After initial communications, Maggie at Yampu developed a custom itinerary for Peru and Bolivia that was well planned and then, during the trip, seamlessly executed. Great local guides and drivers, comfortable accommodations within my price range, and excellent meals when included. I will definitely turn to Yampu again for future South American travel.

Yampu is fabulous. They're attentive, timely and professional. I highly recommend Yampu. Why look elsewhere when you can have it all here?

My wife and I have had an excellent 3 weeks Chilean/Antarctica holiday through Yampu Tours. The great experience started in early Feb this year. We originally tried to book the same holiday through another company but was greatly disappointed when it fell through after the company failed to secure the Antarctica XXI bookings. In step Karolina Guilkapi of Yampu Tours, who managed to secure a cabin on Hebridean Sky for us. This saved our trip as the Antarctica experience was a must for us. We had originally wanted to stay at the Hotel Las Torres Patagonia but it was full and Karolina booked us into Ecocamp Patagonia. This turned out to be one of the highlights of our tour. The photos we took of Ecocamp were the envy of our friends who have stayed at Hotel Las Torres Patagonia in earlier trips. A month before we set off, our plans were thrown into disarray due to the closing of airports in Buenos Aires as a result of the G20 meeting. Karolina and her team reconfigure our itinerary and made all the necessary arrangements in order that we could proceed. Throughout the trip, all the pickup and transfers from airports to and from hotels, tours, etc. were faultless and stress free. We encountered a small hiccup early in our trip when my wife was put on the waitlist for a flight (despite full confirmation and payment). Karolina swung into action immediately and everything turned out fine and we did not encounter any issues subsequently. Thank you Karolina and Yampu Tours for the wonderful time my wife and I had on our vacation.

The trip was seamless in every respect. The hotels, guides, food and itineraries were tailored to our tastes and we loved every moment. Thank you Yampu team -- we had a fabulous adventure in Colombia.

Working with Karolina Guilcapi and her team over the years always sets us up for success as a travel agency. Her care and dedication to each of our queries, and Yampu's trusted and experienced tour partners always result in an exemplary custom itinerary and experience for our clients.

I have had the pleasure of working with Karolina with Yampu for years on multiple complicated itineraries. Karolina knows her product and always seems to provide the right fit for the client. Yampu has great resources and fantastic guides. Would highly recommend.

A perfect trip from start to finish. Each country, each lodging, every event was well planned and thought out. The service was impeccable. My trip was to Africa and I feel that what we did was a true representation of the countries we visited. As a traveler, every detail was handled for me and my group. Thank you Yampu and Carolina

Traveling to the Andean plateau of Peru - specifically Machu Picchu, Cusco, and Lake Titicaca - has been high on my bucket list. I didn't want to go with the herd; I didn't want to go alone. Yampu customized the perfect 10-day tour for two friends and me: we experienced Peru, we didn't just see it. The Yampu tour to Peru included visits to indigenous communities, the opportunity to understand local history and customs one-on-one. Each one of our guides was knowledgeable, very flexible and responsive to our questions and requests. As they spoke Quechuan as their "first language" we felt even closer to the local communities, not just tourists passing through. Peru was my second trip with Yampu but far from my last. As a "baby-boomer" traveler, Yampu makes travel a pleasure with an end-to-end customized luxury. Yampu was nimble in response to the unexpected. When my friend forgot some clothes in a hotel room drawer, Yampu representatives arranged for the package delivered to the next destination. The schedule - at times a bit complicated - was executed with perfection. It was always so great to see a smiling Yampu representative greet us at each point in the itinerary, from airport pick-up to delivery at trip's end. I loved winding up in Lima - it confirmed the paradox of Peru - at once very modern and "hip" together with an ancient culture and deep connection to the natural world. One last thing; the "hard-copy" itinerary from Yampu, including trip tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping guidelines, was invaluable. Mine is dog-eared from use on the trip and now a great reference. I also appreciated Yampu's reading list on Peru. I might add my own find, The Peru Reader, a compilation of essays on Peru's history, culture, and politics.
