Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

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 clockwork and we saw so much of this lovely country and it's wildlife. Would recommended this holiday wholehearted.

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.

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 .

Journey Latin America obviously has a wealth of experience in this region.

Went on the Seaman 11 boat on a 4 day cruise to Galapagos followed by weekend at Finch Bay hotel on Santa Cruz. Spent a day in Quito en route home to UK. The white Le trip was o garnished but Journey Latin America who did a great job. Seaman was a 16 person Catamaran with excellent guide - everything worked perfectly eg transfers etc and the hotel on Santa Cruz was excellent. We were a party of 6 including 4 vegetarians and all new to cruising . journey Latin AMerida did a really good job at knowing what we wanted and giving us the perfect holiday!

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

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.

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.

Journey Latin America were excellent and would definitely look to travel with them again

Very flexible travel arrangements..able to fly from Manchester via Amsterdam and avoid going through the US. Very varied scenery and places to stay..Panama Canal ,coffee farm tour, an island off the Caribbean coast of Panama, Ometepe Island in Lake Nicaragua, cloud forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica, lots of volcanoes and Spanish Colonial towns. Many border crossings, different buses and changes of currency..all made easy by our superb indefatigable guide who could not have been more organised or helpful. Would highly recommend both this trip and Journey Latin America.

As above

Took all the pressure out of booking and came up with a practical itinerary which allowed us to squeeze a lot into out trip. We stayed at some of the best hotels. Thanks, MaryAnne!

We travelled first to Quito where we gave ourselves a 2-night break before travelling on to the Galapagos. We were on the Galaxy Odyssey yacht in a group of 18 passengers. The cruise yacht was very comfortable with excellent food and helpful and friendly staff. Our guide took us out for walks on the islands twice daily in the early morning and mid-afternoon. We saw lots of animals at close quarters everyday which was an amazing experience. We returned to Quito for another 5 nights staying in the old colonial part of the city. During this time we visited the equator, the Teleficio, the Panecillo and Otovalo. We also enjoyed exploring old Quito with its quaint cobbled streets and spending time in the Plaza Independencia (the plaza grande) where there was always lots going on. We then travelled to Coca to join the Manatee Amazon Adventure cruise. This proved to be a very relaxing and unforgettable experience. Again we were taken out on guided trips twice daily which included two jungle walks. For these trips we transferred from the cruise boat to a monotorized canoe. We visited a village in the jungle, had lunch on in a jungle lodge, and enjoyed the peace and quiet of some of the narrower blackwater rivers watching the wildlife and marvelling at the lush vegetation all around. This was a once in a lifetime holiday which are so pleased to have experienced.

Journey Latin America arranged a bespoke holiday for us accommodating all our requests. They were professional, courteous and helpful throughout. Whilst on the trip we were never without a contact telephone number should we have needed help t any time.

A lifelong ambition fulfilled. Our journey around South America was brilliant visiting Brazil, Peru, Chile and AArgentina. Rio de Jaeiro, Mach Pichu, Valparaiso and the wine lands of Argentina all came to life. A particular highlight was Iguasu Falls which were awesome. A months journey could have been two. Just an amazing experience.

Journey Latin America fulfilled all their promise and delivered amazing guides, perfect transfers and amazing sights !!
