Ecuador's highlands & Galapagos by Mrs J L 17, 28 May 2017
Holiday Rating:

Visits to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands.

The Galápagos are a unique destination and did not fail to impress. Each day was different, each island was different. And this so much to see. Ecuador also was good, but wet a lot of the time, we had some very good experiences though.

Rating for tour operator:

The service was professional and very friendly. They always made time to answer each question thoroughly and we're most reassuring. They had recent in depth knowledge of the area. The tour leader in Ecuador was great, knowledgable, available but never intrusive.

Cuba beyond the beach by Lilianne, 29 Apr 2017
Holiday Rating:

Tailor-made 17-day trip through Cuba

All transfers, usually by taxi, and all accommodation was arranged by JLA. Everything worked beautifully. The schedule was Havana-Vinales-Cienfuegos-Trinidad-Kamaguey-Santiago de Cuba-Baracoa-Havana. Three homestays and four hotels. Wherever we went, the two of us did our own thing: a few local excursions, searching out the music and dancing, exploring. Wonderful country with lovely people and we tried to take it all in, wishing them all the best...

Journey Latin America know this part of the world inside out. It is easy to discuss your dreams and wishes with them and they will put together a proposal along those lines. This procedure has worked wonderfully well for me on three occasions and this trip was just what we had hoped for. Exciting AND smooth.

Signature Chile & Argentina by BrianJ, 28 Apr 2017
Holiday Rating:

Every aspect, from the smallest through to the biggest worked beautifully thanks to Journey Latin America.

We travelled extensively throughout Argentina and Chile for 3.5 weeks taking 8 internal flights. We went from Iguazu in the North through to Patagonia in the South. it was all outstanding. We can't praise JLA enough for their planning and execution.

Journey Latin -'America came up with the perfect itinerary, very much personalised for us. At a late stage we made some changes which they coped with extremely efficiently and flexibly. Fantastic trip. I will book with them again.

Essential Peru by Margaret from Reading, 24 Apr 2017
Holiday Rating:

Every support to enjoy the diversity of Peru to the max!

We visited the southern half of Peru with Journey Latin America in April 2017. We felt so safe and free to enjoy everything this marvellous country offers: scenery, wildlife, cuisine, art, culture, religion, history...and, of course, Machu Picchu. However, I'm pleased to say that we quickly learnt that Peru is much more than Machu Picchu. The knowledgeable, passionate tour leader accompanying us throughout and the enthusiastic local guides ...

However, I'm pleased to say that we quickly learnt that Peru is much more than Machu Picchu. The knowledgeable, passionate tour leader accompanying us throughout and the enthusiastic local guides together helped us to make the most of every opportunity to enjoy what each region offers, without overloading us with information. They are great ambassadors for their country.

Rating for tour operator:

Journey Latin America's organisation is faultless from start to finish, from knowledgeable staff in the London office to excellent tour leaders and guides when in country. Accommodation, transport and travel arrangments were trouble-free and comfortable. This is the second time we have travelled with JLA and it won't be the last. I strongly recommend them to all my friends.

This was our second trip with Journey Latin America, and again we were very pleased with everything: they are experts in this part of the world, everything was handled efficiently and professionally, the tour was well-planned and our tour guide could not have been better. We will definitely travel with them again.

A Wonderful Trip

I went on an organised tour but added on days and locations at both ends. I had a wonderful time and all the bits worked well.

The best holiday we've had for many years

A carefully and imaginatively planned itinerary in Chile, Argentina and Colombia, where our wishes were taken full account of and knowledgeable and creative thought was added to give us a very special experience.
