Well worth it! Our driver was Frank and guide was Jimmy. We were picked up at 07:45 from our hotel and dropped back to town centre around 18:30. We got to see so many beautiful landscapes within the Sacred Valley of the Inca. Jimmy was awesome, friendly and helpful. I definitely would recommend this day tour. We bought our entry ticket (tourism pass as they call it) once we got on the tour. Worked out better for us we only wanted to do the Sacred Valley tour. Thanks for a great day guys!

I had an amazing time with Roger and the team. Our chef was highly talented, each meal was well thought out and delicious. Our team worked so hard to ensure everything was perfect, delivering hot water and coca tea tent side, they really went the extra mile to ensure we had the best experience. The trek was beautiful and quiet, I loved walking through the remote villages. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend g-adventures to anyone!

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!

What a great trip, with the highlights being Rainbow mountain, Lake Titicaca and the best of all, hiking the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. I feel I have really been able to delve into Peru and now know much more about the country, the people and their cultural beliefs. The trip was very well organised, supported by our excellent guide Julio. Julio was so knowledgeable on all aspects of Peru and shared so many interesting facts about the local areas we visited. The trip ran very smoothly and we felt safe and well looked after through out. Nothing was too much trouble and I felt Julio went above and beyond with his insightful information and organisation, such as booking us great restaurants and the archeological sites we toured. The Peruvian food was amazing, so colourful, tasty and well presented. All the accommodations were clean and in good areas. The porter team supporting our Inca trek were amazing, friendly, efficient and the service and food they provided was very good.

Fantastic from start to finish and the landscapes just kept getting more and more impressive. Our guide Darwin was fantastic and everything was organised to a T. It made it so enjoyable having everything run so smoothly from place to place. The trekking to Macchu Picchu and on the quarry trail were an absolute highlight.

This was an excellent trip in every way. The leader Alejandro was outstanding- very caring, helpful , informative and well-organised. Peru is a varied and interesting country and although Machu Picchu was spectacular there were many other highlights to our tour. The itinerary covered a lot of ground but it was not too rushed with a good mix of organised activities and some free time. The transport by bus and train was comfortable and the hotels were good and well-situated.

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.
