Great Honeymoon to Morocco and Spain!

Reviewed By Ian & Meredith - Romeoville, IL | Traveled to Morocco ~ Africa
Yamonee was great to work with. She helped us from start to finish and got us everything we asked for in our honeymoon well within our budget. We knew we wanted to go to Morocco for adventuring and then to relax on the beach somewhere. We had a great time riding camels into the desert in Morocco and ended up on a beach in the south of Spain for our last few days. It was an amazing experience and we will definitely be working with Yamonee again on our future travels.

The easist way to vacation!

Reviewed By Kaili and David Kaminski - Elmhurst, IL | Traveled to Punta Cana ~ Dominican Republic ~ Caribbean
Yam has planned two getaway vacations for my husband and I this past year. First was a trip to the beautiful island of Dominican Republic in April of 2017, she suggested a resort based on our interest, and guided us towards options that fit our budget, and the way we like to relax while on vacation. We had a blast, we fit it in our budget, and we honestly didn't have to think of a single thing, as she took all the hassle out of the planning. We were so thrilled with our trip, that when it was time to plan a late summer quick getaway, we called her once again. Not having a location in mind, she selected a few options that fit within our budget, and our interests. We were so impressed with her ability to take the planning off our shoulders, match us with the perfect vatations, and helping to make sure we were completely taken care of from start to finish, that our late summer getaway was completely relaxing.

We can't wait to engage Yam once again for this year's family vacation

Off-the Beaten-Path

Reviewed By SM - Ontario, Canada | Traveled to Alaska ~ USA
I like off-the-beaten-path experiences. I encountered that while traveling with Yam prior to a cruise from Calgary to Vancouver. Our driver discussed where to go from lunch, and he recommended a quaint family-owned restaurant in Canmore in Alberta. It was surreal looking at the snow-capped mountains and the sun beating down on me and my lunch, unforgettable memory. The rest of the trip was just as good.

Nothing was too much for Yamonee and she, catered to our requirements perfectly, very hardworking and she wanted to make sure that this trip was the best and she wanted everyone to just have a great time.

Stress-Free, Well-Planned, overall Amazing Trip!

Reviewed By Sherry - Chicago, IL | Traveled to South Africa ~ Africa
My Study Abroad was in Johannesburg and Cape Town. However, I asked Yam if I could get to Johannesburg a few days before my group so I could adjust. Yam did more than that. She planned a 2-day layover in Dubai, and I arrived in Johannesburg before my group!
As an African American woman traveling alone, I had some concerns. Yam provided me with step-by-step information about my flight and airline and arranged airport pick-ups, hotels, and excursions. She advised me on navigating through TSA and sent me information on Dubai, Johannesburg, and Cape Town. She told me I could call her if I had any issues during the trip. That was so reassuring. Yam also sent me excursion information, which was so much fun. SHE MAGICALLY WORKED IT INTO THE ITINERARY once I figured out what I wanted to do!
She is so knowledgeable and helpful about everything travel! She patiently answered my questions and concerns as if I were her loved one.

Reviewed By CB - Minneapolis, MN | Traveled to Europe
I booked a Europe tour with Yam Global Travel. It was a seven-day cruise on the Rhine River, visiting London, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Rome, and Switzerland, where I spent most of my time.

The experiences Yamonee earned in her travels through Europe helped me navigate Europe problem-free.

Best family cruise vacation!

Reviewed By S.E. - Oak Park, IL | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
We didn’t know what kind of vacation to take with our two teens. Enter Yamonee! She suggested a cruise vacation. She knew exactly which staterooms to book to enjoy the trip while still saving money. The rooms were on the best part of the ship and quiet.

The choice of a cruise was perfect! The cruise had more than enough food selection to satisfy picky teen eaters. Both kids had a blast with free cruise ship activities (surf simulator, pickleball, laser tag, the gym, an ice skating show, and attending nightly movies by the pool). Since Yamonee has a lot of experience traveling, she knew about all of these.

We appreciated Yamonee’s attention to detail, too - she was in touch with us on first day of sailing to check on us and on the day of departure she even let us know that our return flight had been delayed. She ensured that our vacation was as smooth as possible. We highly recommend Yam Global Travel for your travel needs.

Reviewed By Rich & Mike - Memphis, TN | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Ms. Yam put together an epic father-and-son trip to the Camino de Santiago, requiring planes, trains, automobiles, and about 100 km of shoe leather. We didn't speak Spanish, but I felt confident knowing Ms. Yam was available if we needed assistance. She was in touch with us daily - almost as a friend, vicariously walking the trail with us. She had arranged everything in advance for us with the tour company, the luggage was ported daily, and hotel reservations were in order as expected.

Working with Yamonee was so easy and amazing, I’m so lucky I found her. She helped me plan a wonderful family trip to Egypt visiting Cairo and Luxor after leaving our safari in Tanzania. She arranged all of our tours and flights and even checked in with us multiple times while we traveled to ensure everything was going as planned. She booked us with an amazing tour guide (Ahmed Taha) with Safina tours in Egypt who truly helped make our trip. I had initially started working with a larger commercial travel company who kept pushing their agenda and not hearing what I wanted. From the first time I spoke to Yam she really listened to what I wanted in a trip. I appreciated her flexibility to create a wonderful tailor-made trip for us.

A Granddaughter's Dream Vacation

Reviewed By Dianne - Chicago | Traveled to Galapagos Islands ~ Ecuador ~ South America
Yamonee is the best travel agent ever! She pays attention to every detail and tailors her trips to the needs and wishes of her clients. In this case, the trip was planned as a gift for my 10-year-old granddaughter, a born naturalist whose #1 dream was to visit the Galapagos. She knew every creature she wanted to see and Yamonee planned a trip that made sure we saw them all.
There was a guide to meet us at every stage of the adventure, the perfect amount of "down time" to do our own exploring, and the accommodations were excellent. When I became ill we had to cancel one leg of our trip, which incurred medical expenses and required me to book a hotel that was not included in our package. Yamonee stepped right in and filed the insurance claim to reimburse me for the extra expense. I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you, Yamonee.
