What Our Clients Are Saying

"We (husband, wife and two children) have been using Yampu Tours for our family vacations since 2015. Brazil, Chile, Peru, Argentina, South Africa, and Egypt are just a few countries Yampu took us to. As you probably have guessed, we have been extremely satisfied with our experience. The itinerary is always carefully designed and perfectly customized to our family interests / needs. The local guides picked by Yampu are the best. We have encountered more than two dozens of them so far and never had a bad experience. They are all very knowledgeable and reliable and quickly became our friends. Yampu has made travel fun and stress-free. From the moment you arrive at the destination airport to the moment you check in your returning flight, you are 100% taken care of. We have learned to trust Yampu completely, so much so that during the trip, we often woke up in the morning at a foreign hotel, having no idea what will happen during that day, trusting Yampu will take us to amazing place and teach us everything about it. So far, we have not been disappointed."

"Yet another amazing Yampu vacation created by Steph Rudolph who is the absolute best! She works tirelessly to ensure that she puts together a once in a lifetime vacation that will exceed your wildest dreams. Every detail is thought of in advance, so the only thing that is required of me is to show up and enjoy without a worry in the world. I have traveled with Yampu several times and each time she creates a truly magical experience, one that is tailored to me and what I will absolutely love. Outstanding service and professionalism from beginning to end. Yampu does not just create a vacation, it creates an experience, a spirit if you will, that is joy, peace, happiness. THANK YOU!"

"Love Yampu Tours and Steph Rudolph!! This is the third time that we have traveled with Yampu and it is absolutely wonderful and the vacations are relaxing, hassle free, and magical. Yampu is great at planning everything for us in advance. We are met by friendly tour guides at the airport, as well as each day for our various excursions. We are provided a private tour guide and driver for each excursion, so we never have to worry about waiting on a group or rushing through the day's events. Everything is on our schedule and planned in advance. It is just the best way to travel. And, working with Steph Rudolph at Yampu - she is the amazing!!! She knows exactly what we like, has great suggestions for us to consider, and times our whole trip perfectly. We never feel rushed or overwhelmed and she takes care of every detail. She is a delight to work with - always on top of things, checking-in, and making sure that everything is perfect. Due to her attention to ensuring a great vacation and her professionalism, we have always had a perfect vacation. We will never travel anywhere without Yampu again. Many thanks to Steph and Yampu!!!

"We had an exceptional trip in Egypt coordinated by Yampu. The guides were very knowledgeable. They took care of everything from the minute we got off the plane, personally escorting us through every step of the trip to the time we boarded to go home. Yampu provided great value and would highly recommend them to our friends"
