Cusco 10-Day Tours and Trips

excellent itinerary. We spent 2 days in Machu Picchu. Most tours only spend one day which is not enough. Our booked hotels were excellent as were the meals. But most important were our guides and . They were fantastic. They knew their history very well and they knew how to pace our group, not only because of the altitude but because of the ages in our group. I think that I was the oldest (82). We spent 2 days in Lima, 2 days in the sacred valley, then on to Machu Picchu for 2 days. The last 3 days were spent in Cusco at the Marriott Convento, 2 blocks from the main square. You even had the option of visiting Rainbow mountain altitude 16,500ft. near Cusco. We even were booked on the restaurant carriage of the train to Machu picchu for a great meal.

Everything was great, except 1 hiccup at the hotel in Cusco. From the look, it's nice. But not functional. Faucet wasn't proportional, so when the water ran, the whole counter got wet & ran down to the bathroom floor. The mattress kept sliding away from the bed. The hotel dining area was leaking when raining. We could hear people outside talking from our room. Other than that, the rest was perfectly fine.

Overall, had an excellent time and highly recommend G Adventures Geluxe tour! I am a very experienced traveler, but you really need a tour operator to see Peru / Machu Picchu / Inca Trail, and G Adventures is the best! I saw many other tour groups along the way, and they seemed to be larger and/or having lower quality experiences / food / accommodations. G Adventures Geluxe is not cheap, but it's worth the cost - accommodations, food, and experiences were excellent. And I was absolutely blown away by the food, accommodation, and attention to detail on the Inca Trail....five star experience from the tents to warm sleeping bags to the absolutely amazing meals. Shout out to our CEO, our guide on the trek, our chef, and the porters who worked SO hard to make our trip comfortable!!! (Note: despite all the comforts, it is still camping/glamping and difficult hiking, so take that into consideration when deciding if this is for you.)

It was certainly the glamping experience of doing the 4 day Inca Trail. Despite having taken time to acclimatise and prepare, I still struggled with my breathing capacity on the steep uphill parts of the trail. The GAdventure team made sure it was an incredible and memorable experience.

Great trip. Beautiful archeological sites and cities included in the itinerary. Would have been helpful for many travelers to know that for the two nights at Machu Picchu you will need an overnight bag for the train ride and hotel stay as your luggage is likely too large for the train to Machu Picchu. Cusco was a great city to walk around and sample a lot of good restaurants.

Our trip to Peru was executed flawlessly thanks to the organization and effort of G Adventures and our incredible guide, Wenny. We got to see and experience so many different things and Wenny took such amazing care of our group. This was our second trip with G Adventures and we plan to do more... we have never been disappointed and always make the best memories!
