What Our Clients Are Saying
-
"I had the pleasure of working with Karolina to book my Kenya safari. Kenya was magical and the itinerary was pulled off with almost no hitches...and with the one issue (bags didn't make the connection), Yampu was there following up to assure that my bags made it to where they needed to be. We went to three separate areas of Kenya -- each offering a different glimpse into the country and the animals: Amboseli, Samburu and Masai Mara. I thought one safari in a lifetime would be sufficient...I was wrong! Definitely hope to be able to return to Africa."

"beyond my expectation. Super awesome, everything!!! This is my first visiting in South America, so is my friend. For 2 ladies customized trip, we are exciting and kind of worried. Karolina is so experienced and helped us to design the whole itinerary and remotely assisted us when we started our tour in Peru. That is a Wonderful trip in Peru. Any last minute change will follow a super good compensation. We're touched about the gift placing on my last day hotel table, they are 2 framed pictures for both my friend and me. All details are considered, we never worried about being alone, cuz that never happens during the whole trip. It is vital for English speakers in an Espanol speaking country."

"We worked with Jose on our Argentina trip and some details got complicated, as the trip had originally been planned by our sister, who could not go at the last moment. Jose spent quite a bit of time with the remaining two sisters (me being one of them), going over plans, answering questions and making some changes. We were always picked up at airports promptly and well taken care of. Guides were good (some incredibly good, such as Virginia in Iguazu Falls and Roberto in Cordoba). We like traveling with Yampu -- we are not with a large group and on our own at times but have guides when we want them."

"Karolina is awesome!! She planned a fabulous trip for us, and she reacted quickly when the airlines changed a flight."

"Stephanie Rudolph was my agent for a recent trip to South America and she was wonderful, again. She also arranged a southern Africa trip for us that went very well. She was very patient with my initial indecision regarding what I wanted to do and see and with the budget I gave her. My many questions were quickly addressed. The trip itself went very smoothly with very minimal exceptions. After the vacation, she made sure I was reimbursed for meal paid and not taken and for an airline extra charge for baggage. Once again, an excellent job of getting me to what I wanted to do and see in the 5 countries I visited."

"Great arrangements, accommodations, tour locations and tour directors/guides!"

"Wonderful trip to Mexico with Yampu Tours! I went on a yoga/art retreat with Yampu Tours, organized by Monica and would highly recommend their company. From the reservation booking to the day of travel and onto the trip, every detail was taken care of. I was lucky to have Monica, one of the owners, traveling with us and she is exceptional. She never stopped working to ensure the group's comfort and happiness. Looking forward to booking future adventures with Yampu."

"Great boat/accommodations; guide; every member of the crew was helpful and disciplined (without being obnoxious). The food was very good. Our brief time in Quito was great, too: very good guide, driver and hotel. We got a good feel for the city in a day and a half.We will highly recommend working with Yampu if anyone wants to know about our trip."
-
"All our guides proved to be very knowledgeable and gave us their total attention. We felt that we were totally being given the knowledge we were seeking. All our questions were answered promptly and professionally"
-
"Excellent tour. Well organized. Excellent local guides. Some very specific issues I could discuss but are specific to individual guides, accommodations and itinerary. Best addressed with Yampu directly."
