“We had such a wonderful experience using this company to travel around China that we came back to them for our Costa Rica experience. John was extremely accommodating to our requests, changing aspects of the itinerary until we had a perfectly tailored experience planned for us… I would highly recommend using the Latin American Travel Company to plan an experience of a lifetime.”

Susan, June 2019.
