I would like to thank Rojer, William and Pep for theor guidance and care. Sophie (9y) and I have had a wonderful day and an even better hike. The organization was very good, the food was delicious, and the guidance pleasant, informative and motivating. The whole group reached Machu Picchu.

We had a wonderful tour to Machu Picchu as a family (kids 7 & 9 years). The tour is perfect if you want to get a less touristic view on Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate and entering Machu Picchu on the first day in the afternoon when the most tourists are gone. The guide and the food were great. Thanks again!

The trip was absolutely amazing. Everything was organized so well and the meeting the night before was really helpful so we knew exactly what to bring and what to expect. The guides, Jason and Werner, were incredibly knowledgeable. The hike was a long day but manageable for sure but enough of a workout that it made you feel like you accomplished something. The whole 48 hours was just surreal. From the train ride, to getting dropped off in the jungle; to breakfast and lunch in the middle of the jungle and hike, to getting to see Machu Picchu from the Sun Gate then coming back the next day to explore the ruins more and finally to the most fun train ride back. It is truly something I won’t forget any time soon.

William and Fernando went above and beyond in keeping myself and the group updated on all communications of what was happening throughout the tour, making me feel safe and secure during the trip, and also motivating us to finishing the trek. While of course being the best photographers at various viewpoints of the trek. Williams storytelling was one of my favorite things as it really brought life to the magical Machu Picchu experience as well and I could probably listen to his stories for even longer. Muchísimas gracias muchachos por habernos cuidado y asegurar que tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa!!!

A very fun trek to see Machu Picchu where you will also see many other Inka ruins Enroute. Easy as we saw several elderly people attempting it too! Delicious food at lunch break, and our tour guide José and Miguel really knew a lot about the site and made the whole experience very enjoyable. Lastly great way to meet others as a solo traveller!

Challenging hike, but incredible views. Beyond worth the effort. The meals, transportation, everything was amazing. We had a small hiccup on the initial pick up but they corrected it asap and it did not negatively impact our trip. They were quick to also apologize for the mistake which is nice to see. Rosmel was an amazing guide, as well as his partner.

Amazing trip! Edy and his team were incredible, we had breakfast before we started hiking then lunch after 4/5 hour hike and both were very good. Unbelievable sights and the team added to that with knowledge, humour and assistance. Would definitely recommend.
