Abigail· February 3rd, 2021SO hard but so amazing. Our guide (whose name I cannot remember as this was now almost 2 years ago) was phenomenal.Show moreTrip date: May 2019- TCTim· November 8th, 2019While I really enjoyed the trek there were some key issues that affected how good the trek was. 1. The daily description for the trek was incorrect and the trek did not follow that itinerary. 2. At the pre-travel briefing the person did not have any of the equipment. It says on the itinerary that a duffle bag will be provided, instead I was given a canvas sack that had a rip in it and was therefore not waterproof. 3. The sleeping bag I was provided was too small for me to fit in, additionally, the zipper was broken. This made for an extremely cold first night. 4. It says in the briefing that water after the first morning will be provided, this was not the case and I had to purchase water along the trek as the guides said that it wasn’t included. 5. I was not given the opportunity to choose my train time to return to Cusco, therefore, as I had to change it, it cost me an additional $34USD. 6. My entrance to Machu Picchu was not one of the first to enter as stated in the itinerary, the remainder of my group entered at 6am, however, my ticket was booked for 7am and I was therefore left outside to wait. Once I entered, I had to find the group and missed half of the tour. Extremely disappointing!!! 7. I was not given all the inclusions as stated in the ‘inclusions’ part of the itinerary. No day pack cover, no t-shirt and no blanket. While as I said I enjoyed the trek, I was very disappointed with the inconsistencies. Therefore I am requesting a partial refund as I did not receive everything as stipulated in the website, and was forced to pay additional expenses when the pre-brief said that it would be included. The tour guides were excellent and I can not recommend them enough! Regards, Tim CoulterShow moreTrip date: November 2019
- JMJasen· July 23rd, 2019Agency - 3 out of 5 Daniel (guide) - 4 out of 5 Pedro + Clemente (Camp chef + assistant) - 5 out of 5 Overall experience - 4 out of 5 To start, our camp chef Pedro and his assistant Clemente were excellent. 5 out of 5 stars. These guys can cook amazing meals in the middle of nowhere so hats off to them. Daniel was overall a good guide. I would ultimately give him a 4 out of 5 stars. He did as much as he could given that we were a slow group. He was very enthusiastic and full of energy. He accommodated us well and helped us combat the brutal altitude sickness using local remedies that worked well. The major downside I would say is the lack of history lessons at each location. He did give us a lot of background of Peruvian cuisine and some botany info but it was disappointing to see other guides provide visuals and history lessons during certain breaks. The agency was probably the worst out of everyone. I would say a 3 out of 5 stars. The guide that came to our hotel to give us the introduction ultimately described the incorrect itinerary for our trip. That leads us to prepare our packs incorrectly. Also, the guide that we would meet the day off was changed last minute without any warning or update. So ultimately the agency seemed like they didn't know what was going on ahead of time and couldn't plan accordingly. Besides that, once we were on the trail, things worked out. By the end of the trip, Daniel felt part of the family which is more than one could ask for when trekking through Andes mountains.Show moreTrip date: July 2019
