Machu Picchu for Mom and so much more!
Karolina G was efficient and available from start of planning till the end of trip. I came back to Yampu to work with Karolina, specifically, after we had planned a trip and then put it off for a few years. I remembered all the hard work she did and how easy it was to work with her. This vacation was a challenge to plan as it included my senior parents and my teenage children. In the past we have done guided tours but we needed something more personal this time. The hotels were perfect. Assistance was available everywhere for my parents who have mobility issues. Locations were great! Every guide that Karolina and Yampu contracted with was knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. We loved them all! This trip was the culmination of 40+ years of dreaming about going to Machu Picchu for my 83-year-old mother. The climb to the viewpoint for the site was quite a challenge for her but with the help of Marco, our guide, and my husband and lots of cheering tourists along the way, she made it! It was quite a moment. We were truly pampered by Yampu and the arrangements they made. There were a few very small glitches, the kind that happen with every trip, but nothing that wasn’t put right immediately Yampu with their 24hour travel assistance availability. One small thing that I noticed was that the hotels in Peru are a little bit lacking in amenities that are common in the US such as tissues in the room and bar soap. I highly recommend planning your specialty trip, a bucket list vacation, or just a getaway with yampu, and especially Karolina if you are looking for a quality product and experience!
