    I had a fantastic trip that will stay with me for a long time. The nature was overwhelmingly beautiful at times and the history lesson you receive along the way is in-depth and detailed. You will have many moments on this trip where you will just stop and marvel at the landscapes you are surrounded by. Also the porters are just rockstars!

    Unforgettable! The people, the food, the trail, the beautiful sites, everything was perfect! I will look back on this trip and remember the smiles, cheers, high-fives and overall kindness of each of our 24 porters, the delicious food and feeling of home that our chefs were able to create, and the endless support, encouragement, laughter, smiles and culture sharing our assistant guide Almandra and head guide Enrique were able to bring us all is something I will cherish forever.

    This trip was the best travel experience I have had so far. Our guides (Enrique and Almandra) created a family out of our group - there was so much support, laughs, and sharing of personal experiences along the way. They were extremely motivating and positive. I only have great things to say about them, and will be recommending this tour and these guides to friends and family who want to do this trip next! I was especially impressed and humbled by the hard work of the porters and chefs on the Inka Trail. They are the hardest working people I have ever come across, and I have so much respect for their dedication and hard work. They were all so kind and supportive in our journey and it did not go unnoticed.

    This was a trip of a life time for me and my friends and it did not disappoint. The only detail I would give some further thought to was the way different groups who were doing different tours of the Inca trail were briefed together and this got a bit confusing, teams should be briefed separately to save time & confusion. The trip was very well organised and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    This trip was exactly what I was hoping for. Our guides, Edward and Melky, along with all the porters made this an unforgettable experience. I would absolutely use G Adventures again because of them!

    I was excited but apprehensive about the Trail in the days leading up the Inca Trail. I knew I'd put in a lot of work training and preparing for the trip but was nervous I wouldn't make it. Joel and Katya were amazing supports on the Trail and super encouraging at every stage of the journey - celebrating the achievements even when I was too tired to celebrate myself. Francisco & Cristobel's cooking was honestly some of the best food I ate in Peru with so much care and detail put into every meal! And honestly, I'm still in awe of the porter's and everything they do to make the journey more comfortable/achievable! There is no way I'd be able to have completed the trail while carrying a tent, sleeping bag, food, cooking for myself etc etc. Group 10 were so lovely and welcoming and Jason's waitering was always done with a huge smile! I'm so grateful for everything G Adventures provided and all the support from the team over the 4 day trip!

    A great experience, made special by all of the amazing support and friendliness from everyone. Loved that we got to learn more about incan and pre-incan history, as well as the environment and culture, while also enjoying a really beautiful hike! Even though it rained and Macchu Pichu was pretty cloudy when we got there, would still definitely recommend to others and would hope to get to travel with some familiar faces from the G Adventures team if I go again.
