This was a fantastic trip with a really varied itinerary. The accommodation on the whole was good, the only exception being the guesthouse on Taquile which was very basic. Hector our guide was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable as well as being kind and personable. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.

This is the way to travel to Peru as the hosts pointed out significant features of where we were which we’d otherwise walk on by. The guides were very knowledgeable and their pride came through in their discussions.

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 had such a wonderful experience on the Inca Trail trip. The G Adventures staff were all enthusiastic, engaged and knew what was needed to make the trip exciting, educational and enjoyable. I recommend G Adventures to anyone interested in being immersed into a new culture and and enjoying an experience of a lifetime.
