Thoroughly enjoy the trip. The itinerary was well thought out. Plenty of time to allow for acclimatisation before the final highlight - the Inca Trail. Special shout out to Darwin our tour leader who goes extra mile to ensure we enjoy our trip. He is very keen to share his knowledge and love about Peru.

Arturo was a fantastic leader and guide. Knowledgable, helpful, caring, experienced and amusing. This was my 11th Explore holiday and Arturo is up there with the best guides. The porters and cooks are heroes - we were very happy to tip them generously. The itinerary was perfect, though no one should underestimate the challenge of around ten hours walking on day three. Cusco hotel staff were fine but the layout around a central atrium means the rooms are very noisy. The hotel near Machu Picchu was lovely but the staff were rude, unhelpful and disinterested. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip - but be sure to get into shape beforehand and consider your kit carefully.

I could describe in detail how magical Peru is. Instead, I can only say, go to Peru, do this tour. We had an amazing time. Trekking the Inca Trail was of course fantastic, but Colca Canyon, Arequipa and Cusco was amazing as well. Great itinerary. Great Guide. Peru is magical.

Roger is the best of the best. Our experience wouldn’t have been the same without him - he knows everyone and everything. A true ‘go to’ person to have with you in Peru. He’s super cool and brings good vibes to the group. He made the experience in my opinion - it wouldn’t have been the same without him and his extensive knowledge of the locals and Peru.
