    The 2 days on the Inca trail and in Machu Picchu exceeded all expectations and hopes for the experience. Just the right level of physical challenge to give a sense of achievement. Brilliantly organised from start to finish, Willian and Pepe made sure that we were in all the right places at the right times. Willian gave an insight, not only to the history of the site and surrounding lands, but how the ancient beliefs and culture of his ancestors influence local life today. Helped by having great fellow adventurers it was a wonderful experience.

  • A good way to hike and see the sites in a shorter time.

    Great 2 day trip from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Our guides Frank and Jose Luis took very good care of us. Hiking with the group created a great dynamic. I started the hike alone and completed it with 11 new friends! A lot of sites to see along the way. The guides shared good information with us. The food was also really good. Quick tips: I visited during April, make sure to have layers. The same day can go from raining in the korning to very sunny. Carry small snacks, water, sunscreen, mosquito spray

  • Amazing experience!

    Incredible and unforgettable once in a lifetime experience - thank you to Edy and Romario for being the best tour guides ever. Edy and Romario were wonderful guides, full of knowledge, kindness and patience. We were super lucky with the weather and had a beautiful (but challenging) hike on the first day. The second day we went to Machu Picchu and saw the mist slowly disappear to reveal the ancient city. Edy was very enigmatic and knowledgeable and we are very grateful for everything we learned. We are also happy to support a tour company that was founded by two porters and continues to provide support to local communities. We had an amazing time and would highly encourage anyone to do this wonderful experience!!

    Heavy rain and landslides meant that our 2-day Inca Trail experience was cancelled, as the government closed the trail - instead, we were offered the combined Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu tour, which we thoroughly enjoyed. The company handled this situation well and Jennifer was an excellent tour guide - she was friendly, kind and full of interesting information about the places we visited. She also made sure we kept to a tight schedule to catch our train up to Aguas Calientes. The train situation and buses up to Machu Picchu were a little chaotic, and I really appreciated having Jennifer on hand to guide us - I would not have wanted to navigate that unaided.

  • Once in a lifetime trip

    This trip was once in a lifetime. The Inca trail was closed because if the rain, but they adjusted right away and still gave us a great experience. Frank was an incredible tour guide who made everything a blast. Food and lodging was great. They even helped get us to the airport afterwards
