Rating for tour operator:Very knowledgeable and efficient
Off the main track in Mexico
Coyoacan in Mexico City, a charming historic suburb, beautiful colonial Puebla, Coatepec in the cooler coffee growing area, handy for the magnificent museum in Xalapa and the charming and relatively undeveloped (though with the oustanding hotel Casa Que Canta) Pacific town of Zihuatanejo

Amazing trip to Costa Rica
Sophie Barber at JLA planned at very short notice, a 23 day anti-clockwise trip around Costa Rica, which covered all the places we wanted to visit.

Rating for tour operator:Sophie Barber at JLA is the best travel consultant we have come across. She has planned and arranged several trips for us to Central and South America, and we would not use anyone else for trips to this part of world.
A driving tour of Cuba
We arrived in Havana and stayed there for 3 days. We loved Havana. We then drove to Vinales, then onto Las Terrazas. Then on to Cienfuegos and Trinidad and then back to Havana. Much of the architecture is beautiful in many places. We enjoyed our time in the rural communities seeing how they lived and farmed. We felt our trip gave us a good insight into the life of Cuba.

Rating for tour operator:Extremely well organised and efficient company. Nothing too much trouble and helplines in abundance wherever we went. We felt safe and well looked after by such a superb organisation. Their app was fully comprehensible and so very useful. The tour guides and drivers were exceptional and we are seasoned travellers who do not praise lightly except when it is thoroughly deserved.
An interesting holiday in Colombia to a developing country well worth visiting at the moment
We traveled round one of the two "usual" tours of Colombia and had excellent guides and tours of the main sites with a lot of interesting talks to locals about the state of the Country. Optimism is high in some points but very low in others, as is probably to be expected. An attractive and varied country with some good hotels and some excellent food although pizza does seem to be the prevalent food everywhere.

Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America gave us various ideas and we gave them our requirements and we thought they had given us what we asked for and chosen well. All their arrangements went as planned with no hitches even with the landslides on the road from Bogota and Villa de Leyva, with alternative arrangements made to use the telecabine across the canyon and meeting us at either end. Their drivers drivers and guides were excellent.
Safe return
