“I did the 4 day, 3 night classic Inca trail . I booked it as part of a longer trip to Peru INCA TRAIL. The Inca Trail was everything I expected & more. It was physically & mentally tough but the support I received from the amazing porters and CEO (Gerson) was fantastic, and, of course, the coca tea!! I have to admit I was very close to turning back on day 1 in the morning as I found the initial hill very hard and two people from another group had given up and were walking in the opposite direction back down to the start, it was a tough moment. However, I ploughed on, and dropped my pace and took regular breaks to catch my breath and was rewarded with stunning views and scenery, and making it to the Sun gate early morning on day 4 to see Machu Picchu appear from the clouds was a simply magical moment in my life. Although I was prepared for the infamous squat toilets, I was surprised to find there were some flush toilets along the route and locals selling drinks & sweets on the first 2 days too.”

“We cannot recommend this trip more highly. It provided us with a truly memorable combination of South American experiences; the Amazon Rain forest ecology with our lovely guide Sol, the Inca ruins of Cusco (and its chocolate museum!) the fascinating sacred Valley and 4 amazing days trekking under canvas with Henry up the Trail to reach our iconic destination, Machu Picchu. Then finally the high lake of Titicaca in a local farmers homestay (Peruvian hat comes in handy as no central heating or hot water but still superb!) on an island there. We also enjoyed some Peruvian cuisine worthy of Masterchef. All the staff could not have been kinder or more professional in their assistance: the hotels were well chosen and with just one nights exception, provided us with excellent accommodation. We are now planning our return to the continent next year.”

“We have just returned from the Best of Peru tour. We would highly recommend it for the variety of settings: Amazon jungle, Macchu Picchu trek and islands in Lake Titicaca. The tour was excellently led by a variety of guides but the highlight was definitely the impossibly beautiful and challenging Inca Trail. The whole team of guides (Jeiko and Hector) and chefs and porters were so supportive and encouraging that it turned into an amazingly spiritual and satisfying experience. Hard to get permits now so book early and get training!”
