What Our Clients Are Saying

"I am a very experienced traveler - I never use a 'travel agent'. In general I will explore the area I'm traveling to and just go. Maybe just maybe I book the first night. However, on this trip I'm taking my children and it was short and last minute and although frankly it isn't even that exotic (vs Borneo, Cuba, Russia, the Amazon), somehow I found Yampu. I didn't realize they were more than just a booking agency at first, and I started to talk to Wendy. It was clear from our first conversation they were really knowledgeable and had a great style to accommodate even a difficult independent traveler like me. She spent a ton of time with me. Brought up activities and the pro's and cons of activities, timing, everything that I had not found myself and didn't find in any of the usual exploration tools like TripAdvisor, other big agencies like liberty or apple, Frommers or even Lonely Planet (my favorite). She added great great value! shocking to me actually. So in short she and Yampu are an amazing place to make your trip better vs any alternative I have found. "

"Every guide has been amazing. Very knowledgeable about the country and all spoke great English, which made it easy. All drivers were friendly, amazing drivers! Yampu got us into the right hotels, loved them all. There has not been one glitch on our trip. The whole trip was wonderful thanks to Yampu."

"WOW!!!..... Just had Evelyn on the phone for over an hour and they had an incredible time...... "Very impressed with China and learned a lot! We loved our experience in Tibet. The people are lovely and scenery magnificent. We had very accommodating and thoughtful guides. Very helpful." Flights in China were great and no delays, hotels were awesome, guides were wonderful, tours were perfect and even the train worked out. The 8th person on the train was a young Tibetan woman and they felt safe with her in the compartment. Once again, a total success and very happy clients.... Best and thanks, "

"My son and I, no strangers to travel (South America, the Middle East, Iceland, etc.) enjoy hiking and photography in "off-the grid" locales that are as comfortable and safe as they are exotic. The more remote, the better; the more animal life, the better. So our travel company Yampu arranged a week in Costa Rica that packed a lot into our six days, which provided us with more of a "jungle punch" than, ironically, any of our other jungle experiences--Ecuadorian, Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon jungles. This is because the company's co-owner, whom we met in the Peruvian Amazon, makes it a point of business and honor to travel herself to check out the lodges and hotels. We were confident that wherever we ended up would be perfect for us. So we left everything to her and we were not let down. Every place was wonderful. "

"The best part of safari was just sitting and observing the animals. Hearing them chew,walk, etc. Loved it. Victoria Falls was superb and we like them best from Zambian side. It has certainly been a wonderful trip!"

"Really enjoyed Lake Titicaca, Valley of Moon, dazzling stars at night, Isla de la Luna!! colonial cities and Salt Flats (what a surprise from exterior of landscape to interior of hotel) . . . very memorable trip. Thanks for all your help."
-
"Thank you for all your help with our trip to Cuba. Chris and I had a most enjoyable time. The hotels were very good indeed, especially the Sevilla in Havana and the La Union in Cienfuegos. Our guides were lovely young people with a great deal of knowledge and they were very professional. The hotel switch in Trinidad was acceptable. We were taken to a nice large and quiet first floor chalet flat at Cubanacan Las Cuevas hotel. We loved the excursion to the countryside. The landscape at Vinales was beautiful and we enjoyed our time at the Topes de Collantes National Park. We are nature lovers and enjoyed the walks."
-
"Thank you again for all of your help. We loved the ATM tour, a definite highlight! We had fun on our first dive. "

"While traveling: "We're having a wonderful time. Everything has been great so far. We look forward to every day." Post trip: "We had a fabulous time. It was as near perfect as any vacation either of us has ever been on. I've had several people ask about it, and I am referring them all to Yampu.""
