Wonderful Short Inca Trail!!!

Our tour guide Grober was amazing! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and understanding. We had a superb short Inca trail with Grober, he was an excellent tour guide, showed us some amazing things and told us some really cool facts about the land, culture and history. I would do it again with him as a guide. Thank you Grober and Sam Travel for an amazing once in a life time experience.

Amazing 2 day Inca Trail

We did the 2-day Inca Trail and it was such a special experience, especially as it was just my boyfriend and me. Having a private experience made it feel even more memorable and personal. Our tour guide, Grober, was fantastic — very knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout the whole experience. He was with us the entire time, sharing interesting information, helpful tips, and making sure we were comfortable along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or a more memorable experience. Thank you, Grober! Highly recommend!

Best experience ever!

Elias Usca was amazing! He helped me through every tough area of the hike. The hike itself was beyond belief. Every turn had an amazing view. We had a comprehensive tour through the history of the Inca civilization!

Classing 4D/3N Inca Trail

This was truly one of the most rewarding treks to Machu Picchu and wouldn’t have done it any other way. Elias Usca was out guide and he was phenomenal, one of the best guides we could have gotten to take us thru such a sacred passage. Book with Sam Travels you won’t regret it

2 Day Hike on Inca Trail to Machu Pichu

Grober was an amazing guide on our two day trek on the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The day started with Grover and Lewis picking us up and taking us to the train station. The hike started and was an amazing experience. He was so supportive and encouraging and helpful during the entire hike he is also an amazing photographer when we were when we came to the town he helped us get settled in the hotel and took us to a great dinner. The second day tour of Machu Picchu was amazing as well. He again took the time to explain to us the history of the people and history of Machu Picchu and also took amazing pictures. If you were looking for a tour guide Grober is your guy.

Grober was an amazing guide. We did the 2d 1n Inca trail and MachuPicchu tour. If you’re interested in the history behind your travels, I’d highly recommend you use Grober through Sam Travel.

Machu Rocks

I’ve traveled a lot throughout my lifetime. This trip was challenging, mentally and physically. I know in my heart that I would not have made it through the tough times without our fearless leader (Guide) Josep! From day one, he was honest, clear about what we needed to accomplish and therefore us during the hardest and most challenging moments. The cherry on top was his amazing personality, wisdom, and charm. The others that need to be acknowledge are the porters (ALL 12) and their champion, Cesar! His porters are superheroes I felt tumbled knowing I was carrying a day pack and they were carrying 4 to 5 times my weight with ease and commitment. Last answer certainly not least was Chef Mario! How does a man make a beautiful cake with a Bunsen burner and a pot, look and taste so amazing. We told the man he should make a cookbook and we mean it. Bottom line this adventure pushed me to my limits and if not for my amazing friends and Josep and the rest of the team, I wouldn’t have this Lifetime memory! Thank you, team and family Mac!

Incredible Experience

This was an incredible experience. Our guide Josep was wonderful and so knowledgeable. Mario was an amazing chef and everything we ate was delicious. Cesar and the rest of the porters were wonderful and this trip could not happen without them. I highly recommend booking this tour.
