"Awesome Service"

We have travelled with Yampu several times and sometimes to exotic destinations. Yampu was always extremely responsive and really helpful to sort things out immediately. In some places nothing is straightforward but thanks to Yampu we always had an amazing holiday. I cannot recommend Yampu high enough. Thanks Jose!

"YAMPU-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.

"Arctic Adventure - Norway & Svalbard"

My father and I travelled to Svalbard, Norway, this summer. This was our third arctic circle trip in 8 years set up by Monica at Yampu (Iceland, Finland and now Norway), and were each outside the normal Yampu destinations (showing their flexibility). Our itinerary was originally prepared for Greenland but evolved into the Svalbard expedition. Since our interest was in wildlife, Monica made sure that we would be satisfied in our quest for photographing animals--from a remote lodge in Costa Rica, to a remote outpost on the Finnish-Russian border in a bear blind; to a reindeer farm in Alaska; and this time a walrus colony in the Arctic. Yampu mixes luxury and comfort where possible along with a rugged experience that endears you to each location. Every transfer was met, and even small details (like my birthday) were accounted for in surprising way. In a short number of days (9 days total), time was given to visit Oslo and experience the city and culture on the bookends of the trip. Ultimately, after using other travel firms in the past, we will never look back. Yampu is AMAZING!!

"Our travel agent"

Our travel agent, Stephanie, was phenomenal. Not only did she put up with the 7 of us as we worked to plan this trip for months.....she had excellent suggestions and provided superior service and care when making arrangements. She really listened to what we wanted/needed and made sure everything was PERFECT. Honestly, she helped give us a once-in-a-lifetime family experience.

"Egypt and Tanzania"

Our trip to Egypt, Tanzania, and Doha was booked with our favorite travel agent at Yampu, Stephanie! Stephanie has booked numerous trips for our family of 5 and always does an amazing job. After booking trips for us for many years, Stephanie knows exactly what our family needs. She knows every like and dislike for every one of us.
We started our trip off in Egypt and everything booked by Stephanie was perfect. For reasons out of Stephanie's control, the quality of our tour guides in Cairo and Luxor were not to our satisfaction. Our stay in Tanzania was absolutely perfect and amazing! It was truly a slice of heaven thanks to the meticulous planning of Stephanie.
The safaris, guides, accommodations and meals were perfect in every way. If you are looking for a worry free, perfect vacation, look no further, book with Stephanie!

"Portugal & Spain and India"

Two separate covid-postponed trips with Yampu in 2022. Portugal/Spain in October and India in November. I have been traveling with them since 2016, and these are the additional destinations; South Africa/Zimbabwe/Zambia, Cuba, and Peru. A custom trip is worth it, especially if you are trying to maximize your experience at a destination you're unfamiliar with and/or is far from your home. They organize just about everything for you in detailed fashion and your job is to enjoy the trip! That said, since nothing is perfect, the couple of times I have a had small issue, it has always been resolved. Communication is very good. You will likely be amazed with how efficient and relaxing a trip can be when it is put together by a travel expert.

A helpful hint if you're going to be a first-time traveler with Yampu; thoroughly read the draft itinerary they send, and if you see something you'd rather not do, or think of something you want to include, just tell them! It's your custom trip and the beauty of Yampu is they are happy work with you to create the itinerary. :)

"What a easy travel experience"

Thanks so much Yampu Tours for planning our 9 day trip to Peru . We had a wonderful time and met so many great people. We enjoyed the food excursion in Lima it was one of our favorites. We enjoyed trying authentic food and shopping in the Indian Market for many Peruvian textiles and artwork.

The jungle showed us a different side of Peru,it was beautiful but relentless. The mosquitos enjoyed us much, nevertheless; despite the protests and political issues Peru was truly organized, thought-out, and planned well.

We look forward to traveling with Yampu Tours again.

"Superior Service"

We recently returned from another stellar trip to South America, arranged by Stephanie. We really appreciate her attention to detail and her suggestions before we left. This trip involved quite a few tours and long-distance transfers (with excellent and very safe drivers!), in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile, and everything went flawlessly. The guides were so personable and enjoyable to talk to, and all the tours we took were both interesting and beautiful. Our two South America trips this year were absolutely wonderful and we would highly recommend both Yampu and Stephanie!!

"Patagonia 2022"

We took a 10 day trip to Patagonia in Chile and it was wonderful! Everything went according to plan and the choice of hotels was excellent. The staff at Yampu is top notch.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Peru"

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Peru. The guides in Peru took wonderful care of us. Everyone we met was prompt, friendly, and informative. The hotels you selected were first rate. Jose Irauzqui from Yampu provided patient service in working with us to set up and put the itinerary into action.
