Reviews of Journey Latin America / Journeyscape
Educational and very interesting
JLA delivered as per brochure - I am repeat traveller with JLA and prob the No 1 for Latin America and Caribbean . Trip was somewhat hectic but saw a lot of the real country and culture. Most of the accommodation was fine - pleasantly surprised with few. Food could have been better but our local guide, lazero knew all the good private houses to go to for dinner. Recommend JLA and Cuba to anyone who seeks culture and the 'real' country.

Rating for tour operator:My 4 or 5th trip with JLA - knowledgeable consultants, helpful and responsive. My preferred tour operator for Latin & Central America. Would highly recommend
Fantastic experience from start to finish
We visited Buenos Aires, then made our way to the Iguazu Falls, then onto Rio de Janeiro and finally onto IIah Grande, a tropical island to relax for the last few days. It was a fantastic expriance , one that we will never forget.

Rating for tour operator:We used Journey Latin America, they tailor made the trip to meet my needs , including my specific instruction that I wanted to see a Tango show on a specific night of my partners birthday who's dream was to see Tango danced in Buenos Aires. All the plans made by Journey Latin America were faultless and we had a trip which will last in our memory forever.
Marvellous Mayan Adventure
We only spent two weeks touring Guatemala and Belize but that gave us a taste for wanting to go back. We started off in the beautiful old city of Antigua with its cobbled streets and wonderful history. Visited the Mayan ruins of Tikal and Yaccha, Spent a day on Lake Atitlan visiting various lakeside villages by boat. In Belize we spent three nights at the Eco friendly resort of Chaa Creek before enjoying the luxury of Ambergris Caye.

Rating for tour operator:This is the third holiday we have been on with Journey Latin America. We like the fact that they use Tour Guides who know the countries well, are very experienced and well organised.
unforgetable travel through diverse Chilean scenes
Magnificent scenery, fauna, flora and birds, welcoming people, excellent hotels and delicious fresh food, especially seafood. Travelled in a small group, treated as individuals with excellent travel arrangements that appeared behind the scenes enabling a carefree holiday with plenty of time for individual sightseeing choices. Journey Latin America knows the country and its tour guides are very knowledgeable but not in your face working tirelessly ...

Journey Latin America knows the country and its tour guides are very knowledgeable but not in your face working tirelessly behind the scene to make the holiday experience enjoyable for you as an individual.
Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America is the best travel company I have experienced over many years and recommend them unconditionally.
Amazing diversity and charms of Latin America's hotest new destination
The most diverse scenery and cultural experience we have had in our 6 + tours of Latin American countries. Of all the places we have been, I am more tempted to return to Colombia for more exciting travel than any other (so far!). The change from Salento to Medellin to Cartagena is an unforgettable roller-coaster ride!

Rating for tour operator:Absolutely everything went according to plan and itinerary. I wouldn't change anything (but one hotel; our particular whimsy). Would use them again.
a multitude of memories
we travelled south through Chile and Argentina and enjoyed so many memorable experiences. The glaciers, Torres, the cruise from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia and especially the Orcas and penguins. It was put together with assistance from Journey Latin America who made many suggestions from their experience. It wouldn't have been such a "rich" trip without their input

Rating for tour operator:Journey latin america were so good in helping us put together our itinerary and then making the bookings - all of which went so smoothly once we were there. Their representative, Margot, was particularly good - knowledgeable, efficient, nothing too much trouble etc
14-day tour of Mexico
Group tour of Mexican ruins and geographical areas. I learned that Mexico was more that "sun and beaches"

Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America had put together a well organized itinerary that allowed us to experience the culture and food of several Mexican regions, as well as learn about and climb some of the ruins. The guide who accompanied us through out the trip was excellent.
Journey Latin America come up trumps again.
Spent 19 days in Costa Rica with JLA and their local representatives, all went swimmingly well. I planned my hol with Lina Fuller at JLA and she tailored something great for me including arranging for me to go to a lodge that they had not any connection with. Highlights were Bosque Del Cabo, Rafiki Lodge and Maquenque Lodge, various grades of paradise. Saw some amazing wildlife and scenery, food generally great. Staff at hotels and lodges of ...

Staff at hotels and lodges of a very high standard. Wish I was still there.
Rating for tour operator:As above, I have used JLA many time and so have my friends with my recommendations. I will continue to do so.

Enjoyable
We enjoyed our holiday to Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. It was extremely well organised with a good standard of hotels. Visiting Machu Picchu was a real highlight.

Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America was extremely professional in the organisation for our holiday to Peru, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. They were very good in organising alternative travel when an unexpected rail strike cancelled our train journey to Puno. Their choice of hotels was extremely good which enhanced the holiday.
