“Our trek with Bamba in Peru was an unforgettable experience, and Francisco, our guide, made it truly exceptional. His deep knowledge of the area enriched every step of the journey, and he had an innate sense of when to take breaks, ensuring we were comfortable throughout. The porters and chef were outstanding, consistently providing delicious meals and top-notch service. The breathtaking scenery and the peaceful, uncrowded trail made the trek even more enjoyable.
In addition to the trek, we also ventured into the Amazon, exploring Puerto Maldonado. The jungle experience was a definite highlight of our trip, adding a whole new dimension to our adventure. We highly recommend this experience with Bamba—it exceeded all our expectations!”
“I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a small group tour through Yucatán with Bamba Travel, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. The level of organization was impeccable, making the entire journey smooth and stress-free.
Our guide Cesar was truly exceptional. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the region, but he also had a knack for making every story engaging and memorable. His passion for the area was contagious, and he went above and beyond to ensure everyone in the group had a great time.
The itinerary was perfectly curated, offering a wonderful mix of must-see landmarks and hidden gems. From exploring ancient Mayan ruins to swimming in crystal-clear cenotes, every experience was more exciting than the last. The small group size of 8 made it feel like a personalized adventure rather than a typical tour, allowing us to connect more deeply with the places we visited.
What stood out the most was the seamless blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation. Each day was filled with new discoveries and unforgettable moments, yet the pace was relaxed enough to fully enjoy and absorb each experience.
Bamba Travel truly exceeded my expectations, providing a travel experience that was both enriching and enjoyable. If you’re looking for a well-organized, immersive, and fun way to explore Yucatán, I highly recommend booking a tour with them. I can’t wait for my next adventure with Bamba Travel!”
“The worst travel experience in my life!! Do not book with Bamba. They are completely disorganised, unhelpful and a total rip off!
I had to hound them for my itinerary 7 days before i was to leave for Japan. They changed all of my accommodation 2 days after i was already in japan, with NO notification. They changed pick up points with NO notification, so i missed tours. There was no airport transfer as stipulated in the itinerary. They argued with me about semantics every time i contacted them. I have no idea what i payed thousands of dollars to them for”
“What went right is a better question. I received and printed a voucher which had no information different from what I'd read already. There was no local contact information. I was picked up from the airport in Bali and expected to be joining a tour. I realized that we'd be left on our own a lot, but I was completely alone the whole time. I had no idea! I sent a message about meeting the contact person and others on the tour. I also asked about a detailed itinerary. I had no idea when I'd be picked up, no hotel names or addresses so I couldn't arrange activities in advance. When I sent a message, the response I got was that there's be no one from Bamba Experience meeting me. I booked this to meet new people who love travel like I do. Bamba response was that I can meet people anytime I want to. I thought that was very rude under the circumstances. I was told to refer to my voucher which was sent to my e-mail on Dec 4. I felt like I was being reprimanded. I reread every word on my voucher which I received in my e-mail Dec 4. Still no information. The driver who picked me up from the airport asked me for the address of the hotel. I didn't have the name of the hotel let alone an address. Immediately after I checked into the hotel in Kuta after 5 pm, I received a phone call saying that the white water rafting tour scheduled for the next morning had been cancelled and in order for me to join another rafting group, I'd have to pay 250, 000 rupiah more because im traveling alone. When I did the cycling tour, I was asked for my voucher. I gave the voucher I was sent in my e-mail. They wanted a cycling voucher which I never received. I have done so many tours on my own, but I've never had such a disappointing experience as this. Its Christmas and I'll be in my own. I know I can meet people anytime I want and I wanted to as part of this tour. For what I got, I didn't need to book this. I could have hired a driver and just planned a solo holiday. No need for this to even be an option on tour radar. I would never use Bamba Experience again.”
