First Class Chile & Argentina Trip – Exceptional Help after Accident

March 2025
There are two aspects to our review. The first is that the arrangements of our trip to Chile and Argentina were first class. The itinerary was perfect for our style of travel allowing us freedom to explore. The route and the tours were amazing and the accommodation was ideal in the location and facilities available. Sarah had the timings and the breaks worked out very well (active and rests). The trip gave a taste of Chile and Argentina. We felt safe and well prepared for our travels. The trip planner was a great way for us to track our progress and know the next steps. The second aspect of the review relates to us having to cut short the trip because of Helen's accident. With the information on who to contact in our documentation I contacted the local Argentinian contact to advise them of our situation. The follow through and contact with Remko was reassuring and we felt that we were in good hands to help us get back to Australia. The advice given (as well as the details needed to get our insurance clearance to return to Australia) was essential. It was a complicated exercise and North South Journeys (formerly TravelJust4U) exceeded our expectations in the help provided. We will recommend North South Voyages to our friends. We are very happy with the expertise and service provided.

South America and Antarctica

June 2024
We recently enjoyed the trip of a lifetime thanks to Remko and Sally. Thanks to their specialist knowledge and local contacts we experienced a seamless journey through Peru including a stay on the Amazon and of course visiting the remarkable Machu Picchu. The itinerary prepared was comprehensive and included all travel arrangements such as hotels, tours and flights. A Silversea Expedition cruise is the only way to visit Antarctica.

Another Fantastic Tour with North South Journeys

March 2024
Dear team - Thank you very much for arranging our recent 21 day trip to Central America in September 23. This tour covering Bogota, Panama and Costa Rica was a great experience for the 15 of us who travelled on this wonderful journey. The entire group thoroughly enjoyed the journey, and destinations covered. The Itinerary was thoughtfully put together with a lot of attention to detail applied considering group dynamics, age, fitness levels etc. -it was perfect .The added bonus for the travellers was Remko (NSJ MD) accompanying us on this tour, his help in making sure that everything went along smoothly during the tour was much appreciated by all. The local operators in each country were very good and all the guides we had were very knowledgeable and made sure all the needs of the travellers were attended to. This was our third group tour with North South Journeys and as usual all our expectations were exceeded. So anyone out there who is reading this post and interested in taking that “bucket List adventure“ we strongly recommend that you contact the team at North South Journeys for a chat. You will find them to be friendly, helpful, full of knowledge and above all fun to work with. They are a team of extreme professional when it comes to travel and customer satisfaction, nothing is too difficult for them. Thank you team NSJ Mohan & Santha Tisseverasinghe

Trip to Columbia, Panama & Costa Rica

March 2024
We have recently returned from a fabulous tour organised by Remko & his team at Travel Just4U. We visited 3 countries, Columbia, Panama & Costa Rica. We were a group of 15 people. It was a fabulous experience thanks mainly to the planning & effort put in by the team at Travel Just 4U. The hotels, sites, meals & entertainment enhanced the experiences & added to the overall enjoyment of the trip. The attention to detail as well as going over & above to make sure that everything went smoothly was exceptional. It was lovely to have Remco with us on the trip. Would not hesitate to go on another tour organised by the team at Travel Just 4U. Thanks once again for all the unforgettable memories.

Romania Just4Me!

March 2024
I had my own personal guide whose very first responsibility upon meeting me within the first two hours was to take care of me by getting an ambulance to me. 🤦‍♀️ nothing serious but he took the pressure off me and made sure I was ok. So many thanks Vlad! So his knowledge and ability to turn my itinerary around every time I wanted him to was brilliant. His contacts and superb organisation and planning allowed me to change things around as I felt I needed or wanted to. So Vlad was a great success and so too was TravelJust4U in their organisation of this trip. This is the second time I have used this company and there will certainly be a third! A very professional outfit who tailor activities ( and prices) to the customer’s requests wherever possible. Great job guys. I’ll be in touch. Many thanks.

