AWARD-WINNING HOLIDAYS TO LATIN AMERICA BY THE UK'S NO.1 SPECIALIST

This is the third tailor-made holiday we have taken with JLA (Argentina/Uruguay in 2004, Honduras in 2014 and Colombia in 2015) and they have all been memorable. Some travel operators are a lot less flexible in adjusting their standard tours to meet individual requirements. We enjoy the personalised service from JLA in London and like the fact that the local agents they use in their destinations know what is expected and deliver. Foreign travel is expensive these days but we feel we have had good service and value for money.

We do don't normally write reviews that contain only superlatives, but this trip was hard to fault.  The whole itinery went like clockwork, and the expedition was breathtaking (out of the world, well almost!)   For one of us this trip was a dream for a very long time.   That almost always means some disappointment, but this trip was the exception.   Well done Journey Latin America. (Travelled to Argentina and Antarctica)

We were very impressed with our first experience of travelling with JLA. We have been to several South and Central American countries before and had underestimated the impact that Mexico would have on us. It had such a variety of experiences to offer, the colour, music, the many different and dramatic archaeological sites and political history. The ethnic mix added to the diversity and the people were all a delight to meet. JLA allowed us to experience this in its selection of places, accommodation, excursions and especially the tour guide. (Travelled to Mexico)

“ We feel fortunate to have selected JLA for our trip. It has proved to be one of the very best specialist tour operators we have ever had the pleasure to use and we would recommend them to anyone planning a trip to South America. From the outset, our consultant, Lina Fuller provided help, guidance and advise using her personal knowledge of our destination that turned out to be invaluable in shaping the trip and making the best use of our time and resources. We have just returned from the most excellently organised, scenic journeys of our lives and we have travelled extensively for 38 years.” (Travelled to Argentina)

“ This was my third trip with JLA and the third time I have had a great holiday. What is really important for me is to have all the travel and tour details sorted out in advance, and this JLA does really well. We are already considering our next trip.” (Travelled to Cuba)

“ Superb and greatly varied holiday which was complex to organise and worked seamlessly thanks to Mary's advice and organisational skills. Will certainly strongly recommend JLA and use JLA again ourselves in the future if returning to South America / Central America..” (Travelled to Chile)

“ Brazil is a huge diverse country with many cultural and historical influences. We wanted on our relatively short holiday to travel around and experience a little of its diversity. Journey Latin America using their knowledge and local representatives put together an itinerary which gave us an excellent introduction and insight. They use local knowledgeable guides who smooth your path and give you a holiday to remember.” Travelled to Brazil

“ We approached JLA with an outline itinerary having looked at some options beforehand, and they very quickly produced a solid itinerary with a few new choices for us. We were able to confirm our booking soon afterwards and found all of their recommendations lived up to expectations during the trip. Ground arrangements in Argentina were pretty much flawless, so we soon gained confidence that each arrival in a new location would run like clockwork. We would happily use JLA for our next South American trip. Thank you.” Travelled to Argentina

“ Would definitely recommend visiting South America with Journey Latin America. Their knowledge and experience mean that all you have to do is turn up at the airport and begin to enjoy the holiday of a lifetime. Whether you join a group tour or have a tailor-made trip, every detail has been thought through and the whole trip is extremely well organised. Thank you.” Travelled to Peru, Ecuador and Galapagos Islands

“ JLA's experience and knowledge mean they are able to put together a tour which meets your exact requirements, which is then delivered making it a trip of a lifetime.” Travelled to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands

“ Travelling with Journey Latin America always makes us feel like we are getting the real thing, not a theme park substitute!” Travelled to Cuba

“Would certainly recommend JLA they helped us reach the parts of our trip that we would have found hard to access and were very flexible allowing us to make our own arrangements for parts of the trip and it worked well” Travelled to Bolivia and Peru

“ We had never used a travel agent to plan a holiday before but the bespoke service we received from Journey Latin America really made our honeymoon everything we had hoped for. Their specialist knowledge helped us tailor-make the perfect holiday for our tastes. We would definitely use them again.” Travelled to Brazil

