The comfortable camping experience on the Inca Trail was a dream come true. For a trail that is legendary for being quite crowded, the itinerary we followed allowed us to experience the trail almost entirely on our own. It was amazing. Moreover, the camping experience felt like glamping with better food on the trail than the restaurants we went to as a group.

Our trip to Peru was executed flawlessly thanks to the organization and effort of G Adventures and our incredible guide, Wenny. We got to see and experience so many different things and Wenny took such amazing care of our group. This was our second trip with G Adventures and we plan to do more... we have never been disappointed and always make the best memories!

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.