Awesome and Memorable trip to Central America

November 2023
Travel Just 4U had a briefing session for us, familiarizing us with all what we needed to know, and expect on our tour. Our expectations were surpassed, with all the care and concern that the Managing Director Remko, took to enable us to have a perfect holiday. Our adventure began from Day 1 when we landed in Bogota, Columbia, and the next 21 days, as we travelled through Columbia, Panama and Costa Rica. Each day had something exciting and interesting to look forward to. Our group of 16, had people of similar ages and interests, and all our tours were tailored to suit our interests and fitness levels. Attention was paid to the duration of each tour, so that it would be appealing and educational. Locations chosen varied in climate, scenery, and altitudes, to give us a vast range of the terrain. We covered both coasts and inland. Bogota concentrated on the culture and lifestyle of the people, Medellin into the history, and the revamping of the city, the walled city of Cartagena with its beaches and islands, gave us an insight into a colorful and ever vibrant country. Panama was my highlight, the canal, was amazing. Being in our little boat, was like being a fly on the wall, watching the enormous container ships going through this man-made canal linking two countries. Quite an experience seeing the locks, and the gates opening and closing. The guide was well informed, and ready to answer all our numerous questions. Costa Rica was completely different. The National parks were mind blowing, with their fauna and flora. An unforgettable experience being able to watch the giant green turtle lay its infinte eggs on the seashore. Seeing the sloths in their sanctuary was unforgettable. This detailed indepth itenerary, was tailor made for us by Remko and his team. Attention was also paid to details like cleanliness, departure timings, checking in, variety of menu which covered Central American cuisine. The flexibility with the tours also made it comfortable for those who wanted to relax, or take it easy. I would highly recommend this tour company for either individual or group travel, as their care, concern and attention to their customers is unbeatable.

Trip to Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica in Sept – Oct 2023

November 2023
Travel Just 4U organised a tour of Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica for a group of friends from Sydney and Melbourne. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Everything was well organised by Travel Just 4U and it was a seamless service. The travel team went out of their way to make all members of the tour party comfortable. This was an excellent trip and the managing director Remco extended himself beyond the call of duty to make this tour an absolute success.

Colombia, Panama & Costa Rica Tour

November 2023
Dear Remko & Team at Travel Just 4U. Thank you for organising this Central America tour experience for us both. Visited three countries Colombia, Panama City & Costa Rica. We travelled as a group, all known to one another with common preferences and very supportive of each other at all times. Privileged to be part of such a group. The travel experience in Central America was fantastic. Prior to the commencement of the tour Remko and Team gave us two familiarization briefings, different aspects of the tour was discussed and all questions well answered, this provided us the necessary assurance and comfort that we are in the hands of a competent travel agent who were familiar with the central American terrain. At all locations we were accommodated in comfortable well located hotels within the city limits, spacious & reliable transport, places visited in each country were thoughtfully selected to give us a diverse country experience, polite / knowledgeable / helpful guides with all required assistance adequately provided. Travel Just 4 U team – you gave us a travel experience that we can readily recommend to others and would remain with us as happy memories. A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL AT TRAVEL JUST 4U. Rasa & Shamani

Extraordinary as always

October 2023
Our latest tour experience organised through Travel Just 4u (TJ4U) was nothing short of extraordinary as always, and we owe it all to their remarkable team. In this tour we covered Columbia, Panama and Costa Rica with a group of friends from Sydney and Melbourne as a private tour, which was planned and executed by TJ4U as a huge success from the moment we started planning to the very end. The team led by their Managing Director, Remko, and team members Sally and Sarah provided exceptional service, care, proactivity and professionalism made all the difference. Having that app Trip Plans was fabulous. Any flight delays were immediately notified in the app. Columbia was great, we flew to Bogota from Australia, then domestic flights to Medellin and Cartagena. Equally great was Panama and Costa Rica, TJ4U creating an unforgettable and affordable experience. Remko's in-depth knowledge of the destinations we were interested in was truly impressive, and it was clear that he had taken the time to understand our preferences and desires. Remko went above and beyond by visiting our remarkable destinations personally just prior to our trip to ensure that the hotels suited our expectations and upgraded two hotels. All hotels were wonderful - excellent locations, beautiful rooms with great views and great breakfast to start the day. What made it more reassuring and fortunate for us was that Remko decided to travel with us to ensure our trip exceeded all expectations in terms of both quality and seamless travel throughout. Transportation was coordinated perfectly and we were happy with all the flights, coaches and private transfers. The combination of the above with last-minute rearrangements and knowledgeable local guides at each destination made our trip enjoyable and truly remarkable. In a last minute rearrangement and flexibility to our itinerary, we were upgraded to a visit to an Aquarium in the Rosario Islands and the day to spend at a private beach which we all thoroughly enjoyed. I was worried about my wife having mobility issues due to her Arthritis despite taking a Cortisone Injection 3 weeks prior to the trip but Remko was a cut above the rest in caring for individual needs and arranging mobility aids during our remarkable adventures at every destinations and at all airports. His passion for what he does and his unwavering dedication to his clients truly shone through. Also, Remko's availability throughout our trip, his willingness to address any queries and concerns promptly, and his commitment to our satisfaction added a personal touch that made us feel truly valued as customers as well as travel partners. We have previously used TJ4U on two other trips; a 30 day South America trip in 2019 and a Darwin to Broom Top End Adventure in 2022 and so far all three trips have been meticulously created and made our trips unforgettable experiences. If you are looking for an unforgettable travel experience, I strongly recommend Travel Just 4U - Remko and his team as your go-to travel agent.