“ We chose a very complicated itinerary which JLA put together for us with balance and awareness of our requirements. We couldn't fault transfers and helpfulness of guides. Hotels were generally better standard than we were expecting. Would definitely recommend JLA to others!” Travelled to Peru

“ It was great to have every aspect of our trip organised by JLA. Transfers to and from airports and hotels were really useful and took all the stress out of getting around. All of the local guides spoke very good English and were very welcoming and knowledgeable. We would happily use JLA again to organise our next South America holiday.” Travelled to Brazil and Peru

“The Galapagos cruise was memorable in all respects and a real highlight of the trip. The Travel Consultant, Rosie, was superb and got everything right from suggestions on locations and attractions to the timing of the flights. She has a fantastic knowledge of the area and her ideas and organisation made the trip very special for us.” Travelled to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and Galapagos Islands

“I always look at JLA first. Everything seems to be slightly better, food, hotels, guides, overall organisation, and knowledge of where you are or are going to. Would sooner travel with JLA than other companies if the itinerary is similar.” Travelled to Ecuador and Galapagos Islands

“This was our first time to visit South America and finding the right tour operator was important for us. We wanted a smaller operator who could provide a more personalised service - after researching online we came across Journey Latin America who had won several travel awards and earned favourable comments in newspaper travel sections. The lady I initially spoke to on the phone became our dedicated travel consultant who was understood immediately the type of holiday we were looking to achieve and was very responsive to our questions. During the holiday itself we were pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything went - whenever we travelled to a new location we were always immediately greeted by English speaking guides holding signs bearing our names. All the local agents used were very professional, punctual, knowledgeable and friendly. The time we spent in the Amazon jungle was amazing - it was such a unique experience that became the highlight of our trip. Journey Latin America delivered the best holiday we've ever been on and we would gladly recommend them to other people with an interest in South America.” Travelled to Peru

“This holiday could not have been so wonderful without the extraordinary planning & organising by Journey Latin America. We would never had covered so much ground, seen so much and enjoyed it so much without you. Everyone turned up on time, and operated at the highest standards with impeccable service and friendliness. The hotels were excellent. The food superb. BIG THANK YOU.” Travelled to Peru

“My previous experience with travel companies is that they are very helpful until they have your money, and pay little attention to you thereafter. Journey Latin America were completely different. The pre-travel briefing was helpful, but what impressed us the most was that the logistics were organised immaculately. Every time we arrived at an airport/hotel/bus station, we knew there would be someone waiting for us with all the information we needed. That allowed us to get on and enjoy our holiday and make the most of our time. I would recommend Journey Latin America in a second.” Travelled to Argentina, Chile and Brazil

“The whole holiday was memorable and the flow and way it had been planned was excellent - we had a build up that allowed us to visit other parts of peru, acclimatise and take in the history, culture and natural scenery before capping it off with the Inca trail and Machu Picchu!” Travelled to Peru

“Thank you for helping us fulfil a lifelong dream. For future clients - Live the dream!” Travelled to Peru

“We would not hesitate in recommending JLA to anyone planning a visit to Central or South America. For a first time visitor to the area, or for anyone with limited language skills, JLA provides a safe and reassuring way of experiencing the area” Travelled to Colombia

“JLA experts helped turn our plans into reality. They delivered a slick journey through some amazing parts of South America” Travelled to Chile and Bolivia

“We wanted our honeymoon to be something special to remember and Journey Latin America helped us achieve this right from the start when we were planning our trip to Brazil, right through to the perfect holiday. It could not have been better” Travelled to Brazil

“Ecuador was a fantastic adventure: welcoming friendly people, beautiful landscapes and amazing wildlife. To fit in two cities, the Andes, the Amazon, the cloud forest and the Galapagos islands into a 16 day trip on a seamless itinerary was a fantastic solution provided by Sophie at JLA and we enjoyed every aspect” Travelled to Ecuador

“Journey Latin America did exactly what I asked them to do, at short notice. As a result we had an exceptional Easter holiday including Semana Santa in Antigua, when I half expected to be told that I had left it too late” Travelled to Guatemala

We were very impressed with their pre-emptive approach to problems and issues, which were beyond their control, that arose before and during our 6 week trip.

We would have no hesitation in recommending them” Travelled to Brazil,Chile and Argentina
