Tour of Patagonia

Quite a fast paced tour visiting several destinations in Chlie and Argentina. We saw stunning scenery including volcanoes and glaciers. We enjoyed some amazing treks led by very professional and brilliant guides.

Amazing Colombia

We opted for the Weaverbird holiday to Colombia with JLA, having used this company twice before. All the booking arrangements went smoothly and we set off confident that JLA would ensure our trip was enjoyable and memorable. We were not disappointed.

We opted for the Weaverbird holiday to Colombia with JLA, having used this company twice before. All the booking arrangements went smoothly and we set off confident that JLA would ensure our trip was enjoyable and memorable. We were not disappointed. We have also used Explore on a number of occasions. If we are being nitpicky, we would critiicse the trip on two fronts. Firstly, there were three long road trips which were rather long and tedious, and not always in very comfortable transport. Secondly, the tour guide had very limited local knowledge, although it would be unfair to blame her, she being otherwise excellent. Rather it would be due to JLA's policy of giving their tour guides the whole continent, whereas if they allocated a specific tour guide for each country the customer would be much more enlightened. Our experience with Explore would bear this out So, on balance a great trip and extremely well organised. Good value, too. So we would therefore dock a star for the niggles, but it was well worth a four star rating.

An excellent company providing holidays to all parts of Central and South America. The tour leader was friendly and very helpful, and amazingly tolerant of our diverse group. We would definitely use them again as they are probably th foremost authority on Latin America.

Whirlwind trip around Chile!

Amazing holiday by Journey Latin America. We covered Santiago, Atacama Desert, Chilean Lake District and Torres del Paine in 2 weeks. Action packed but so interesting and brilliantly run. Added on a 3 night trip to Easter Island afterwards and that too was amazing. All hotels had amazing views and were of a high standard.

Thoughtful service and great adventures

Our third time with Journey Latin America and as ever the personal service, outstanding quality of guides and good organisation made for a wonderful, memorable trip. We stayed in some amazing places, ate at some classic restaurants but most of all saw some places that will stay with us for ever.

Chilean highlights

I did JLA's Penguin tour - 12 days travelling the length of this vast country. great sights, excellent accommodation and good food. Not an active trip and definitely suited to older customers. great guides - but the distances can make it all seem a bit compressed - leaves you wanting more.
