Hands down one of the best trips I’ve ever done

Overall I had a good time. The Inca Trail was excellent, however as stated Roger lacks experience. I also felt that at certain parts of the tour we spent to much time in buses.

It was a fantastic holiday and I would 100% recommend it to everyone. Our CEO was very knowledgeable and very willing to accommodate any of our needs. I particularly liked that when we done one of our added extra tours, the flight over the Nazca Lines, t...

I loved this experience. I learned a lot about Peruvian culture and got to see and explore a country I didn’t know too much about. My main reason for this trip was to learn more about Incan history and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Everyone in my gro...

I had an action packed 2 weeks in Peru. We were constantly on the move and got to see a lot of the country, experience the culture and interact with the people. I liked having a smaller group of 7 people. We go to know one another well and became friends...

It was a great trip that fit what we expected for the price and amount of time. Was fun and great people, but restaraunt wait times took up so much time and we would sit at tables for over two hours.
