The transport and most accommodations were outstanding. The guides were all EXCELLENT, especially Jhon Chales, who bent over backwards to help all of us while dealing with an extremely demanding and unreasonable person in our group.
Shared more about this previously :) But I also wanted to add that for me, the highlight of the trip was our visit to the Parque de la Papa. This was such a special opportunity and the work G Adventures does for local communities is admirable.
The 21 day adventure exceeded my expectations. It provided a wonderful introduction to the history and diversity of Peru’s culture. The hike to Machu Picchu was, in places, challenging but imminently doable. The tour leaders were knowledgeable, friendly, engaging and interesting people.
My desire to participate in another G Adventures tour is driven in large part by the quality of their tour leaders.
Absolutely amazing is all I can say. The hike was definitely one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it was so worth it. Our guides made sure that we had the best overall experience and I would recommend G adventures to everyone! The scenic views throughout the hike were absolutely breathtaking. The food was really good and we had no issues with our accommodations or travel. Thanks again to all the wonderful staff at G adventures that were with us throughout our Journey!
The trip was breathtaking- literally and figuratively. The food was so amazing, the people were just so lovely and friendly wherever you went. The streets were so full of charm and culture. Everyday was something new and I absolutely had a blast! ALL THANKS TO THE BEST GUIDE EVER!! WENNY!!
Hotels were good and except for the one in Cusco, they were very well located. Itinerary was great. I was met with friendly guides and drivers at each stage. City tours were excellent.

Arturo was the best leader ever and would highly recommend him for the leader of the year. The trip was varied and taught be so much. Definitely ( if you can!) go to Inti Raymi. The most spectacular event I have ever seen
The Amazon extension was well worth the money as stayed in superb lodges with excellent food
