I returned home safe and sound on Sunday. Thank you very much for organizing a most successful overland trip through Central America. I am thinking seriously about a third overland trip through South America in the next year or so. Thank you again for arranging a very successful and most enjoyable itinerary. I will contact you again in the next couple of months about similar trips through South America and the Caribbean.

Kind regards

We were very happy with the trip. Vouchers worked well. All Hotels were fine and as expected (3 star). Guides were very helpful, accommodating and friendly. I would refer others to you.

Hi! I had an excellent trip. Loved all the wildlife, the people, the country side, and the beaches. I was truly sad to leave and have found a special place in my heart for the beautiful country of Costa Rica!

I am very pleased with the services provided by Yampu on my trip. I was impressed with the selection of Hotels and activities that were scheduled. I felt that my trip was well balanced with a good variety of scheduled activities and some free time to explore on my own. All the tour guides were very knowledgeable and personable. On the last day I forgot my purse in the van from Manuel Antonio to San Jose. All I had to do was make one simple phone call to the agency and the driver returned with my purse. That wouldn’t have happened had we been on a Taxi or Tour bus. This is a second trip I take with Yampu and if I plan to travel to Latin America again, I will use Yampu! Thank you so much for helping me have an amazing trip in such a beautiful country!

The trip was absolutely fantastic. Everything from the pack that was sent to us before the trip, to the vouchers which had all the pickup times before hand. The guides were really good and always on time. The hotels were great. So the whole thing was brilliant. Thank you so much for organizing this for us!

Costa Rica did not disappoint! It is truly a lovely country, with much diversity, and beautiful wildlife. El Silencio Lodge (food outstanding) was magical! Our tour to Mistico Mountain with our guide, Andre, was awesome. We also loved Finca Rosa Blanca. Our tour to Arenal and Tabacon was also spectacular … our driver, Hernon, went off the beaten path to show us more of the wildlife, where we spotted our first Toucan and monkeys.

The last hotel, Hotel Issimo & Suites was very nice, with wonderful views and nice room décor. We did the Zip Line Tour in Manuel Antonio Park, which my husband loved, but I did not like so much due to becoming more fearful of heights. In any case, it was enjoyed by everyone on the trip, so I was in the minority :). Our best dinner in Manuel Antonio was at the Gaia Reserve, but the rains were heavy at times, so the view was obstructed, unfortunately. The Hotel Issimo had good food, too, and was reasonably priced we thought.

All in all, our experience in Costa Rica was “Pura Vida!” The timeliness of the drivers shepherding us to and from the different provinces went very smoothly. I would definitely recommend Yampu Tours to all my friends!

Parador Hotel is certainly a beautiful hotel and quite luxurious. We didn’t have a room with a view, but I’m sure those with an ocean view are wonderful. What a romantic place to get married.

The weather has also been fabulous since we got to the beach area. Thanks again for arranging our plans. We enjoyed Club del Mar so much that we changed our last night to stay here. What a sunset! Hate to come home tomorrow.

Sorry for the delayed response — it’s taken me a while to adjust back to “real life” after my amazing trip! The vacation was incredible. I saw so many interesting and beautiful sights, learned a lot from the guides, and met some great new friends. I’ve never done the organized tour thing before, but it was really nice to have everything taken care of in advance. And I got a great mix of sights with Arenal, Monteverde, and Manuel Antonio.

Thanks again!

I just wanted to say thank you for putting together our quick trip to Costa Rica! Even with not much more than 48 hours, you all managed to give us a trip that couldn’t have been better!

Please feel free to use us as a reference. I’ve told everyone how great Costa Rica is and how you put together an organized, fun trip on the spur of the moment!

We had a fantastic time, thank you so much for organising a marvellous trip!! The trip ran so smoothly and was so well organised, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Yampu- in fact we did to many people on our trip!

Everything ran very smoothly, all of the accommodation was of a very high standard, and the people were some of the nicest I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to go back to Costa Rica!

Thanks again, and we’ll be in touch soon to plan our next trip!

Our trip to Costa Rica was amazing and very well put together. Can’t say enough for everything. Being a travel pro myself, I know what is good and what isn’t. Everyone involved from start to finish were great and all details ran as smooth as ever.

Thanks to everyone involved for a job well done.

Hola Chris. Sorry, it has taken a while to get back into the swing of things. The trip to Costa Rica was wonderful! Everyone was friendly and helpful. I seemed to be unusual to be traveling alone. They made sure that I was taken care of and able to see all the sights. I had some special experiences I will never forget and am glad I had the opportunity. Got lots of pictures.
