Overall 10 ot of 10 for the trip, the guides, staff and Explore.Explore! commented on this reviewThanks for the fabulous review! On all altitude trips we aim to provide the right level of acclimatisation, and I'm glad to hear that it's working in Peru.

- AAngela· May 17th, 2019We had a few mornings where we were with a local guide. To enjoy the morning sessions more, each person commented that there really needed to be a half hour break built into these days. By doing so, we are less exhaused, able to process all we are being told and more importantly better able to enjoy the rest of the guided too. They seemed rushed and certainly my husband and I did not enjoy them as much as we would have liked because of the pace. My husband had not been feeling well, so he felt he was just working to keep up. Breaks were definitely needed. That being said, it was an amazing trip.Show moreExplore! commented on this reviewMany thanks for your review. I'm really glad that you had an amazing trip despite feeling a little rushed in the mornings. We haven't had that feedback before, but will certainly monitor future feedback and our Product team will review the daily timings... Show moreTrip date: May 2018
