Machu Picchu Tours in November 2026

We planned our epic trip to South America with Analia. She was excellent at listening, advising, tailoring, meeting expectations for our requirements to make this trip an amazing experience. Joaquina then took over to support and guide us through the finer details of the trip, and whilst we were on our holiday. We had access to a WhatsApp support for any queries along the way, a 24 hour emergency WhatsApp number also. The tours and guides were of all very good, with some guides standing out as excellent. We did find it a little annoying when on larger tours with multi lingual guides as we seemed to be in the minority. It felt like we weren't gaining from the same level of information as that delivered to the Spanish speaking! However, overall, the service was seamless, caring, friendly and professional. I would recommend the team without hesitation. Thank you 🙂🙂

Was very impressed with this tour company. My group did our trek November 11-14, 2023. As a first time traveler to Peru and the Andes mountains, I could not think of a better introduction to see the Incan Trail and Machu Picchu. Our trek of 3 nights of the classic Incan Trail in my opinion was flawless experience all things considered. I want to give a big shoutout to our chef Simon and all the porters! The meals were delicious. Simon and his assistants did a great job! Our guides Javi and Valentin went above and beyond for everyone in our group. Great guys! They made it a lot of fun and shared with us stories and history of the region. It is definitely a challenging hike to do the classic Incan trail especially at this altitude. I definitely recommend the basics of preparing physically and eating extra healthy to be doing this trek. It is very doable for the majority of people in half way decent shape. Good hydration is something to take seriously. You will not appreciate the experience in the same way without the physical challenge of being out in the nature for 3 days trekking. Really awesome to see the variety of microclimates throughout the trail. The operator is a great business and they hire really awesome people! I have all positive things to say. In conversation with people about visiting Machu Picchu I will always remember this tour company.

I went on Salkantay Trek and the experience was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Edward was phenomenal throughout, answering all our questions and teaching us about the history, geography, nature and culture of that incredible place. I've never had a better tour guide anywhere I've been. The whole experience of Salkantay wouldn't have been possible without the amazing Chef Sebastian and our porters, Cesar, Jairo, David as well as our horseman Gabriel. Sebastian cooked the most incredible meals, we basically had a banquet for breakfast, lunch and dinner! The porters not only helped with all the cooking but also set up our campsite each night, making sure we were comfortable, safe and able to continue the trek each day. I will be recommending this tour company to everyone I know, and if you're traveling to the Cusco region I don't think there's a better company you could go with.

I just trust that everything is taken care off to let us just experience and understand something of the culture. Even the altitude difficulties didn't deter the group pulling together for each other.

My husband and I are both grateful for Xema's handling of a big group on this tour. It was a challenging one and stressful to handle all the bookings, from our flights to Arequipa and back to Lima, plus the local transport (buses and trains). It was such an amazing experience Peru with the careful planning of ExpatExplore and the tour director. Another experience, different from all the other tours we joined as we used only 1 bus everyday for the tour. A different set up, I should say. Adapt, adjust and just be glad that we are all safe.

This was the best tour that we have ever done before. We can highly recommend the experience to: the best of Machu Picchu, Cusco and Amazon in seven days. The places we went to, the ancient ruins we saw, the delicious food we had and the picturesque landscapes we experienced through the tour were all memorable. But what made this tour so outstanding and unique were our guides: Peter our Machu Picchu expert and Gris that showed us the other sites in Cusco. They were not only amazing tours guides, very knowledgable and funny, but they also helped us to capture these beautiful sites with pictures. thanks a lot for that.
