Danpaati River Lodge

Very elegant hacienda in lovely grounds, good food, comfortable room.

JB, Newcastle

Outstanding in all respects.  A good range of excursions and activities.  Excellent dining room.

KB, Esher

Perfect for our needs, a really early morning flight., walk to the check in from the hotel. Excellent choice.

RH, Carshalton

Ecuador is perhaps a most underrated country for a great visitor experience. The people are great and helpful and, for anyone with an interest in the natural world, there is so much variety to see and enjoy.

Absolutely brilliant. We all loved Carla. She was enthusiastic, fun, knowledgeable and incredibly kind and welcoming to everyone on the trip. Nothing was too much trouble and her communication skills were wonderful. A real gem.

SJ, Stroud

Beautiful hotel in idyllic surroundings close to the Chitchen Itza site.  The food was not cheap but of a good quality and they fully understood what was needed for Gluten free meals.

PH, Westcliff-on-sea

Excellent guide once again, Carlos went above and beyond to provide a memorable trip. Larco Museum was incredible and mores because of Carlos, his knowledge and enthusiasm were boundless.

SC, Oswestry

Would definitely recommend!

“Cusco hotel was great and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to others.”

PC, Perth

This was a good value, rewarding, memorable trip.

DBH, Bury St Edmonds

There were so many highlights, but undoubtedly the most memorable part was seeing jaguars near Chan Chich on two consecutive days, and even being able to take photos of the second one. This was the main aim of our trip, having failed to reach Chan Chich in October 2008 because of flooding.

CT, Crowthorne

Met all requirements

“Casa do Ameralindo is a delightful boutique hotel, also excellently positioned right in the centre of the pelourinho, which celebrated its 4th birthday while we were there. Our room (no. 8) was faultless, with a balcony and a view over the harbour. Of particular note are the friendliness and helpfulness of the reception staff and the excellence of the food in the restaurant. We think the quality of your hotel and your room are very important to your overall enjoyment of a holiday; they are, after all, your temporary home and these three met all our requirements.”

PS, Chesham

Not to be missed. Natalie had to persuade us to do this and we are glad she did. We were again helped by perfect weather, but the cruise to the Estancia with close ups of icebergs in the sunlight was beautiful. And then when we took the 4x4 up to the top, the views over the Uppsala glacier and surrounding mountains were absolutely breathtaking - perhaps the most beautiful vista we have even seen. Story and tour of Estancia fascinating by good guide. Would very much recommend taking advantage of the offerings of the on board photographer, even if you have your own good camera as I did. The many great shots of us on a stick including 100s of his shots from Patagonia was terrific value at $40.

CB, Winchester

"Very knowledgeable about all aspects of the trip. Clearly a very experienced leader. Got the balance right between leading nad interacting with the group. Did a lot of work in the background t ensure everything ran smoothly and went out of his way to help."

JR, London

Even for a veggie, this was entertaining!

AS, Frome

Andrea very well informed and attentive to our needs.

MK, Southampton

We were very pleased with the overall package put together by JLA.

AC, Saffron walden

The guide, Holber Tito Vizcarra is is one of the most helpful, well-informed and charming men I have ever met and I cannot thank him enough for looking after us so well.

MP, London

Colombia was superb. A wonderful variety of scenery and cultures, and people trying their hardest to live normal lives and welcome visitors very genuinely

JK, Basingstoke

Fine for our first couple of nights when we were getting acclimatised and had a full day tour with hotel pick-up for one of the two days there. Handy enough for the Metro for exploring by ourselves. Good breakfast and friendly staff.

AM, Lymingotn

Highilght: Watching condors rise on the thermals in Sondondo.

RE, London

Highlight?: Santa Clara - fantastic accommodation and very memorable tour of city, Che mausoleum etc. The tour of Cienfuegos thanks to a wonderful guide (Sara(h?)).

JM, Dorking

Wonderful views. Spa area was very good. Helpful staff. Room was good size.

DB, London

We particularly liked this charming little hotel.

RN, London

Lovely views

"Very friendly and helpful, lovely views."

AG, Manchester

Iguazu falls: “Just breath taking; literally left us speachless which was quite a rarity and the guide, Zig was superb!” 

KD, Lewes

Guatemala is just a lovely country coming to terms with tourism. However the hotels (except the quality in Coban) were beautifully maintained and in wonderful locations. The sites we visited were wonderful and the stay at Chiminos Lodge was an experience of a lifetime.

P

The Patagonian steps in Argentina was mesmerising, be it the colour of the skies, the lakes, grasslands or mountains.....horse riding along part of Lago Argentina on the estencia was magical. 

PY, Hendon

"Superb hotel"

BS Bagshot

Best part: “Standing looking over Machu Picchu (an ambition of mine for 40 years) but also the trip into the rainforest, a fantastic experience.” 

LN, Leatherhead

A well thought out tour with a good balance of culture, scenery and larger towns. The tour leader was excellent and the local guides were friendly and knowledgeable with great enthusiasm for their subjects. Good value for money and would have no problem with recommending JLA and will almost certainly use the company again.
