    The trip on the Inca trail itself was great, our guide Shandi was amazing and so were the porters (lead by Francisco) and chef! I have so much respect for them all and how much the team helped us get the most out of the experience!

    The Inca Trail was incredible! Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The porters were also fantastic, we felt extremely spoilt the entire way. Intrepid was a great company to book through. It was nice knowing that everyone on the trip was in their 2s and everyone spoke English. The only downfall was that booking through Intrepid was quite a bit more expensive than other tour companies (although the pre and post trek accommodation was nice and Intrepid had everything organized and paid for for us so the extra cost was worth it for me).

    The two guides were fantastic! Especially Cesar Smith Cuba Castilla (""Smithy""). He was very encouraging, and whenever I needed a break he would stop with me and tell me all about the flowers and plants around us. He really made me appreciate the beauty of the Inca trail.
