Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The trip was fabulous, and very well organized. The balloon ride and the guided tour of the historical site were both excellent. From the pick up point in Mexico City, to the breakfast, to the guided tour of the archeological site, through to the return to Mexico City, everything worked like clockwork.

The description didn’t match the experience. This tour is the exact same as the cheapest one that had 16 people in a basket! Don’t spend your money on this more expensive option. Either choose the cheaper one or pay $300 for a smaller group

This was amazing! The early wake-up call was totally worth it to see the pyramids. We flew over the pyramids and landed. The breakfast provided was very tasty for a buffet. Then we had time to walk around the ruins on foot. I highly recommend.

Worst company!!! I have been travelling since 15 years and have been to more than 75 countries now but never came across a company like Bamba, who are total rip-off! We booked the self guided central americ tour with them wherein they arranged our transports and tours which costed us almost 40% extra for what we have paid if we would have arranged this by ourselves. I do expect to pay may ne 15 or 20% extra for the booking they do for us but 40%, complete rip off! On the top of that, they create a tour itinerary which doesn't even mention the grade of the tour (in terms of how tough it is, for example a hiking tour) and when we asked to cancel it, they said not possible and they need a notice of 72 hours! We saw tourists here booking and canceling 30 mins in advance without any issues, however an established company like bamba who is taking huge premium can't help us with this! Completely shambles!
Never use them!!!

Hello, Pooja.
We are sorry to hear that your recent trip with us did not meet your expectations, and that you had a negative experience.
We understand that local prices for accommodations and tours can often be cheaper, however, we provide additional services to assist with trip planning and organization prior to booking and during your trip, along with the use of the platform you booked your trip through.
As per your request, you were following a fixed itinerary, and all bookings were made and paid for in advance. As discussed, we were unable to cancel your services with such short notice, even though some local operators may allow it to their customers locally under different terms and conditions. Nevertheless, we did agree to provide a partial refund for the services you were unable to use due to your delayed arrival, and additionally, we offered a second refund as a gesture of goodwill as you didn't join the hike tour nor stayed at the homestay, even though we did not receive any reimbursement from our local team as they had already arranged your services as planned.
We also accommodated changes to your itinerary upon your request on the last days, which went smoothly, as well as the included transportation and tours, which we hope you enjoyed.
We regret that you did not feel that our services were worth the price, and we take all feedback seriously to continue to improve our offerings.
Kind Regards.

Bamba - I booked a trip through this company to Japan. and it was nothing but a frustrating experience and a complete rip off. I specifically paid extra and booked the trip to be in 3 star hotels and they set me up with all dorm/hostel rooms. I had to wait a very long time for booking confirmation (but they were quick to take my money) and I had to make requests about giving me my itinerary, which only came just before I had to depart. They then changed the itinerary after i was already in Japan with NO proper notification, which meant that ALL accommodation was different, tours no longer existed, meeting point for transport was completely different, they lied about there being airport transfer. they did not adequately explain the use of train tickets, despite being queried about it

I can honestly say that it exceeded my expectations. I was kind of nervous the night before thinking if I made the right choice☺️, and definitely I did!! The service, the people, the expertise of the pilot made me feel secure and comfortable since the beginning. At the time was perfect, because we were flying at 6:30 am, right to see the sunrise. The pictures I took were amazing.
Transportation was right on time, they picked me up at 5:20am. After the ballon ride I knew we had a buffet breakfast and it was so good😋!!!!!! They had conventional breakfast and regional breakfast to choose from! That was great! And they surprised us with Mariachis 🎼
After this amazing experience I went with them to the pyramid and it was also very well organized. It is a very complete tour and I am so pleased with it that I would recommend it a million times!

This was a fantastic experience. We sailed above the pyramids. It was my first time in a hot air balloon, and I was completely comfortable. After the hot air balloon, we had breakfast and were treated to a Mariachi show. The gentlemen was very entertaining. After breakfast, we toured the pyramids, which were beautiful, and our tour guide gave us a detailed historical account. I highly recommend this trip.
Here are a few things you should know:
They will pick you up from your hotel. The people in your van may not be the people you will take the tour with.
Bring some form of personal identification.
The check-in process was confusing for me, but it all made sense. They are well organized. Just go with the flow. GO WITH THE FLOW!!
Bring two types of clothes: cold in the morning but hot in the afternoon.
I would bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and bug spray.
Sign up for the tour guide because after the balloon ride; you are left on your own for 4 hours. Having a tour guide passes the time. The tour guide cost ~ 600 Pesos.
They do not provide narration when in the hot air balloon. You will get that if you sign up for the tour guide.
They will bring you back to your hotel.

Great experience! Amazing pic moments. Good breakfast and entertainment at the end which aren’t included in some other packages you see. Only issue is the ride within right van amongst others. If you’re a couple try not to get stuck in last row save that for families. Make sure to dress warm.

How long does it take to get a refund when your tour is cancelled by Bamba? And how do they proceed?
I sent all my details for the refund through my travel agent who didn’t hear back from them yet, and I haven’t been able to get the answer from Bamba. Has anyone ever had a similar experience?
Would love to get my money back fast since I have to organize my own tour before prices go up!

Well, I arranged 2 trips in South Africa via Bamba Experience. One for Garden Route and the other for Kruger National Park.
Both were perfect. They were punctual in time and guides were fully informative.

I am trying to figure out where the meeting point is for the "Sedona, Monument Valley & Antelope Canyon Experience" Tour. As I need to start preparing travel arrangements to get to Las Vegas. Would you know where the specific meeting point would be in Las Vegas for this tour's departure?

Is it safe to be in Bangkok around New Year!! What are the attractions?
MrInternational02
London, UK95 contributions
Hi there.
Thank you very much for contacting us!
Yes, it's normally always safe in Bangkok. There has been some negative news coming from Bangkok, but that is usually exaggerated. There is some political tension every now and then and protests. But this does not affect tourists in any way, shape or form. Right now things are very calm in Bangkok so it will not be any issue at all for you in Bangkok.
New Year's will be very very full so you might struggle to find a hotel. I would recommend checking as soon as possible because there may not be availability in hotels. There are very very many attractions in Bangkok, but the most interesting place is of course the Grand Palace, Wat Phra Kaew, Wat Arun, Wat Pho, and I would also recommend doing a boat ride on the river.
What are you planning on doing except Bangkok? And for how long? If you give us any more information, then we can gladly help you out more.
Best regards,
Bamba Experience
