What our clients have said:
"Yohn is superior at his job in every aspect of the work. Yohn loves what he does and it shows. He made the trip for us extra special. We feel that we have a new friend in a far off land were we can revisit over the years. He made us feel special. He's great with managing the entire operation. I would highly recommend Yohn as the best guide in the area. What an incredible resource he is for building Active South America around into the future. Yohn and his wife are very dedicated employees that are very good at what they do." "Yohn was enthusiastic, well informed , and just a great human being!! He shared his stories and made us feel like we were all friends." "Yes!! Yohn was excellent in all aspects. His communication, level of engagement, listening, keeping the group together etc was par excellence. Overall, he ensured that the trip went off smoothly and everyone had fun." "Yohn was awesome. He was a great guide, an excellent teacher, and I will consider him a friend. " "The guide who never stops smiling :) He didn't even mind when I had my brakes on all the way down the mountain." "Yohn was very friendly and helpful during the entire trip. He genuinely seemed to enjoy the interaction with the group and being able to share his knowledge of Peru with us. He was always interested in learning how the trip could be improved." "He was fantastic. His knowledge of the area was exceptional. He handled the strike perfectly and we never doubted his direction. Cynthia was great on the trail as well." "Yohn is the best! A stellar individual with the utmost integrity." "I don't think there are enough words to describe how much we appreciate Yohn. Active is so lucky to have a guide like him. He took such great care of us and always made sure that we wanted nothing. On top of that, we have acquired a great friend and someone who will always be welcome in our homes when he comes to see us in the US. Yohn was always up for the task and always enthusiastic. He made our trip was it was and it was definitely awesome!" "Yohn did an absolutely fantastic job. I cannot sing his praises highly enough. Anytime there was anything that even looked like it had the faintest idea of being a minor inconvenience, he was all over it. He made sure that everyone had a good time." "Yohn was outstanding - 10 plus across the board. He joined us in laughter, in fun, in pain and demonstrated his cultural history in a homemade way. Very true to life and down to earth. Our "family" was a family due to his ability to make everyone feel welcome. His ability for detail and organization would put CEOs to shame." "Professional, confident and organised, good fun and a great companion." "Yohn was absolutely amazing. He truly cares about his job and making sure everyone is comfortable and enjoying themselves. He went above and beyond the call of duty in meeting all of our needs. I would recommend this trip to others simply on the basis of having Yohn as a guide!" "Yohn is a great trip leader. He showed genuine care and concern for all of us in the group. People are a very special part of your organization. Just the best!" "Yohn was the best part of the trip. Everything ran smoothly, even in times when the odds were against him! He listened to the needs of the group and was also extremely patient and was always there to help out the group. We also got a sense of the culture through listening to Yohn. Spending time with him allowed us to get to know Peru in a unique way. You could tell that he was passionate about the activities. Thanks to Yohn, we had an amazing time!" "Outstanding, a wonderful young man that had a lovely way with everyone and made sure everyone was included and enjoying themselves. I felt he went way beyond the call of duty in listening to what we wanted to do and making it happen effortlessly. " "Yohn was a doll-very sweet, smart, and patient. " "He really took care of each and every one of us. He was always positive, patient, and helpful. Really seemed to enjoy what he was doing. I highly recommend him as a guide for the future." "Yohn couldn't get a better rating. He attended to our needs and is a wonderful person with a passion for the outdoors, and a love of his country." "I literally can't say enough about Yohn, whom I now regard as a personal friend. He was constantly attentive. He always knew the right places to go, and always got the answer to any question I might have had. He was also both relentlessly cheerful and tireless. Were I to return to Peru (and I hope to!) I would wish to be lucky enough to "get" Yohn again. He was that good.
" "Yohn was a fantastic guide. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and lots of fun." "Great - excellent knowledge, language skills, enthusiasm, ability to communicate - awesome all round!
" "Very knowledgeable and could spot problems 'before' they happened." |
