Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

Just a fantastic trip of contrasts from Montevideo, Colonia del Sacramento, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Iguassu, Rio and Parati. From the Barrios to upmarket suburbs, to the Falls, to viniculture to colonial towns and then there was Rio.

Everything was organised and ran like clockwork. All our personal difficulties were overcome.

A day in Quito with a guided tour, seven days on the Eclipse cruise boat visiting eight different islands, three days at the Finch Bay Hotel on Santa Cruz, Galapagos, a day in Guayaquil walking on our own. It was one of our best holidays, the absolute highlight being the Eclipse cruise. Exceptional service, fascinating visits to the islands with knowledgeable guides, and very memorable snorkelling. Excellent organisation by Journey Latin America in association with Metropolitan Touring.

Itinerary put together quickly and effectively, modified exactly as required in light of our comments / requests. Timely provision of documentation which was informative and helpful. Very rapid response to request for help when we were on the tour.

A 3 week journey from Santiago to Buenos Aires, taking in the lake district and Torres del Paine in Chile, lakes and glaciers, Mount Fitzroy area in Argentina, topped and tailed with the big cities. Variety of experiences along the way, made most enjoyable by the friendliness of the people, especially in Chile. and the excellence of the food/wine. Walking in the Patagonian landscape gives a real back to nature feel, miles away from the world with only nature to enjoy.

Everything worked, according to plan.

We travelled during three weeks visiting extremely interesting natural areas of the North of Argentina: Esteros del Ibera, Iguazu, Salta & the NorthWest (including an amazing journey on the Tren a la Nubes, climbing 300 metres!) and a most beuatiful and relaxing Estancia in the Cordoba hills.

Journey Latin America (JLA) understood our needs and preferences very well and recommended an excellent itinerary. It was obvious that our JLA representative knew the country (Argentina) well, including the suggested accommodation options. The holiday was a great success.

We flew to Santiago then on to Easter Island for 3 nights, where the arranged tours gave us a really good feel for the island, its history and culture - a truly memorable experience. Returning to Santiago we joined the "Tangara: Blue lakes and emerald coasts" tour. It was an outstanding introduction to South America offering an insight into the iconic sights of Buenos Aires, Iguazu and Rio, along with stays in some less visited places in all 3 countries. Our stay in each one left us with great memories.

Everything was very well planned with a surprising amount of flexibilty in the daily schedule allowing us to see more than we expected. Our tour leader Max was outstanding, working tirelessly to ensure that everybody in the group got the maximum from the trip. Based on our experience we would highly recommend JLA and will certainly seriously consider travelling with them again.

A memorable holiday, with 2 days in each of several locations, all of which gave us a great experience

Great organisation and a fantastic tour leader in Max Wood.

Retirement holiday for my husband. Flew to Buenos Aires and went straight to La Bamba - an Estancia in the Argentine Pampas - the highlight of our holiday - the most amazing experience. Then spent three days in BA at the Alvear Palace - another wonderful hotel - we had a city tour and attended a Tango Dinner and Show. We then flew to Iguassu, staying in the Belmond Hotel in the Brazilian Falls Park - the best hotel of all for viewing the falls. Onto Rio de Janeiro to stay at the Copacabana Palace. Enjoyed Tour of all the sights and Brazilian BBQ before travelling up the coast to spend the last three days in Buzios.

Excellent in every way. listened to what I wanted, made really good suggestions and came up with the perfect itinerary.

Journey Latin America organised a tour of Peru for us which included The Sacred Valley, Cusco, Machu Picchu and a stay in the rain forest. We had an amazing time and Machu Picchu was an incredible experience that we will never forget.

Journey Latin America did a fantastic job organising a trip. From the initial discussions about itineraries right through to hotels, trips and general advice they were extremely knowledgable and helpful and they really made the trip as wonderful as it was.

The Tropicbird tour was interesting, well planned and implemented. It was led by a first rate tour leader Max.

JLA are wll organised, provide interesting tours and have first rate staff.

We travelled to Santiago in Chile, then down to Patagonia and the Torres del Paine, before going into Argentina, glaciers and the Fifzroy mountain range. Finally we flew to Buenos Aires for four nights.

The level of service was excellent throughout from the time we enquired through to our return and beyond. Arrangements were smooth and our tour leader was particularly good, matching our needs and requirements perfectly and in a straightforward manner. We cannot fault the holiday itself. We have been most impressed by the level of service when our first flight (London to Madrid) was cancelled at 23.55 hrs , causing us to miss our connection to Santiago and to miss a day of our holiday. The airline (BA/Iberia) was hopeless giving little information and no assistance beyond a hotel for what remained of the night. We called our tour operator in the early hours of the morning and they provided assistance and support overnight, and contacted us again the next morning to make sure that we were on track. On our return to the UK they have assisted us in our claim for compensation. Much appreciated a nod a professional service all round
