Traveller Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, trekking, local culture and ruins. I found the beyond trek to be so well worth it as it gave me insight into the local culture and the chance to view areas off the beaten track.

What did it for me was the amazing scenery, ability of crew to set up camp and produce such good food, Macchu Picchu to Ollantaytambo train ride and the friendly Peruvians, in fact, almost everything!

High praise for the catering. Not one dodgy tummy and consistently high quality tuck.
"Chema" is a complex character and can appear quite dark and moody but these are minor quibbles. His knowledge is breathtaking, matched only by his passion for the mountains. He is also a master tactician and brilliantly avoided all crowds on the final days on the Inca Trail, while both walking and sleeping. His English is superb by the way.
I most enjoyed the 'beyond' bit of the trek...

Our trip guide was wonderful. Very knowledgable about every aspect of his country, passionate about sharing his knowledge, & a very good leader. As the slowest member of the group he made me feel comfortable with my own pace going up the mountains, so that I didn't feel guilty of holding everyone back. I've got a feeling our beach holidays may now be a thing of the past!

The knowledge of the guide was outstanding and the support crew were wonderful.

The trip was pretty well faultless throughout. The food on trek was excellent, in fact remarkable considering the remoteness of the ealy part of the trek. By the time the trek was over we had eaten a wide variety of classic local dishes.
I have trekked in most high places in the world and this was one of the best. Machu Pichu is an unforgettable experience but for me the best part of the trip was the trek before joining the Machu Pichu trail especially the camp before the Ancascocha pass. A truly beautiful camp site.

Would just like to thank everyone involved, great overall commitment and understanding from the whole company, quick replies to any problems and efficient organisation throughout.

The extension to Lake Titicaca was very good, the Orient Express train relaxing and the stay on Taquile island particularly interesting. George gave us a very interesting detailed insight into the way of life on the island. The people very wonderful and everyone did their best for us. George ensured that everything went well and stayed at the airport to make sure we got thr ough okay. He checked on the flight times, which had been changed again, and so ensured everything went according to plan.

I most enjoyed the sun actually shining when we reached the Sun gate at Machu Picchu. Cusco was a brilliant city with something going on all the time.
Janet Donbavand, Twickenham
A very good trek, I've done a good number of different ones now and would say this was amoungst the best.
The group was a fit bunch and we all had a sense of humour which was similiar including the leader and this helped greatly. Going thru the Sun gate from rainy to all sun as we stepped through was fantastic.... what holidays are made off.
