The Groups department (Classic Journeys & Discovery Journeys)
The vast majority of Journey Latin America’s permanent staff are Latin American experts, dealing with all aspects of travel to the continent.
Of these, eight work specifically with our Group Tours programmes and you can speak to them on 020 8747 8315 or email them at groups@journeylatinamerica.co.uk.
They were Latin American specialists before they joined Journey Latin America: they all speak Spanish and/or Portuguese and have an affinity for the continent and its peoples.
Tour Leaders
Our carefully-selected tour leaders are not conventional ‘couriers’, but actually manage the trip, making operational decisions as well as looking after the welfare of the group. All speak the local language, know the ground from personal travels, and have the kind of temperament that is likely to make a group gel.
Many of them hold academic qualifications in subjects related to Latin America, others have acquired expertise in situ. They will share their local knowledge with you or find out what you need to know. They are also adept at seeking out little bars or quirky museums away from the tourist crowds.
Several of our sales team started their careers as Journey Latin America tour leaders so you may well find yourself speaking to someone who has actually led your trip.
