Never missed an airport pick up or a connection, the hotels and meals were fabulous, we were upgraded (by them) wherever possible and they seemed to be one step ahead of us everywhere we went." "We wanted to cover 6 countries in one month so it would have been a nightmare if we had to plan it ourselves from Asia. Our Travel Consultant from Yampu put together a great itinerary and gave great advice. She was also extremely patient when we wanted to change things around. All the planning happened over - super efficient. We were very pleased with the accommodation choices, activities planned and the quality of the local tour guides." We invite you to read more of our client testimonials here Many of our highest praises come from client's who actually had a problem while traveling. For example, one of our clients was in Patagonia when a strike broke out on the road back to Punta Arenas. The airport was shut down for a week. Our client was able to reach us on our emergency number at midnight and by the time he woke up in the morning, we had him rerouted a different way, added new exciting tours to his itinerary, and he was able to continue his trip, no interruptions or stress. On the other hand the guest who had booked with a big online company could not reach anyone and they were stuck for a week.
