What Our Clients Are Saying
-
"We had an amazing three weeks without a glitch. Every transfer took place on time. Our activities were conducted by knowledgeable and pleasant guides. That proved true for the entire 21 days. The is the second time that I have traveled in South America under the wing of Karolina Guilcapi. She was always accurate, price conscious, and patient with our alterations. Since returning from Patagonia, I and my travel companions have recommended Yampu and Karolina multiple time. Put yourself in her hands and travel worry free!"
-
"Our trip from Tokyo, Fuji, Takayama and Kyoto was fabulous. Guides were terrific, itinerary was well balanced but packed with things of interest, and the hotels were uniformly very high quality. I feel that we were closely taken care of from start to finish, from transportation to knowledgeable guides, without having to worry about any details. This level of care, and the thought that went into our itinerary, insured a magnificent trip from start to finish. I highly recommend Yampu Tours."

"My wife and I have now been on 3 trips with Yampu. Each one has been amazing. You tell them what you like, what you don't, right down to the types of hotels and if you want to take a cooking class or go horseback riding, hiking, or sit by the pool. They arrange everything from having you met at the plane and driven to your hotel to the private walking tours, private drivers and guides, restaurant recommendations, whatever you want. Prices are very fair and since every trip is customized for you, you can add or remove experiences or services to suit your budget. Not as expensive as you would think either - fairly competitive with any higher end group tour you would take -- but no groups to hassle with. It is a small company, which I love, because I know the people I'm talking to when I call, and I know that everything will be perfect. They really know their destinations and they have boots on the ground everywhere you go. I don't know how they do it, but I'm never planning another trip myself!"

"Yampu was recommended to me by a friend a couple of years ago and I have been enormously satisfied with the two trips that they planned for me over the past two years. The first was a two week trip to Argentina and Chile, with the highlight being the four days we spent in Patagonia. All of our hotels were terrific and our guides excellent. This January, they planned an 8 day trip to both the wine country and the Atacama Desert for two of us . Again, everything worked beautifully, from our transfers, hotels, etc."

"Our agent Stephanie was the best!!! We were going to several countries in Africa and she made sure our trip was safe, comfortable and loaded with lots of fun. We had trusted tour companies and interesting guides. We always felt we were in good hands. Once one of our connecting flights was late and she already knew it and took care of the issue and us! We have used Stephanie twice now. Once in South America and once in Africa. Our trips were fun and so memorable. Thanks Stephanie."
