Thanks for the well planned trip to Equador, which included 2 days in Quito, 4 days on the MC/ Anahi, and two days back in Quito. 5 stars for accommodations and guides; Edison Landetta in Quito and Roberto Quintana King in the Galapagos. I am 75 years old and the hiking and snorkeling were definitely moderate level. The food on the Anahi was healthy, well prepared, and served in timely fashion. Equador is a beautiful country with lovely people. 5 stars for this adventurous trip with great opportunities for photography. Thanks to Karolina at Yampu Tours Marvin J Salzmann, M.D.

Karolina at Yampu put together a fabulous, very last minute trip to mainland Ecuador for my family. The hotels were great, the excursions were varied and a lot of fun, our guide and driver were wonderful, and the entire trip from start to finish was seamless. Thank you!

Yampu tours helped me design a dream tour of Japan for myself and my eighteen year old son, who is off to college next year. They found activities and venues that I had never thought of that turned out to be the highlights of the trip! They made getting around with minimal language skills a snap. Their guides became what I sincerely hope will be life long friends. The hotels were centrally located and friendly, spotlessly clean, and reasonably priced. We had only nine days, but with everything going so smoothly, we were able to enjoy every minute of the trip. It could not have been better. I can't wait for my husband to retire so we can call them again for trips for us together. I especially appreciated how Maggie, my contact person, answered every question within hours of when I emailed it to her. She was helpful in every aspect of the trip. She is a great communicator, and always willing to find special places and activities to fit our interests, such as my son's desire to see the Manga Museum, or my interest in temple gardens. She was flexible, creative, knowledgeable, and always fun to talk to. I look forward to working with her again soon. Katherine Day Reileitner

Yampu always works with me to create the best custom itineraries. I work with Wendy, and count on her to listen to what I am looking for and create the right type of trip. The level of service and attention to detail is awesome.

We were extremely impressed with our guides and drivers. Their expertise allowed us to relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about driving around in a foreign country, especially since we didn't speak or read their language.

Our one week vacation to Belize was everything we wanted it to be thanks to some careful listening on the part of our tour consultant, Emily. We said we wanted to experience things that were unique to Belize and we also wanted some down time at the end of our trip. Our adventures started as soon as we got off the plane with cave tubing in the Cave Branch River. This must have been where theme parks got the idea of a lazy river float, but this is the real deal with stunning rock formations and ended with our first treat of chicken with rice and beans! Delish! Our jungle lodge accomodations (Hidden Valley Inn) were terrific, if a little off the beaten path. The next day's tour of the ATM cave was like no other excursion we have ever experienced. Its a rigorous trek, swim and climb, but well worth it to see this Mayan site. All our guides on this trip were fantastic, but Patrick, the guide for the ATM cave was exceptional. I'm so glad we took a day to visit Guatemala. It was a long day, but Tikal is so beautiful in its enormity and it was interesting to see the differences between Belize and Guatemala. Off to San Pedro for a beach vacation of a lifetime! Emily found us a gorgeous resort (X'Tan Ha Resort) away from town that was like a dream come true. Waking up right on the beach was perfect. We took two snorkeling trips- the not -to be-missed, Hol Chan and Shark Ray Alley tour, but also don't miss Mexico Rocks where the beautiful sea turtles are. Its amazing how quickly one acclimates to swimming with sharks in this amazing reef. Bicycle rides into town, stand up paddle boarding, volleyball, and even some reading time filled our last two days at the beach. I can't say enough good things about Yampu, but what I appreciated most was that Emily helped us plan the trip we wanted. Did I mention that the Belizians are so gracious and proud? We loved learning about their beautiful country and the blend of cultures that make it so interesting.

We booked a 10 day tour of Vietnam thru Yampu tours. We were very happy with the service. We had 3 tours guides at different locations in the country and all of them were great.

Excellent execution while in country and on vacation! Would lose them again.