Private Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica Tour

October 2023
We have just returned from a trip to Columbia, Panama and Costa Rica put together for a group of friends by Travel Just 4U. (TJ4U) We were very fortunate to be invited along. I understand that there were many iterations for this trip done by TJ4U till the final one that we went on. The team from TJ4U Remko, Sally and Sarah, took care of all our bookings. (Flights, hotels, local transport, tour directors and guides in each country.) Remko travelling with us was a bonus, as he was able to tweak the trip to the group’s needs, which was challenging many a time. Remko added a visit to an Aquarium in the Rosario islands and modified the day to spend it in a private resort, which was much appreciated, instead of island hopping. We had excellent accommodation, centrally located and walking distance to shops and restaurants. At times, some of our fellow travellers had mobility issues. The thoughtfulness and swift action taken by Remko meant that no one missed out on any of the planned activities. This was the second trip we did organised by TJ4U, and, both were thoroughly enjoyable. We have travelled far and wide and have used many travel agents/companies over the years. The personal touch provided by Remko and his team will draw us back to TJ4U for future trips. We highly recommend their services.

Canada & Caribbean Excellence

October 2023
Our long anticipated plan to visit family and explore some beautiful places in Canada and in the Caribbean became a reality – and what a wonderfully organized trip it was, thanks to our travel experts at Travel Just 4 U. From the outset, Remko, Sally and Sarah helped design and book a very do-able itinerary around our major interests in riding the Rocky Mountaineer, and visiting Quebec City and Montreal, interspersed with comfortable stops to visit family in Toronto and Curacao. Even when the possibility of a last- minute cancellation of our Rocky trip due to the Forest fire situation, presented itself, we were completely reassured that the best outcome would be procured for us , and it was all done with seamless professionalism! The hotels that were booked for us were very comfortable, reasonably priced and well located, and all our flights were perfectly timed. I cannot recommend this wonderful travel Company highly enough! Thank you once again, for making yourselves so readily available to accommodating all our requests and for making our holiday a truly memorable one!

Exceptional Round-the-World Adventure

September 2023
What started as a conversation about Central and South America, became a round-the-world epic adventure over 4 months, starting in Peru and Mexico, to North America, Scandinavia, UK and Europe. It would not have been possible without the Travel Just 4U team, many thanks Remko, Sally and Sarah. Their meticulous care and professionalism designed a program that was crafted to our interests of history, culture and walking. Every detail from flights, to accommodation, and emergency contacts was available to us on an App - and the App updated in real time, alerting us to any flight delays or changes to departure gates. Their local partners in Peru and Mexico, guides and drivers were amazing, immersing us in their countries and never tiring of the endless queries about history, culture and politics. At all times, we felt safe in their expert hands. We walked and walked, ate well, slept in great accommodation and had the time of our lives! We will certainly be approaching the Travel Just 4U team for our next trip, wherever in the world it will be. I must ring them for their ideas!!

Superbly Planned Bucket-List Adventure

August 2023
We asked Travel Just 4U to design a trip that included three big bucket list places: the rain forest, Machu Picchu, and Galapagos Islands. And they did it expertly! Their ground partners met us on time at every location to help us navigate transfers, ticketing, and transportation. We trekked the Peruvian rain forest, explored Machu Picchu, hiked Huayna Picchu, and snorkeled around the Galapagos Islands. An epic, stress-free adventure thanks to the whole Travel Just 4U Team.

Exceptional price, flexibility & a memorable adventure

June 2023
Travel Just 4U proved to be an exceptional travel agency that crafted an unforgettable adventure through South America. The combination of exceptional pricing, availability, last-minute re-arrangements, flawless air reservations, outstanding hotel accommodations, knowledgeable local guides, seamless local transportation, and remarkable excursions made our trip truly remarkable. Travel Just 4U ensured seamless local transportation throughout our journey, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the captivating destinations. From airport transfers to private vehicles and comfortable coaches, every mode of transport was arranged with punctuality and efficiency in mind. From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the awe-inspiring landscapes of Patagonia, each destination was brought to life through Travel Just 4U's meticulous planning and dedication to customer satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to any traveler seeking a memorable and enriching experience, and I eagerly anticipate future adventures with them.

Awesome Chile

May 2023
I stumbled on Travel Just 4U while trying to find information on the lunar eclipse tours in Chile. We had a wonderful trip booked when COVID struck. The team re organised all the tours and accommodation two years later. We saw much more of Chile than we would have, if I had arranged the trip. We enjoyed learning from our guides who shared our interest in natural and local history. I would highly recommend Travel Just 4U for a seamless stress free holiday.

