My overall experience on this trip was absolutely unforgettable. The locations were stunning, and the people of Peru were incredibly warm and welcoming. I always felt safe exploring both Cusco and Lima, which made the trip even more enjoyable. The four-day hike to Machu Picchu was truly amazing, and the final tour of Machu Picchu (Circuito 2), led by David, was a definite highlight. The views were simply breathtaking—an experience I’ll never forget!

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.
