the ground were divided perfectly between the Capital, birdwatching and beach cafes in Playa Larga, eating walking and dancing in Trinidad and 2 full days on the perfect beach in Cayo Santa Maria

Well organised by Journey Latin America with excellent local support in-country.

Costa Rica multi-site, self drive

Listened to what we wanted and gave us everything we asked for

Bespoke itinerary to see Monarch Butterfly sanctuary in Michoacan, Grey whales in Magdalena Bay and Visit to the Copper Canyon.

Put together at short notice and all arrangements worked smoothly and reliably.

We spent nearly 3 weeks in Columbia and found the people very friendly . it's a safe country with lots to see . A great mixture of city tours , time in nature reserves , coffee plantation and on the beach

We have used Journey Latin America for 6 holidays and every one has been excellent

4 days in Quito, 3 nights on the Napo River in the Amazon, 8 days self-drive down the avenue of the volcanoes and 4 nights in the Galapagos

Have no comparison as have always previously arranged self-drive holidays around the world ourselves but disappointed with the lack of knowledge of local conditions in recommending a route that involved roads that had washed out the previous year and a stay in a town where the only attraction closed several years ago. Local service providers and accommodation organised by the company were excellent.

We did a tour of various parts of this huge country, visiting Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena, Los Llanos and the mountainous area high up above Santa Marta/Minca (El Dorado). We experienced lovely Colombian people, so many wonderful birds and animals and glorious scenery. A great mix to give us a real taste of Colombia

JLA are simply second to none. Third time we have used them and it won't be the last! their attention to detail is outstanding and their choice of local operators is perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We wanted to see as much as we could in Argentina in a relatively short time (2 weeks) and JLA made that possible for us.

Very professional and knowledgable - extremely polite and professional. I can’t recommend them enough!

Booked in 2019 Costa Rica was a longtime coming but pretty well met our expectations. We saw a lot of the country with 5 locations in 2 weeks which made it quite tiring but its what we wanted. We were blessed with great weather too

JLA listened to what we wanted and put a good package together, Very supportive throughout all the Covid disruption

Visit to Quito, tour the Old Town. transfer to MY Grace for cruise and activities in the Galapagos islands.

Extremely helpful, good local knowledge and great agents in country.

We travelled, the 3 of us from Heathrow to Havana in Cuba (via Paris). The changes in Paris were very chaotic with overcrowding in security, made worse by the fact that at least half of all hand luggage was selected for searching. We stayed at Iberostar hotels. The rooms in the Havana Iberostar Hotel are out of this world - excellent. However, although there is a mini bar, there is nothing in it. I wanted some water and got charged 6 US $ per small bottle. Next day we travelled to Hotel Ensenachos which is a hotel on one of the 3 islands called Las Brujas. It is a beautiful hotel and we stayed in one of the villas in their Coral Village. The beaches are quiet, silky golden sand with clear blue water and lined with palm trees, and sun loungers are provided and you can have as many drinks as you like served to you on the beach as it is an all inclusive hotel. At lunch and dinner you can have champagne with every meal. The food however is extremely limited They seem not to have much fruit or fruit juices. The mini bars in the rooms are no longer filled with water or soft drinks which is a problem if you like to make a cup of tea or coffee in the room. ( They did supply water after I made a fuss) Incidentally they had no black tea, only flavoured. I took my own tea, cracker biscuits, sweet biscuits and cheese as a stand-by, and my own cereal. We consumed almost all of it - it was needed. February 2022 holiday.

The tour operator, Journey Latin America, is generally very efficient. I think however, that they have not received sufficient information regarding changes made in Cuba since the 2020 pandemic when hotels were closed for long periods. There are new policies particularly regarding payments for goods or services.
