    We had a wonderful time. Everyone we interacted with at G Adventures was amazing, including a late night visit from a doctor. Highly recommend this tour!

    Our guide was exceptionally helpful and knowledgeable. The tour was fast paced but I wouldn’t have missed anything we saw. Only comment I can offer to help: emphasize how much easier it is to convert your money to soles rather than deal with American dollars.

    I really enjoyed the tour. If I could ask for anything different, it would have been more opportunities to interact with the local community for a more immersive cultural experience.

    Excellent itinerary that went to all the places I wanted to visit in the Sacred Vally culminating in Machu Picchu. The guides were funny , knowledgeable and always kept us informed on where we were going and what to expect. They answered all questions swiftly and gave us advise on where to eat or shop .

    This tour was great! Alim was amazing and took very good care of us. My one suggestion is it would have been nice to know how much walking and climbing was expected during the tour.

    I really enjoyed my tour, small group was great, hotel breakfast was ok. One hotel had construction all day and couldn't relax in my room.

    Outstanding first trip to Peru! Amazing opportunity to get a nice overview of Lima and Cusco. Travelling through the Andes and hiking the last 7 miles of the Inca Trail were priceless.This trip gives a broad overview of a LOT but obviously to really get into more detail on any given region /city/cultural aspect requires a longer stay. Nonetheless, I don't think we could have possibly done more in 8 days. All the more reason to go back!

    Fantastic tour, lovely food and great guide. Had enough time everywhere except Cusco..could have done with an extra day or two there, so it's worth adding extra days to your tour to do more activities around Cusco.

    Thanks for your suggestion I'll make sure if gets to the right people. Super happy to hear everything else went well - Peru is Fabulous!
