Ecuador and the Galapagos

A wonderful trip to Quito, the Napo wildlife centre and the Galapagos on the Grace. All completely wonderful - mind blowingly beautiful!

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.

Spirit of Colombia by Timmy, 16 Mar 2016
Holiday Rating:

A varied tour of Colombia.

A good holiday, which was well led and guided, but let down by poor accommodation in several locations.

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

Signature Chile: Atacama by Happy Camper, 9 Mar 2016
Holiday Rating:

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.

Costa Rica Wildlife Adventure

We travelled around four areas of Costa Rica; the Atlantic Coast at Tortuguero, the Pacific Coast at Corcovado and the central belt at Arenal and Poas. Journey Latin America work with Costa Rica Expeditions who know the country and it's protected areas well. This partnership runs like clockwork and we were able to see so much more than we could ever have done without their expert organisation. The guides were fantastic. Everything went like ...

This partnership runs like clockwork and we were able to see so much more than we could ever have done without their expert organisation. The guides were fantastic. Everything went like clockwork and we saw so much of this lovely country and it's wildlife. Would recommended this holiday wholehearted.

Rating for tour operator:

Knowledgeable, patient and reassuring. The whole team are involved and anybody you speak to can help. With a big holiday this is so important. Phones are answered promptly and emailed responded to quickly even if your own correspondence is out of the office. Can't recommend Journey Latin America highly enough.

Central America discovery by Magnet, 7 Mar 2016

Discovery tour

It was 3 weeks tour of Central America. It was classed as a Discovery tour which essentially was a 'no frills' tour. An excellent experience .

Rating for tour operator:

See remarks above. Journey Latin America organised everything brilliantly. We were met at each airport , hotel etc. Transfers worked really well. Guide on the boat was excellent and the whole boat experience was great. Nearly had a disaster when one of our part lost their passport in the USA before the holiday started and had to re route home not via the USA because of his temp passport. Hannah Waterhouse at Journey Latin America sorted it all out for us quickly and without fuss!

From Lima to the Amazon to the Sacred Valley to Machu Pichu to Cusco. Then Buenos Aires and finally L'Auberge @ Punta del Este. A mixture of sights, culture, outdoor , city buzz and tranquility

Met all our needs when designing the holiday. Listened to our concerns and came in on budget. On the " ground " all flights, transport etc worked. All hotels met expectations( often exceeded )and all the guides were of a very high standard with good to very good command of english

Cuba beyond the beach by MJ, 28 Feb 2016
Holiday Rating:

Journey Latin America Paraqueet [Group tour (10 people) touring Cuba]

Excellent trip which went smoothly due to the guide's ability to 'work the Cuban system' and quickly iron out issues which arose with hotel bookings, etc. [as happen in Cuba]. Seeing Cuba a bit off the most beaten track and experiencing the food, culture, history and political system made for a very interesting holiday.

Excellent customer service beforehand. Good pre-trip information etc and excellent guide and driver throughout. Journey Latin America are very much on the ball during the trip itself with good ongoing communication between the guide and the head office.

Amazing well organised trip to nicaragua

The itinerary was excellent and very well thought through. The consultant listened to what I wanted and made recommendations based on this and clearly knew the countries well.
