First, we completed a 10-day trip around Peru which was fantastic. We have always dreamed of going to Machu Picchu, and it was wonderful to finally achieve our goal. We even climbed to the top of Huay... Toon meer

The Acatenango Hike was certainly not for the faint-hearted. I found the steep climb and brief overnight stay a bit rushed, which left me wishing for more time at the summit. Although the views were b... Toon meer

I booked a 8-day seven night O trek in Patagonia through this company.
They confirmed multiple times that I would be sleeping indoors in refugios. I paid $4,000 US dollars for seven nights of accommodation only to be put in tents every single night except for the last which I had to beg the team to book me into. Needless to say I got sick on the trip and it was not what I expected .
Bamba is great at replying to emails but not providing the service that you pay for .
Please take your business elsewhere and go with a more reputable company that will give you the service that you are paying for. After all this they refunded me a measly $150 on a $4,000 tour and apologized.
What would have been more appropriate is telling me that there is no indoor accommodation so I could pack accordingly for seven nights in a tent.
I can't even begin to describe how amazing our hike to Machu Picchu was, we did part of the Lares Trek for a couple of days and then the short Inca Trail. It was the perfect combination to see the best of the mountains and Machu Picchu. Our guide Fran was great, and we loved the food that we got along the way, everything was prepared, the camping was awesome, and loved every part of it!

The trip was great, thanks for organizing everything so nicely! We loved Rio de Janeiro, and it was amazing to also visit Manaus and the amazon jungle, and then the Iguazu falls, it was just spectacular! We will for sure come back to Brazil! Thanks for such a great experience.

The program was very full of nature and never a dull moment. Our guides had a lot of information about the animals and the local culture, and it showed in how they presented the information. A very good choice for a person who enjoys being outdoors and in nature.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
We had in general a very enjoyable holiday experience. The group ensured we got the key highlights and assisted with excellent local guides. They all made sure we got the attention we needed and didn’t shy away from answering queries without hurrying us along. As a matter of fact, I would have no hesitation recommending Bamba Travel to anybody doing this type of trip.

They ignore safety!
Nov 2025 • Couples
We travelled in Bolivia by bambatravel and we will never again travel with them.The reason is that they ignored our safety. We had to travel by cheap, dangerous local buses from Uyoni to Potosi and from Potosi to Sucre.It was terrible and dangerous two journeys: No safetybelts for passengers, driver drove overspeed, passed other vehicles when it was forbidden,made video of his driving etc. We asked bambatravel to arrange us a safer bus ,but they refused to do that.Finally we got enough about dangerous local buses and we paid ourselves a flight instead of local bus.
And this was not a budgetjorney,we had paid a lot money for this trip!
Communication with bambatravel was very poor.We had to write several times watsapp messages before they answered to us.
They also gave us false information about hotels.
The worst thing what a touroperator can do for their clients is to ignore their safety.
And that is what they did to us!

W-Trek was tough but totally worth it. Every night we shared stories under the stars. Our guide was fun but also made sure we stayed safe. Can’t wait to do another hike!

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
Being in the Amazon was a totally different world. We stayed in a rustic lodge and took river boats to see wildlife. I can’t believe how peaceful and alive it felt at the same time.

We had ramen at midnight, walked through bamboo forests, and chilled in an onsen. Our Bamba group was the perfect mix of ages and vibes.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
That moment we reached the Sun Gate made all the hiking worth it. Incredible support from our guide and porters. Best experience of our South America trip.

If you want a quieter hike through beautiful villages, go for Lares. Our group was small, the views were epic, and we had time to interact with locals. Very special.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
We had amazing city tours, went to a samba club, and even did hang gliding! Everything was so smooth and well-organized. The group energy made it unforgettable.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
What a wild experience! We saw pink dolphins, explored river villages, and learned about jungle medicine. Bamba took care of all the details. Felt very safe and adventurous.

Unfortunately we had a horrible experience using Bamba Travel for our Salkantay Trek in May 2025.
We booked several months in advance, but when we showed up for pre-briefing (10 hours before we have to leave for the trek) our guide tells us that we have no entrance ticket to Machu Picchu even though it was included. And I mean, that’s the exact reason that you book in advance, because they get sold out. Our guide suggests that we skip a day of trekking to get to Aguas Calientes 1 day before to get the tickets. We got no apologies whatsoever, and had no choice but to do as our guide says since everything is sold out at this point. To get the tickets, we end up standing in line in 6 horrible hours from 3.40am to 10am and then 1 hour more in the evening to collect the tickets. There were no tickets left for rute number 2 and no morningtickets left (the good rute, which we were supposed to have). We got the tickets, yes, but late tickets for rute number 3. This also ment that the train back to Cusco was after sunset, which meant that we didn’t saw all the beautiful views. Complete waste.
The way Bamba handled this situation was completely unacceptable. They wouldn’t tell us where the mistake occurred, and they didn’t offer any compensation at all. Not even told us that they were sorry about the situation. Overall they did not take any responsibility at all, even though it was completely their fault and responsibility.
We CANNOT recommend using Bamba in regards of tours going to Machu Picchu.
The one star is dedicated to our chef who made wonderful food on the trek and the other star is dedicated to our guide, Francisco, who did his very best to give us a good experience.

This was a mess from the very beginning. I bought the tour via tourhub from Bamba travel promising a small group up to 10 pers. Up to two weeks before the tour there were no updates and finally I got an email saying that it will be Amadeo with up to 50 people in the bus. It was a disaster, but there were only two weeks left before the trip and could find no other options. Than it was a mess at the meeting point - no clear organization to distribute people into the buses. The guide was not sure about me participating, told me "I'll check and "it's strange that you don't have a Canadian visa" (I asked the tour operator before and they told I can stay in the US). He communicated in such a way that I thought I would be dropped off. The treatment was as if we are sheep. The bus was old, it broke during the trip and the driver fixed it. The speaker was also breaking constantly. The guide was Chinese and his English was very poor. Also he was not knowledgable at all, mostly keeping silent (70% of the time) and mostly speaking with the Chinese part of the group (20%). It looked like I am not in the US, but in China. The 4-day tour consisted of 2 days with this guide on one bus and 2 days with Sharon on the other bus. They return me to New York for the change, which I was not warned about (the iternary did not mention it) and it was a loss of time. Sharon and the second part of the tour was ok.

We paddled through flooded forests, fished for piranhas, and met a local tribe. The Manaus jungle experience with Bamba was raw, exciting, and eye-opening. Loved every minute of it.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
Our jungle lodge in Puerto Maldonado was amazing. We saw monkeys, caimans, macaws, and even a jaguar print! The night walks and river tours were a highlight. The accommodation was a bit basic, but enough for what we needed.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
We chose the Salkantay Trek because we wanted fewer crowds and more nature—Bamba delivered. Snow-capped mountains, hot springs, and amazing food at the camps. One of the best treks I’ve ever done.

Antwoord van Bamba Travel
As a first-time backpacker, Bamba’s Flexible Travel Pass was perfect. I felt supported but had the freedom to explore. Great value too!
