-
"Peru trip of a lifetime, exceptional hotels and local guides, attention to detail from Jose. Good as a one-line card"
-
"Dream Machu Picchu trip, no glitches, great value; thanks guide Percy for making the Huayna Picchu hike possible — ties directly to the Day 9 Huayna Picchu option on the page"
-
"Peru trip; parents had done a Yampu Peru trip 15 years earlier. VIP treatment, surprise hotel upgrades, guides “excited to teach”, and relief at handing all coordination to Yampu. Most recent Peru review — good for the “private tour” angle."
-
"Two weeks covering Lima, the Amazon, Cusco and Machu Picchu — exactly this itinerary. Praises local guides going the extra mile and the Yampu team re-routing flights, hotels and guides during a local strike so they still made it to Machu Picchu. Recommends Jose and the team for Peru. Use this one as the featured testimonial."

Stephanie planned our trip to the Rockies and it was fabulous. Everything was so seamless. She picked the perfect accommodations and activities for our family and built in some downtime. Can’t wait for our next adventure!

"Jose planned our Honeymoon to Italy in May 2024. We visited Milan, Portofino, Santa Margherita, Porto Venere, Cinque Terre, Florence, Tuscany and Lake Como. Jose and his team are phenomenal. We really had nothing to worry about. They set up everything. The private tour guides were all very well informed and knowledgeable. Our private transfers were in luxury vehicles with expert drivers, and we were able to rest comfortably. The hotel selections were all in great locations and were perfect. Grand Hotel Portovenere should not be missed if traveling to Portovenere. Jose and his team (Natalia) communicated with us throughout the trip and made everything very easy and smooth. We really appreciate all of your help in planning our perfect honeymoon. Wish we could do it every year! Thank you!"

"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. :)"

This was our 6th vacation using Yampu's services! There is a reason we call Stephanie every year to help us with the ideas and planning! She really leans in to understand our wants and needs on vacation. She is patient and always provides the best communication. Our trip to Chile was excellent! Everything went smoothly from transportation to food to excursions! She works with us and puts in the extra effort to make everything come together. Thank you Yampu, and thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie is the absolute best! We love to spin the globe with Stephanie and see what adventure awaits us and she never, ever disappoints! She always has great ideas, knows exactly what we will like, and ensures that everything is as smooth as possible. I have had to reach out to her a few times after hours (not my preference) and she is always there to save the day. She is a true professional, a great person, and I trust her implicitly with all aspects of our travel. She creates magical vacations that provide us with memories and joy that we will cherish always! Stephanie is the reason why we continue to go back to Yampu each year for international travel. I can't wait to spin the globe again with Stephanie, she is the best!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!

Yampu ... you guys did it again! We had a great time. Thanks so much to you and the entire teams here and there. Both cities were beautiful and the time in each was perfect The hotels you found were in very convenient locations (the Ambassador in Prague was exquisite). Tour guides and drivers were excellent (esp Kveta in Prague who gave us so many great tips on meals, music and sites and Sandor in Budapest) All trains and transfers worked out perfectly And a terrific surprise … Seniors ride subway and trams for free! (Just need a passport in case anyone asks) Only thing was the sprint between KLM gates in Amsterdam! But we made it
