Superb insight into a very different culture.
Wonderful tour. Very well organised. Fantastic guide. Loved the variety of what we saw. Also, staying in two casas particulares we had chance to really meet local people. Enjoyed the vibrancy and colour of Cuba. We toured the western half of Cuba staying in Habana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos,Las Terrazas and Vinales. We also took a few days extension to Cayo Levisa.

Wonderful tour. Very well organised. Fantastic guide. Loved the variety of what we saw. Also, staying in two casas particulares we had chance to really meet local people. Enjoyed the vibrancy and colour of Cuba. We toured the western half of Cuba staying in Habana, Trinidad, Cienfuegos,Las Terrazas and Vinales. We also took a few days extension to Cayo Levisa. We finished with another night and some sightseeing time back in Habana. All the excursions were really good. We had a wonderful walk in the Escambray mountains with a local National Park guide leading. He was so knowledgeable. Similarly the guide who took us on a birdwatching walk at Las Terrazas. A really superb two weeks.
Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America are a brilliant company. Their staff are so helpful and friendly whenever you ring up with queries etc. In Cuba the guide (local) was excellent. She knew so much, had so many contacts and took us to so many places which added greatly to the overall experience. She knew wonderful places to eat as well as having contacts such as a tobacco farmer who let us see the drying sheds on his farm.The value added was fantastic and gave us a really good insight into the country.Everything was very well organised. For example: when we had a few days independently at the end the taxis met us at the right time etc. Our tour consisted of ten travellers plus the guide. This was a lovely number. Not too big a group, but big enough. This company not only met our expectations, but exceeded them.
Good introduction to countries, culture etc. with excellent leadership
Well organised, comprehensive, sensitive to local cultures, with an excellent guide

Excitement and adventure in safe and experienced hands of JLA.
We recently travelled with JLA on a trip across six countries of Central America covering 3000kms in 24 days in 11 hotels using various forms of transport but with one superb and very experienced, professional and yet warm and fun tour leader - without whom we would never have made it past our first stop of Panama City!

Rating for tour operator:First rate in every respect - if only more operators got it so right.
From gauchos to geyers, from mountains to moai - South America has it all.
Starting with a night at the Rio Carnival and ending with sunrise over the statues of Easter Island, we experienced the variety and cultures of Brazil, Argentina and Chile. Drenched by the humidity of the Iguazu Falls, frozen at the geysers of the Atacama Desert and thrilled by climbing to the Three Towers of the Torres del Paine, we danced tangos in Buenos Aires, sipped pisco sours in Santiago, and stepped back in time in Chiloe Island.

Rating for tour operator:Thorough and helpful, JLA know all there is to know about South America. Their tours have been planned to suit budgets and interests but, as each client has their own particular interests, JLA can provide tailor-made itineraries too.
Fantastic trip. Could not possibly have achieved everything we did in the time period if we had travelled independently.
Peru. Lima to Cusco to The Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu to Puno to Lake Titikaka to Lima to Paracas to Lima.

Rating for tour operator:A perfect and completely smooth running holiday despite many locations and flights etc. Everything was perfectly arranged and happened seamlessly. Journey Latin America and their representatives could not have been more professional and charming.
A varied tour of Colombia.
A good holiday, which was well led and guided, but let down by poor accommodation in several locations.

Rating for tour operator:Journey Latin America were organised and efficient. The tour leader was excellent and most of the local guides were very good.
Authentic and Comprehensive
Weaverbird Colombia with JLA - Expert tour leader coupled with expert local guides meant this comprehensive tour really got us to experience an exciting and unknown destination. The small size of the group compared to many holidays and the lack of other tour operators around only heightened the enjoyment.. JLA organised a requested tour extension expertly and modified our request to improve the trip further. GREAT value for money

Excellent visit to Chile
It was a wonderful holiday. The itinerary was well put together and attention paid to details. Great hotels, generally very nice meals when these were included, interesting excursions, all fees included and good guides. We really enjoyed our time in Chile and would definitely book another holiday with Journey Latin America.
