GBOur guides were great Our guides were great, I’d say our guide for Thailand, we only met once in the way from the airport, she was nice but slept the entire drive which we thought was not appropriate. We loved all the places we went and stayed. We did feel that for the price we should have had nicer hotel accommodations. Not the hotel itself but the room we were booked. The itinerary does note standard but prices in Thailand and Bali are extremely low so we would have expected some upgrades at least. We loved our trip, loved the country, not many issues with flight air etc.

GBYampu made a very complex trip easy! We just got back from a three week private tour of Ecuador, Peru, and Chile that involved 12 flights, 9 hotels, two trains, and countless buses and trains. Every single aspect of this challenge was executed without a hitch. To make things even more challenging for them, we have very defined preferences for accommodations and activities. Maggie and Yampu did a fabulous job picking properties that provided us great variety while remaining true to our tastes and tolerances. Their onsite guides were all very good, too. I look forward to the opportunity to use them again soon!

GBYampu Tours delivers above expectations! Jose's team at Yampu Tours delivered above and beyond for our trip to the Galapagos! Incredibly detail oriented, very communicative and helpful before, during and after the trip. We knew exactly what to expect, where to be and how to contact someone if there was an emergency. Their guides kept us safe in addition to providing wonderful information about the local culture and our program. We had several issues come up and Jose handled them extremely professionally and helped to fix these issues which were caused by third party operators (cruise and airline). When I had my return flight canceled due to civil unrest, he got on the phone with me late at night and helped me make a plan to safely return home without delay. I trust Jose and his team completely. We had an unforgettable experience and a big part of that is the quality delivered by Yampu Tours. They went beyond my expectations!

GBWonderful Vacation in Colombia! Just got back from Colombia and had an amazing time - such a beautiful country! Our personal guides were wonderful, knowledgeable, generous, and accommodating. They were not just guides, but also became friends. This was our first trip through Yampu post-COVID and the quality of the vacation programming was perfect. Steph Rudolph at Yampu is just the best! She created an incredible, once in a lifetime vacation that met all of our needs - it was well paced, fun, and made sure that everything was perfect for us throughout! She is the absolute best and never disappoints in the vacation she plans for us! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

GBYAMPU-MY TRAVEL AGENT FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS! I first booked through Jose at Yampu more than 20 years ago (before Yampu was called Yampu).. Yampu arranged Galapagos, Peru, Machu Picchu, Bolivia, Uyni, Isla Pescatore, Casa de Salar, Lake Titi Caca and more for me. I just had them book Peru and Costa Rica for me for December 2023 and Egypt/Jordan/Petra/Israel for me for 2024. Yampu always does a wonderful job and it's so much better than the big group tours with a bus load of people.
