Excellent small group tours
Peru

Oct 3 - Oct 7, 2022
I loved the trip to Cusco & Lima. I especially liked the size of our group: just my friend and I and our guide. We completed the two day Inca Trail and Machu Picchu as well as Rainbow Mountain with our guide. We were able to go at our own pace, stop and take pictures or just rest at any time. The only change I would make is to include beverages for the meals included in the tours with the guide. I understand not including beer or wine, but at least include water. We were expected to pay cash for beverages with our meals with our guide. It didn’t make sense that our meal was included, but the beverage was not.
Hotel Reviews
While off the beaten path a bit, it was still close enough to the bus stop and restaurants. Our room had a spectacular view of the mountains and the dining room shared the same view. We saw beautiful hummingbirds visiting through the window.
Very comfortable, centrally located hotel.
Activity Reviews
We were able to set our own pace as it was just my friend and I and our guide. It was a wonderful experience! The only suggestion I would make is that the guide should explain/stress that there are no bathrooms at all after the train until pretty much the sun gate. This is many hours in (5 hours) and you must stay hydrated- creates an interesting paradox.
The tour of Cusco was excellent!
Excellent tour!
Day 2 of this Trail is spent at Machu Picchu and it is breathtaking. Be prepared to take lots of pictures. The guide (Valerio) was key in explaining the history and importance of the many areas here. Bring a few soles in change for the bathroom and a water bottle.
Our guide (Valerio) was key on this tour. He encouraged us, was patient, checked on our progress/condition and reminded us we could get a horse at any time.
Hi Linda,
Thank you so much for you review and feedback, I'll be sure to share this with my team so we can improve some things in the future.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your short Inca Trail!