Life changing Antarctica

May 2023
We can't thank and recommend Remko and the team highly enough. From our first point of contact I felt confident in all they did. Our trip to Antarctica was the most life changing travel we have ever experienced and this was fully supported by Travel Just 4U. They managed everything along the way and their experience and suggestions enabled us to experience a little more of South America than we had initially planned. I can't wait for them to book our next trip.

Fantastic Peru trip

March 2023
We highly recommend Travel Just 4 U. Their knowledge, expertise and customer service are outstanding. Our 42-day trip to Peru and Galapagos Islands was initially booked before COVID. So we were especially grateful to Travel Just 4 U and their local travel partners for their care, flexibility and resilience during those uncertain years. We eventually travelled in August 2022, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The planning and attention to detail by Travel Just 4 U ensured a highly successful, informative and enjoyable adventure. During our trip, a couple of flights were unexpectedly cancelled by LATAM and Remko and Sarah were really quick to offer help and support to get us on our way. We really valued their assistance at these times. Our trip represented very good value for money. The expert knowledge of Travel Just 4 U ensured that our itinerary included lots of highlights, authentic local accommodation, meals and experiences. As a group of 4, we were lucky to have excellent local guides and drivers, who ensured that we could enjoy our stress-free experiences and gain many insights into local history, culture and environment. We thoroughly enjoyed the Inca Trail and were really pleased to learn that the local trek company Remko, Sarah and Sally had booked seemed more ethical and caring for their staff than some other trek companies we saw on the trail. The day trip to Palcoya Mountain was a highlight, as were our stays in two Amazonas refuges. Plus many opportunities to learning about the Mocha, Chimu, Inca and Spanish civilisations. Although the visit to Lake Titicaca was touristy, it was interesting to see and learn – especially the fascinating history and customs on the Isle of Taquil. In summary, there were so many highlights and we couldn’t have done any of it without the fantastic advice and planning of the Travel Just 4 U team.

Galápagos Islands and Peru

March 2023
Sarah and Remko organized a fantastic holiday for our group of 4. Our original trip was to happen in August of 2020, but the advent of the Covid pandemic meant a reschedule to August 2022. With a minimum of fuss our original plans were put into place and our holiday was a great experience. Of course not everything can go to plan! Our flight from Sydney to Santiago was delayed by two days, requiring Sarah and Remko to reschedule connecting flights. Great customer service. We highly recommend Travel Just 4 You for their meticulous planning and preparation and the care they have for their customers.

South American Extravaganza

February 2023
Remko organized a personalized six week tour to South America in March 2020 which we could not take due to COVID until August 2022 although he was in regular contact during this period, keeping us informed and updating us on details which had changed. We did not know South America except for some of the obvious attractions so he suggested he put something together for us and we could play around with this which we did. Version 4 ended up being the final version and the team was extremely responsive to the suggestions we had made. On top of the normal attractions we were also keen to visit some of the top restaurants in the areas we were visiting (Lima/BA/Santiago/Rio) and the team went out of their way to get us reservations at a number of these as well as arranging for us to visit some of the best wine areas on the continent. In summary it was an excellent experience and lived up to, and in some cases, exceeded, our expectations. Highest professionals, friendly "go the extra mile" are some of the phrases which come to mind to the TJ4U team not the least of which related to assisting me with getting a new passport while I was in South America. From organizing the meetings at the Embassy, dropping me off and picking up the new passport all within 24 hours. An incredible achievement from an incredible team. Thanks guys for giving us such wonderful memories.

Exceptional professionals who go above and beyond.

October 2020
My connection to Travel Just 4 U came about after a glowing recommendation from a neighbour when I expressed interest in going to South America on my own. This was the first time that I had used a travel company such as this to organise a trip as I usually facilitate my own travel. Being a solo traveller in South America with limited Spanish, I wanted to be safe. From the moment I walked in to the office and expressed what I wanted from my trip, till I arrived home, my individual needs were forefront and adapted when situations changed. I added to Remko and the team's work by adding a friend for 2 weeks of my trip and my sister for another 2 weeks. My trip was for 80 days throughout Argentina, Equador, the Galapagos, Peru, Bolivia and Chile with a pre arranged trip to Antarctica accommodated for. Whilst away, flights got cancelled due to political unrest in 2 countries. All of this including new hotels and flight were taken care of by Remko and his team. At all times I felt looked after by the local operators and was given contact numbers to assist with any of my needs. Remko even went beyond any commitment by helping me out with insurance claims on my return. I can not recommend Travel Just 4 You highly enough. I hope that WHEN we are able to travel again (not IF), that any trips I do to South America or Central America can be facilitated by these wonderful people. I'll never be able to thank you all enough for the memories I have.
