The Journey to Macchu Picchu with National Geographic and G Adventures was so much more than I bargained for. Not only did we see and explore Macchu Picchu, but in the days leading up to the "Big Mountain' we learned so much about the Incan culture and practices from the visits to other lesser-known archeological and cultural sites, that by the time we arrived at the UNESCO World Heritage, Macchu Picchu, I felt that I actually understood this extraordinary site and its significance to the Incan people.

This was by far the best tour we made before heading out to Peru. The trip included getting picked up from Airbnb and dropped off at the Vistadome train station. Then from the train station to the bus up to Machu Picchu. There was always a guide from the tour company waiting for us. We were never left to wander what the next step was. Our guide at Machu Picchu was very knowledgeable on the history of Machu Picchu and was able to answer all our questions. After Machu Picchu it included a lunch buffet which we also enjoyed. Overall we were left with a beyond great experience.

Thank you very much for the wonderful trip to Peru! We were in the exclusive situation of being able to enjoy the trip as a private adventure, because apart from us two only the respective tour guide and the driver / s were there, no other participants. Everything was well organized, the hotels with good / very good standard. Thanks also to the professional and safe drivers who have always brought us well to our respective destinations and provided us well on the way. Special thanks to our tour guides, without whose comprehensively transmitted knowledge the journey would have been only half as intresting: - Viktor Aranda - interesting and varied information about Lima and the Inca culture, - Ronny Vizcarra - always in a good mood, with the ability to inspire the fellow travelers. May he keep his humor and his dreams would be! - Hermann Bouroncle - just one day, but with lots of information about the country and its people. - Benito Gonzales - excellent, full of profound knowledge that he was able to convey well. All the best for him, always good harvests and possibly one or two Wuawua !!! - Anani Tarraga - very good knowledge, unobtrusive mediated. She showed us the most beautiful corners of Machu Picchu and offered some more highlights on the journey. A strong woman with a big heart, whom we wish the best for the future.

Explore Peru & Bolivia

Peru and Bolivia are both lands of the epic and that which must be seen to be believed. This 25-day odyssey takes you to the world’s highest-navigable lake (Titicaca), the world’s largest tropical rainforest (the Amazon), the world’s highest administrative capital (La Paz) and the world’s largest salt flats (Uyuni). It also includes the chance to trek the Inca Trail before emerging above Machu Picchu, which isn’t actually a world-record holder but probably should be for ‘best ancient city in the clouds’. In between the gasps you can ramble through markets, sipping Pisco sours and munching ceviche with locals.

My husband and I had a wonderful trip, but our friends, who aren't as physically fit, had a hard time in the high altitudes - something to consider if you are older and not in good shape. The country is beautiful, the people were very friendly, and our main and local guides were wonderful.

Excellent. Enjoyed the diverse country, accommodation, sites visited especially Titicaca and of course Machu Picchu. Zema is quietly confident and very competent. Handles diverse characters really well. Lunches included were at outstanding restaurants. Tolerable delays waiting for rides and minor inconveniences dragging luggage through narrow streets etc.
